Creating click events for label

[InterFiction]

Can someone point me in the right direction of making a click-able label? I'm working with some code I found on a site, but I'm not converting it right from key event to most events...

class ClickLabel : public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT
 
 
protected:
    bool eventFilter(QObject *obj, QEvent *event);
};
 
bool ClickLabel::eventFilter(QObject *obj, QEvent *event)
{
    if (event->type() == QEvent::MouseButtonPress) {
        QMouseEvent *MouseEvent = static_cast<QMouseEvent *>(event);
        qDebug("MouseClicked", MouseEvent->clicked());
        return true;
    } else {
        // standard event processing
        return QObject::eventFilter(obj, event);
    }
}

class ClickLabel : public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT


protected:
    bool eventFilter(QObject *obj, QEvent *event);
};

bool ClickLabel::eventFilter(QObject *obj, QEvent *event)
{
    if (event->type() == QEvent::MouseButtonPress) {
        QMouseEvent *MouseEvent = static_cast<QMouseEvent *>(event);
        qDebug("MouseClicked", MouseEvent->clicked());
        return true;
    } else {
        // standard event processing
        return QObject::eventFilter(obj, event);
    }
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

errors

error: invalid static_cast from type 'QEvent*' to type 'QMouseEvent*'

error: invalid use of incomplete type 'struct QMouseEvent'

error: forward declaration of 'struct QMouseEvent'

#include <QMouseEvent>

Is it easy to inherit the functionality of the QLabel class into the new class, so that I can easily use the same features like set text, and stuff of that nature?

Yes, inherit from QLabel and not QObject.
