For close event:

Reimplement closeEvent method in your MainWindow class. Link

For window activation and deactivation events try following:

bool MainWindow::event(QEvent * e) // overloading event(QEvent*) method of QMainWindow 
{
    switch(e->type())
    {
        // ...

        case QEvent::WindowActivate :
            // gained focus
            break ;

        case QEvent::WindowDeactivate :
            // lost focus
            break ;
        // ...
    } ;
    return QMainWindow::event(e) ;
}
