Detailed Description

class PySide6.QtGui.QInputEvent(type, m_dev[, modifiers=Qt.NoModifier])

PySide6.QtGui.QInputEvent(arg__1)

Parameters

• arg__1 – PySide6.QtGui.QInputEvent

• modifiers – KeyboardModifiers

• type – Type

• m_dev – PySide6.QtGui.QInputDevice

PySide6.QtGui.QInputEvent.device()

Return type

PySide6.QtGui.QInputDevice

Returns the source device that generated the original event.

In case of a synthesized event, for example a mouse event that was generated from a touch event, device() continues to return the touchscreen device, so that you can tell that it did not come from an actual mouse. Thus mouseEvent.source()->type() != QInputDevice::DeviceType::Mouse is one possible replacement for the Qt 5 expression mouseEvent.source() == Qt::MouseEventSynthesizedByQt.
