console.log("Action clicked");
});

Methods

addEventListener

▸ addEventListener<SignalType>(signalType: SignalType, callback: Signals[SignalType]): void

Inherited from EventWidget.addEventListener

Type parameters:

▪ SignalType: keyof QActionSignals

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
signalType	SignalType	SignalType is a signal from the widgets signals interface.
callback	Signals[SignalType]	Corresponding callback for the signal as mentioned in the widget's signal interface

Returns: void

void

For example in the case of QPushButton:

const button = new QPushButton();
button.addEventListener('clicked',(checked)=>console.log("clicked"));
// here clicked is a value from QPushButtonSignals interface
