The widget is the atom of the user interface: It receives mouse, keyboard and other events from the window system, and paints a representation of itself on the screen. Every widget is rectangular, and they are sorted in a Z-order. A widget is clipped by its parent and by the widgets in front of it.
A widget that isn't embedded in a parent widget is called a top-level widget. Usually, top-level widgets are windows with a frame and a title bar (though it is also possible to create top level widgets without such decoration by the use of widget flags). In Qt, QMainWindow and the various subclasses of QDialog are the most common top-level windows.
A widget without a parent widget is always a top-level widget.
The opposite of top-level widgets are child widgets. Those are child windows in their parent widgets. You usually cannot distinguish a child widget from its parent visually. Most other widgets in Qt are useful only as child widgets. (You can make a e.g. button into a top-level widget, but most people prefer to put their buttons in e.g. dialogs.)
QWidget has many member functions, but some of them have little direct functionality - for example it has a font but never uses it itself. There are many subclasses which provide real functionality, as diverse as QPushButton, QListBox and QTabDialog.
Groups of functions:
Every widget's constructor accepts two or three standard arguments:
QWidget *parent = 0 is the parent of the new widget.
If it is 0 (the default), the new widget will be a top-level window.
If not, it will be a child of parent, and be constrained by parent's geometry (Unless you specify WType_TopLevel as
widget flag).
const char * name = 0 is the widget name of the new
widget. The widget name is little used at the moment - the
dumpObjectTree() debugging function uses it, and you can access it using
name(). It will become more important when our visual GUI builder is
ready (you can name a a widget in the builder, and connect() to it by
name in your code).
WFlags f = 0 (where available) sets the widget flags; the default is good for almost
all widgets, but to get e.g. top-level widgets without a window
system frame you must use special flags.
The tictac/tictac.cpp example program is good example of a simple widget. It contains a few event handlers (as all widgets must), a few custom routines that are peculiar to it (as all useful widgets must), and has a few children and connections. Everything it does is done in response to an event: This is by far the most common way to design GUI applications.
You will need to supply the content for your widgets yourself, but here is a brief run-down of the events, starting with the most common ones:
If your widget only contains child widgets, you probably do not need to implement any event handlers.
Widgets that accept keyboard input need to reimplement a few more event handlers:
Some widgets will need to reimplement some more obscure event handlers, too:
There are also some really obscure events. They are listed in qevent.h and you need to reimplement event() to handle them. The default implementation of event() handles Tab and shift-Tab (to move the keyboard focus), and passes on most other events to one of the more specialized handlers above.
When writing a widget, there are a few more things to look out for.
See also QEvent, QPainter, QGridLayout and QBoxLayout.
Examples: iconview/main.cpp drawlines/connect.cpp mainlyQt/editor.cpp xform/xform.cpp layout/layout.cpp i18n/main.cpp popup/popup.cpp menu/menu.cpp progress/progress.cpp qmag/qmag.cpp splitter/splitter.cpp forever/forever.cpp desktop/desktop.cpp scrollview/scrollview.cpp customlayout/main.cpp
The background is what the widget contains when paintEvent() is
called. To minimize flicker, this should be the most common color
or pixmap in the widget. For PaletteBackground, use
colorGroup().brush( QColorGroup::Background ), and so on. There
are also three special values, listed at the end:
PaletteForeground
PaletteBackground
PaletteButton
PaletteLight
PaletteMidlight
PaletteDark
PaletteMid
PaletteText
PaletteBrightText
PaletteButtonText
PaletteBase
PaletteShadow
PaletteHighlight
PaletteHighlightedText
NoBackground - the widget is not cleared before paintEvent().
If the widget's paint event always draws on all the pixels, using
this mode can be both fast and flicker-free.
FixedColor - the widget is cleared to a fixed color,
normally different from all the ones in the palette(). Set using
setBackgroundColor().
FixedPixmap - the widget is cleared to a fixed pixmap,
normally different from all the ones in the palette(). Set using
setBackgroundPixmap().
FixedColor and FixedPixmap sometimes are just the right
thing, but if you use them, make sure that your application looks
right when the desktop color scheme has been changed. (On X11, a
quick way to test is e.g. "./yourapp -bg paleblue". On Windows, you
have to use the control panel.)
See also setBackgroundMode(), backgroundMode(), setBackgroundPixmap() and setBackgroundColor().
WidgetOrigin - the pixmap is drawn in the widget's coordinate system.
ParentOrigin - the pixmap is drawn in the parent's coordinate system.
The policy can be:
QWidget::TabFocus - the widget accepts focus by tabbing.
QWidget::ClickFocus - the widget accepts focus by clicking.
QWidget::StrongFocus - the widget accepts focus by both tabbing
and clicking.
QWidget::WheelFocus - like StrongFocus plus the widget accepts
focus by using the mouse wheel.
QWidget::NoFocus - the widget does not accept focus.
This enum used to determine how fonts and palette changes are propagated to children of a widget.
Constructs a widget which is a child of parent, with the name name and widget flags set to f.
