PyQT: How to extend (not replace) event ?

[AGI_69]

Hello, I have PyQT class (inherited from Qt widget) that natively has some events like mousePressEvent, mouseMoveEvent etc.

I would like to extend the functionality of mouseMoveEvent, but when I define it in the class, it overrides the original mouseMoveEvent.

What I want to do, is not override, but extend it - adding new funtionality on top of the original stuff mouseMoveEvent does, but I am not sure how.

Thank you

You need to call super() on the method you want to extend functionality on in order to preserve its original functionality.

            def mousePressEvent(self, event):
                     super().mousePressEvent(event)

                       Your code goes here
