Detailed Description
The QContextMenuEvent class contains parameters that describe a context menu event.
Context menu events are sent to widgets when a user triggers a
context menu. What triggers this is platform dependent. For
example, on Windows, pressing the menu button or releasing the
right mouse button will cause this event to be sent.
When this event occurs it is customary to show a QPopupMenu with a
context menu, if this is relevant to the context.
Context menu events contain a special accept flag that indicates
whether the receiver accepted the event. If the event handler does
not accept the event, then whatever triggered the event will be
handled as a regular input event if possible.
See also QPopupMenu and Event Classes.
Member Type Documentation
QContextMenuEvent::Reason
This enum describes the reason the ContextMenuEvent was sent. The
values are:
- QContextMenuEvent::Mouse - The mouse caused the event to be sent. Normally this
means the right mouse button was clicked, but this is platform
specific.
- QContextMenuEvent::Keyboard - The keyboard caused this event to be sent. On
Windows this means the menu button was pressed.
- QContextMenuEvent::Other - The event was sent by some other means (i.e. not by
the mouse or keyboard).
Member Function Documentation
Constructs a context menu event object with the accept parameter
flag set to FALSE.
The reason parameter must be QContextMenuEvent::Mouse or QContextMenuEvent::Keyboard.
The pos parameter specifies the mouse position relative to the
receiving widget. globalPos is the mouse position in absolute
coordinates. state is the ButtonState at the time of the event.
Constructs a context menu event object with the accept parameter
flag set to FALSE.
The reason parameter must be QContextMenuEvent::Mouse or QContextMenuEvent::Keyboard.
The pos parameter specifies the mouse position relative to the
receiving widget. state is the ButtonState at the time of the
event.
The globalPos() is initialized to QCursor::pos(), which may not be
appropriate. Use the other constructor to specify the global
position explicitly.
void QContextMenuEvent::accept ()
Sets the accept flag of the context event object.
Setting the accept flag indicates that the receiver of this event
has processed the event. Processing the event means you did
something with it and it will be implicitly consumed.
The accept flag is not set by default.
See also ignore() and consume().
void QContextMenuEvent::consume ()
Sets the consume flag of the context event object.
Setting the consume flag indicates that the receiver of this event
does not want the event to be propagated further (i.e. not sent to
parent classes.)
The consumed flag is not set by default.
See also ignore() and accept().
const QPoint & QContextMenuEvent::globalPos () const
Returns the global position of the mouse pointer at the time of
the event.
See also x(), y(), and pos().
int QContextMenuEvent::globalX () const
Returns the global x-position of the mouse pointer at the time of
the event.
See also globalY() and globalPos().
int QContextMenuEvent::globalY () const
Returns the global y-position of the mouse pointer at the time of
the event.
See also globalX() and globalPos().
void QContextMenuEvent::ignore ()
Clears the accept flag of the context event object.
Clearing the accept flag indicates that the receiver of this event
does not need to show a context menu. This will implicitly remove
the consumed flag as well.
The accept flag is not set by default.
See also accept() and consume().
bool QContextMenuEvent::isAccepted () const
Returns TRUE if the receiver has processed the event; otherwise
returns FALSE.
See also accept(), ignore(), and consume().
bool QContextMenuEvent::isConsumed () const
Returns TRUE (which stops propagation of the event) if the
receiver has blocked the event; otherwise returns FALSE.
See also accept(), ignore(), and consume().
const QPoint & QContextMenuEvent::pos () const
Returns the position of the mouse pointer relative to the widget
that received the event.
See also x(), y(), and globalPos().
Reason QContextMenuEvent::reason () const
Returns the reason for this context event.
ButtonState QContextMenuEvent::state () const
Returns the button state (a combination of mouse buttons and
keyboard modifiers), i.e. what buttons and keys were being
pressed immediately before the event was generated.
The returned value is LeftButton, RightButton, MidButton,
ShiftButton, ControlButton and AltButton OR'ed together.
int QContextMenuEvent::x () const
Returns the x-position of the mouse pointer, relative to the
widget that received the event.
See also y() and pos().
int QContextMenuEvent::y () const
Returns the y-position of the mouse pointer, relative to the
widget that received the event.
See also x() and pos().
