Simulating Keypress from Button click

Alan B

I am using the following code to simulate a keypress from within a button click method :-

QKeyEvent *event = new QKeyEvent(QEvent::KeyPress, key, Qt::NoModifier, txt);

QApplication::sendEvent(target, event);

My question is, will this cause memory leaks since I am not deleting the QKeyEvent after use or is this handled automatically by the receiver ?

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Yes it will. Take a look at the sendEvent method documentation.
