73 * to tell KCursor not to install an eventFilter. Then you call this method
74 * from the beginning of your eventFilter, for example:
75 * \code
76 * edit = new KEdit( this, "some edit widget" );
77 * edit->installEventFilter( this );

85 * KCursor::autoHideEventFilter( o, e );
86 *
87 * // now you can do your own event-processing
88 * [...]

92 * Note that you must not call KCursor::autoHideEventFilter() when you
93 * didn't enable or after disabling auto-hiding.
