PyQt, click action on Qwidget

Question

Hi

I've this simple problem, I can grab the event of a click on button, but now I need to handle a click over a widget, here is part of the code:

self.widget = QtGui.QWidget(self)
self.widget.setStyleSheet("QWidget { background-color: %s }" % color.name())
self.widget.setGeometry(150, 22, 50, 50)
self.connect(???)

well, what should i put in the ??? to grab a click action over the created widget? thank in advanced

See http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/static/Docs/PyQt4/pyqt4ref.html#connecting-signals-using-keyword-arguments

self.widget.click.connect(self.onWidgetClick)

Answer 2

self.connect(self,QtCore.SIGNAL("clicked"),method_to_call)

Answer 3

Use mousePressEvent instead.

import sys

from PyQt4.QtGui import QWidget, QApplication

class MyWidget(QWidget):
    def mousePressEvent(self, event):
        print "clicked"

app = QApplication(sys.argv)

widget = MyWidget()
widget.show()

app.exec_()
