But some changes were inevitable in an effort to + make Qt a better framework. + + In this topic we summarize those changes in Qt Widgets, and provide + guidance to handle them. + + \section1 Kernel classes + + \section2 The QWidget class + + The virtual QWidget::enterEvent() handler now receives a QEnterEvent* + parameter which has information about the pointer position, rather than + a plain QEvent*. + + \section2 QDesktopWidget and QApplication::desktop() + + QDesktopWidget was already deprecated in Qt 5, and has been removed in + Qt 6, together with QApplication::desktop(). + + QScreen provides equivalent functionality to query for information about + available screens, screen that form a virtual desktop, and screen + geometries. + + Use QWidget::setScreen() to create a QWidget on a specific display; + note that this does not move a widget to a screen in a virtual desktop + setup. + + \section2 QAction, QActionGroup + + These classes have been moved into the QtGui module. Member functions that + depend on types defined in QtWidgets (such as QAction::menu() and + QAction::setMenu()) are implemented as templates that will be instantiated + only when called. + + \section1 Widgets + + \section2 The QAbstractButton class + + The default timeout parameter for QAbstractButton::animateClick() is + removed to allow modern connection syntax without the need for qOverload. + + \section2 The QComboBox class + + The QComboBox::setModel() function is now virtual. + + \section2 The QDateTimeEdit class + + When QDateTimeEdit::setDateTime() is called with a date-time whose + time-spec doesn't match that of the QDateTimeEdit instance, the + date-time is converted to the time-spec of the QDateTimeEdit. This + gives a date-time that describes the same instant in time, but + does so in the same terms as the QDateTimeEdit uses. Previously, + the date and time from the passed date-time were combined with the + time-spec of the widget, ignoring the time-spec of the date-time; + this could describe a different point in time than the one + described by the date-time passed. + + \section1 ItemViews + + \section2 The QAbstractItemView class + + The virtual viewOptions() method that previously returned a QStyleOptionViewItem + object has been renamed to initViewItemOption, and initializes a + QStyleOptionViewItem object that's passed in through a pointer. + + \section1 Styling Classes and related APIs + + All versioned QStyleOption subclasses are consolidated, and the version + numbers are reset to 1. + + The various initStyleOption() methods in widget classes are now virtual. + + \section2 Style sheet changes + + Styling a widget by its property in Qt 5 vs Qt 6 is different, especially if the + property is an enum. In Qt 5, the selector value for such a property is the integer + equivalent of the enum value, while in Qt 6 the string value is used. The following + example demonstrates this difference: + + \code + // Qt 5 style sheet + QToolButton[popupMode="1"] { + padding-right: 20px; + } + \endcode + + \code + // Qt 6 style sheet + QToolButton[popupMode=MenuButtonPopup] { + padding-right: 20px; + } + \endcode + + \section1 Utility Classes + + \section2 QUndoCommand, QUndoStack, and QUndoGroup + + The widget independent classes of the Undo/Redo framework have been moved + into the QtGui module. +*/ |
