Subclassing QLabel to show native 'Mouse Hover Button indicator'

Question

I have a QLabel with a \'StyledPanel, raised\' frame.
It is clickable, by subclassing QLabel;

class InteractiveLabel(QtGui.QLabel):
    def __init__(self

@Lol4t0, i have some improvements for your method...

This is my header file:

#ifndef QLABELEDPUSHBUTTON_H
#define QLABELEDPUSHBUTTON_H

#include 

class QLabel;

class QLabeledPushButton : public QPushButton
{
    Q_OBJECT

    QLabel * m_label;

public:
    QLabeledPushButton(QWidget * parent = 0);

    QString text() const;
    void setText(const QString & text);

protected:
    void resizeEvent(QResizeEvent * event);
};

#endif // QLABELEDPUSHBUTTON_H

And there is my cpp file:

#include 
#include 
#include 
#include "QLabeledPushButton.h"

QLabeledPushButton::QLabeledPushButton(QWidget * parent)
    : QPushButton(parent)
    , m_label(new QLabel(this))
{
    m_label->setWordWrap(true);
    m_label->setMouseTracking(false);
    m_label->setAlignment(Qt::AlignCenter);
    m_label->setTextInteractionFlags(Qt::NoTextInteraction);
    m_label->setGeometry(QRect(4, 4, width()-8, height()-8));
}

QString QLabeledPushButton::text() const
{
    return m_label->text();
}

void QLabeledPushButton::setText(const QString & text)
{
    m_label->setText(text);
}

void QLabeledPushButton::resizeEvent(QResizeEvent * event)
{
    if (width()-8 < m_label->sizeHint().width())
        setMinimumWidth(event->oldSize().width());
    if (height()-8 < m_label->sizeHint().height())
        setMinimumHeight(event->oldSize().height());

    m_label->setGeometry(QRect(4, 4, width()-8, height()-8));
}

So text on QLabel is always visible. QPushButton can't be too small to hide part of text. I think this way is more comfortable to use...
