[PyQt] How can I capture some mouse events but ignore others?

[Marc Nations]

Hi,
I'm trying to create a custom table which pops up a menu when the user right
clicks. This part works ok. It looks like this:

class Table(QtGui.QTableWidget):
    def __init__(self, parent,  gui):
        QtGui.QTableWidget.__init__(self, parent)
        self.gui = gui

    def mouseReleaseEvent(self, event):
        if event.button() == QtCore.Qt.RightButton:
            self.rightClickMenu(event)


    def rightClickMenu(self,  event):
        pos = event.pos
        self.gui.ui.menuEdit.popup(QtGui.QCursor.pos())


The problem is that the default before of left click is changed, and I can't
reset it. Without the mods the left clicks acts where if a multiple
selection is made then clicking on another table cell de-selects all the
previous items (unless a modifier key is used). With the above method, once
multiple selections are made then it basically goes into <shift> mode and
all previous selections are kept. I can't figure out a way to turn that off.

Is there a way to cherry pick which mouse events you want and ignore the
rest, basically letting them keep their default behavior? Because it looks
like once the function is taken over then the default behaviors are lost.

Thanks,
Marc
