The QWidget base is not overfilled with signals compared with other widget-tool (.net VCL). I missed that feature too. You can install a eventfilter to catch all events, but this is no a comfortable reusable way.

I have made my own Widgets by subclassing of nearly all standard QWidgets to enhance its features. In a QLabel subclass you can overwrite the mousePressEvent and the mouseReleaseEvent an make you own signals. Here example code

//=======================================================================
void AdvLabel::mouseReleaseEvent(QMouseEvent * event)
//=======================================================================
{
    if (!this->rect().contains(event->pos()))
    {
        QLabel::mouseReleaseEvent(event);
        return;
    }
    switch(event->button())
    {
        case Qt::LeftButton:   emit clicked(); break;
        case Qt::RightButton:  emit clickedRight(); break;
    }
    QLabel::mouseReleaseEvent(event);
 }

Hi,

Do you want to be able to click on it like a link or do you want a real button ? If the later, why not use a button ?
