Add a click on QLineEdit

Question

I am working on set a click() event to QLineEdit, I already successfully did it. But I want to go back to Mainwindow when the QLine Edit is clicked because I need the data i

Answer 1

I use the following to connect any method as the callback for a click event:

class ClickableLineEdit(QLineEdit):
    clicked = pyqtSignal() # signal when the text entry is left clicked

    def mousePressEvent(self, event):
        if event.button() == Qt.LeftButton: self.clicked.emit()
        else: super().mousePressEvent(event)

To use:

textbox = ClickableLineEdit('Default text')
textbox.clicked.connect(someMethod)

Specifically for the op:

self.tc = ClickableLineEdit(self.field[con.ConfigFields.VALUE])
self.tc.clicked.connect(self.mouseseleted)
