Event
objects contain event parameters.</p>
<p>Qt's main event loop (<a href="qcoreapplication.html#exec">QCoreApplication.exec</a>()) fetches
native window system events from the event queue, translates them
into QEvents, and sends the translated events to <a href="qobject.html">QObject</a>s.</p>
<p>In general, events come from the underlying window system
(<a href="qevent.html#spontaneous">spontaneous</a>() returns true),
but it is also possible to manually send events using <a href="qcoreapplication.html#sendEvent">QCoreApplication.sendEvent</a>()
and <a href="qcoreapplication.html#postEvent">QCoreApplication.postEvent</a>()
(<a href="qevent.html#spontaneous">spontaneous</a>() returns
false).</p>
<p><a href="qtwebkit-bridge.html#qobjects">QObjects</a> receive
events by having their <a href="qobject.html#event">QObject.event</a>() function called. The
function can be reimplemented in subclasses to customize event
handling and add additional event types; <a href="qwidget.html#event">QWidget.event</a>() is a notable example. By
default, events are dispatched to event handlers like <a href="qobject.html#timerEvent">QObject.timerEvent</a>() and <a href="qwidget.html#mouseMoveEvent">QWidget.mouseMoveEvent</a>().
<a href="qobject.html#installEventFilter">QObject.installEventFilter</a>()
allows an object to intercept events destined for another
object.</p>
<p>The basic QEvent contains only an event type parameter and an
"accept" flag. The accept flag set with <a href="qevent.html#accept">accept</a>(), and cleared with <a href="qevent.html#ignore">ignore</a>(). It is set by default, but don't
rely on this as subclasses may choose to clear it in their
constructor.</p>
<p>Subclasses of QEvent contain additional parameters that describe
the particular event.</p>
<hr /><h2>Type Documentation</h2><h3 class="fn"><a name="Type-enum" />QEvent.Type</h3><p>This enum type defines the valid event types in Qt. The event
types and the specialized classes for each type are as follows:</p>

<p>For convenience, you can use the <a href="qevent.html#registerEventType">registerEventType</a>() function to
register and reserve a custom event type for your application.
Doing so will allow you to avoid accidentally re-using a custom
event type already in use elsewhere in your application.</p>
<hr /><h2>Method Documentation</h2><h3 class="fn"><a name="QEvent" />QEvent.__init__ (<i>self</i>, <a href="qevent.html#Type-enum">Type</a> <i>type</i>)</h3><p>Contructs an event object of type <i>type</i>.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="ignore" />QEvent.ignore (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Clears the accept flag parameter of the event object, the

provided will be used if it is available, otherwise it will return
a value between <a href="qevent.html#Type-enum">QEvent.User</a>
