< p > This document describes porting applications from TQt 2.x to TQt 3.x.
< p > The TQt 3.x series is not binary compatible with the 2.x series. This
means programs compiled for TQt 2.x must be recompiled to work with TQt
3.x. TQt 3.x is also not completely < em > source< / em > compatible with 2.x,
however all points of incompatibility cause compiler errors or
run-time messages (rather than mysterious results). TQt 3.x includes
many additional features and discards obsolete functionality. Porting
from TQt 2.x to TQt 3.x is straightforward, and once completed makes
the considerable additional power and flexibility of TQt 3.x available
for use in your applications.
< p > To port code from TQt 2.x to TQt 3.x:
< p > < ol type = 1 >
< p > < li > Briefly read the porting notes below to get an idea of what to expect.
< li > Be sure your code compiles and runs well on all your target platforms
with TQt 2.x.
< li > Recompile with TQt 3.x. For each error, search below for related
identifiers (e.g. function names, class names). This document
mentions all relevant identifiers to help you get the information
you need at the cost of being a little verbose.
< li > If you get stuck, ask on the < a href = "http://qt-interest.trolltech.com/" > qt-interest< / a > mailing list, or Trolltech Technical Support if
you're a registered licensee.

< h2 > Link Errors on Windows
< / h2 >
< a name = "1" > < / a > < p > On Windows, originally in TQt 2.x, the default configuration of the TQt
library is static. If you just use the default configuration you
don't need to set certain preprocessor defines. In TQt 3.0, the
default configuration of the TQt library is to build it as a shared
library, therefore the preprocessor define < tt > QT_DLL< / tt > is needed.
< p > If you use tmake with TQt 2.x, and now use qmake with TQt 3.x, then the
cause of the problem is with the project file. In the project file,
there is usually line that looks like:
< p > < tt > CONFIG< / tt > = ...
< p > this should be changed to
< p > < tt > CONFIG< / tt > += ...
< p > so that qmake can look at the configuration that TQt was built with and
set any relevant preprocessor defines in the makefile.
< p > < a name = "Headers" > < / a >
< h2 > Header file inclusion changes
< / h2 >
< a name = "2" > < / a > < p > TQt 3.x remove some unnecessary nested #include directives from
header files. This speeds up compilation when you don't need those
nested header files. But in some cases you will find you need to add
an extra #include to your files.
< p > For example, if you get a message about < a href = "ntqstringlist.html" > TQStringList< / a > or its functions
not being defined, then add < tt > #include < ntqstringlist.h> < / tt > at
the top of the file giving the error.
< p > Header files that you might need to add #include directives for include:
< ul >
< li > < tt > < ntqcursor.h> < / tt >
< li > < tt > < ntqpainter.h> < / tt >
< li > < tt > < ntqpen.h> < / tt >
< li > < tt > < ntqstringlist.h> < / tt >
< li > < tt > < ntqregexp.h> < / tt >
< li > < tt > < ntqstrlist.h> < / tt >
< li > < tt > < ntqstyle.h> < / tt >
< li > < tt > < ntqvaluelist.h> < / tt >
< / ul >
< p > < h2 > Namespace
< / h2 >
< a name = "3" > < / a > < p > TQt 3.x is namespace clean. A few global identifiers that had been
left in TQt 2.x have been discarded.

special < a href = "ntqt.html" > TQt< / a > class defined in ntqnamespace.h. If you get compilation
errors about these being missing (unlikely, since most of your code will
be in classes that inherit from the TQt namespace class), then apply
the following changes:
< p > < ul >

This might affect programs that use TQButtonGroups that contain a

< p > < h2 > < a href = "ntqfont.html" > TQFont< / a >
< / h2 >
< a name = "10" > < / a > < p > The internals of TQFont have changed significantly between TQt 2.2 and
TQt 3.0, to give better Unicode support and to make developing
internationalized applications easier. The original API has been
preserved with minimal changes. The CharSet enum and its related
functions have disappeared. This is because TQt now handles all charset
related issues internally, and removes this burden from the developer.
< p > If you used the CharSet enum or its related functions, e.g
TQFont::charSet() or TQFont::setCharSet(), just remove them from your
code. There are a few functions that took a TQFont::CharSet as a
parameter; in these cases simply remove the charset from the
parameter list.

