[ <a href="motif-walkthrough-4.html">Next: Using Custom QDialogs</a> ]
|
|
<p> We start by using two of the <a href="dialogs.html">Qt Standard
|
|
Dialogs</a>: <a href="qfiledialog.html">QFileDialog</a> and <a href="qmessagebox.html">QMessageBox</a>. Both of these classes
|
|
provide useful static convenience functions.
|
|
<p> <center><table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="2" border="0">

|
|
</table></center>
|
|
<p> Each of these functions takes a <em>QWidget *parent</em> argument. If we
|
|
pass zero as the <em>parent</em> argument, then we will have dialogs that
|
|
are centered on the screen, instead of being centered over our main
|
|
window. We can have <a href="qmotifwidget.html">QMotifWidget</a> create our <tt>XmMainWindow</tt>, and we
|
|
can then use this class as the parent for both <a href="motif-extension.html#Motif">Motif</a> dialogs and Qt
|
|
dialogs.
|
|
<p> We need to include the appropriate headers for QMotifWidget and
|
|
<a href="qfiledialog.html">QFileDialog</a> in <tt>todo.cpp</tt>.
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
<pre></pre>
|
|
<p> Next, we make a few modifications to how the application is
|
|
initialized. We could initialize Xt/Motif and create the <tt>XtAppContext</tt> ourselves, but <a href="qmotif.html">QMotif</a> can do this for us.
|
|
We also let <a href="qapplication.html">QApplication</a> open the connection to the X server. Next,
|
|
we create a QMotifWidget, passing <tt>xmMainWindowWidgetClass</tt> as the <em>widgetclass</em> argument. We can now use the <a href="qmotifwidget.html#motifWidget">QMotifWidget::motifWidget</a>()
|
|
function to access the Motif widget. The shell widget is created
|
|
automatically by QMotifWidget. We use <tt>XtParent()</tt> to access it.
|
|
The top-level window is now a QMotifWidget, which means we can use it
|
|
as the parent for the Qt Standard Dialogs.
|
|
<p> <pre></pre>
|
|
<p> <h2> Replacing the <em>Open</em> and <em>Save As</em> Dialogs
|
|
</h2>
|
|
<a name="1"></a><p> First, we completely remove all use of the existing Motif file
|
|
selection dialog. We remove the <tt>Xm/FileSB.h</tt> include, the global <tt>file_dialog</tt> variable, and the code to create the dialog. We also
|
|
remove the <tt>PresentFDialog()</tt> callback function. None of this code
|
|
is needed to use <a href="qfiledialog.html">QFileDialog</a>.
|
|
<p> After removing the <tt>PresentFDialog()</tt> callback function, we need to
|
|
make <em>Open</em> and <em>Save As</em> popup-menu callbacks call the <tt>Open()</tt>
|
|
and <tt>Save()</tt> functions.
|
|
<p> First we must change the declaration of these two functions.
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
<p> <pre></pre>
|
|
<p> We also change the arguments to the callbacks. We pass the top-level
|
|
<a href="qmotifwidget.html">QMotifWidget</a> as the <tt>client_data</tt> to these functions, since we will
|
|
be using it as the parent for the QFileDialog.
|
|
<p> <pre></pre>
|
|
<p> <pre>
|
|
...
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p> <pre></pre>
|
|
<p> Next, we modify the <tt>Save()</tt> function to use
|
|
<a href="qfiledialog.html#getSaveFileName">QFileDialog::getSaveFileName</a>().
|
|
<p> <pre></pre>
|
|
<p> ... and the <tt>Open()</tt> function to use <a href="qfiledialog.html#getOpenFileName">QFileDialog::getOpenFileName</a>().
|
|
<p> <pre></pre>
|
|
<p> After we build the project, the application runs and operates as
|
|
expected. The difference is that the <em>Open</em> and <em>Save As</em> dialogs
|
|
now use <a href="qfiledialog.html">QFileDialog</a>.
