QDeclarativeItem mouseMoveEvent(QGraphicsSceneMouseEvent *event) not working

I'm trying to catch mouse events in a transparent QDeclarativeItem, wrap it around all the other elements in QML and log information about mouse events in the whole program. mouseMoveEvents(QGraphicsSceneMouseEvent *) however is executed only when mousePressEvent(QGraphicsSceneMouseEvent *) is implemented and mouse button is pressed.

In a QWidget I would sovle this by calling setMouseTracking(true).

How to do this in a QDeclarativeItem?

Solved this by using hoverMoveEvent(QGraphicsSceneHoverEvent *) and setting setAcceptHoverEvents(true). It works the same way as mouseMoveEvent, but is being called when mouse button is not pressed too.
