+
+ \note In Qt 5-based code, source() was often used to attempt to distinguish
+ mouse events from an actual mouse vs. those that were synthesized because
+ some legacy QQuickItem or QWidget subclass did not react to a QTouchEvent.
+ However, you could not tell whether it was synthesized from a QTouchEvent
+ or a QTabletEvent, and other information was lost. pointingDevice()
+ tells you the specific device that it came from, so you might check
+ \c {pointingDevice()->type()} or \c {pointingDevice()->capabilities()} to
+ decide how to react to this event. But it's even better to react to the
+ original event rather than handling only mouse events.
