It also shows how to use Qt's rich text engine. - - \image dockwidgets-example.png Screenshot of the Dock Widgets example - - The application presents a simple business letter template, and has - a list of customer names and addresses and a list of standard - phrases in two dock windows. The user can click a customer to have - their name and address inserted into the template, and click one or - more of the standard phrases. Errors can be corrected by clicking - the Undo button. Once the letter has been prepared it can be printed - or saved as HTML. - - \section1 MainWindow Class Definition - - Here's the class definition: - - \snippet examples/mainwindows/dockwidgets/mainwindow.h 0 - - We will now review each function in turn. - - \section1 MainWindow Class Implementation - - \snippet examples/mainwindows/dockwidgets/mainwindow.cpp 0 - - We start by including \c <QtGui>, a header file that contains the - definition of all classes in the \l QtCore and \l QtGui - libraries. This saves us from having to include - every class individually and is especially convenient if we add new - widgets. We also include \c mainwindow.h. - - \snippet examples/mainwindows/dockwidgets/mainwindow.cpp 1 - - In the constructor, we start by creating a QTextEdit widget. Then we call - QMainWindow::setCentralWidget(). This function passes ownership of - the QTextEdit to the \c MainWindow and tells the \c MainWindow that - the QTextEdit will occupy the \c MainWindow's central area. - - Then we call \c createActions(), \c createMenus(), \c - createToolBars(), \c createStatusBar(), and \c createDockWindows() - to set up the user interface. Finally we call \c setWindowTitle() to - give the application a title, and \c newLetter() to create a new - letter template. - - We won't quote the \c createActions(), \c createMenus(), \c - createToolBars(), and \c createStatusBar() functions since they - follow the same pattern as all the other Qt examples. - - \snippet examples/mainwindows/dockwidgets/mainwindow.cpp 9 - - We create the customers dock window first, and in addition to a - window title, we also pass it a \c this pointer so that it becomes a - child of \c MainWindow. Normally we don't have to pass a parent - because widgets are parented automatically when they are laid out: - but dock windows aren't laid out using layouts. - - We've chosen to restrict the customers dock window to the left and - right dock areas. (So the user cannot drag the dock window to the - top or bottom dock areas.) The user can drag the dock window out of - the dock areas entirely so that it becomes a free floating window. - We can change this (and whether the dock window is moveable or - closable) using QDockWidget::setFeatures(). - - Once we've created the dock window we create a list widget with the - dock window as parent, then we populate the list and make it the - dock window's widget. Finally we add the dock widget to the \c - MainWindow using \c addDockWidget(), choosing to put it in the right - dock area. - - We undertake a similar process for the paragraphs dock window, - except that we don't restrict which dock areas it can be dragged to. - - Finally we set up the signal-slot connections. If the user clicks a - customer or a paragraph their \c currentTextChanged() signal will be - emitted and we connect these to \c insertCustomer() and - addParagraph() passing the text that was clicked. - - We briefly discuss the rest of the implementation, but have now - covered everything relating to dock windows. - - \snippet examples/mainwindows/dockwidgets/mainwindow.cpp 2 - - In this function we clear the QTextEdit so that it is empty. Next we - create a QTextCursor on the QTextEdit. We move the cursor to the - start of the document and create and format a frame. We then create - some character formats and a table format. We insert a table into - the document and insert the company's name and address into a table - using the table and character formats we created earlier. Then we - insert the skeleton of the letter including two markers \c NAME and - \c ADDRESS. We will also use the \c{Yours sincerely,} text as a marker. - - \snippet examples/mainwindows/dockwidgets/mainwindow.cpp 6 - - If the user clicks a customer we split the customer details into - pieces. We then look for the \c NAME marker using the \c find() - function. This function selects the text it finds, so when we call - \c insertText() with the customer's name the name replaces the marker. - We then look for the \c ADDRESS marker and replace it with each line - of the customer's address. Notice that we wrapped all the insertions - between a \c beginEditBlock() and \c endEditBlock() pair. This means - that the entire name and address insertion is treated as a single - operation by the QTextEdit, so a single undo will revert all the - insertions. - - \snippet examples/mainwindows/dockwidgets/mainwindow.cpp 7 - - This function works in a similar way to \c insertCustomer(). First - we look for the marker, in this case, \c {Yours sincerely,}, and then - replace it with the standard paragraph that the user clicked. Again - we use a \c beginEditBlock() ... \c endEditBlock() pair so that the - insertion can be undone as a single operation. - - \snippet examples/mainwindows/dockwidgets/mainwindow.cpp 3 - - Qt's QTextDocument class makes printing documents easy. We simply - take the QTextEdit's QTextDocument, set up the printer and print the - document. - - \snippet examples/mainwindows/dockwidgets/mainwindow.cpp 4 - - QTextEdit can output its contents in HTML format, so we prompt the - user for the name of an HTML file and if they provide one we simply - write the QTextEdit's contents in HTML format to the file. - - \snippet examples/mainwindows/dockwidgets/mainwindow.cpp 5 - - If the focus is in the QTextEdit, pressing \uicontrol Ctrl+Z undoes as - expected. But for the user's convenience we provide an - application-wide undo function that simply calls the QTextEdit's - undo: this means that the user can undo regardless of where the - focus is in the application. -*/ |
