The event filter is 100% the correct solution but the quick and dirty one could be:

Maybe. Promoting to a custom widget is a possibility.

but how would i implement the QMouseEvent into the eventFilter thing?

Exactly like in the code you showed: you check the source, then check the event type and react to it however you like. An event filter just intercepts the events before they reach the original destination. Look up QMouseEvent, QEvent and especially its type property and eventFilter() together with installEventFilter, the latter you'd typically do after the call to setupUi.

thanks for that! im a bit slow! but your explanation helped me actually! :) got it working fine now!