If parent is 0, the new widget becomes a top-level window. If parent is another widget, this widget becomes a child window inside parent. The new widget is deleted when parent is.
The name is sent to the QObject constructor.
The widget flags argument f is normally 0, but it can be set to
customize the window frame of a top-level widget (i.e. parent must be
zero). To customize the frame, set the WStyle_Customize flag OR'ed with
any of the Qt::WidgetFlags.
Note that the X11 version of Qt may not be able to deliver all combinations of style flags on all systems. This is because on X11, Qt can only ask the window manager, and the window manager can override the application's settings. On Windows, Qt can set whatever flags you want.
Example:
QLabel *spashScreen = new QLabel( 0, "mySplashScreen",
WStyle_Customize | WStyle_NoBorder |
WStyle_Tool );
The widget flags are defined in qnamespace.h (which is included by qwidget.h).
Destructs the widget.
All children of this widget are deleted first. The application exits if this widget is (was) the main widget.
Returns TRUE if drop events are enabled for this widget.
See also setAcceptDrops().
[virtual]Adjusts the size of the widget to fit the contents.
Uses sizeHint() if valid (i.e if the size hint's width and height are equal to or greater than 0), otherwise sets the size to the children rectangle (the union of all child widget geometries).
See also sizeHint() and childrenRect().
Examples: xform/xform.cpp
Reimplemented in QMessageBox.
Returns whether or not the widget has the auto mask feature enabled.
See also setAutoMask(), updateMask(), setMask() and clearMask().
Returns the background color of this widget, which is normally set implicitly by setBackgroundMode(), but can also be set explicitly by setBackgroundColor().
If there is a background pixmap (set using setBackgroundPixmap()), then the return value of this function is indeterminate.
See also setBackgroundColor(), foregroundColor(), colorGroup() and palette().
Examples: grapher/grapher.cpp xform/xform.cpp
[virtual protected]This virtual function is called from setBackgroundColor(). oldBackgroundColor is the previous background color; you can get the new background color from backgroundColor().
Reimplement this function if your widget needs to know when its background color changes. You will almost certainly need to call this implementation of the function.
See also setBackgroundColor(), backgroundColor(), setPalette(), repaint() and update().
Returns the mode most recently set by setBackgroundMode(). The default is PaletteBackground.
See also BackgroundMode and setBackgroundMode().
Returns the current background origin.
See also setBackgroundOrigin().
Returns the background pixmap if one has been set. If the widget has backgroundMode() NoBackground, the return value is a pixmap for which QPixmao:isNull() is true. If the widget has no pixmap is the background, the return value is a null pointer.
See also setBackgroundPixmap() and setBackgroundMode().
[virtual protected]This virtual function is called from setBackgroundPixmap(). oldBackgroundPixmap is the previous background pixmap; you can get the new background pixmap from backgroundPixmap().
Reimplement this function if your widget needs to know when its background pixmap changes. You will almost certainly need to call this implementation of the function.
See also setBackgroundPixmap(), backgroundPixmap(), repaint() and update().
Returns the widget base size
The base size is used to calculate a proper widget size in case the widget defines sizeIncrement().
See also setBaseSize() and setSizeIncrement().
Returns the widget caption. If no caption has been set (common for child widgets), this functions returns a null string.
See also setCaption(), icon(), iconText() and QString::isNull().
Returns the bounding rectangle of the widget's children.
Explicitely hidden children are excluded.
See also childrenRegion().
Returns the combined region of the widget's children geometry().
Explicitely hidden children are excluded.
See also childrenRect().
[slot]Takes keyboard input focus from the widget.
If the widget has active focus, a focus out event is sent to this widget to tell it that it is about to lose the focus.
This widget must enable focus setting in order to get the keyboard input focus, i.e. it must call setFocusPolicy().
See also hasFocus(), setFocus(), focusInEvent(), focusOutEvent(), setFocusPolicy() and QApplication::focusWidget().
Removes any mask set by setMask().
See also setMask().
[protected]Clears the widget flags f.
Widget flags are internal, not meant for public use.
See also testWFlags(), getWFlags() and setWFlags().
[slot]Closes this widget. Returns TRUE if the widget was closed, otherwise FALSE.
First it sends the widget a QCloseEvent. The widget is hidden if it accepts the close event. The default implementation of QWidget::closeEvent() accepts the close event.
The QApplication::lastWindowClosed() signal is emitted when the last visible top level widget is closed.
See also close(bool).
Examples: popup/popup.cpp
[virtual]Closes this widget. Returns TRUE if the widget was closed, otherwise FALSE.
If alsoDelete is TRUE or the widget has the WDestructiveClose
widget flag, the widget is also deleted. The widget can prevent
itself from being closed by rejecting the QCloseEvent it gets.
The QApplication::lastWindowClosed() signal is emitted when the last visible top level widget is closed.
Note that closing the QApplication::mainWidget() terminates the application.
See also closeEvent(), QCloseEvent, hide(), QApplication::quit(), QApplication::setMainWidget() and QApplication::lastWindowClosed().
