Define a template instance TQAsciiDict\ to create a dictionary that operates on pointers to X (X*). A dictionary is a collection of key-value pairs. The key is a char* used for insertion, removal and lookup. The value is a pointer. Dictionaries provide very fast insertion and lookup. TQAsciiDict cannot handle Unicode keys; use the TQDict template instead, which uses \l TQString keys. A TQDict has the same performace as a TQAsciiDict. Example: \code TQAsciiDict fields; // char* keys, QLineEdit* values fields.insert( "forename", new QLineEdit( this ) ); fields.insert( "surname", new QLineEdit( this ) ); fields["forename"]->setText( "Homer" ); fields["surname"]->setText( "Simpson" ); TQAsciiDictIterator it( fields ); // See TQAsciiDictIterator for( ; it.current(); ++it ) cout << it.currentKey() << ": " << it.current()->text() << endl; cout << endl; if ( fields["forename"] && fields["surname"] ) cout << fields["forename"]->text() << " " << fields["surname"]->text() << endl; // Prints "Homer Simpson" fields.remove( "forename" ); // Does not delete the line edit if ( ! fields["forename"] ) cout << "forename is not in the dictionary" << endl; \endcode In this example we use a dictionary to keep track of the line edits we're using. We insert each line edit into the dictionary with a unique name and then access the line edits via the dictionary. See TQPtrDict, TQIntDict and TQDict. See TQDict for full details, including the choice of dictionary size, and how deletions are handled. \sa TQAsciiDictIterator, TQDict, TQIntDict, TQPtrDict, \link collection.html Collection Classes\endlink */ /*! \fn TQAsciiDict::TQAsciiDict( int size, bool caseSensitive, bool copyKeys ) Constructs a dictionary optimized for less than \a size entries. We recommend setting \a size to a suitably large prime number (a bit larger than the expected number of entries). This makes the hash distribution better and will improve lookup performance. When \a caseSensitive is TRUE (the default) TQAsciiDict treats "abc" and "Abc" as different keys; when it is FALSE "abc" and "Abc" are the same. Case-insensitive comparison only considers the 26 letters in US-ASCII. If \a copyKeys is TRUE (the default), the dictionary copies keys using strcpy(); if it is FALSE, the dictionary just copies the pointers. */ /*! \fn TQAsciiDict::TQAsciiDict( const TQAsciiDict &dict ) Constructs a copy of \a dict.
