NAME

QTimerEvent - Parameters that describe a timer event

SYNOPSIS

#include <qevent.h>

Inherits QEvent.

Public Members

QTimerEvent ( int timerId )

DESCRIPTION

The QTimerEvent class contains parameters that describe a timer event.

Timer events are sent at regular intervals to objects that have started one or more timers. Each timer has a unique identifier. A timer is started with QObject::startTimer().

The QTimer class provides a high-level programming interface that uses signals instead of events. It also provides one-shot timers.

The event handler QObject::timerEvent() receives timer events.

See also QTimer, QObject::timerEvent(), QObject::startTimer(), QObject::killTimer(), QObject::killTimers(), and Event Classes.

MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION

QTimerEvent::QTimerEvent ( int timerId )

Constructs a timer event object with the timer identifier set to timerId.

int QTimerEvent::timerId () const

Returns the unique timer identifier, which is the same identifier as returned from QObject::startTimer().

Example: dclock/dclock.cpp.