[virtual protected]This event handler can be reimplemented in a subclass to receive widget close events.
The default implementation calls e->accept(), which hides this widget. See the QCloseEvent documentation for more details.
See also event(), hide(), close() and QCloseEvent.
Reimplemented in QPopupMenu, QDialog and QProgressDialog.
Returns the current color group of the widget palette.
The color group is determined by the state of the widget.
A disabled widget returns the QPalette::disabled() color group, a widget in the window with keyboard focus returns the QPalette::active() color group, and all inactive widgets return the QPalette::inactive() color group.
See also palette() and setPalette().
[slot]Ensures that the widget is properly initialized by calling polish().
Call constPolish() from functions like sizeHint() that depends on the widget being initialized, and that may be called before show().
Warning: Do not call constPolish() on a widget from inside that widget's constructor.
See also polish().
[virtual protected]Creates a new widget window if window is null, otherwise sets the widget's window to window.
Initializes the window (sets the geometry etc.) if initializeWindow is TRUE. If initializeWindow is FALSE, no initialization is performed. This parameter makes only sense if window is a valid window.
Destroys the old window if destroyOldWindow is TRUE. If destroyOldWindow is FALSE, you are responsible for destroying the window yourself (using platform native code).
The QWidget constructor calls create(0,TRUE,TRUE) to create a window for this widget.
Returns the widget cursor. If no cursor has been set the parent widget's cursor is returned.
See also setCursor() and unsetCursor();.
[virtual protected]This event handler can be reimplemented in a subclass to receive custom events. Custom events are user-defined events with a type value at least as large as the "User" item of the QEvent::Type enum, and is typically a QCustomEvent or QCustomEvent subclass.
See also event() and QCustomEvent.
[virtual]Returns whether the widget wants to handle What's This help manually. The default implementation returns FALSE, which means the widget will not receive any events in Whats This mode.
The widget may leave Whats This mode by calling QWhatsThis::leaveWhatsThisMode(), with or without actually displaying any help text.
You may also reimplement customWhatsThis() if your widget is a so-called "passive interactor" that is supposed to work under all circumstances. Simply don't call QWhatsThis::leaveWhatsThisMode() in that case.
See also QWhatsThis::inWhatsThisMode() and QWhatsThis::leaveWhatsThisMode().
Reimplemented in QPopupMenu and QMenuBar.
[virtual protected]Frees up window system resources. Destroys the widget window if destroyWindow is TRUE.
destroy() calls itself recursively for all the child widgets, passing destroySubWindows for the destroyWindow parameter. To have more control over destruction of subwidgets, destroy subwidgets selectively first.
This function is usually called from the QWidget destructor.
[virtual protected]This event handler is called when a drag is in progress and the mouse enters this widget.
See the Drag-and-drop documentation for an overview of how to provide drag-and-drop in your application.
See also QTextDrag, QImageDrag and QDragEnterEvent.
Reimplemented in QMultiLineEdit and QLineEdit.
[virtual protected]This event handler is called when a drag is in progress and the mouse leaves this widget.
See the Drag-and-drop documentation for an overview of how to provide drag-and-drop in your application.
See also QTextDrag, QImageDrag and QDragLeaveEvent.
Reimplemented in QMultiLineEdit.
[virtual protected]This event handler is called when a drag is in progress and the mouse enters this widget, and whenever it moves within the widget.
See the Drag-and-drop documentation for an overview of how to provide drag-and-drop in your application.
See also QTextDrag, QImageDrag and QDragMoveEvent.
Reimplemented in QMultiLineEdit.
Writes str at position x,y.
The y position is the base line position of the text. The text is drawn using the default font and the default foreground color.
This function is provided for convenience. You will generally get more flexible results and often higher speed by using a a painter instead.
See also setFont(), foregroundColor() and QPainter::drawText().
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.
[virtual protected]This event handler is called when the drag is dropped on this widget.
See the Drag-and-drop documentation for an overview of how to provide drag-and-drop in your application.
See also QTextDrag, QImageDrag and QDropEvent.
Reimplemented in QLineEdit and QMultiLineEdit.
[virtual protected]This virtual function is called from setEnabled(). oldEnabled is the previous setting; you can get the new setting from isEnabled().
Reimplement this function if your widget needs to know when it becomes enabled or disabled. You will almost certainly need to update the widget using update().
The default implementation repaints the visible part of the widget.
See also setEnabled(), isEnabled(), repaint(), update() and visibleRect().
Reimplemented in QListView and QButton.
[virtual protected]This event handler can be reimplemented in a subclass to receive widget enter events.
An event is sent to the widget when the mouse cursor enters the widget.
See also leaveEvent(), mouseMoveEvent() and event().
Reimplemented in QToolButton.
Erases the area defined by reg, without generating a paint event.
Child widgets are not affected.
Examples: drawlines/connect.cpp
Erases the specified area (x,y,w,h) in the widget without generating a paint event.
If w is negative, it is replaced with width() - x.
