.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The QCustomEvent class provides support for custom events.
|
|
.PP
|
|
QCustomEvent is a generic event class for user-defined events. User defined events can be sent to widgets or other QObject instances using QApplication::postEvent() or QApplication::sendEvent(). Subclasses of QObject can easily receive custom events by implementing the QObject::customEvent() event handler function.
|
|
.PP
|
|
QCustomEvent objects should be created with a type ID that uniquely identifies the event type. To avoid clashes with the Qt-defined events types, the value should be at least as large as the value of the "User" entry in the QEvent::Type enum.
|
|
.PP
|
|
QCustomEvent contains a generic void* data member that may be used for transferring event-specific data to the receiver. Note that since events are normally delivered asynchronously, the data pointer, if used, must remain valid until the event has been received and processed.
|
|
.PP
|
|
QCustomEvent can be used as-is for simple user-defined event types, but normally you will want to make a subclass of it for your event types. In a subclass, you can add data members that are suitable for your event type.

Example:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.nf
|
|
.br
|
|
class ColorChangeEvent : public QCustomEvent
|
|
.br
|
|
{
|
|
.br
|
|
public:
|
|
.br
|
|
ColorChangeEvent( QColor color )
|
|
.br
|
|
: QCustomEvent( 65432 ), c( color ) {}
|
|
.br
|
|
QColor color() const { return c; }
|
|
.br
|
|
private:
|
|
.br
|
|
QColor c;
|
|
.br
|
|
};
|
|
.br
|
|
.br
|
|
// To send an event of this custom event type:
|
|
.br
|
|
.br
|
|
ColorChangeEvent* ce = new ColorChangeEvent( blue );
|
|
.br
|
|
QApplication::postEvent( receiver, ce ); // Qt will delete it when done
|
|
.br
|
|
.br
|
|
// To receive an event of this custom event type:
|
|
.br
|
|
.br
|
|
void MyWidget::customEvent( QCustomEvent * e )
|
|
.br
|
|
{
|
|
.br
|
|
if ( e->type() == 65432 ) { // It must be a ColorChangeEvent
|
|
.br
|
|
ColorChangeEvent* ce = (ColorChangeEvent*)e;
|
|
.br
|
|
newColor = ce->color();

.SH MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION
|
|
.SH "QCustomEvent::QCustomEvent ( int type )"
|
|
Constructs a custom event object with event type \fItype\fR. The value of \fItype\fR must be at least as large as QEvent::User. The data pointer is set to 0.
|
|
.SH "QCustomEvent::QCustomEvent ( Type type, void * data )"
|
|
Constructs a custom event object with the event type \fItype\fR and a pointer to \fIdata\fR. (Note that any int value may safely be cast to QEvent::Type).
|
|
.SH "void * QCustomEvent::data () const"
|
|
Returns a pointer to the generic event data.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also setData().
|
|
.SH "void QCustomEvent::setData ( void * data )"
|
|
Sets the generic data pointer to \fIdata\fR.
