[since 5.3] Qt::MouseEventSource QMouseEvent::source() const
This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source code working. We strongly advise against using it in new code.
in 6.0: use pointingDevice()
Returns information about the mouse event source.
The mouse event source can be used to distinguish between genuine and artificial mouse events. The latter are events that are synthesized from touch events by the operating system or Qt itself. This enum tells you from where it was synthesized; but often it's more useful to know from which device it was synthesized, so try to use pointingDevice() instead.
Note: Many platforms provide no such information. On such platforms Qt::MouseEventNotSynthesized is returned always.
This function was introduced in Qt 5.3.
