|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The QMimeSourceFactory class is an extensible provider of mime-typed data.
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p> A QMimeSourceFactory provides an abstract interface to a
|
||
|
|
collection of information. Each piece of information is
|
||
|
|
represented by a <a href="qmimesource.html">QMimeSource</a> object which can be examined and
|
||
|
|
converted to concrete data types by functions such as
|
||
|
|
<a href="qimagedrag.html#canDecode">QImageDrag::canDecode</a>() and <a href="qimagedrag.html#decode">QImageDrag::decode</a>().
|
||
|
|
<p> The base QMimeSourceFactory can be used in two ways: as an
|
||
|
|
abstraction of a collection of files or as specifically stored
|
||
|
|
data. For it to access files, call <a href="#setFilePath">setFilePath</a>() before accessing
|
||
|
|
data. For stored data, call <a href="#setData">setData</a>() for each item (there are
|
||
|
|
also convenience functions, e.g. <a href="#setText">setText</a>(), <a href="#setImage">setImage</a>() and
|
||
|
|
<a href="#setPixmap">setPixmap</a>(), that simply call setData() with appropriate
|
||
|
|
parameters).
|
||
|
|
<p> The rich text widgets, <a href="qtextedit.html">QTextEdit</a> and <a href="qtextbrowser.html">QTextBrowser</a>, use
|
||
|
|
QMimeSourceFactory to resolve references such as images or links
|
||
|
|
within rich text documents. They either access the default factory
|
||
|
|
(see <a href="#defaultFactory">defaultFactory</a>()) or their own (see
|
||
|
|
<a href="qtextedit.html#setMimeSourceFactory">QTextEdit::setMimeSourceFactory</a>()). Other classes that are
|
||
|
|
capable of displaying rich text (such as <a href="qlabel.html">QLabel</a>, <a href="qwhatsthis.html">QWhatsThis</a> or
|
||
|
|
<a href="qmessagebox.html">QMessageBox</a>) always use the default factory.
|
||
|
|
<p> A factory can also be used as a container to store data associated
|
||
|
|
with a name. This technique is useful whenever rich text contains
|
||
|
|
images that are stored in the program itself, not loaded from the
|
||
|
|
hard disk. Your program may, for example, define some image data
|
||
|
|
as:
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
static const char* myimage_data[]={
|
||
|
|
"...",
|
||
|
|
...
|
||
|
|
"..."};
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p> To be able to use this image within some rich text, for example
|
||
|
|
inside a QLabel, you must create a <a href="qimage.html">QImage</a> from the raw data and
|
||
|
|
insert it into the factory with a unique name:
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
QMimeSourceFactory::<a href="#defaultFactory">defaultFactory</a>()->setImage( "myimage", QImage(myimage_data) );
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p> Now you can create a rich text QLabel with
|
||
|
|
<p> <pre>
|
||
|
|
<a href="qlabel.html">QLabel</a>* label = new <a href="qlabel.html">QLabel</a>(
|
||
|
|
"Rich text with embedded image:<img source=\"myimage\">"
|
||
|
|
"Isn't that <em>cute</em>?" );
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p> When no longer needed, you can clear the data from the factory:
|
||
|
|
<p> <pre>
|
||
|
|
delete label;
|
||
|
|
QMimeSourceFactory::<a href="#defaultFactory">defaultFactory</a>()->setData( "myimage", 0 );
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|

