You should call QKeyEvent::ignore() if the key press or release event is not handled by your widget. A key event is propagated up the parent widget chain until a widget accepts it with QKeyEvent::accept() or an event filter consumes it. Key events for multi media keys are ignored by default. You should call QKeyEvent::accept() if your widget handles those events. +.PP +The QWidget::setEnable() function can be used to enable or disable mouse and keyboard events for a widget. +.PP +The event handlers QWidget::keyPressEvent() and QWidget::keyReleaseEvent() receive key events. +.PP +See also QFocusEvent, QWidget::grabKeyboard(), and Event Classes. +.SH MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION +.SH "QKeyEvent::QKeyEvent ( Type type, int key, int ascii, int state, const QString & text = QString::null, bool autorep = FALSE, ushort count = 1 )" +Constructs a key event object. +.PP +The \fItype\fR parameter must be QEvent::KeyPress or QEvent::KeyRelease. If \fIkey\fR is 0 the event is not a result of a known key (e.g. it may be the result of a compose sequence or keyboard macro). \fIascii\fR is the ASCII code of the key that was pressed or released. \fIstate\fR holds the keyboard modifiers. \fItext\fR is the Unicode text that the key generated. If \fIautorep\fR is TRUE, isAutoRepeat() will be TRUE. \fIcount\fR is the number of single keys. +.PP +The accept flag is set to TRUE. +.SH "void QKeyEvent::accept ()" +Sets the accept flag of the key event object. +.PP +Setting the accept parameter indicates that the receiver of the event wants the key event. Unwanted key events are sent to the parent widget. +.PP +The accept flag is set by default. +.PP +See also ignore(). +.SH "int QKeyEvent::ascii () const" +Returns the ASCII code of the key that was pressed or released. We recommend using text() instead. +.PP +See also text(). +.PP +Example: picture/picture.cpp. +.SH "int QKeyEvent::count () const" +Returns the number of single keys for this event. If text() is not empty, this is simply the length of the string. +.PP +See also QWidget::setKeyCompression(). +.SH "void QKeyEvent::ignore ()" +Clears the accept flag parameter of the key event object. +.PP +Clearing the accept parameter indicates that the event receiver does not want the key event. Unwanted key events are sent to the parent widget. +.PP +The accept flag is set by default. +.PP +See also accept(). +.SH "bool QKeyEvent::isAccepted () const" +Returns TRUE if the receiver of the event wants to keep the key; otherwise returns FALSE +.SH "bool QKeyEvent::isAutoRepeat () const" +Returns TRUE if this event comes from an auto-repeating key and FALSE if it comes from an initial key press. +.PP +Note that if the event is a multiple-key compressed event that is partly due to auto-repeat, this function could return either TRUE or FALSE indeterminately. +.SH "int QKeyEvent::key () const" +Returns the code of the key that was pressed or released. +.PP +See Qt::Key for the list of keyboard codes. These codes are independent of the underlying window system. +.PP +A value of either 0 or Key_unknown means that the event is not the result of a known key (e.g. it may be the result of a compose sequence or a keyboard macro, or due to key event compression). +.PP +See also QWidget::setKeyCompression(). +.PP +Example: fileiconview/qfileiconview.cpp. +.SH "ButtonState QKeyEvent::state () const" +Returns the keyboard modifier flags that existed immediately before the event occurred. +.PP +The returned value is ShiftButton, ControlButton, AltButton and MetaButton OR'ed together. +.PP +See also stateAfter(). +.PP +Example: fileiconview/qfileiconview.cpp. +.SH "ButtonState QKeyEvent::stateAfter () const" +Returns the keyboard modifier flags that existed immediately after the event occurred. +.PP +\fBWarning:\fR This function cannot be trusted. +.PP +See also state(). +.SH "QString QKeyEvent::text () const" +Returns the Unicode text that this key generated. The text returned migth be empty, which is the case when pressing or releasing modifying keys as Shift, Control, Alt and Meta. In these cases key() will contain a valid value. +.PP +See also QWidget::setKeyCompression(). + +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR http://doc.trolltech.com/qkeyevent.html +.BR http://www.trolltech.com/faq/tech.html +.SH COPYRIGHT +Copyright 1992-2007 Trolltech ASA, http://www.trolltech.com.
