QMoveEvent(3qt)

💖 QMoveEvent — the 3qt manual page, bestie edition 💖

okay so this is QMoveEvent(3qt) from the Qt 3 man pages, and it's literally just the little info packet that shows up when a widget moves. tiny class, big main character energy. let's get into it 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

QMoveEvent — Event parameters for move events

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <qevent.h>

Inherits QEvent.

👑 Public Members

QMoveEvent ( const QPoint & pos, const QPoint & oldPos )
const QPoint & pos () const
const QPoint & oldPos () const

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

The QMoveEvent class contains event parameters for move events. that's the whole vibe, she's a container, she holds the details, she does not do the moving herself 💖

Move events are sent to widgets that have been moved to a new position relative to their parent. so like, widget got relocated, and the system is like "hey bestie, heads up, you moved" 📦➡️📦

The event handler QWidget::moveEvent() receives move events. that's where you go to react to it.

See also QWidget::pos, QWidget::geometry, and Event Classes.

🎀 MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION 🎀

🌟 QMoveEvent::QMoveEvent ( const QPoint & pos, const QPoint & oldPos )

Constructs a move event with the new and old widget positions, pos and oldPos respectively.

so you hand it where the widget is now, and where it was before. both are QPoints. cute, simple, no cap ✨

---

🌈 const QPoint & QMoveEvent::oldPos () const

Returns the old position of the widget.

that's the "before" pic, the throwback, the place it used to be at 📸

---

🦋 const QPoint & QMoveEvent::pos () const

Returns the new position of the widget.

Important caveat, do not skip this: This excludes the window frame for top level widgets. so for a top-level widget you're getting the position without the frame counted in. fr fr, that detail matters 🫶
