-.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.
-.PP
-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();
-.br
- }
-.br
- }

-.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.
-.PP
-See also data().
