<p>The <tt>Window</tt> class's constructors begins by creating a button.</p>

<p>Two states, <tt>s1</tt> and <tt>s2</tt>, are created; upon entry they will assign "Outside" and "Inside" to the button's text, respectively.</p>

<p>Next, the state <tt>s3</tt> is created. <tt>s3</tt> will be entered when the button receives an event of type <a href="qevent.html#Type-enum">QEvent::MouseButtonPress</a> and the state machine is in state <tt>s2</tt>.

<p>Finally, the states are added to the machine as top-level states, the initial state is set to be <tt>s1</tt> ("Outside"), and the machine is started.</p>
<pre class="cpp"> <span class="type">int</span> main(<span class="type">int</span> argc<span class="operator">,</span> <span class="type">char</span> <span class="operator">*</span><span class="operator">*</span>argv)