< / h2 >
< a name = "13" > < / a > < p > The paintBranches() function in TQt 2.x had a GUIStyle parameter; this

< p > < h2 > TQMultiLineEdit
< / h2 >
< a name = "15" > < / a > < p > The TQMultiLineEdit was a simple editor widget in previous TQt versions.
Since TQt 3.0 includes a new richtext engine, which also supports
editing, TQMultiLineEdit is obsolete. For the sake of compatibility
TQMultiLineEdit is still provided. It is now a subclass of < a href = "ntqtextedit.html" > TQTextEdit< / a >
which wraps the old TQMultiLineEdit so that it is mostly source
compatible to keep old applications working.
< p > For new applications and when maintaining existing applications we
recommend that you use TQTextEdit instead of TQMultiLineEdit wherever
possible.
< p > Although most of the old TQMultiLineEdit API is still available, there
is one important difference. The old TQMultiLineEdit operated in terms
of lines, whereas TQTextEdit operates in terms of paragraphs. This is
because lines change all the time during wordwrap, whereas paragraphs
remain paragraphs. The consequence of this change is that functions
which previously operated on lines, e.g. numLines(), textLine(), etc.,
now work on paragraphs.
< p > Also the function getString() has been removed since it
published the internal data structure.
< p > In most cases, applications that used TQMultiLineEdit will continue to
work without problems. Applications that worked in terms of lines may
require some porting.
< p > The source code for the old 2.x version of TQMultiLineEdit can be found
in < tt > $TQTDIR/src/attic/qtmultilineedit.h/cpp< / tt > . Note that the class has
been renamed to TQtMultiLineEdit to avoid name clashes. If you really
need to keep compatibility with the old TQMultiLineEdit, simply include
this class in your project and rename TQMultiLineEdit to
TQtMultiLineEdit throughout.
< p > < h2 > < a href = "ntqprinter.html" > TQPrinter< / a >
< / h2 >
< a name = "16" > < / a > < p > TQPrinter has undergone some changes, to make it more flexible and
to ensure it has the same runtime behaviour on both Unix and Windows. In 2.x,
TQPrinter behaved differently on Windows and Unix, when using view
transformations on the < a href = "ntqpainter.html" > TQPainter< / a > . This has changed now, and TQPrinter
behaves consistently across all platforms. A compatibilty mode has been
added that forces the old behaviour, to ease porting from TQt 2.x
to TQt 3.x. This compatibilty mode can be enabled by passing the
TQPrinter::Compatible flag to the TQPrinter constructor.
< p > On X11, TQPrinter used to generate encapsulated postscript when
fullPage() was TRUE and only one page was printed. This does not
happen by default anymore, providing a more consistent printing output.
< p > < h2 > < a href = "ntqregexp.html" > TQRegExp< / a >
< / h2 >
< a name = "17" > < / a > < p > The < a href = "ntqregexp.html" > TQRegExp< / a > class has been rewritten to support many of the features of Perl
regular expressions. Both the < a href = "ntqregexp.html#regular-expression" > regular expression< / a > syntax and the TQRegExp
interface have been modified.
< p > Be also aware that < tt > < ntqregexp.h> < / tt > is no longer included
automatically when you include < tt > < ntqstringlist.h> < / tt > . See
< a href = "#Headers" > above< / a > for details.
< p >
< p > < h3 > New special characters
< / h3 >
< a name = "17-1" > < / a > < p > There are five new special characters: < tt > (< / tt > , < tt > )< / tt > , < tt > {< / tt > ,
< tt > |< / tt > and < tt > }< / tt > (parentheses, braces and pipe). When porting old
regular expressions, you must add < tt > \ < / tt > (backslash) in front of any
of these (actually, < tt > \ \ < / tt > in C++ strings), unless it is already
there.
< p > Example: Old code like
< pre >
< a href = "ntqregexp.html" > TQRegExp< / a > rx( "([0-9|]*\\)" ); // works in TQt 2.x
< / pre >
should be converted into
< pre >
< a href = "ntqregexp.html" > TQRegExp< / a > rx( "\\([0-9\\|]*\\)" ); // works in TQt 2.x and 3.x
< / pre >
(Within character classes, the backslash is not necessary in front of certain
characters, e.g. < tt > |< / tt > , but it doesn't hurt.)
< p > Wildcard patterns need no conversion. Here are two examples:
< pre >
< a href = "ntqregexp.html" > TQRegExp< / a > wild( "(*.*)" );
wild.< a href = "ntqregexp.html#setWildcard" > setWildcard< / a > ( TRUE );
< / pre >
< pre >
// TRUE as third argument means wildcard
< a href = "ntqregexp.html" > TQRegExp< / a > wild( "(*.*)", FALSE, TRUE );
< / pre >
However, when they are used, make sure to use < a href = "ntqregexp.html#exactMatch" > TQRegExp::exactMatch< / a > ()
rather than the obsolete < a href = "ntqregexp.html#match" > TQRegExp::match< / a > (). TQRegExp::match(), like
TQRegExp::find(), tries to find a match somewhere in the target
string, while TQRegExp::exactMatch() tries to match the whole target
string.
< p > < h3 > < a href = "ntqregexp.html#operator-eq" > TQRegExp::operator=< / a > ()
< / h3 >
< a name = "17-2" > < / a > < p > This function has been replaced by < a href = "ntqregexp.html#setPattern" > TQRegExp::setPattern< / a > () in TQt 2.2.
Old code such as
< pre >
< a href = "ntqregexp.html" > TQRegExp< / a > rx( "alpha" );
rx.< a href = "ntqregexp.html#setCaseSensitive" > setCaseSensitive< / a > ( FALSE );
rx.< a href = "ntqregexp.html#setWildcard" > setWildcard< / a > ( TRUE );
rx = "beta";
< / pre >
still compiles with TQt 3, but produces a different result (the case sensitivity
and wildcard options are forgotten). This way,
< pre >
rx = "beta";
< / pre >
is the same as
< pre >
rx = TQRegExp( "beta" );
< / pre >
which is what one expects.
< p > < h3 > TQRegExp::match()
< / h3 >
< a name = "17-3" > < / a > < p > The following function is now obsolete, as it has an unwieldy
parameter list and was poorly named:
< ul >
< li > bool < a href = "ntqregexp.html#match" > TQRegExp::match< / a > ( const < a href = "ntqstring.html" > TQString< / a > & str, int index = 0,
int * len = 0, bool indexIsStart = TRUE ) const
< / ul >
It will be removed in a future version of TQt. Its < a href = "ntqregexp.html#match" > documentation< / a > explains how to replace it.
< p > < h3 > TQRegExp::find()
< / h3 >
< a name = "17-4" > < / a > < p > This function was removed, after a brief appearance in TQt 2.2. Its
name clashed with < a href = "ntqstring.html#find" > TQString::find< / a > (). Use < a href = "ntqregexp.html#search" > TQRegExp::search< / a > () or < a href = "ntqstring.html#find" > TQString::find< / a > () instead.
< p > < h3 > < a href = "ntqstring.html#findRev" > TQString::findRev< / a > () and < a href = "ntqstring.html#contains" > TQString::contains< / a > ()
< / h3 >
< a name = "17-5" > < / a > < p > < a href = "ntqstring.html#findRev" > TQString::findRev< / a > ()'s and < a href = "ntqstring.html#contains" > TQString::contains< / a > ()'s semantics have changed
between 2.0 and 3.0 to be more consistent with the other overloads.
< p > For example,
< pre >
TQString( "" ).contains( TQRegExp("") )
< / pre >
returns 1 in TQt 2.0; it returns 0 in TQt 3.0. Also, "^" now really means
start of input, so
< pre >
TQString( "Heisan Hoppsan" ).contains( TQRegExp("^.*$") )
< / pre >
returns 1, not 13 or 14.
< p > This change affect very few existing programs.
< p > < h3 > < a href = "ntqstring.html#replace" > TQString::replace< / a > ()
< / h3 >
< a name = "17-6" > < / a > < p > With TQt 1.0 and 2.0, a < a href = "ntqstring.html" > TQString< / a > is converted implicitly into a < a href = "ntqregexp.html" > TQRegExp< / a >
as the first argument to TQString::replace():
< pre >
< a href = "ntqstring.html" > TQString< / a > text = fetch_it_from_somewhere();
text.< a href = "ntqstring.html#replace" > replace< / a > ( TQString("[A-Z]+"), "" );
< / pre >
With TQt 3.0, the compiler gives an error. The solution is to use a
TQRegExp cast:
< pre >
text.replace( TQRegExp("[A-Z]+"), "" );
< / pre >
This change makes it possible to introduce a
TQString::replace(TQString, TQString) overload in a future version of TQt
without breaking source compatibility.
< p > < h2 > TQSemiModal
< / h2 >
< a name = "18" > < / a > < p > The TQSemiModal class is now obsolete. You should call show() on a
modal dialog instead.
< p > < h2 > TQSortedList

