<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The QEvent class is the base class of all event classes. 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>

<h2>Property Documentation</h2>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="accepted-prop"></a>accepted : bool</h3>
<p>the accept flag of the event object</p>
<p>Setting the accept parameter indicates that the event receiver wants the event. Unwanted events might be propagated to the parent widget. By default, isAccepted() is set to true, but don't rely on this as subclasses may choose to clear it in their constructor.</p>
<p>For convenience, the accept flag can also be set with <a href="qevent.html#accept">accept</a>(), and cleared with <a href="qevent.html#ignore">ignore</a>().</p>
<p>Access functions:</p>
<ul>
<li><div class="fn"/><b>bool isAccepted () const</b></li>
<li><div class="fn"/><b>void setAccepted ( bool <i>accepted</i> )</b></li>
