<p> This example shows how to encapsulate two widgets into a new component and
|
|
|
|
|
how easy it is to use many widgets. For the first time, we use a custom

|
|
|
|
widget as a child widget.

<a name="1"></a><p> <pre> class LCDRange : public <a href="qvbox.html">TQVBox</a>
|

{

|

public:

LCDRange( <a href="qwidget.html">TQWidget</a> *parent=0, const char *name=0 );
|
|
|
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
<p> The LCDRange widget is a widget without any API. It just has a
|
|
|
|
|
constructor. This sort of widget is not very useful, so we'll add some API later.
|
|
|
|
|
<p> <pre> LCDRange::LCDRange( <a href="qwidget.html">TQWidget</a> *parent, const char *name )

|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
<p> This is lifted straight from the
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="tutorial1-05.html#constructor">MyWidget constructor</a> in Chapter 5.
|
|
|
|
|
The only differences are that the button is left out and the class
|
|
|
|
|
is renamed.
|
|
|
|
|
<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> MyWidget, too, contains no API except a constructor.
|
|
|
|
|
<p> <pre> MyWidget::MyWidget( <a href="qwidget.html">TQWidget</a> *parent, const char *name )
|
|
|
|
|
: <a href="qvbox.html">TQVBox</a>( parent, name )
|
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="qpushbutton.html">TQPushButton</a> *quit = new <a href="qpushbutton.html">TQPushButton</a>( "Quit", this, "quit" );
|
|
|
|
|
<a name="x2328"></a> quit-><a href="qwidget.html#setFont">setFont</a>( TQFont( "Times", 18, TQFont::Bold ) );
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<a name="x2321"></a> <a href="qobject.html#connect">connect</a>( quit, SIGNAL(<a href="qbutton.html#clicked">clicked</a>()), qApp, SLOT(<a href="qapplication.html#quit">quit</a>()) );
|
|
|
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
<p> The push button that used to be in what is now LCDRange has been
|
|
|
|
|
separated so that we can have one "Quit" button and many LCDRange
|
|
|
|
|
objects.
|
|
|
|
|
<p> <pre> <a href="qgrid.html">TQGrid</a> *grid = new <a href="qgrid.html">TQGrid</a>( 4, this );
|
|
|
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
<p> We create a <a href="qgrid.html">TQGrid</a> object with four columns. The TQGRid widget
|
|
|
|
|
automatically arranges its children in rows and columns; you can
|
|
|
|
|
specify the number of rows or of columns, and TQGrid will discover its
|
|
|
|
|
new children and fit them into the grid.
|
|
|
|
|
<p> <pre> for( int r = 0 ; r < 4 ; r++ )
|
|
|
|
|
for( int c = 0 ; c < 4 ; c++ )
|
|
|
|
|
(void)new LCDRange( grid );
|
|
|
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
<p> Four columns, four rows.
|
|
|
|
|
<p> We create 4*4 LCDRanges, all of which are children of the grid object.
|
|
|
|
|
The TQGrid widget will arrange them.
|
|
|
|
|
<p> <pre> }
|
|
|
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
<p> That's all.
|
|
|
|
|
<p> <h2> Behavior
|
|
|
|
|
</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
<a name="2"></a><p> This program shows how easy it is to use many widgets at a time. Each
|
|
|
|
|
one behaves like the slider and LCD number in the previous
|
|
|
|
|
chapter. Again, the difference lies in the implementation.
|
|
|
|
|
<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> Initialize each slider with a different/random value on startup.
|
|
|
|
|
<p> The source contains three occurrences of "4". What happens if you
|
|
|
|
|
change the one in the <a href="qgrid.html">TQGrid</a> constructor call? What about the other
|
|
|
|
|
two? Why is this?
|
|
