Capture QLineEdit mousePressevent for controls in a .ui file

[vdboor]

My application uses .ui files for it's controls. However, I'd like to capture the mousePressEvent for a QLineEdit that's in the UI file. What is the sane way to do this?
So far it seams I need to subclass the QLineEdit, but this means I can't add it to the .UI file anymore (AFAIK).

You can install an event filter on the line edit widget and therefore you don't have to subclass it. Another way is to subclass and then use the "promote to a custom widget" option in the designer. The option can be found in the line edit's context menu.
