    Description

      'source()' has been deprecated. It could return: 

      • Qt::MouseEventNotSynthesized
      • Qt::MouseEventSynthesizedBySystem
      • Qt::MouseEventSynthesizedByQt
      • Qt::MouseEventSynthesizedByApplication

      Now I must use 'pointingDevice()'.

      I don't see however how the information provided by the QPointingDevice can be interpreted for the above functionality. The documentation also gives not enough information about it.
