Member Function Documentation

device()

QInputDevice * QInputEvent::device ( ) const

inline

Since

6.0

Returns the source device that generated the original event.

In case of a synthesized event, for example a mouse event that was generated from a touch event, device() continues to return the touchscreen device, so that you can tell that it did not come from an actual mouse. Thus {mouseEvent.source()->type() != QInputDevice::DeviceType::Mouse} is one possible replacement for the Qt 5 expression {mouseEvent.source() == Qt::MouseEventSynthesizedByQt}.
