Detailed Description

__init__(arg__1)
Parameters:

arg__1QInputEvent

__init__(type, m_dev[, modifiers=Qt.NoModifier])
Parameters:
device()
Return type:

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.
