The TQEvent class is the base class of all
event classes. Event objects contain event parameters.
<p> 

<p> TQt's main event loop (<a href="qapplication.html#exec">TQApplication::exec</a>()) fetches native window
system events from the event queue, translates them into TQEvents
and sends the translated events to TQObjects.
<p> In general, events come from the underlying window system
(<a href="#spontaneous">spontaneous</a>() returns TRUE) but it is also possible to manually
send events using <a href="qapplication.html#sendEvent">TQApplication::sendEvent</a>() and
<a href="qapplication.html#postEvent">TQApplication::postEvent</a>() (spontaneous() returns FALSE).
<p> TQObjects receive events by having their <a href="qobject.html#event">TQObject::event</a>() function
called. The function can be reimplemented in subclasses to
customize event handling and add additional event types;
<a href="qwidget.html#event">TQWidget::event</a>() is a notable example. By default, events are
dispatched to event handlers like <a href="qobject.html#timerEvent">TQObject::timerEvent</a>() and
<a href="qwidget.html#mouseMoveEvent">TQWidget::mouseMoveEvent</a>(). <a href="qobject.html#installEventFilter">TQObject::installEventFilter</a>() allows an
object to intercept events destined for another object.
<p> The basic TQEvent contains only an event type parameter.
Subclasses of TQEvent contain additional parameters that describe
the particular event.
<p> <p>See also <a href="qobject.html#event">TQObject::event</a>(), <a href="qobject.html#installEventFilter">TQObject::installEventFilter</a>(), <a href="qwidget.html#event">TQWidget::event</a>(), <a href="qapplication.html#sendEvent">TQApplication::sendEvent</a>(), <a href="qapplication.html#postEvent">TQApplication::postEvent</a>(), <a href="qapplication.html#processEvents">TQApplication::processEvents</a>(), <a href="environment.html">Environment Classes</a>, and <a href="events.html">Event Classes</a>.
