<p> The TQMouseEvent class contains parameters that describe a mouse event.
<p> Mouse events occur when a mouse button is pressed or released
inside a widget or when the mouse cursor is moved.
<p> Mouse move events will occur only when a mouse button is pressed
down, unless mouse tracking has been enabled with
<a href="tqwidget.html#setMouseTracking">TQWidget::setMouseTracking</a>().
<p> TQt automatically grabs the mouse when a mouse button is pressed
inside a widget; the widget will continue to receive mouse events
until the last mouse button is released.
<p> A mouse event contains a special accept flag that indicates
whether the receiver wants the event. You should call
<a href="#ignore">TQMouseEvent::ignore</a>() if the mouse event is not handled by your
widget. A mouse event is propagated up the parent widget chain
until a widget accepts it with <a href="#accept">TQMouseEvent::accept</a>() or an event
filter consumes it.
<p> The functions <a href="#pos">pos</a>(), <a href="#x">x</a>() and <a href="#y">y</a>() give the cursor position relative
to the widget that receives the mouse event. If you move the
widget as a result of the mouse event, use the global position
returned by <a href="#globalPos">globalPos</a>() to avoid a shaking motion.
<p> The <a href="tqwidget.html#setEnabled">TQWidget::setEnabled</a>() function can be used to enable or
disable mouse and keyboard events for a widget.
<p> The event handlers <a href="tqwidget.html#mousePressEvent">TQWidget::mousePressEvent</a>(),
<a href="tqwidget.html#mouseReleaseEvent">TQWidget::mouseReleaseEvent</a>(), <a href="tqwidget.html#mouseDoubleClickEvent">TQWidget::mouseDoubleClickEvent</a>() and
<a href="tqwidget.html#mouseMoveEvent">TQWidget::mouseMoveEvent</a>() receive mouse events.
<p> <p>See also <a href="tqwidget.html#mouseTracking-prop">TQWidget::mouseTracking</a>, <a href="tqwidget.html#grabMouse">TQWidget::grabMouse</a>(), <a href="tqcursor.html#pos">TQCursor::pos</a>(), and <a href="events.html">Event Classes</a>.

<h3 class=fn><a name="TQMouseEvent"></a>TQMouseEvent::TQMouseEvent ( <a href="tqevent.html#Type-enum">Type</a>&nbsp;type, const&nbsp;<a href="tqpoint.html">TQPoint</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;pos, int&nbsp;button, int&nbsp;state )
</h3>

<p> Constructs a mouse event object.
<p> The <em>type</em> parameter must be one of <a href="tqevent.html#Type-enum">TQEvent::MouseButtonPress</a>,
<a href="tqevent.html#Type-enum">TQEvent::MouseButtonRelease</a>, <a href="tqevent.html#Type-enum">TQEvent::MouseButtonDblClick</a> or
<a href="tqevent.html#Type-enum">TQEvent::MouseMove</a>.
<p> The <em>pos</em> parameter specifies the position relative to the
receiving widget. <em>button</em> specifies the <a href="tqt.html#ButtonState-enum">button</a> that caused the event, which should be <a href="tqt.html#ButtonState-enum">TQt::NoButton</a> (0), if <em>type</em> is <a href="tqevent.html#Type-enum">MouseMove</a>. <em>state</em> is the
<a href="tqt.html#ButtonState-enum">ButtonState</a> at the time of the
event.
<p> The <a href="#globalPos">globalPos</a>() is initialized to <a href="tqcursor.html#pos">TQCursor::pos</a>(), which may not be
appropriate. Use the other constructor to specify the global
position explicitly.

