You are most welcome. in what instances would you want, or need, to do that?
If you’re inheriting from a class that already subclasses those, it’d be useful for when you want to add to the original behavior. Otherwise you’d be replacing it. For example, anyone inheriting from the class you’re just made may want to call that so as to still be able to get the scrubbing functionality. Sometimes you may want to call it because the superclass has implemented something for it. For example, overriding the closeEvent and not calling its superclass would override - and thus block - the GUI from closing. I’m not entirely sure when and why event handlers require this, so I make it a habit out of always calling it for Qt events.
