Hi all,

I'm trying to override mousePressEvent in a subclass of QTextView so that 
I can add the ability to click on the whole widget, but it doesn't seem to 
work.

Here is part of the code:

class ClickTextView : public QTextView {
	Q_OBJECT

protected:
	void mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *me) {
        	emit(clicked(me));
	}

signals:
        void clicked(QMouseEvent *);

};

It all compiles fine, but when I connect the signal to a slot that should
handle it all, nothing happens when I click on the widget. There's no problem
with the slot handling code - I tried it with another widget and it worked.

What am I doing wrong?

Cheers,

Paul