If h is negative, it is replaced width height() - y.
Child widgets are not affected.
See also repaint().
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.
This version erases the entire widget.
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.
[virtual protected]This is the main event handler. You may reimplement this function in a subclass, but we recommend using one of the specialized event handlers instead.
The main event handler first passes an event through all event filters that have been installed. If none of the filters intercept the event, it calls one of the specialized event handlers.
Key press/release events are treated differently from other events. event() checks for Tab and shift-Tab and tries to move the focus appropriately. If there is no widget to move the focus to (or the key press is not Tab or shift-Tab), event() calls keyPressEvent().
This function returns TRUE if it is able to pass the event over to someone, or FALSE if nobody wanted the event.
See also closeEvent(), focusInEvent(), focusOutEvent(), enterEvent(), keyPressEvent(), keyReleaseEvent(), leaveEvent(), mouseDoubleClickEvent(), mouseMoveEvent(), mousePressEvent(), mouseReleaseEvent(), moveEvent(), paintEvent(), resizeEvent(), QObject::event() and QObject::timerEvent().
Reimplemented from QObject.
[static]Returns a pointer to the widget with window identifer/handle id.
The window identifier type depends by the underlying window system, see qwindowdefs.h for the actual definition. If there is no widget with this identifier, a null pointer is returned.
See also wmapper() and id().
[protected]Returns a pointer to the focus data for this widget's top-level widget.
Focus data always belongs to the top-level widget. The focus data list contains all the widgets in this top-level widget that can accept focus, in tab order. An iterator points to the current focus widget (focusWidget() returns a pointer to this widget).
This information is useful for implementing advanced versions of focusNextPrevChild().
[virtual protected]This event handler can be reimplemented in a subclass to receive keyboard focus events (focus received) for the widget.
A widget normally must setFocusPolicy() to something other than NoFocus in order to receive focus events. (Note that the application programmer can call setFocus() on any widget, even those that do not normally accept focus.)
The default implementation updates the widget if it accepts focus (see focusPolicy()). It also calls setMicroFocusHint(), hinting any system-specific input tools about the focus of the user's attention.
See also focusOutEvent(), setFocusPolicy(), keyPressEvent(), keyReleaseEvent(), event() and QFocusEvent.
Reimplemented in QListBox, QTabBar, QLineEdit, QSlider, QGroupBox, QComboBox, QPushButton, QButton, QMultiLineEdit, QPopupMenu, QMenuBar, QTable, QDial, QListView, QTextView and QRadioButton.
[virtual protected]Finds a new widget to give the keyboard focus to, as appropriate for Tab/shift-Tab, and returns TRUE if is can find a new widget and FALSE if it can't,
If next is true, this function searches "forwards", if next is FALSE, "backwards".
Sometimes, you will want to reimplement this function. For example, a web browser might reimplement it to move its "current active link" forwards or backwards, and call QWidget::focusNextPrevChild() only when it reaches the last/first.
Child widgets call focusNextPrevChild() on their parent widgets, and only the top-level widget will thus make the choice of where to redirect focus. By overriding this method for an object, you thus gain control of focus traversal for all child widgets.
See also focusData().
Reimplemented in QButton, QPopupMenu and QScrollView.
[virtual protected]This event handler can be reimplemented in a subclass to receive keyboard focus events (focus lost) for the widget.
A widget normally must setFocusPolicy() to something other than NoFocus in order to receive focus events. (Note that the application programmer can call setFocus() on any widget, even those that do not normally accept focus.)
The default implementation calls repaint() since the widget's colorGroup() changes from active to normal, so the widget probably needs repainting. It also calls setMicroFocusHint(), hinting any system-specific input tools about the focus of the user's attention.
See also focusInEvent(), setFocusPolicy(), keyPressEvent(), keyReleaseEvent(), event() and QFocusEvent.
Reimplemented in QMenuBar, QMultiLineEdit, QTextView, QPopupMenu, QTabBar, QDial, QTable, QSlider, QListView, QListBox, QButton, QLineEdit and QPushButton.
Returns QWidget::TabFocus if the widget accepts focus by tabbing, QWidget::ClickFocus if the widget accepts focus by clicking, QWidget::StrongFocus if it accepts both and QWidget::NoFocus if it
does not accept focus at all.
See also isFocusEnabled(), setFocusPolicy(), focusInEvent(), focusOutEvent(), keyPressEvent(), keyReleaseEvent() and isEnabled().
Returns a pointer to the focus proxy, or 0 if there is no focus proxy.
See also setFocusProxy().
Returns the focus widget in this widget's window. This is not the same as QApplication::focusWidget(), which returns the focus widget in the currently active window.
Returns the font currently set for the widget.
fontInfo() tells you what font is actually being used.
As long as no special font has been set, this is either a special font for the widget class, the parent's font or - if this widget is a toplevel widget - the default application font.
See also setFont(), fontInfo(), fontMetrics() and QApplication::font().
