</pre>
|

|
<p> Three new include files are shown here. qslider.h and qlcdnumber.h are there
|
||
|
|
because we use two new widgets, <a href="qslider.html">TQSlider</a> and <a href="qlcdnumber.html">TQLCDNumber</a>. qvbox.h is
|
||
|
|
here because we use TQt's automatic layout support.
|
||
|
|
<p> <pre> class MyWidget : public <a href="qvbox.html">TQVBox</a>
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
public:
|
||
|
|
MyWidget( <a href="qwidget.html">TQWidget</a> *parent=0, const char *name=0 );
|
||
|
|
};
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p> <a name="constructor"></a>
|
||
|
|
<pre> MyWidget::MyWidget( <a href="qwidget.html">TQWidget</a> *parent, const char *name )
|
||
|
|
: <a href="qvbox.html">TQVBox</a>( parent, name )
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p> MyWidget is now derived from <a href="qvbox.html">TQVBox</a> instead of <a href="qwidget.html">TQWidget</a>. That way we use
|
||
|
|
the layout of the TQVBox (which places all of its children vertically
|
||
|
|
inside itself). Resizes are now handled automatically by the TQVBox and
|
||
|
|
therefore by MyWidget, too.
|
||
|
|
<p> <pre> <a href="qlcdnumber.html">TQLCDNumber</a> *lcd = new <a href="qlcdnumber.html">TQLCDNumber</a>( 2, this, "lcd" );
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p> <tt>lcd</tt> is a TQLCDNumber, a widget that displays numbers in an LCD-like
|
||
|
|
fashion. This instance is set up to display two digits and to be a child of
|
||
|
|
<em>this</em>. It is named "lcd".
|
||
|
|
<p> <pre> <a href="qslider.html">TQSlider</a> * slider = new <a href="qslider.html">TQSlider</a>( Horizontal, this, "slider" );
|
||
|
|
<a name="x2315"></a> slider-><a href="qrangecontrol.html#setRange">setRange</a>( 0, 99 );
|
||
|
|
<a name="x2316"></a> slider-><a href="qslider.html#setValue">setValue</a>( 0 );
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p> <a href="qslider.html">TQSlider</a> is a classical slider; the user can use the widget to drag
|
||
|
|
something to adjust an integer value in a range. Here we create a
|
||
|
|
horizontal one, set its range to 0-99 (inclusive, see the <a href="qrangecontrol.html#setRange">TQSlider::setRange</a>() documentation) and its initial value to 0.
|
||
|
|
<p> <pre> <a name="x2317"></a><a name="x2314"></a> <a href="qobject.html#connect">connect</a>( slider, SIGNAL(<a href="qslider.html#valueChanged">valueChanged</a>(int)), lcd, SLOT(<a href="qlcdnumber.html#display">display</a>(int)) );
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p> Here we use the <a href="signalsandslots.html">signal/slot mechanism</a>
|
||
|
|
to connect the slider's valueChanged() signal to the LCD number's
|
||
|
|
display() slot.
|
||
|
|
<p> Whenever the slider's value changes it broadcasts the new value by
|
||
|
|
emitting the valueChanged() signal. Because that signal is connected to
|
||
|
|
the LCD number's display() slot, the slot is called when the signal is
|
||
|
|
broadcast. Neither of the objects knows about the other. This is
|
||
|
|
essential in component programming.
|
||
|
|
<p> Slots are otherwise normal C++ member functions and follow the normal
|
||
|
|
C++ access rules.
|
||
|
|
<p> <h2> Behavior
|
||
|
|
</h2>
|
||
|
|
<a name="2"></a><p> The LCD number reflects everything you do to the slider, and the
|
||
|
|
widget handles resizing well. Notice that the LCD number widget
|
||
|
|
changes in size when the window is resized (because it can), but the
|
||
|
|
others stay about the same (because otherwise they would look stupid).
|
||
|
|
<p> (See <a href="tutorial1-01.html#compiling">Compiling</a> for how to create a
|
||
|
|
makefile and build the application.)
|
||
|
|
<p> <h2> Exercises
|
||
|
|
</h2>
|
||
|
|
<a name="3"></a><p> Try changing the LCD number to add more digits or <a href="qlcdnumber.html#setMode">to change mode.</a> You can even add four push
|
||
|
|
buttons to set the number base.
|
||
|
|
<p> You can also change the slider's range.
|
||
|
|
<p> Perhaps it would have been better to use <a href="qspinbox.html">TQSpinBox</a> than a slider?
|
||
|
|
<p> Try to make the application tquit when the LCD number overflows.
