|
|
|
|
|
|
The QIMEvent class provides parameters for input method events.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<p> Input method events are sent to widgets when an input method is
|
|
used to enter text into a widget. Input methods are widely used to
|
|
enter text in Asian and other complex languages.
|
|
<p> The events are of interest to widgets that accept keyboard input
|
|
and want to be able to correctly handle complex languages. Text
|
|
input in such languages is usually a three step process.
|
|
<p> <ol type=1>
|
|
<li> <b>Starting to Compose</b><br>
|
|
When the user presses the first key on a keyboard an input context
|
|
is created. This input context will contain a string with the
|
|
typed characters.
|
|
<p> <li> <b>Composing</b><br>
|
|
With every new key pressed, the input method will try to create a
|
|
matching string for the text typed so far. While the input context
|
|
is active, the user can only move the cursor inside the string
|
|
belonging to this input context.
|
|
<p> <li> <b>Completing</b><br>
|
|
At some point, e.g. when the user presses the Spacebar, they get
|
|
to this stage, where they can choose from a number of strings that
|
|
match the text they have typed so far. The user can press Enter to
|
|
confirm their choice or Escape to cancel the input; in either case
|
|
the input context will be closed.
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p> Note that the particular key presses used for a given input
|
|
context may differ from those we've mentioned here, i.e. they may
|
|
not be Spacebar, Enter and Escape.
|
|
<p> These three stages are represented by three different types of
|
|
events. The IMStartEvent, IMComposeEvent and IMEndEvent. When a
|
|
new input context is created, an IMStartEvent will be sent to the
|
|
widget and delivered to the <a href="qwidget.html#imStartEvent">QWidget::imStartEvent</a>() function.
|
|
The widget can then update internal data structures to reflect
|
|
this.
|
|
<p> After this, an IMComposeEvent will be sent to the widget for
|
|
every key the user presses. It will contain the current
|
|
composition string the widget has to show and the current cursor
|
|
position within the composition string. This string is temporary
|
|
and can change with every key the user types, so the widget will
|
|
need to store the state before the composition started (the state
|
|
it had when it received the IMStartEvent). IMComposeEvents will be
|
|
delivered to the <a href="qwidget.html#imComposeEvent">QWidget::imComposeEvent</a>() function.
|
|
<p> Usually, widgets try to mark the part of the text that is part of
|
|
the current composition in a way that is visible to the user. A
|
|
commonly used visual cue is to use a dotted underline.
|
|
<p> After the user has selected the final string, an IMEndEvent will
|
|
be sent to the widget. The event contains the final string the
|
|
user selected, and could be empty if they canceled the
|
|
composition. This string should be accepted as the final text the
|
|
user entered, and the intermediate composition string should be
|
|
cleared. These events are delivered to <a href="qwidget.html#imEndEvent">QWidget::imEndEvent</a>().
|
|
<p> If the user clicks another widget, taking the focus out of the
|
|
widget where the composition is taking place the IMEndEvent will
|
|
be sent and the string it holds will be the result of the
|
|
composition up to that point (which may be an empty string).

|

|
|
<h3 class=fn><a name="QIMEvent"></a>QIMEvent::QIMEvent ( <a href="qevent.html#Type-enum">Type</a> type, const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & text, int cursorPosition )
|
|
</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p> Constructs a new QIMEvent with the accept flag set to FALSE. <em>type</em> can be one of QEvent::IMStartEvent, QEvent::IMComposeEvent
|
|
or QEvent::IMEndEvent. <em>text</em> contains the current compostion
|
|
string and <em>cursorPosition</em> the current position of the cursor
|
|
inside <em>text</em>.
|
|
|
|
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="accept"></a>QIMEvent::accept ()
|
|
</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p> Sets the accept flag of the input method event object.
|
|
<p> Setting the accept parameter indicates that the receiver of the
|
|
event processed the input method event.
|
|
<p> The accept flag is not set by default.
|
|
<p> <p>See also <a href="#ignore">ignore</a>().
|
|
|
|
<h3 class=fn>int <a name="cursorPos"></a>QIMEvent::cursorPos () const
|
|
</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p> Returns the current cursor position inside the composition string.
|
|
Will return -1 for IMStartEvent and IMEndEvent.
|
|
|
|
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="ignore"></a>QIMEvent::ignore ()
|
|
</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p> Clears the accept flag parameter of the input method event object.
|
|
<p> Clearing the accept parameter indicates that the event receiver
|
|
does not want the input method event.
|
|
<p> The accept flag is cleared by default.
|
|
<p> <p>See also <a href="#accept">accept</a>().
|
|
|
|
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="isAccepted"></a>QIMEvent::isAccepted () const
|
|
</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p> Returns TRUE if the receiver of the event processed the event;
|
|
otherwise returns FALSE.
|
|
|
|
<h3 class=fn>int <a name="selectionLength"></a>QIMEvent::selectionLength () const
|
|
</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p> Returns the number of characters in the composition string (
|
|
starting at <a href="#cursorPos">cursorPos</a>() ) that should be marked as selected by the
|
|
input widget receiving the event.
|
|
Will return 0 for IMStartEvent and IMEndEvent.
|
|
|
|
<h3 class=fn>const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & <a name="text"></a>QIMEvent::text () const
|
|
</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p> Returns the composition text. This is a null string for an
|
|
IMStartEvent, and contains the final accepted string (which may be
|
|
empty) in the IMEndEvent.
