# Qt Quick Pointer Handlers

Qt Quick Pointer Handlers are a set of QML types used to handle events from touch, mouse, and stylus devices in a UI. In contrast to event-handling Items, such as MouseArea, Pointer Handlers require less memory and are intended to be used in greater numbers: one handler per type of interaction. Each Pointer Handler handles events on behalf of its `parent` Item. One Item can have multiple Pointer Handlers.

The module is introduced in Qt 5.10.

## Pointer Handlers

## Getting Started

The QML types can be imported into your application using the following import statement in your `.qml` file.

      import Qt.labs.handlers 1.0

## Key Features

Some of the key features are:

- Handle gestures such as tapping or dragging regardless which device it comes from
- Handle gestures from different classes of devices in different ways
- Each Item can have unlimited Handlers