||

<h3 class=fn><a name="QMimeSourceFactory"></a>QMimeSourceFactory::QMimeSourceFactory ()
|
||
|
|
</h3>
|
||
|
|
Constructs a QMimeSourceFactory that has no file path and no
|
||
|
|
stored content.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3 class=fn><a name="~QMimeSourceFactory"></a>QMimeSourceFactory::~QMimeSourceFactory ()<tt> [virtual]</tt>
|
||
|
|
</h3>
|
||
|
|
Destroys the QMimeSourceFactory, deleting all stored content.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="addFactory"></a>QMimeSourceFactory::addFactory ( <a href="qmimesourcefactory.html">QMimeSourceFactory</a> * f )<tt> [static]</tt>
|
||
|
|
</h3>
|
||
|
|
Adds the QMimeSourceFactory <em>f</em> to the list of available
|
||
|
|
mimesource factories. If the <a href="#defaultFactory">defaultFactory</a>() can't resolve a
|
||
|
|
<a href="#data">data</a>() it iterates over the list of installed mimesource factories
|
||
|
|
until the data can be resolved.
|
||
|
|
<p> <p>See also <a href="#removeFactory">removeFactory</a>().
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="addFilePath"></a>QMimeSourceFactory::addFilePath ( const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & p )
|
||
|
|
</h3>
|
||
|
|
Adds another search path, <em>p</em> to the existing search paths.
|
||
|
|
<p> <p>See also <a href="#setFilePath">setFilePath</a>().
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3 class=fn>const <a href="qmimesource.html">QMimeSource</a> * <a name="data"></a>QMimeSourceFactory::data ( const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & abs_name ) const<tt> [virtual]</tt>
|
||
|
|
</h3>
|
||
|
|
Returns a reference to the data associated with <em>abs_name</em>. The
|
||
|
|
return value remains valid only until the next <a href="#data">data</a>() or <a href="#setData">setData</a>()
|
||
|
|
call, so you should immediately decode the result.
|
||
|
|
<p> If there is no data associated with <em>abs_name</em> in the factory's
|
||
|
|
store, the factory tries to access the local filesystem. If <em>abs_name</em> isn't an absolute file name, the factory will search for
|
||
|
|
it in all defined paths (see <a href="#setFilePath">setFilePath</a>()).
|
||
|
|
<p> The factory understands all the image formats supported by
|
||
|
|
<a href="qimageio.html">QImageIO</a>. Any other mime types are determined by the file name
|
||
|
|
extension. The default settings are
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
<a href="#setExtensionType">setExtensionType</a>("html", "text/html;charset=iso8859-1");
|
||
|
|
<a href="#setExtensionType">setExtensionType</a>("htm", "text/html;charset=iso8859-1");
|
||
|
|
<a href="#setExtensionType">setExtensionType</a>("txt", "text/plain");
|
||
|
|
<a href="#setExtensionType">setExtensionType</a>("xml", "text/xml;charset=UTF-8");
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The effect of these is that file names ending in "txt" will be
|
||
|
|
treated as text encoded in the local encoding; those ending in
|
||
|
|
"xml" will be treated as text encoded in Unicode UTF-8 encoding.
|
||
|
|
The text/html type is treated specially, since the encoding can be
|
||
|
|
specified in the html file itself. "html" or "htm" will be treated
|
||
|
|
as text encoded in the encoding specified by the html meta tag, if
|
||
|
|
none could be found, the charset of the mime type will be used.
|
||
|
|
The text subtype ("html", "plain", or "xml") does not affect the
|
||
|
|
factory, but users of the factory may behave differently. We
|
||
|
|
recommend creating "xml" files where practical. These files can be
|
||
|
|
viewed regardless of the runtime encoding and can encode any
|
||
|
|
Unicode characters without resorting to encoding definitions
|
||
|
|
inside the file.
|
||
|
|
<p> Any file data that is not recognized will be retrieved as a
|
||
|
|
<a href="qmimesource.html">QMimeSource</a> providing the "application/octet-stream" mime type,
|
||
|
|
meaning uninterpreted binary data.
|
||
|
|
<p> You can add further extensions or change existing ones with
|
||
|
|
subsequent calls to <a href="#setExtensionType">setExtensionType</a>(). If the extension mechanism
|
||
|
|
is not sufficient for your problem domain, you can inherit
|
||
|
|
QMimeSourceFactory and reimplement this function to perform some
|
||
|
|
more specialized mime-type detection. The same applies if you want
|
||
|
|
to use the mime source factory to access URL referenced data over
|
||
|
|
a network.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.

|
|
<p> A convenience function. See <a href="#data">data</a>(const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a>& abs_name). The

|
||
|
|
Returns the application-wide default mime source factory. This
|
||
|
|
factory is used by rich text rendering classes such as
|
||
|
|
<a href="qsimplerichtext.html">QSimpleRichText</a>, <a href="qwhatsthis.html">QWhatsThis</a> and <a href="qmessagebox.html">QMessageBox</a> to resolve named
|
||
|
|
references within rich text documents. It serves also as the

|
initial factory for the more complex render widgets, <a href="qtextedit.html">QTextEdit</a> and
