Signals & Slots question

[JPNaude]

Hi

I'm struggling to get certain signal and slot combinations to work. I've used signals and slots successfully for a while now but at the moment I'm stuck with drag & drop operations. I want to be able to drag from a QTableView object and I connect the necessary signals in the way shown below:

connect(tableViewWorkspace,SIGNAL(mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *event)),this,SLOT(mousePressEventWorkspace(QMouseEvent *event)));

connect(tableViewWorkspace,SIGNAL(mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *event)),this,SLOT(mousePressEventWorkspace(QMouseEvent *event)));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

This does not seems to work and when I click in the table view it never enters the mousePressEventWorkspace function. Do I do something wrong? I know that mousePressEvent is a function of the QAbstractItemView class, but shouldn't it be called for the tableView object as well? Do I perhaps need some type of pointer along with some object casting?

Thanks
Jaco
