Qt, click signal in client area

I want to create a program like MS Paint using the Qt Framework and I was wondering how to connect the "clicked" signal, that is activated every time the user click the program window in the client area. Something like WM_LBUTTONDOWN in Win32 API.

There is no clicked() signal in QWidget.

You have to subclass QWidget and reimplement mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *event); which will give you the coordinates (in the widget's coordinate system) via event->pos(); or event->x(); and event->y(); after including the header: #include <QMouseEvent>.