< a name = "19" > < / a > < p > The TQSortedList class is now obsolete. Consider using a < a href = "ntqdict.html" > TQDict< / a > , a < a href = "ntqmap.html" > TQMap< / a >
or a plain < a href = "ntqptrlist.html" > TQPtrList< / a > instead.
< p > < h2 > TQTableView
< / h2 >
< a name = "20" > < / a > < p > The TQTableView class has been obsoleted and is no longer a part of the
TQt API. Either use the powerful < a href = "ntqtable.html" > TQTable< / a > class or the simplistic

view for compatibility you can find it in < tt > $TQTDIR/src/attic/qttableview.{cpp,h}< / tt > . Note that the class has been
renamed from TQTableView to TQtTableView to avoid name clashes. To use
it, simply include it in your project and rename TQTableView to

(see < a href = "ntqiconset.html#State-enum" > TQIconSet::State< / a > ).
< p > The two TQToolButton::onIconSet and TQToolButton::offIconSet properties
have been removed, together with the following two functions as well.
< p > < ul >

< a name = "23" > < / a > < p > The < a href = "ntqtranslator.html" > TQTranslator< / a > class was extended in TQt 2.2, and these extensions
lead to a new interface. This interface is used mainly by translation
tools (for example, < a href = "linguist-manual.html" > TQt
Linguist< / a > ). For source compatibility, no member function was
effectively removed. The < a href = "ntqtranslator.html" > TQTranslator< / a > documentation points out
which functions are obsolete.

