DESCRIPTION

       The QEvent class is base class of all event classes. Event
       objects contain event parameters.

       The main event loop of Qt (QApplication::exec()) fetches
       native window system events from the event queue,
       translates them into QEvent and sends the translated
       events to QObjects.

       Generally, events come from the underlying window system,
       but it is also possible to manually send events through
       the QApplication class using QApplication::sendEvent() and
       QApplication::postEvent().

       QObject received events by having its QObject::event()

       subclasses to customize event handling and add additional
       event types. QWidget::event() is a notable example. By
       default, events are dispatched to event handlers like
       QObject::timerEvent() and QWidget::mouseMoveEvent().
       QObject::installEventFilter() allows an object to
       intercept events to another object.

       The basic QEvent only contains an event type parameter.
       Subclasses of QEvent contain additional parameters that
       describe the particular event.

       See also QObject::event(), QObject::installEventFilter(),
       QWidget::event(), QApplication::sendEvent(),
       QAppilcation::postEvent() and
       QApplication::processEvents().

QEvent::Type

       This enum type defines the valid event types in Qt. The
       currently defined event types, and the specialized classes
       for each type, are:

       None - not an event

       Timer - regular timer events, QTimerEvent

       MouseButtonPress - mouse press, QMouseEvent

       MouseButtonRelease - mouse release, QMouseEvent

       MouseButtonDblClick - mouse press again, QMouseEvent

       MouseMove - mouse move, QMouseEvent

       KeyPress - key press (including e.g. shift), QKeyEvent

       KeyRelease - key release, QKeyEvent

       FocusIn - widget gains keyboard focus, QFocusEvent

       FocusOut - widget loses keyboard focus, QFocusEvent

       Enter - mouse enters widget's space

       Leave - mouse leaves widget's soace

       Paint - screen update necessary, QPaintEvent

       Move - widget's position changed, QMoveEvent

       Resize - widget's size changed, QResizeEvent


       Hide - widget was removed from screen, QHideEvent

       Close - widget was closed (permanently), QCloseEvent

       Accel - key press in child, for shortcut key handling,
              QKeyEvent

       Wheel - mouse wheel rolled, QWheelEvent

       AccelAvailable - an internal event used by Qt on some
              platforms.

       AccelOverride - key press in child, for overriding
              shortcut key handling, QKeyEvent

       WindowActivate - the window was activated

       WindowDeactivate - the window was deactivated

       CaptionChange - widget's caption changed

       IconChange - widget's icon changed

       ParentFontChange - the font of the parent widget changed.

       ApplicationFontChange - the default application font
              changed.

       ParentPaletteChange - the palette of the parent widget
              changed.

       ApplicationPaletteChange - the default application palette
              changed.

       Clipboard - system clipboard contents have changed

       SockAct - socket activated, used to implement
              QSocketNotifier

       DragEnter - drag-and-drop enters widget, QDragEnterEvent

       DragMove - drag-and-drop in progress, QDragMoveEvent

       DragLeave - drag-and-drop leaves widget, QDragLeaveEvent

       Drop - drag-and-drop is completed, QDropEvent

       DragResponse - an internal event used by Qt on some
              platforms.

       ChildInserted - object gets a child, QChildEvent


       LayoutHint - a widget child has changed layout properties

       ActivateControl - an internal event used by Qt on some
              platforms.

       DeactivateControl - an internal event used by Qt on some
              platforms.

       Quit - reserved

       Create - reserved

       Destroy - reserved

       Reparent - reserved

       Configure - reserved

       ConfigureLayout - reserved

       User - user defined event


MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION
