<![CDATA[[SOLVED] Make QWidget Child clickable]]>Hi, its the following way correct as to enable your own widget
to be clickable like a button is. (connectable from outside)

override

protected: virtual void mouseReleaseEvent ( QMouseEvent * event );

add signal

signals: void mouseReleased();

in mouseReleaseEvent

emit mouseReleased();

and then in main
connect ( ui->NotiMachineStatus, SIGNAL ( mouseReleased() ), this, SLOT ( StatusClicked() ) )

Or is there a faster way ?

Well you kinda sold me the pushbutton idea as I need 4 of them and they all can be clicked.
free signals I and assume it has paint stages so I could make a down effect.

but I needed multiple icons and it is more of a status area widget than a button

How about QStatusBar with flat QPushButtons added as permanent widgets then?

Ok. well it is actually a bit duck like,
but I needed multiple icons and it is more of a status area widget
than a button. But I see the quacks.

Thank you

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck....
You can make it flat if you don't want it to seem too conspicuous.
