本篇来介绍Qt 事件处理机制 。深入了解事件处理系统对于每个学习Qt人来说非常重要,可以说,Qt是以事件驱动的UI工具集。 大家熟知Signals/Slots在多线程的实现也依赖于Qt的事件处理机制。
在Qt中,事件被封装成一个个对象,所有的事件均继承自抽象类QEvent. 接下来依次谈谈Qt中有谁来产生、分发、接受和处理事件:
1、谁来产生事件: 最容易想到的是我们的输入设备,比如键盘、鼠标产生的
keyPressEvent,keyReleaseEvent,mousePressEvent,mouseReleaseEvent事件(他们被封装成QMouseEvent和QKeyEvent),这些事件来自于底层的操作系统,它们以异步的形式通知Qt事件处理系统,后文会仔细道来。当然Qt自己也会产生很多事件,比如QObject::startTimer()会触发QTimerEvent. 用户的程序可还以自己定制事件。
2、谁来接受和处理事件:答案是QObject。在Qt的内省机制剖析一文已经介绍QObject 类是整个Qt对象模型的心脏,事件处理机制是QObject三大职责(内存管理、内省(intropection)与事件处理制)之一。任何一个想要接受并处理事件的对象均须继承自QObject,可以选择重载QObject::event()函数或事件的处理权转给父类。
3、谁来负责分发事件:对于non-GUI的Qt程序,是由QCoreApplication负责将QEvent分发给QObject的子类-Receiver. 对于Qt GUI程序,由QApplication来负责。
接下来,将通过对代码的解析来看看QT是利用event loop从事件队列中获取用户输入事件,又是如何将事件转义成QEvents,并分发给相应的QObject处理。

从Section 1~Section7, Qt进入QApplication的event loop,经过层层委任,最终QEventloop的processEvent将通过与平台相关的QAbstractEventDispatcher的子类QEventDispatcherWin32获得用户的用户输入事件,并将其打包成message后,通过标准Windows API ,把消息传递给了Windows OS,Windows OS得到通知后回调QtWndProc, 至此事件的分发与处理完成了一半的路程。
小结:Qt 事件处理机制 (上篇)的内容介绍完了,在下文中,我们将进一步讨论当我们收到来在Windows的回调后,事件又是怎么一步步打包成QEvent并通过QApplication分发给最终事件的接受和处理者QObject::event.请继续看Qt 事件处理机制 (下篇)。***希望本文能帮你解决问题!
