Overview

The QTestEventList class provides a list of GUI events. A QTestEventList can be populated with GUI events that can be stored as test data for later usage, or be replayed on any QWidget.

Events will be executed in serial wise manner. So this can be use to built a Marco.

Preconditions

Download and Install latest version Qt for Symbian - Installation packages which has links on how to install the latest version

Function

Adds a new key click to the list. The event will simulate the key qtKey with the modifiers and then wait for msecs milliseconds.

events->addKeyClick(Qt::Key_Space);

Simulates the events from the list one by one on the widget w. For an example, please read the QTestEventList class documentation.

events->simulate(line);
