Easiest way to detect right mousebutton?

[Teuniz]

From the documentation:

void QListWidget::itemPressed ( QListWidgetItem * item ) [signal]

This signal is emitted with the specified item when a mouse button is pressed on an item in the widget.

See also itemClicked() and itemDoubleClicked().

I want to detect if the right mousebutton is pressed on a QListWidgetItem (in a QListWidget). How do I do this without catching all the mouse-events?

You can try using QWidget::customContextMenuRequested( const QPoint& ) and detect what item( if any ) is at that position.

This is always for the right mouse button.

Subclass the QListWidget and redefine the QAbstractItemView::mousePressEvent() function. The QMouseEvent pointer that is passed can give you information about the button that was pressed and the position of the mouse-cursor (which you can translate to the right item).

About marcel's idea: I think that the context-menu can be called in more than one way (some keyboards have a key for it, for example). So you might want to go with the subclassing method.

But if a context menu key is pressed mousePressEvent won't work.
But the function I proposed will, since Qt will detect the key ( at least I assume it will ). But the correct way would be top detect it.

What do you want to use that knowledge for?

Exactly my point.

Teuniz did not say he wanted to intercept the context-menu. He wanted to intercept the right mouse button. Or so he said in his post.

I made a small hobbyproject: http://www.teuniz.net/q3spy/
As you can see, there is a list of servers. When you dubbelclick with the
left mousebutton, the (external) game will start. Now I want to make it
possible to view/edit the properties of a server by rightclicking on a server
instead of navigating via the menu.

You have to reimplement mouseReleaseEvent then.
