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>QObjects 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>
<p>See also <a href="qobject.html#event">QObject.event</a>(), <a href="qobject.html#installEventFilter">QObject.installEventFilter</a>(), <a href="qwidget.html#event">QWidget.event</a>(), <a href="qcoreapplication.html#sendEvent">QCoreApplication.sendEvent</a>(), <a href="qcoreapplication.html#postEvent">QCoreApplication.postEvent</a>(), and <a href="qcoreapplication.html#processEvents">QCoreApplication.processEvents</a>().</p>
