Detailed Description

\inmodule QtGui

The QMouseEvent class contains parameters that describe a mouse event.

Mouse events occur when a mouse button is pressed or released inside a widget, or when the mouse cursor is moved.

Mouse move events will occur only when a mouse button is pressed down, unless mouse tracking has been enabled with QWidget::setMouseTracking().

Qt automatically grabs the mouse when a mouse button is pressed inside a widget; the widget will continue to receive mouse events until the last mouse button is released.

A mouse event contains a special accept flag that indicates whether the receiver wants the event. You should call ignore() if the mouse event is not handled by your widget. A mouse event is propagated up the parent widget chain until a widget accepts it with accept(), or an event filter consumes it.

Note
If a mouse event is propagated to a \l{QWidget}{widget} for which Qt::WA_NoMousePropagation has been set, that mouse event will not be propagated further up the parent widget chain.

The state of the keyboard modifier keys can be found by calling the \l{QInputEvent::modifiers()}{modifiers()} function, inherited from QInputEvent.

The position() function gives the cursor position relative to the widget or item that receives the mouse event. If you move the widget as a result of the mouse event, use the global position returned by globalPosition() to avoid a shaking motion.

The QWidget::setEnabled() function can be used to enable or disable mouse and keyboard events for a widget.

Reimplement the QWidget event handlers, QWidget::mousePressEvent(), QWidget::mouseReleaseEvent(), QWidget::mouseDoubleClickEvent(), and QWidget::mouseMoveEvent() to receive mouse events in your own widgets.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QMouseEvent() [1/3]

QMouseEvent::QMouseEvent ( Type type,
const QPointF & localPos,
const QPointF & globalPos,
Qt::MouseButton button,
Qt::MouseButtons buttons,
Qt::KeyboardModifiers modifiers,
const QPointingDevice * device = QPointingDevice::primaryPointingDevice() )

Constructs a mouse event object originating from device.

The type parameter must be QEvent::MouseButtonPress, QEvent::MouseButtonRelease, QEvent::MouseButtonDblClick, or QEvent::MouseMove.

The localPos is the mouse cursor's position relative to the receiving widget or item. The cursor's position in screen coordinates is specified by globalPos. The window position is set to the same value as localPos. The button that caused the event is given as a value from the \l Qt::MouseButton enum. If the event type is \l MouseMove, the appropriate button for this event is Qt::NoButton. buttons is the state of all buttons at the time of the event, modifiers the state of all keyboard modifiers.

Member Function Documentation

◆ flags()

Qt::MouseEventFlags QMouseEvent::flags ( ) const
Since
5.3

Returns the mouse event flags.

The mouse event flags provide additional information about a mouse event.

Qt::MouseEventFlag
QGraphicsSceneMouseEvent::flags()

References QSinglePointEvent::m_doubleClick, Qt::MouseEventCreatedDoubleClick, and Qt::NoMouseEventFlag.

◆ pos()

QPoint QMouseEvent::pos ( ) const
inline
Deprecated
[6.0] Use position() instead.

Returns the position of the mouse cursor, relative to the widget that received the event.

If you move the widget as a result of the mouse event, use the global position returned by globalPos() to avoid a shaking motion.

◆ source()

Qt::MouseEventSource QMouseEvent::source ( ) const
Since
5.3
Deprecated
[6.0] Use pointingDevice() instead.

Returns information about the mouse event source.

The mouse event source can be used to distinguish between genuine and artificial mouse events. The latter are events that are synthesized from touch events by the operating system or Qt itself. This enum tells you from where it was synthesized; but often it's more useful to know from which device it was synthesized, so try to use pointingDevice() instead.

Note
Many platforms provide no such information. On such platforms \l Qt::MouseEventNotSynthesized is returned always.
See also
Qt::MouseEventSource
QGraphicsSceneMouseEvent::source()
Note
In Qt 5-based code, source() was often used to attempt to distinguish mouse events from an actual mouse vs. those that were synthesized because some legacy QQuickItem or QWidget subclass did not react to a QTouchEvent. However, you could not tell whether it was synthesized from a QTouchEvent or a QTabletEvent, and other information was lost. pointingDevice() tells you the specific device that it came from, so you might check {pointingDevice()->type()} or {pointingDevice()->capabilities()} to decide how to react to this event. But it's even better to react to the original event rather than handling only mouse events.
