How can I make a QLabel clickable?
I am trying to make an About.. dialog with a clickable image without buttons.

reimplement mousePressEvent in QLabel class and emit your custom signal

you have 2 options.
1. Use QPushButton and make them flat, this will give you same feeling like a label is being clicked.
2. Use event filter on label, and react on mousepress event. In this method, you dont need to subclass the QLabel.

Thanks for the advice.
I replaced the QLabel with a big flat QPushButton and used setIcon(pixmap).
I also added the clicked() signal and accept() slot for it in the .ui.
It was the simplest way, works perfectly.

Again, thanks.
