title: Event propagation in Qt
body: <p>I've just the documentation on <a href="http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/eventsandfilters.html" rel="nofollow">the Qt event system</a> and the <a href="http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/qevent.html" rel="nofollow"><code>QEvent</code> class</a>.  I'm interested in the behavior of the <a href="http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/qobject.html#event" rel="nofollow"><code>QObject::event()</code></a> method.  The documentation states:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>This virtual function receives events to an object and should return true if the event e was recognized and processed.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>What is the expected behavior when <code>false</code> is returned from the <code>event()</code> method?  What else is attempted in order to handle the event?  Is the event automatically forwarded to the parent object?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Note</strong>: I know the source is available, and I do have a copy.  I'm ideally looking for some piece of documentation addressing this behavior.</p>
