Detailed Description#

__init__(type, m_dev[, modifiers=Qt.NoModifier])#

Parameters:

type – Type
m_dev – QInputDevice
modifiers – Combination of KeyboardModifier

__init__(arg__1)

Parameters:: arg__1 – QInputEvent

device()#

Return type:: QInputDevice

Returns the source device that generated the original event.

In case of a synthesized event, for example a mouse event that was generated from a touch event, device() continues to return the touchscreen device, so that you can tell that it did not come from an actual mouse. Thus mouseEvent.source()->type() != QInputDevice::DeviceType::Mouse is one possible replacement for the Qt 5 expression mouseEvent.source() == Qt::MouseEventSynthesizedByQt.

deviceType()#

Return type:: DeviceType

Returns the type of device that generated the event.

modifiers()#

Return type:: Combination of KeyboardModifier

Returns the keyboard modifier flags that existed immediately before the event occurred.

keyboardModifiers()

setModifiers(modifiers)#

Parameters:: modifiers – Combination of KeyboardModifier

setTimestamp(timestamp)#

Parameters:: timestamp – int

timestamp()#

Return type:: int

Returns the window system’s timestamp for this event. It will normally be in milliseconds since some arbitrary point in time, such as the time when the system was started.
