# KPushButton Class Reference

`from PyKDE4.kdeui import *`

Inherits: QPushButton → QAbstractButton → QWidget → QObject

## Detailed Description

A QPushButton with drag-support and KGuiItem support

This is nothing but a QPushButton with drag-support and KGuiItem support. You must call #setDragEnabled (true) and override the virtual method dragObject() to specify the QDragObject to be used.

## Signal Documentation

authorized | ( | KAuth.Action | action
| ) |  |  |

Signal emitted when the button is triggered and authorized

If the button needs authorization, whenever the user triggers it, the authorization process automatically begins. If it succeeds, this signal is emitted. The KAuth.Action object is provided for convenience if you have multiple Action objects, but of course it's always the same set with setAuthAction().

WARNING: If your button needs authorization you should connect eventual slots processing stuff to this signal, and NOT clicked. Clicked will be emitted even if the user has not been authorized

Parameters:

  | action | The object set with setAuthAction()

Signal syntax:
  `QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("authorized(KAuth::Action*)"), target_slot)`
