How to define a mousePressEvent function for a QTextEdit widget without subclassing it?
0
class widget(QWidget):
...
self.edit=QTextEdit()
def mousePressEvent(self, event):
if event.button()==Qt.LeftButton:
print('test')
self.edit.mousePressEvent(event)
I have tried that but it does not work. It works for the parent widget. Is there anyway I can do it without subclassing the QTextEdit?

In this case you must use an eventFilter in addition to the classes that inherit from QAbstractScrollArea as QTextEdit you must use the viewport():
from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtWidgets
class Widget(QtWidgets.QWidget):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(Widget, self).__init__(parent)
self.edit = QtWidgets.QTextEdit()
btn = QtWidgets.QPushButton()
le = QtWidgets.QLineEdit()
lay = QtWidgets.QVBoxLayout(self)
for w in (self.edit, btn, le):
lay.addWidget(w)
self.edit.viewport().installEventFilter(self)
def eventFilter(self, obj, event):
if obj is self.edit.viewport() and event.type() == QtCore.QEvent.MouseButtonPress:
if event.button() == QtCore.Qt.LeftButton:
print('test')
return super(Widget, self).eventFilter(obj, event)
if __name__ == '__main__':
import sys
app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
w = Widget()
w.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())

In this case you must use an eventFilter in addition to the classes that inherit from QAbstractScrollArea as QTextEdit you must use the viewport():
from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtWidgets
class Widget(QtWidgets.QWidget):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(Widget, self).__init__(parent)
self.edit = QtWidgets.QTextEdit()
btn = QtWidgets.QPushButton()
le = QtWidgets.QLineEdit()
lay = QtWidgets.QVBoxLayout(self)
for w in (self.edit, btn, le):
lay.addWidget(w)
self.edit.viewport().installEventFilter(self)
def eventFilter(self, obj, event):
if obj is self.edit.viewport() and event.type() == QtCore.QEvent.MouseButtonPress:
if event.button() == QtCore.Qt.LeftButton:
print('test')
return super(Widget, self).eventFilter(obj, event)
if __name__ == '__main__':
import sys
app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
w = Widget()
w.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
