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。
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。
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
事件的产生、分发、接受和处理，并以视窗系统鼠标点击QWidget为例，对代码进行了剖析，向大家分析了Qt框架如何通过Event
Loop处理进入处理消息队列循环，如何一步一步委派给平台相关的函数获取、打包用户输入事件交给视窗系统处理，函数调用栈如下：
1 main(int, char **) 2 QApplication::exec() 3 QCoreApplication::exec() 4 QEventLoop::exec(ProcessEventsFlags ) 5 QEventLoop::processEvents(ProcessEventsFlags ) 6 QEventDispatcherWin32::processEvents(QEventLoop::ProcessEventsFlags)
本文将介绍Qt app在视窗系统回调后，事件又是怎么一步步通过QApplication分发给最终事件的接受和处理者QWidget::event, （QWidget继承Object,重载其虚函数event)，以下所有的讨论都将嵌入在源码之中。
