    Hi,
    I am an artist and not a programmer. I am creating an interface in QT which connects with an application and executes some commands in there. So far I have figured out how to execute basic commands and python commands, I wish to know how can I have two different commands for press and release of a button in an ui in QT designer.

    So on press the button runs a command in the application
    and on release of the same button another command.

    Sorry if this is too basic, I did google and try to find an answer but am a bit stuck.

    Thanks a lot.

      @mnkyshield Look at all members of QPushButton and you will see that there is a signal for pressed and one for release, so connect those to your methods.

        They are two different 'signals' emitted by the QPushButton class
        so
        Connect(pushButton, SIGNAL(pressed()), this, SLOT(pushButtonPressSlot()))
        and
        Connect(pushButton, SIGNAL(released()), this, SLOT(pushButtonReleaseSlot()))