Examples: grapher/grapher.cpp xform/xform.cpp menu/menu.cpp
[virtual protected]This virtual function is called from setFont(). oldFont is the previous font; you can get the new font from font().
Reimplement this function if your widget needs to know when its font changes. You will almost certainly need to update the widget using update().
The default implementation updates the widget including its geometry.
See also setFont(), font(), update() and updateGeometry().
Reimplemented in QMenuBar, QLabel and QGroupBox.
Returns the font info for the widget's current font. Equivalent to QFontInto(widget->font()).
See also font(), fontMetrics() and setFont().
Returns the font metrics for the widget's current font. Equivalent to QFontMetrics(widget->font()).
See also font(), fontInfo() and setFont().
Examples: xform/xform.cpp drawdemo/drawdemo.cpp qmag/qmag.cpp
This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source working, and will probably be removed in a future version of Qt. We strongly advise against using it in new code.
The return value is meaningless
See also setFontPropagation().
Returns the foreground color of this widget.
The foreground color is also accessible as colorGroup().foreground().
See also backgroundColor() and colorGroup().
Returns the geometry of the widget, relative to its parent and including the window frame.
See the Window Geometry documentation for an overview of geometry issues with top-level widgets.
See also geometry(), x(), y() and pos().
Returns the size of the window system frame (for top level widgets).
Returns the geometry of the widget, relative to its parent widget and excluding the window frame.
See the Window Geometry documentation for an overview of geometry issues with top-level widgets.
See also frameGeometry(), size() and rect().
Examples: qmag/qmag.cpp
[protected]Returns the widget flags for this this widget.
Widget flags are internal, not meant for public use.
See also testWFlags(), setWFlags() and clearWFlags().
Grabs all keyboard input.
This widget will receive all keyboard events, independent of the active window.
Warning: Grabbing the keyboard might lock the terminal.
See also releaseKeyboard(), grabMouse() and releaseMouse().
Grabs the mouse input.
This widget will be the only one to receive mouse events until releaseMouse() is called.
Warning: Grabbing the mouse might lock the terminal.
It is almost never necessary to grab the mouse when using Qt since Qt grabs and releases it sensibly. In particular, Qt grabs the mouse when a button is pressed and keeps it until the last button is released.
See also releaseMouse(), grabKeyboard() and releaseKeyboard().
Grabs the mouse input and changes the cursor shape.
The cursor will assume shape cursor (for as long as the mouse focus is grabbed) and this widget will be the only one to receive mouse events until releaseMouse() is called().
Warning: Grabbing the mouse might lock the terminal.
See also releaseMouse(), grabKeyboard(), releaseKeyboard() and setCursor().
Examples: qmag/qmag.cpp
Returns TRUE if this widget (or its focus proxy) has the keyboard input focus, otherwise FALSE.
Equivalent to qApp->focusWidget() == this.
See also setFocus(), clearFocus(), setFocusPolicy() and QApplication::focusWidget().
Returns TRUE if mouse tracking is enabled for this widget, or FALSE if mouse tracking is disabled.
See also setMouseTracking().
Returns the height of the widget, excluding the window frame.
See the Window Geometry documentation for an overview of geometry issues with top-level widgets.
See also geometry(), width() and size().
Examples: grapher/grapher.cpp xform/xform.cpp drawdemo/drawdemo.cpp qmag/qmag.cpp
[virtual]Returns the preferred height for this widget, given the width w. The default implementation returns 0, indicating that the preferred height does not depend on the width.
Warning: Does not look at the widget's layout.
Reimplemented in QTextView, QMenuBar and QLabel.
[virtual slot]Hides the widget.
You almost never have to reimplement this function. If you need to do something after a widget is hidden, use hideEvent() instead.
See also isHhideEvent(), isHidden(), show(), showMinimized(), isVisible() and close().
Examples: xform/xform.cpp popup/popup.cpp progress/progress.cpp scrollview/scrollview.cpp
Reimplemented in QPopupMenu, QToolBar, QDialog and QMenuBar.
[virtual protected]This event handler can be reimplemented in a subclass to receive widget hide events.
Hide events are sent to widgets right after they have been hidden.
See also event() and QHideEvent.
Returns the widget icon pixmap, or null if no icon has been set.
See also setIcon(), iconText() and caption().
Returns the widget icon text. If no icon text has been set (common for child widgets), this functions returns a null string.
See also setIconText(), icon(), caption() and QString::isNull().
Returns TRUE if this widget is in the active window, i.e. the window that has keyboard focus.
When popup windows are visible, this function returns TRUE for both the active window and the popup.
See also setActiveWindow() and QApplication::activeWindow().
Returns TRUE if the widget is a desktop widget, otherwise FALSE.
A desktop widget is also a top-level widget.
See also isTopLevel() and QApplication::desktop().
Returns TRUE if the widget is enabled, or FALSE if it is disabled.
See also setEnabled().
Returns TRUE if this widget would become enabled if ancestor is enabled.
This is the case if neither the widget itself nor every parent up to but excluding ancestor has been explicitly disabled.
isEnabledTo(0) is equivalent to isEnabled().