< p > If you have a class that inherits TQTranslator and which reimplements
TQTranslator::find(), you should reimplement < a href = "ntqtranslator.html#findMessage" > TQTranslator::findMessage< / a > () instead.
In fact, find() is now defined in terms of findMessage(). By doing the
conversion, you will also gain support for translator comments and for any
future extensions.

< a name = "25-2" > < / a > < p > Due to some internal changes, it was necessary to clean-up the semantics of
TQXmlLocator: this class is now an abstract class. This shouldn't cause
any problems, since programmers usually used the TQXmlLocator that was
reported by < a href = "qxmlcontenthandler.html#setDocumentLocator" > TQXmlContentHandler::setDocumentLocator< / a > (). If you used this
class in some other way, you must adjust your code to use the
TQXmlLocator that is reported by the
TQXmlContentHandler::setDocumentLocator() function.
< p > < h2 > Asynchronous I/O Classes
< / h2 >
< a name = "26" > < / a > < p > TQASyncIO, TQDataSink, TQDataSource, TQIODeviceSource and TQDataPump were
used internally in previous versions of TQt, but are not used anymore.
They are now obsolete.
< p > < h2 > Transparent widgets
< / h2 >
< a name = "27" > < / a > < p > In TQt 2.x, the AutoMask property was used to obtain a
transparent-looking widget. In general, this approach is slow and
processor hungry. TQt 3.0 uses the BackgroundOrigin which provides
vastly improved performance and more flexibility in most cases. The
few classes for which the AutoMask property is still the best approach
are < a href = "ntqcheckbox.html" > TQCheckBox< / a > , < a href = "ntqcombobox.html" > TQComboBox< / a > , < a href = "ntqpushbutton.html" > TQPushButton< / a > , < a href = "ntqradiobutton.html" > TQRadioButton< / a > and < a href = "ntqtabwidget.html" > TQTabWidget< / a > .
< p > < h2 > Bezier Curves
< / h2 >
< a name = "28" > < / a > < p > The function names for Bezier curves in < a href = "ntqpainter.html" > TQPainter< / a > and < a href = "ntqpointarray.html" > TQPointArray< / a > have
been corrected. They now properly reflect their cubic form instead of
a quadratic one. If you have been using either
TQPainter::drawQuadBezier() or TQPointArray::quadBezier() you must
replace these calls with
< ul >
< li > void < a href = "ntqpainter.html#drawCubicBezier" > TQPainter::drawCubicBezier< / a > ( const TQPointArray & , int index=0 ) and
< li > TQPointArray < a href = "ntqpointarray.html#cubicBezier" > TQPointArray::cubicBezier< / a > () const
< / ul >
respectively. Neither the arguments nor the resulting curve have changed.
< p > < h2 > Locale-aware String Comparisons in < a href = "ntqiconview.html" > TQIconView< / a > , < a href = "ntqlistbox.html" > TQListBox< / a > ,
< a href = "ntqlistview.html" > TQListView< / a > and < a href = "ntqtable.html" > TQTable< / a >
< / h2 >
< a name = "29" > < / a > < p > In TQt 2.x, < a href = "ntqstring.html" > TQString< / a > only provided string comparisons using the Unicode
values of the characters of a string. This is efficient and reliable,
but it is not the appropriate order for most languages. For example,
French users expect 'é ' (e acute) to be treated essentially as
'e' and not put after 'z'.
< p > In TQt 3.0, < a href = "ntqstring.html#localeAwareCompare" > TQString::localeAwareCompare< / a > () implements locale aware
string comparisions on certain platforms. The classes < a href = "ntqiconview.html" > TQIconView< / a > , < a href = "ntqlistbox.html" > TQListBox< / a > , < a href = "ntqlistview.html" > TQListView< / a > and < a href = "ntqtable.html" > TQTable< / a > now use
TQString::localeAwareCompare() instead of < a href = "ntqstring.html#compare" > TQString::compare< / a > (). If you
want to control the behaviour yourself you can always reimplement
< a href = "qiconviewitem.html#compare" > TQIconViewItem::compare< / a > (), < a href = "ntqlistbox.html#text" > TQListBox::text< / a > (), < a href = "qlistviewitem.html#compare" > TQListViewItem::compare< / a > ()
or < a href = "qtableitem.html#key" > TQTableItem::key< / a > () as appropriate.
