mousePressEvent - Problems handling right and left mouse buttons together

[weevil]

I have a board widget comprised of a bunch of cell widgets arranged in a grid layout. In the cell class I reimplemented the mouse event functions, but I'm having trouble dealing with clicks on a cell with both the right and left mouse buttons. The cell can recognize when both buttons are pressed, but it receives a prior mousePressEvent with either the right or left mouse button depending on which came first in the multi-button click. I'm not sure if it's possible to avoid this, but I don't want the widget to receive a single mouse button click before the event has both clicks. I also don't want to implement some kind of timer delay that will make my single mouse clicks seem laggy, if I'm expressing that coherently.

Right now my code looks like

void Cell::mousePressEvent( QMouseEvent *event )
{
   Qt::MouseButtons mouseButtons = event->buttons();
   if( mouseButtons == (Qt::LeftButton | Qt::RightButton) )
      { ... }
   else if( mouseButtons == Qt::LeftButton )
      { ... }
   else if( mouseButtons == Qt::RightButton )
      { ... }
}

void Cell::mousePressEvent( QMouseEvent *event )
{
   Qt::MouseButtons mouseButtons = event->buttons();
   if( mouseButtons == (Qt::LeftButton | Qt::RightButton) )
      { ... }
   else if( mouseButtons == Qt::LeftButton )
      { ... }
   else if( mouseButtons == Qt::RightButton )
      { ... }
}
