[SOLVED] Emit a signal when a subwindow is clicked

[rizoritis]

Hello,

I have a bunch of widgets (mini screens) that I put into subwindows of an mdiarea. I would like to find a way to emit a signal when one of the subwindows are clicked or double clicked. The click should have an effect anywhere within the subwindow. I figured I could use QtDesigner and right click the widget main area and just us the Go to Slot approach, but there was no clicked() signal so that wont work. Any ideas?

Hi,

You have to possibilities:

add an event filter for your mini screens and watch for the QMouseEvent

subclass your mini-screens widget, add a clicked signal, reimplement the event function and emit the signal from there.

Hope it helps

Excellent. I went with the eventFilter option and it worked perfectly. Thanks!
