What is the difference between Clicked and Pressed in Qt?

Question

Can you give me some help about how to distinguish Clicked and Pressed ? Thank you .. and What does Released means? would you give me a sample ?

Solution 1

• Pressed: event is generated when you push down the mouse button

• Released: event is generated when you release the mouse button (which has been pressed down before)

• Clicked: event is generated when a mouse button Pressed & Released.

With these functions you can create a snap-switch for example:

when you press the button, the light will switch off / the music stop / etc , when you release it, light switches back on / the music starts again etc.

Solution 2

Clicked is a complete click (press and release), released is when you let go of the mouse button and pressed is when you press down on your mouse button.
