QChildEvent Class Reference
^{[QtCore module]}

The QChildEvent class contains event parameters for child object events. More...

Inherits QEvent.

Methods

• __init__ (self, QEvent.Type type, QObject child)
• __init__ (self, QChildEvent)
• bool added (self)
• QObject child (self)
• bool polished (self)
• bool removed (self)

In both cases you can only rely on the child being a QObject (or, if QObject.isWidgetType() returns true, a QWidget). This is because in the QEvent.ChildAdded case the child is not yet fully constructed; in the QEvent.ChildRemoved case it might have already been destructed.

The handler for these events is QObject.childEvent().
