Question

i wanna inherit QLabel to add there click event processing.
I’m trying this code:

class NewLabel(QtGui.QLabel):
    def __init__(self, parent):
        QtGui.QLabel.__init__(self, parent)

    def clickEvent(self, event):
        print 'Label clicked!'

But after clicking I have no line ‘Label clicked!’

EDIT:

Okay, now I’m using not ‘clickEvent’ but ‘mousePressEvent’. And I still have a question. How can i know what exactly label was clicked? For example, i have 2 edit box and 2 labels. Labels content are pixmaps. So there aren’t any text in labels, so i can’t discern difference between labels. How can i do that?

EDIT2:
I made this code:

class NewLabel(QtGui.QLabel):
    def __init__(self, firstLabel):
        QtGui.QLabel.__init__(self, firstLabel)

    def mousePressEvent(self, event):
        print 'Clicked'
        #myLabel = self.sender()  # None =)
        self.emit(QtCore.SIGNAL('clicked()'), "Label pressed")

In another class:

self.FirstLang = NewLabel(Form)
QtCore.QObject.connect(self.FirstLang, QtCore.SIGNAL('clicked()'), self.labelPressed)

Slot in the same class:

def labelPressed(self):
    print 'in labelPressed'
    print self.sender()

But there isn’t sender object in self. What i did wrong?

Answering your second question, I’ll continue based on @gnud example:

• subclass QLabel, override mouseReleaseEvent and add a signal to the class, let’s call it clicked.
• check which button was clicked in mouseReleaseEvent, if it’s the left one emit the clicked signal.
• connect a slot to your labels clicked signal and use sender() inside to know which QLabel was clicked.
