I cannot get QGraphicsRectItem to change colour on mousedoubleclickevent

Hi, the simples would be to pass the GatewayWidget to myshape during construction, e.g.

void GatewayWidget::receivedTitlesEx(...)
    {
    myshape* shape1 = new myshape(text, this);
    ...
    }

void GatewayWidget::receivedTitlesEx(...)
    {
    myshape* shape1 = new myshape(text, this);
    ...
    }

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and store the pointer in a member.

EDIT: or emit a signal instead of calling the function directly