See also setEnabled() and isEnabled().
This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source working, and will probably be removed in a future version of Qt. We strongly advise against using it in new code.
This function is deprecated. It is equivalent to isEnabled()
See also setEnabled() and isEnabled().
Returns TRUE if the widget accepts keyboard focus, or FALSE if it does not.
Keyboard focus is initially disabled (i.e. focusPolicy() ==
QWidget::NoFocus).
You must enable keyboard focus for a widget if it processes keyboard
events. This is normally done from the widget's constructor. For
instance, the QLineEdit constructor calls
setFocusPolicy(QWidget::StrongFocus).
See also setFocusPolicy(), focusInEvent(), focusOutEvent(), keyPressEvent(), keyReleaseEvent() and isEnabled().
Returns TRUE if the widget is explicitly hidden, or FALSE if it is visible or would become visible if all its ancestors became visible.
See also hide(), show(), isVisible() and isVisibleTo().
Returns TRUE if this widget is a top-level widget that is maximized, or else FALSE.
Note that due to limitations in some window-systems, this does not always report expected results (eg. if the user on X11 maximizes the window via the window manager, Qt has no way of telling this from any other resize). This will improve as window manager protocols advance.
See also showMaximized().
Returns TRUE if this widget is a top-level widget that is minimized (iconified), or else FALSE.
See also showMinimized(), isVisible(), show(), hide() and showNormal().
Returns TRUE if the widget is a modal widget, otherwise FALSE.
A modal widget is also a top-level widget.
See also isTopLevel() and QDialog.
Returns TRUE if the widget is a popup widget, otherwise FALSE.
A popup widget is created by specifying the widget flag WType_Popup
to the widget constructor.
A popup widget is also a top-level widget.
See also isTopLevel().
Returns TRUE if the widget is a top-level widget, otherwise FALSE.
A top-level widget is a widget which usually has a frame and a caption (title bar). Popup and desktop widgets are also top-level widgets.
A top-level widgets can have a parent widget. It will then be grouped with its parent: deleted when the parent is deleted, minimized when the parent is minimized etc. If supported by the window manager, it will also have a common taskbar entry with its parent.
QDialog and QMainWindow widgets are by default top-level, even if a
parent widget is specified in the constructor. This behavior is
specified by the WType_TopLevel widget flag.
Child widgets are the opposite of top-level widgets.
See also topLevelWidget(), isModal(), isPopup(), isDesktop() and parentWidget().
Returns TRUE if updates are enabled, otherwise FALSE.
See also setUpdatesEnabled().
Returns TRUE if the widget itself is visible, or else FALSE.
Calling show() sets the widget to visible status if all its parent widgets up to the toplevel widget are visible. If an ancestor is not visible, the widget won't become visible until all its ancestors are shown.
Calling hide() hides a widget explicitly. An explicitly hidden widget will never become visible, even if all its ancestors become visible.
Iconified top-level widgets also have hidden status, as well as having isMinimized() return TRUE. Windows that live on another virtual desktop (on platforms that support this concept) also have hidden status.
This function returns TRUE if the widget currently is obscured by other windows on the screen, but would be visible if moved.
A widget receives show- and hide events when its visibility status changes. Between a hide and a show event, there is no need in wasting any CPU on preparing or displaying information to the user. A video application, for example, might simply stop generating new frames.
See also show(), hide(), isHidden(), isVisibleTo(), isMinimized(), showEvent() and hideEvent().
Returns TRUE if this widget would become visible if ancestor is shown.
This is the case if neither the widget itself nor every parent up to but excluding ancestor has been explicitly hidden.
This function returns TRUE if the widget it is obscured by other windows on the screen, but would be visible if moved.
isVisibleTo(0) is very similar to isVisible(), with the exception that it does not cover the iconfied-case or the situation where the window lives on another virtual desktop.
See also show(), hide() and isVisible().
This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source working, and will probably be removed in a future version of Qt. We strongly advise against using it in new code.
This function is deprecated. It is equivalent to isVisible()
See also show(), hide() and isVisible().
[virtual protected]This event handler can be reimplemented in a subclass to receive key press events for the widget.
A widget must call setFocusPolicy() to accept focus initially and have focus in order to receive a key press event.
If you reimplement this handler, it is very important that you ignore() the event if you do not understand it, so that the widget's parent can interpret it.
The default implementation closes popup widgets if you hit escape. Otherwise the event is ignored.
See also keyReleaseEvent(), QKeyEvent::ignore(), setFocusPolicy(), focusInEvent(), focusOutEvent(), event() and QKeyEvent.
Reimplemented in QComboBox, QDial, QTextBrowser, QSlider, QMultiLineEdit, QLineEdit, QMessageBox, QScrollBar, QFileDialog, QTable, QButton, QDialog, QTextView, QMenuBar, QListBox, QListView, QPopupMenu and QTabBar.
[virtual protected]This event handler can be reimplemented in a subclass to receive key release events for the widget.
A widget must accept focus initially and have focus in order to receive a key release event.
