Public Member Functions
	QHelpEvent (Type type, const QPoint &pos, const QPoint &globalPos)
	Constructs a help event with the given type corresponding to the widget-relative position specified by pos and the global position specified by globalPos.

int	x () const
	Same as pos().x().

int	y () const
	Same as pos().y().

int	globalX () const
	Same as globalPos().x().

int	globalY () const
	Same as globalPos().y().

const QPoint &	pos () const
	Returns the mouse cursor position when the event was generated, relative to the widget to which the event is dispatched.

const QPoint &	globalPos () const
	Returns the mouse cursor position when the event was generated in global coordinates.

Public Member Functions inherited from QEvent
	QEvent (Type type)
	Constructs an event object of type type.

virtual	~QEvent ()
	Destroys the event.

Type	type () const
	Returns the event type.

bool	spontaneous () const
	Returns `true` if the event originated outside the application (a system event); otherwise returns `false`.

virtual void	setAccepted (bool accepted)

bool	isAccepted () const

void	accept ()
	Sets the accept flag of the event object, the equivalent of calling setAccepted(true).

void	ignore ()
	Clears the accept flag parameter of the event object, the equivalent of calling setAccepted(false).

bool	isInputEvent () const noexcept

bool	isPointerEvent () const noexcept

bool	isSinglePointEvent () const noexcept

virtual QEvent *	clone () const
	Creates and returns an identical copy of this event.
