DESCRIPTION
The QWheelEvent class contains parameters that describe a
wheel event.
Wheel events occur when a mouse wheel is turned while the
widget has focus. The rotation distance is provided by
delta(). The functions pos() and globalPos() return the
mouse pointer location at the time of the event.
A wheel event contains a special accept flag which tells
whether the receiver wants the event. You should call
QWheelEvent::accept() if you handle the wheel event,
otherwise it will be sent to the parent widget.
The QWidget::setEnable() function can be used to enable or
disable mouse and keyboard events for a widget.
The event handler QWidget::wheelEvent() receive wheel
events.
See also QMouseEvent and QWidget::grabMouse().
MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATIONQWheelEvent::QWheelEvent ( const QPoint & pos, const QPoint &
globalPos, int delta, int state )
Constructs a wheel event object.
See also pos(), globalPos(), delta() and state().

QWheelEvent(3qt)QWheelEvent(3qt)QWheelEvent::QWheelEvent ( const QPoint & pos, int delta, int
state )
Constructs a wheel event object.
The globalPos() is initialized to QCursor::pos(), which
usually is right but not always. Use the other constructor
if you need to specify the global position explicitly.
See also pos(), delta() and state().
void QWheelEvent::accept ()
Sets the accept flag of the wheel event object.
Setting the accept parameter indicates that the receiver
of the event wants the wheel event. Unwanted wheel events
are sent to the parent widget.
The accept flag is set by default.
See also ignore().
int QWheelEvent::delta () const
Returns the distance that the wheel is rotated, expressed
in multiples or divisions of WHEEL_DELTA, which is set at
120 currently.A positive value indicates that the wheel
was rotated forward, away from the user; a negative value
indicates that the wheel was rotated backward, toward the
user.
The WHEEL_DELTA constant was set to 120 by the wheel mouse
vendors to allow building finer-resolution wheels in the
future, including perhaps a freely-rotating wheel with no
notches. The expectation is that such a device would send
more messages per rotation, but with a smaller value in
each message.
const QPoint & QWheelEvent::globalPos () const
Returns the global position of the mouse pointer at the
time of the event. This is important on asynchronous
window systems like X11: Whenever you move your widgets
around in response to mouse evens, globalPos() can differ
a lot from the current pointer position QCursor::pos().
See also globalX() and globalY().
int QWheelEvent::globalX () const
Returns the global X position of the mouse pointer at the
time of the event
See also globalY() and globalPos().
int QWheelEvent::globalY () const
Returns the global Y position of the mouse pointer at the
time of the event

See also globalX() and globalPos().
void QWheelEvent::ignore ()
Clears the accept flag parameter of the wheel event
object.
Clearing the accept parameter indicates that the event
receiver does not want the wheel event. Unwanted wheel
events are sent to the parent widget. The accept flag is
set by default.
See also accept().
bool QWheelEvent::isAccepted () const
Returns TRUE if the receiver of the event handles the
wheel event.
const QPoint & QWheelEvent::pos () const
Returns the position of the mouse pointer, relative to the
widget that received the event.
If you move your widgets around in response to mouse
evens, use globalPos() instead of this function.
See also x(), y() and globalPos().
ButtonState QWheelEvent::state () const
Returns the keyboard modifier flags of the event.
The returned value is ShiftButton, ControlButton and
AltButton OR'ed together.
int QWheelEvent::x () const
Returns the X position of the mouse pointer, relative to
the widget that received the event.
See also y() and pos().
int QWheelEvent::y () const
Returns the Y position of the mouse pointer, relative to
the widget that received the event.
See also x() and pos().