If you reimplement this handler, it is very important that you ignore() the release if you do not understand it, so that the widget's parent can interpret it.
The default implementation ignores the event.
See also keyPressEvent(), QKeyEvent::ignore(), setFocusPolicy(), focusInEvent(), focusOutEvent(), event() and QKeyEvent.
Reimplemented in QButton.
[static]Returns a pointer to the widget that is currently grabbing the keyboard input.
If no widget in this application is currently grabbing the keyboard, 0 is returned.
See also grabMouse() and mouseGrabber().
Returns a pointer to the layout engine that manages the geometry of this widget's children.
If the widget does not have a layout, layout() returns a null pointer.
See also sizePolicy().
[virtual protected]This event handler can be reimplemented in a subclass to receive widget leave events.
A leave event is sent to the widget when the mouse cursor leaves the widget.
See also enterEvent(), mouseMoveEvent() and event().
Reimplemented in QMenuBar, QMultiLineEdit, QSpinBox, QToolButton and QLineEdit.
[slot]Lowers the widget to the bottom of the parent widget's stack.
If there are siblings of this widget that overlap it on the screen, this widget will be obscured by its siblings afterwards.
See also raise() and stackUnder().
Translates the widget coordinate pos from the coordinate system of parent to this widget's coordinate system, which must be non-null and be a parent widget of this.
See also mapTo(), mapFromParent() and mapFromGlobal().
Translates the global screen coordinate pos to widget coordinates.
See also mapToGlobal(), mapFrom() and mapFromParent().
Translates the parent widget coordinate pos to widget coordinates.
Same as mapFromGlobal() if the widget has no parent.
See also mapToParent(), mapFrom() and mapFromGlobal().
Translates the widget coordinate pos to the coordinate system of parent, which must be non-null and be a parent widget of this.
See also mapFrom(), mapToParent() and mapToGlobal().
Translates the widget coordinate pos to global screen coordinates. For example,
mapToGlobal(QPoint(0,0))would give the global coordinates of the top-left pixel of the widget.
See also mapFromGlobal(), mapTo() and mapToParent().
Examples: popup/popup.cpp
Translates the widget coordinate pos to a coordinate in the parent widget.
Same as mapToGlobal() if the widget has no parent.

Returns the widget's maximum height.
See also maximumSize() and maximumWidth().
Returns the maximum widget size.
The widget cannot be resized to a larger size than the maximum widget size.
See also maximumWidth(), maximumHeight(), setMaximumSize(), minimumSize() and sizeIncrement().
Returns the widget's maximum width.
See also maximumSize() and maximumHeight().
[virtual protected]Internal implementation of the virtual QPaintDevice::metric() function.
Use the QPaintDeviceMetrics class instead.
Reimplemented from QPaintDevice.
Returns the currently set micro focus hint for this widget.
See also setMicroFocusHint().
Returns the widget's minimum height.
See also minimumSize() and minimumWidth().
Returns the minimum widget size.
The widget cannot be resized to a smaller size than the minimum widget size.
If the returned minimum size equals (0,0) then it means that there are no constraints on the minimum size. However, Qt does nevertheless not allow you to shrink widgets to less than 1 pixel width/height.
See also maximumWidth(), maximumHeight(), setMinimumSize(), maximumSize() and sizeIncrement().
[virtual]Returns a recommended minimum size for the widget, or an invalid size if no minimum size is recommended.
The default implementation returns an invalid size if there is no layout for this widget, the layout's minimum size otherwise.
See also QSize::isValid(), resize(), setMinimumSize() and sizePolicy().
Reimplemented in QMenuBar, QWidgetStack, QSlider, QListBox, QDialog, QDial, QIconView, QSplitter, QLineEdit, QToolBar, QMultiLineEdit, QProgressBar, QLabel, QTabWidget, QMainWindow, QTabBar, QListView and QScrollView.
Returns the widget's minimum width.
See also minimumSize() and minimumHeight().
[virtual protected]This event handler can be reimplemented in a subclass to receive mouse double click events for the widget.
The default implementation generates a normal mouse press event.
Note that the widgets gets a mousePressEvent() and a mouseReleaseEvent() before the mouseDoubleClickEvent().
See also mousePressEvent(), mouseReleaseEvent(), mouseMoveEvent(), event() and QMouseEvent.
Reimplemented in QMultiLineEdit, QLineEdit, QListBox and QComboBox.
[static]Returns a pointer to the widget that is currently grabbing the mouse input.
If no widget in this application is currently grabbing the mouse, 0 is returned.
See also grabMouse() and keyboardGrabber().
[virtual protected]This event handler can be reimplemented in a subclass to receive mouse move events for the widget.
If mouse tracking is switched off, mouse move events only occur if a mouse button is down while the mouse is being moved. If mouse tracking is switched on, mouse move events occur even if no mouse button is down.
QMouseEvent::pos() reports the position of the mouse cursor, relative to this widget. For press and release events, the position is usually the same as the position of the last mouse move event, but it might be different if the user moves and clicks the mouse fast. This is a feature of the underlying window system, not Qt.
