- \title Shaped Clock Example
-
- The Shaped Clock example shows how to apply a widget mask to a top-level
- widget to produce a shaped window.
-
- \image shapedclock-example.png
-
- Widget masks are used to customize the shapes of top-level widgets by restricting
- the available area for painting. On some window systems, setting certain window flags
- will cause the window decoration (title bar, window frame, buttons) to be disabled,
- allowing specially-shaped windows to be created. In this example, we use this feature
- to create a circular window containing an analog clock.
-
- Since this example's window does not provide a \uicontrol File menu or a close
- button, we provide a context menu with an \uicontrol Exit entry so that the example
- can be closed. Click the right mouse button over the window to open this menu.
-
- \section1 ShapedClock Class Definition
-
- The \c ShapedClock class is based on the \c AnalogClock class defined in the
- \l{Analog Clock Example}{Analog Clock} example. The whole class definition is
- presented below:
-
- \snippet examples/widgets/shapedclock/shapedclock.h 0
-
- The \l{QWidget::paintEvent()}{paintEvent()} implementation is the same as that found
- in the \c AnalogClock class. We implement \l{QWidget::sizeHint()}{sizeHint()}
- so that we don't have to resize the widget explicitly. We also provide an event
- handler for resize events. This allows us to update the mask if the clock is resized.
-
- Since the window containing the clock widget will have no title bar, we provide
- implementations for \l{QWidget::mouseMoveEvent()}{mouseMoveEvent()} and
- \l{QWidget::mousePressEvent()}{mousePressEvent()} to allow the clock to be dragged
- around the screen. The \c dragPosition variable lets us keep track of where the user
- last clicked on the widget.
-
- \section1 ShapedClock Class Implementation
-
- The \c ShapedClock constructor performs many of the same tasks as the \c AnalogClock
- constructor. We set up a timer and connect it to the widget's update() slot:
-
- \snippet examples/widgets/shapedclock/shapedclock.cpp 0
-
- We inform the window manager that the widget is not to be decorated with a window
- frame by setting the Qt::FramelessWindowHint flag on the widget. As a result, we need
- to provide a way for the user to move the clock around the screen.
-
- Mouse button events are delivered to the \c mousePressEvent() handler:
-
- \snippet examples/widgets/shapedclock/shapedclock.cpp 1
-
- If the left mouse button is pressed over the widget, we record the displacement in
- global (screen) coordinates between the top-left position of the widget's frame (even
- when hidden) and the point where the mouse click occurred. This displacement will be
- used if the user moves the mouse while holding down the left button. Since we acted
- on the event, we accept it by calling its \l{QEvent::accept()}{accept()} function.
-
- \image shapedclock-dragging.png
-
- The \c mouseMoveEvent() handler is called if the mouse is moved over the widget.
-
- \snippet examples/widgets/shapedclock/shapedclock.cpp 2
-
- If the left button is held down while the mouse is moved, the top-left corner of the
- widget is moved to the point given by subtracting the \c dragPosition from the current
- cursor position in global coordinates. If we drag the widget, we also accept the event.
-
- The \c paintEvent() function is given for completeness. See the
- \l{Analog Clock Example}{Analog Clock} example for a description of the process used
- to render the clock.
-
- \snippet examples/widgets/shapedclock/shapedclock.cpp 3
-
- In the \c resizeEvent() handler, we re-use some of the code from the \c paintEvent()
- to determine the region of the widget that is visible to the user:
-
- \snippet examples/widgets/shapedclock/shapedclock.cpp 4
-
- Since the clock face is a circle drawn in the center of the widget, this is the region
- we use as the mask.
-
- Although the lack of a window frame may make it difficult for the user to resize the
- widget on some platforms, it will not necessarily be impossible. The \c resizeEvent()
- function ensures that the widget mask will always be updated if the widget's dimensions
- change, and additionally ensures that it will be set up correctly when the widget is
- first displayed.
-
- Finally, we implement the \c sizeHint() for the widget so that it is given a reasonable
- default size when it is first shown:
-
- \snippet examples/widgets/shapedclock/shapedclock.cpp 5
-
- \section1 Notes on Widget Masks
-
- Since QRegion allows arbitrarily complex regions to be created, widget masks can be
- made to suit the most unconventionally-shaped windows, and even allow widgets to be
- displayed with holes in them.
-
- Widget masks can also be constructed by using the contents of pixmap to define the
- opaque part of the widget. For a pixmap with an alpha channel, a suitable mask can be
- obtained with QPixmap::mask().