<h3 class=fn><a name="TQMouseEvent-2"></a>TQMouseEvent::TQMouseEvent ( <a href="tqevent.html#Type-enum">Type</a>&nbsp;type, const&nbsp;<a href="tqpoint.html">TQPoint</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;pos, const&nbsp;<a href="tqpoint.html">TQPoint</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;globalPos, int&nbsp;button, int&nbsp;state )
</h3>

<p> Constructs a mouse event object.
<p> The <em>type</em> parameter must be <a href="tqevent.html#Type-enum">TQEvent::MouseButtonPress</a>, <a href="tqevent.html#Type-enum">TQEvent::MouseButtonRelease</a>, <a href="tqevent.html#Type-enum">TQEvent::MouseButtonDblClick</a> or <a href="tqevent.html#Type-enum">TQEvent::MouseMove</a>.
<p> The <em>pos</em> parameter specifies the position relative to the
receiving widget. <em>globalPos</em> is the position in absolute
coordinates. <em>button</em> specifies the <a href="tqt.html#ButtonState-enum">button</a> that caused the event, which should be <a href="tqt.html#ButtonState-enum">TQt::NoButton</a> (0), if <em>type</em> is <a href="tqevent.html#Type-enum">MouseMove</a>. <em>state</em> is the
<a href="tqt.html#ButtonState-enum">ButtonState</a> at the time of the
event.
<p> 
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="accept"></a>TQMouseEvent::accept ()
</h3>

<p> Sets the accept flag of the mouse event object.
<p> Setting the accept parameter indicates that the receiver of the
event wants the mouse event. Unwanted mouse events are sent to the
parent widget.
<p> The accept flag is set by default.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#ignore">ignore</a>().

<h3 class=fn><a href="tqt.html#ButtonState-enum">ButtonState</a> <a name="button"></a>TQMouseEvent::button () const
</h3>

<p> Returns the button that caused the event.
<p> Possible return values are <a href="tqt.html#ButtonState-enum">LeftButton</a>, <a href="tqt.html#ButtonState-enum">RightButton</a>, <a href="tqt.html#ButtonState-enum">MidButton</a> and <a href="tqt.html#ButtonState-enum">NoButton</a>.
<p> Note that the returned value is always <a href="tqt.html#ButtonState-enum">NoButton</a> for mouse move
events.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#state">state</a>() and <a href="tqt.html#ButtonState-enum">TQt::ButtonState</a>.

<p>Examples: <a href="dclock-example.html#x1101">dclock/dclock.cpp</a>, <a href="life-example.html#x1890">life/life.cpp</a>, and <a href="tutorial1-14.html#x2417">t14/cannon.cpp</a>.
<h3 class=fn>const&nbsp;<a href="tqpoint.html">TQPoint</a>&nbsp;&amp; <a name="globalPos"></a>TQMouseEvent::globalPos () const
</h3>

<p> Returns the global position of the mouse pointer <em>at the time of the event</em>. This is important on asynchronous window systems
like X11. Whenever you move your widgets around in response to
mouse events, <a href="#globalPos">globalPos</a>() may differ a lot from the current
pointer position <a href="tqcursor.html#pos">TQCursor::pos</a>(), and from <a href="tqwidget.html#mapToGlobal">TQWidget::mapToGlobal</a>(
<a href="#pos">pos</a>() ).
<p> <p>See also <a href="#globalX">globalX</a>() and <a href="#globalY">globalY</a>().

<p>Example: <a href="aclock-example.html#x1181">aclock/aclock.cpp</a>.
<h3 class=fn>int <a name="globalX"></a>TQMouseEvent::globalX () const
</h3>

<p> Returns the global x-position of the mouse pointer at the time of
the event.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#globalY">globalY</a>() and <a href="#globalPos">globalPos</a>().

<h3 class=fn>int <a name="globalY"></a>TQMouseEvent::globalY () const
</h3>

<p> Returns the global y-position of the mouse pointer at the time of
the event.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#globalX">globalX</a>() and <a href="#globalPos">globalPos</a>().

<h3 class=fn>void <a name="ignore"></a>TQMouseEvent::ignore ()
</h3>

<p> Clears the accept flag parameter of the mouse event object.
<p> Clearing the accept parameter indicates that the event receiver
does not want the mouse event. Unwanted mouse events are sent to
the parent widget.
<p> The accept flag is set by default.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#accept">accept</a>().

