Detailed Description
The Qt class is a namespace for miscellaneous identifiers that need to be global-like.
Normally, you can ignore this class. QObject and a few other
classes inherit it, so that all the identifiers in the Qt namespace
are visible to you without qualification.
However, occasionally you may need to say Qt::black
instead just
black,
particularly in static utility functions (such as many
class factories).
Examples:
menu/menu.cpp
Member Type Documentation
This enum type is used to describe alignment. It contains four sets
of flags: Horizontal, vertical and modifying flags. The horizontal
flags are:
-
AlignLeft
- Align with the left edge.
-
AlignRight
- Align with the left edge.
-
AlignHCenter
- Center horizontally in the available space.
The vertical flags are:
-
AlignTop
- Align with the top.
-
AlignBottom
- Align with the bottom.
-
AlignVCenter
- Center vertically in the available space.
You can only use one of the horizontal flags at a time. There
is one two-dimensional flag:
-
AlignCenter
- Center in both dimensions.
This counts both as a horizontal and vertical flag: It cannot
be combined with any other horizontal or vertical flags.
There are also some modifier flags. All of them apply only to
printing:
-
SingleLine
- Treat all white-space as space and print just
one line.
-
DontClip
- If it's impossible to stay within the given
bounds, print outside.
-
ExpandTabs
- Make the U+0009 (ascii tab) character move to
the next tab stop.
-
ShowPrefix
- Display the string "&P" as an underlined P
(see QButton for an example). To get an ampersand, use "&&".
-
WordBreak
- Do line breaking at at appropriate points.
You can only use one of the horizontal flags at a time, and one of
the vertical flags. AlignCenter
counts as both horizontal and
vertical. You can use as many modifier flags as you want, except
that SingleLine
and WordBreak
cannot be combined.
Flags that are inappropriate for a given use (e.g. ShowPrefix to
QGridLayout::addWidget()) are ignored.
Conflicting combinations of flags have undefined meanings.
This enum type describes the state of the mouse buttons, with
associated shift buttons. The currently defined values are:
-
NoButton
- used when the button state does not refer to any
button (see QMouseEvent::button()).
-
LeftButton
- set if the left button is pressed, or this
event refers to the left button. Note that the left button may be
the right button on left-handed mice.
-
RightButton
- the right button.
-
MidButton
- the middle button
-
ShiftButton
- a shift key on the keyboard is also pressed.
-
ControlButton
- a control key on the keyboard is also pressed.
-
AltButton
- an alt (or meta) key on the keyboard is also pressed.
This type is used to signify whether an object should be Horizontal
or Vertical
(for example in QScrollBar).
This enum type defines the pen styles supported by Qt; ie. that
sorts of lines that can be drawn using QPainter. The current styles
are:
-
NoPen
- no line at all. For example, QPainter::drawRect()
fills but does not draw any explicit boundary line.
-
SolidLine
- a simple line.
-
DashLine
- dashes, separated by a few pixels.
-
DotLine
- dots, separated by a few pixels.
-
DashDotLine
- alternately dots and dashes.
-
DashDotDotLine
- one dash, two dots, one dash, two dots...
This enum is used in widgets that can display both plain text and
rich text, e.g. QLabel. It is used for deciding whether a text
string should be interpreted as the one or the other. This is
normally done by passing one of the enum values to a setTextFormat()
function.
-
PlainText
- The text string is interpreted as a normal text string.
-
RichText
- The text string is interpreted as a rich text according to the current QStyleSheet::defaultSheet().
-
AutoText
- The text string is interpreted as for RichText
if QStyleSheet::mightBeRichText() returns TRUE, otherwise as for PlainText.
This enum type is used to specify various window-system properties
of the widget. Mostly they are fairly unusal, but necessary in a
few cases.
The main types are
-
WType_TopLevel
- indicates that this widget is a top-level
widget, usually with a window-system frame and so on.
-
WType_Modal
- indicates that this widget is a modal top-level
widget, ie. that it prevents widgets in all other top-level widget
from getting any input. WType_Modal
inplies WStyle_Dialog.
-
WType_Popup
- indicates that this widget is a popup top-level
window, ie. that it is modal, but has a window system frame
appropriate for popup menus.
-
WType_Desktop
- indicates that this widget is the desktop.
See also WPaintDesktop
below.
There are also a number of flags to let you customize the
appearance of top-level windows. These have no effect on other
windows.
-
WStyle_Customize
- indicates that instead of the default, the
WStyle_* flags should be used to build the window.
-
WStyle_NormalBorder
- gives the window a normal border. Cannot
be combined with WStyle_DialogBorder
or WStyle_NoBorder.
-
WStyle_DialogBorder
- gives the window a thin dialog border.
Cannot be combined with WStyle_NormalBorder
or WStyle_NoBorder.
-
WStyle_NoBorder
- gives a borderless window. Note that the
user cannot move or resize a borderless window via the window system.
Cannot be combined with WStyle_NormalBorder
or WStyle_DialogBorder.
-
WStyle_Title
- gives the window a title bar.
-
WStyle_SysMenu
- adds a window system menu.
-
WStyle_Minimize
- adds a minimize button.
-
WStyle_Maximize
- adds a maximize button.
-
WStyle_MinMax
- is equal to WStyle_Minimize|WStyle_Maximize
-
WStyle_ContextHelp
- adds a context help button.
-
WStyle_Tool
- makes the window a tool window. A tool window
is a small window that lives for a short time and it is typically used
for creating popup windows. It there is a parent, the tool window
will always be kept on top of it. If there isn't a parent, you may
consider passing WStyle_StaysOnTop as well. If the window system
supports it, a tool window is be decorated with a somewhat lighter
frame. It can, however, be combined with WStyle_NoBorder
as well.
-
WStyle_StaysOnTop
- informs the window system that the window
should stay on top of all other windows.
-
WStyle_Dialog
- indicates that the window is a logical
subwindow of its parent, in other words: a dialog. The window will
not get its own taskbar entry and be kept on top of its parent by
the window system. Usually, it will also be minimized when the
parent is minized. If not customized, the window is decorated
with a slightly simpler title bar. This is the flag QDialog uses.
Finally, there are some modifier flags:
-
WDestructiveClose
- makes Qt delete this object when the object has
accepted closeEvent(), or when the widget tried to ignore closeEvent() but
could not.
-
WPaintDesktop
- gives this widget paint events for the desktop.
-
WPaintUnclipped
- makes all painters operating on this widget
unclipped. Children of this widget, or other widgets in front of it,
do not clip the area the painter can paint on.
-
WPaintClever
- indicates that Qt should not try to optimize
repainting for the widget, but instead pass on window system repaint
events directly. (This tends to produce more events and smaller
repaint regions.)
-
WResizeNoErase
- indicates that resizing the widget should not
erase it. This allows smart-repainting to avoid flicker.
-
WMouseNoMask
- indicates that even if the widget has a mask,
it wants mouse events for its entire rectangle.
-
WNorthWestGravity
- indicates that the widget contents is
north-west aligned and static. On resize, such a widget will receive
paint events only for the newly visible part of itself.
-
WRepaintNoErase
- indacates that the widget paints all its
pixels. Updating, scrolling and focus changes should therefore not
erase the widget. This allows smart-repainting to avoid flicker.