|
|
<p> <h2> Replacing the <em>Page Delete</em> and <em>IO Error</em> Dialogs
|
|
</h2>
|
|
<a name="2"></a><p> The <em>Page Delete</em> dialog is created and used in <tt>actions.c</tt>. We
|
|
need to migrate this file to C++. We rename it to <tt>actions.cpp</tt>,
|
|
modify the project file and regenerate the <tt>Makefile</tt>.
|
|
<p> The changes required to make <tt>actions.cpp</tt> compile are minimal. We
|
|
need to wrap more C header files and global variables in an <tt>extern "C"</tt> block.
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
<p> <pre></pre>
|
|
<p> We need to forward declare the <tt>NewPage()</tt>, <tt>DeletePage()</tt>, <tt>EditPage()</tt> and <tt>SaveIt()</tt> functions so that the compiler generates
|
|
the correct symbols for these functions.
|
|
<p> <pre></pre>
|
|
<p> We need to fix a single invalid pointer cast.
|
|
<p> <pre></pre>
|
|
<p> And we need to change the variable named <em>new</em> to <em>newstr</em> in the <tt>Trim()</tt> function.
|
|
<p> We can now change the <tt>DeletePage()</tt> function to use
|
|
<a href="qmessagebox.html#information">QMessageBox::information</a>().
|
|
<p> First, we need to make sure we include the proper header for
|
|
<a href="qmessagebox.html">QMessageBox</a>.
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
<pre></pre>
|
|
<p> The code for <tt>DeletePage()</tt> looks like this:
|
|
<p> <pre></pre>
|
|
<p> At this point in the code, the page should be deleted. The code to do
|
|
this is in the <tt>DoDeletePage()</tt> function. We move the contents of <tt>DoDeletePage()</tt> to this point and remove the <tt>DoDeletePage()</tt> function
|
|
completely.
|
|
<p> Next, we change <tt>todo.cpp</tt> to pass the top-level <a href="qmotifwidget.html">QMotifWidget</a> as the
|
|
<tt>client_data</tt> tot he <tt>DeletePage()</tt> function.
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
<p> <pre></pre>
|
|
<p> The <em>IO Error</em> dialog is created and used in <tt>io.c</tt>. We need to
|
|
migrate this file to C++. We rename it to <tt>io.cpp</tt>, modify the
|
|
project file and regenerate the <tt>Makefile</tt>.
|
|
<p> The changes required to make <tt>io.cpp</tt> compile are minimal. We need
|
|
to wrap more C header files and global variables in an <tt>extern "C"</tt>
|
|
block.
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
<p> <pre></pre>
|
|
<p> We need to forward declare the <tt>ReadDB()</tt> and <tt>SaveDB()</tt> functions
|
|
so that the compiler generates the correct symbols for these
|
|
functions.
|
|
<p> <pre></pre>
|
|
<p> The <tt>ParseNewLines()</tt> function needs to be converted to proper C++.
|
|
<p> <pre></pre>
|
|
<p> The <tt>PrintWithNewLines()</tt> function also needs to be converted to proper
|
|
C++.
|
|
<p> <pre></pre>
|
|
<p> We can now change the <tt>ReadDB()</tt> and <tt>SaveDB()</tt> functions to use
|
|
<a href="qmessagebox.html#warning">QMessageBox::warning</a>().
|
|
<p> First, we need to make sure we include the proper header for <a href="qmessagebox.html">QMessageBox</a>.
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
<pre></pre>
|
|
<p> The code for <tt>ReadDB()</tt> looks like this:
|
|
<p> <pre></pre><pre>
|
|
...
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p> The code for <tt>SaveDB()</tt> looks like this:
|
|
<p> <pre></pre><pre>
|
|
...
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p> After we build the project, the application runs and operates as
|
|
expected. The difference is that the <em>Page Delete</em> and <em>IO Error</em> dialogs now use QMessageBox.
