I am having problem filtering the "mousePressEvent " with installEventFilter
MyTestxEdit is a widget that holds QTextEdit I want that all the events of QTextEdit will be handle by MyTestxEdit I have used the installEventFilter This Trick works well for events like keyPressEvent but doesn't handle the mousePressEvent what am i doing wrong?

class MyTestxEdit1(QTextEdit):
def __init__(self,parent):
QTextEdit.__init__(self)
self.setMouseTracking(True)
class MyTestxEdit(QWidget):
def __init__(self):
QWidget.__init__(self)
self.__qTextEdit=MyTestxEdit1(self)
self.__qHBoxLayout=QHBoxLayout()
self.setLayout(self.__qHBoxLayout)
self.__qHBoxLayout.addWidget(self.__qTextEdit)
self.__qTextEdit.installEventFilter(self)
def eventFilter(self,target,event):
print "eventFilter "+str(event.type())
if(event.type()==QEvent.MouseButtonPress):
print "Mouse was presssed "+str(event.type())
self.mousePressEvent(event)
return True
return False

mainWindow.resize(s)
testxEdit=MyTestxEdit()
mainWindow.setCentralWidget(testxEdit)
mainWindow.show()
res = app.exec_()
sys.exit(res)
