How to see all posted events for an object
-
Hello All,
is there a way to see all posted events of an object in QT..? or is it private to QT.?
I could see them when the object processes those posted events but i'm wondering if there's a way to see all posted events that are yet to be processed.
Also, Please give any references to understand how posted events work & how these are different than sending events directly.
Thanks in advance,

Hi
You can install a eventfilter and see what is sent to each control.
http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1405544&seqNum=2For info, please see
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/eventsandfilters.htmlAlso for more fun with EventFilters you can use my ID to string function
so it can directly list what is is :)const char* DesignArea::EventDesc(int EType) { if ( EType == QEvent::Timer /*== 1*/ ) return "timer event"; if ( EType == QEvent::MouseButtonPress /*== 2*/ ) return " mouse button pressed";
