- \example dialogs/extension
- \title Extension Example
- \ingroup examples-dialogs
-
- \brief The Extension example shows how to add an extension to a QDialog
- using the QAbstractButton::toggled() signal and the
- QWidget::setVisible() slot.
-
- \image extension-example.png Screenshot of the Extension example
-
- The Extension application lets the user add search parameters in
- a dialog and launch a simple or advanced search.
-
- The simple search has two options: \uicontrol {Match case} and \uicontrol
- {Search from start}. The advanced search offers search for \uicontrol {Whole words},
- \uicontrol {Search backward}, and \uicontrol {Search selection}. The
- application starts with simple search as the default. Click the \uicontrol More button
- to show the advanced search options:

-
- \section1 FindDialog Class Definition
-
- The \c FindDialog class inherits QDialog. QDialog is the
- base class for dialog windows. A dialog window is a top-level
- window mostly used for short-term tasks and brief communications
- with the user.
-
- \snippet dialogs/extension/finddialog.h 0
-
- The \c FindDialog widget is the main application widget, and
- displays the application's search options and controlling
- buttons.
-
- In addition to the constructor, there are several child widgets:
-
- \list
- \li A QLineEdit with an associated QLabel to let the
- user type a word to search for.
- \li Several \l {QCheckBox}{QCheckBox}es to facilitate the search options.
- \li Three \l {QPushButton}{QPushButton}s:
- \list
- \li the \uicontrol Find button to start a search
- \li the \uicontrol More button to enable an advanced search
- \li a QWidget representing the application's extension part
- \endlist
- \endlist
-
- \section1 FindDialog Class Implementation
-
- Create the standard child widgets for the simple search in the constructor:
- the QLineEdit with the associated QLabel, two {QCheckBox}es and all the
- \l {QPushButton}{QPushButton}s.
-
- \snippet dialogs/extension/finddialog.cpp 0
-
- This snippet illustrates how you can define a shortcut key
- for a widget. A shortcut should be defined by putting the ampersand
- character (\c &) in front of the letter that should
- become the shortcut.
- For example, for \uicontrol {Find what}, pressing \uicontrol Alt
- and \uicontrol w transfers focus to the QLineEdit widget.
- Shortcuts can also be used for checking on or off a checkmark.
- For example, pressing \uicontrol Alt and \uicontrol c puts the check mark
- on \uicontrol {Match Case} if it was unchecked and vice versa.
- It is the QLabel::setBuddy() method that links a widget to the shortcut
- character if it has been defined.
-
- Set the \uicontrol Find button's default property to true, using the
- QPushButton::setDefault() function. Then the push button will be
- pressed if the user presses the Enter (or Return) key. Note that a
- QDialog can only have one default button.
-
- \snippet dialogs/extension/finddialog.cpp 2
-
- Create the extension widget, and the \l {QCheckBox}{QCheckBox}es associated
- with the advanced search options.
-
- \snippet dialogs/extension/finddialog.cpp 3
-
- Now that the extension widget is created, connect the \uicontrol
- More button's \l{QAbstractButton::toggled()}{toggled()} signal to
- the extension widget's \l{QWidget::setVisible()}{setVisible()} slot.
-
- The QAbstractButton::toggled() signal is emitted whenever a
- checkable button changes its state. The signal's argument is true
- if the button is checked, or false if the button is unchecked. The
- QWidget::setVisible() slot sets the widget's visible status. If
- the status is true the widget is shown, otherwise the widget is
- hidden.
-
- Since the \uicontrol More button is checkable, the connection makes
- sure that the extension widget is shown depending on the state of
- the \uicontrol More button.
-
- Create checkboxes associated with the advanced search options in
- a layout installed on the extension widget.
-
- \snippet dialogs/extension/finddialog.cpp 4
-
- Before creating the main layout, create several child layouts
- for the widgets. First align the QLabel and its buddy, the
- QLineEdit, using a QHBoxLayout. Then align the QLabel and the QLineEdit
- vertically with the checkboxes associated with the simple search,
- using a QVBoxLayout. Create also a QVBoxLayout for the buttons.
- Finally, lay out the two latter layouts and the extension widget
- using a QGridLayout.
-
- \snippet dialogs/extension/finddialog.cpp 5
-
- Hide the extension widget using the QWidget::hide()
- function, making the application only show the simple search
- options when it starts. When the user wants to access the advanced
- search options, the dialog only needs to change the visibility of
- the extension widget. Qt's layout management takes care of the
- dialog's appearance.
