--------------------
PySide adopt PyQt's new signal and slot syntax as-is. The PySide implementation is functionally compatible with the PyQt 4.5 one, with the exceptions listed bellow.
-
- .. note:: Parts of the documentation bellow are from the `PyQt4 documentation <http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/static/Docs/PyQt4/pyqt4ref.html#new-style-signal-and-slot-support>`_ public available on the internet Copyright (c) 2010 Riverbank Computing Limited just modified to fit the PySide implementation.
-
- Although PySide allows any Python callable to be used as a slot when connecting signals, it is sometimes necessary to explicitly mark a Python method as being a Qt slot and to provide a C++ signature for it. PySide provides the QtCore.Slot() function decorator to do this.
-
- All of the non-keyword arguments to the decorator are interpreted as the types of the corresponding C++ arguments. A type is either a Python type object or a string that specifies a C++ type. The decorator also takes two optional keywords arguments: name and result. name is the name of the slot that will be seen by C++. If ommitted the name of the Python method being decorated will be used. result is the type of the result and may also be a Python type object or a string that specifies a C++ type.
-
- For example:
-
- ::
-
- @QtCore.Slot()
- def foo(self):
- """ C++: void foo() """
-
- @QtCore.Slot(int, unicode)
- def foo(self, arg1, arg2):
- """ C++: void foo(int, QString) """
-
- @QtCore.Slot(int, name='bar')
- def foo(self, arg1):
- """ C++: void bar(int) """
-
- @QtCore.Slot(int, result=int)
- def foo(self, arg1):
- """ C++: int foo(int) """
-
- @QtCore.Slot(int, QtGui.QWidget)
- def foo(self, arg1):
- """ C++: int foo(int, QWidget*) """
-
- It is also possible to chain the decorators in order to define a Python method several times with different signatures.
-
- For example:
-
- ::
-
- @QtCore.Slot(int)
- @QtCore.Slot('QString')
- def valueChanged(self, value):
- """ Two slots will be defined in the QMetaObject. """
-
-Connecting Slots By Name
-------------------------
-
- PySide supports the QtCore.QMetaObject.connectSlotsByName() function that is most commonly used by pyside-uic generated Python code to automatically connect signals to slots that conform to a simple naming convention besides the QtCore.Slot decoration.
-
- For example the :class:`PySide.QtGui.QSpinBox` class has the following signals:
-
- ::
-
- void valueChanged(int i);
- void valueChanged(const QString& text);
-
- For example, if you were interested in the integer variant of the signal then your slot definition would look like the following:
-
- ::
-
- @QtCore.Slot(int)
- def on_spinbox_valueChanged(self, i):
- # i will be an integer.
- pass
-
- If you wanted to handle both variants of the signal, but with different Python methods, then your slot definitions might look like the following:
-
- ::
-
- @QtCore.Slot(int, name='on_spinbox_valueChanged')
- def spinbox_int_value(self, i):
- # i will be an integer.
- pass
-
- @QtCore.Slot(unicode, name='on_spinbox_valueChanged')
- def spinbox_qstring_value(self, s):
- # s will be a Python unicode object.
- pass
-
- The following shows an example using a button when you are not interested in the optional argument:
-
- ::
-
- @QtCore.Slot()
- def on_button_clicked(self):
- pass