<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="isAccepted"></a>TQMouseEvent::isAccepted () const
</h3>

<p> Returns TRUE if the receiver of the event wants to keep the key;
otherwise returns FALSE.

<h3 class=fn>const&nbsp;<a href="tqpoint.html">TQPoint</a>&nbsp;&amp; <a name="pos"></a>TQMouseEvent::pos () const
</h3>

<p> Returns the position of the mouse pointer relative to the widget
that received the event.
<p> If you move the widget as a result of the mouse event, use the
global position returned by <a href="#globalPos">globalPos</a>() to avoid a shaking motion.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#x">x</a>(), <a href="#y">y</a>(), and <a href="#globalPos">globalPos</a>().

<p>Examples: <a href="tutorial2-06.html#x2580">chart/canvasview.cpp</a>, <a href="drawlines-example.html#x1654">drawlines/connect.cpp</a>, <a href="life-example.html#x1891">life/life.cpp</a>, <a href="popup-example.html#x1611">popup/popup.cpp</a>, <a href="qmag-example.html#x1780">qmag/qmag.cpp</a>, <a href="tutorial1-14.html#x2418">t14/cannon.cpp</a>, and <a href="tooltip-example.html#x443">tooltip/tooltip.cpp</a>.
<h3 class=fn><a href="tqt.html#ButtonState-enum">ButtonState</a> <a name="state"></a>TQMouseEvent::state () const
</h3>

<p> Returns the button state (a combination of mouse buttons and
keyboard modifiers), i.e. what buttons and keys were being pressed
immediately before the event was generated.
<p> This means that if you have a <a href="tqevent.html#Type-enum">TQEvent::MouseButtonPress</a> or a <a href="tqevent.html#Type-enum">TQEvent::MouseButtonDblClick</a> <a href="#state">state</a>() will <em>not</em> include the mouse
button that's pressed. But once the mouse button has been
released, the <a href="tqevent.html#Type-enum">TQEvent::MouseButtonRelease</a> event will have the
<a href="#button">button</a>() that was pressed.
<p> This value is mainly interesting for <a href="tqevent.html#Type-enum">TQEvent::MouseMove</a>; for the
other cases, button() is more useful.
<p> The returned value is <a href="tqt.html#ButtonState-enum">LeftButton</a>, <a href="tqt.html#ButtonState-enum">RightButton</a>, <a href="tqt.html#ButtonState-enum">MidButton</a>,
<a href="tqt.html#ButtonState-enum">ShiftButton</a>, <a href="tqt.html#ButtonState-enum">ControlButton</a> and <a href="tqt.html#ButtonState-enum">AltButton</a> OR'ed together.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#button">button</a>(), <a href="#stateAfter">stateAfter</a>(), and <a href="tqt.html#ButtonState-enum">TQt::ButtonState</a>.

<p>Examples: <a href="popup-example.html#x1612">popup/popup.cpp</a> and <a href="showimg-example.html#x1334">showimg/showimg.cpp</a>.
<h3 class=fn><a href="tqt.html#ButtonState-enum">ButtonState</a> <a name="stateAfter"></a>TQMouseEvent::stateAfter () const
</h3>

<p> Returns the state of buttons after the event.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#state">state</a>() and <a href="tqt.html#ButtonState-enum">TQt::ButtonState</a>.

<h3 class=fn>int <a name="x"></a>TQMouseEvent::x () const
</h3>

<p> Returns the x-position of the mouse pointer, relative to the
widget that received the event.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#y">y</a>() and <a href="#pos">pos</a>().

<p>Example: <a href="showimg-example.html#x1335">showimg/showimg.cpp</a>.
<h3 class=fn>int <a name="y"></a>TQMouseEvent::y () const
</h3>

<p> Returns the y-position of the mouse pointer, relative to the
widget that received the event.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#x">x</a>() and <a href="#pos">pos</a>().
