Add mouse event to QTextEdit

[Nightmaster]

Hi All

I have the following code where I am testing when a mouse is clicked inside a QTextEdit.

This code worked when I used QPushButton but in the application where this will be used it will be a QTextEdit.
The second print statement " I have been clicked" never gets executed, what am i doing wrong please?

class firstScreen(QWidget): 
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__() 

        
        self.resize(500,500)
        self.setWindowTitle("Mouse button event test")


        self.text_edit = QtWidgets.QTextEdit(self)  
        self.text_edit.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(200, 200, 150, 80))  
        self.text_editsetText("Click me")  
        self.text_editinstallEventFilter(self)





    def eventFilter(self, QObject , QEvent ):


            if QObject == self.register:
                print("enter")

                if QEvent.type() == QEvent.MouseButtonPress:
                    mousey_event = QtGui.QMouseEvent(QEvent)
                    

                    #
                    print("i have been clicked" , mousey_event.button())

                else:
                    
            return super(firstScreen, self).eventFilter(QObject, QEvent)

Hi,

Please provide a full runnable testing script. This one contains invalid code.