See also setMouseTracking(), mousePressEvent(), mouseReleaseEvent(), mouseDoubleClickEvent(), event() and QMouseEvent.
Reimplemented in QSlider, QPopupMenu, QSizeGrip, QMenuBar, QDial, QListBox, QScrollBar, QButton, QMultiLineEdit, QHeader, QLineEdit and QComboBox.
[virtual protected]This event handler can be reimplemented in a subclass to receive mouse press events for the widget.
If you create new widgets in the mousePressEvent() the mouseReleaseEvent() may not end up where you expect, depending on the underlying window system (or X11 window manager), the widgets' location and maybe more.
The default implementation implements the closing of popup widgets when you click outside the window. For other widget types it does nothing.
See also mouseReleaseEvent(), mouseDoubleClickEvent(), mouseMoveEvent(), event() and QMouseEvent.
Reimplemented in QScrollBar, QLineEdit, QButton, QSlider, QSizeGrip, QPopupMenu, QMenuBar, QMultiLineEdit, QListBox, QDial, QTabBar, QComboBox and QHeader.
[virtual protected]This event handler can be reimplemented in a subclass to receive mouse release events for the widget.

Reimplemented in QScrollBar, QButton, QPopupMenu, QTabBar, QHeader, QListBox, QMenuBar, QDial, QSlider, QLineEdit, QMultiLineEdit and QComboBox.
[virtual slot]Moves the widget to the position (x,y) relative to the parent widget and including the window frame.
If the widget is visible, it receives a move event immediately. If the widget is not shown yet, it is guaranteed to receive an event before it actually becomes visible.
This function is virtual, and all other overloaded move() implementations call it.
Warning: If you call move() or setGeometry() from moveEvent(), you may see infinite recursion.
See the Window Geometry documentation for an overview of geometry issues with top-level widgets.
See also pos(), resize(), setGeometry() and moveEvent().
Examples: drawdemo/drawdemo.cpp popup/popup.cpp
Reimplemented in QSemiModal, QPushButton and QDialog.
[slot]This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.
[virtual protected]This event handler can be reimplemented in a subclass to receive widget move events. When the widget receives this event, it is already at the new position.
The old position is accessible through QMoveEvent::oldPos().
See also resizeEvent(), event(), move() and QMoveEvent.
Reimplemented in QXtWidget and QToolButton.
Returns whether the widget uses its own cursor or its parent widget's cursor.
Returns whether the widget uses its own font or its natural default font.
See also setFont() and unsetFont().
Returns whether the widget uses its own palette or its natural default palette.
See also setPalette() and unsetPalette().
[virtual protected]This event handler can be reimplemented in a subclass to receive widget paint events.
When the paint event occurs, the update region QPaintEvent::region() normally has been cleared to the background color or pixmap. An exception is when repaint(FALSE) is called or the widget sets the WRepaintNoErase or WResizeNoErase flag. Inside the paint event handler, QPaintEvent::erased() carries this information.
For many widgets it is sufficient to redraw the entire widget each time, but some need to consider the update rectangle or region of the QPaintEvent to avoid slow update.
During paintEvent(), any QPainter you create on the widget will be clipped to at most the area covered by the update region.
update() and repaint() can be used to force a paint event.
See also event(), repaint(), update(), QPainter, QPixmap and QPaintEvent.
Reimplemented in QTabDialog, QSizeGrip, QButton, QFrame, QGLWidget, QStatusBar, QGroupBox, QDial, QTableView, QHeader, QScrollBar, QToolBar, QLineEdit, QMainWindow, QTabBar, QPopupMenu, QSlider and QComboBox.
Returns the widget palette.
As long as no special palette has been set, this is either a special palette for the widget class, the parent's palette or - if this widget is a toplevel widget - the default application palette.
See also setPalette(), colorGroup() and QApplication::palette().
[virtual protected]This virtual function is called from setPalette(). oldPalette is the previous palette; you can get the new palette from palette().
Reimplement this function if your widget needs to know when its palette changes. You will almost certainly need to call this implementation of the function.
See also setPalette() and palette().
Reimplemented in QTextView.
This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source working, and will probably be removed in a future version of Qt. We strongly advise against using it in new code.
The return value is meaningless.
Returns a pointer to the parent of this widget, or a null pointer if it does not have any parent widget.
[virtual slot]Delayed initialization of a widget.
This function will be called after a widget has been fully created and before it is shown the very first time.
Polishing is useful for final initialization depending on an instantiated widget. This is something a constructor cannot guarantee since the initialization of the subclasses might not be finished.
After this function, the widget has a proper font and palette and QApplication::polish() has been called.
Remember to call QWidget's implementation when reimplementing this function.
See also constPolish() and QApplication::polish().
Examples: menu/menu.cpp
Returns the position of the widget in its parent widget, including the window frame.
See the Window Geometry documentation for an overview of geometry issues with top-level widgets.
See also move(), frameGeometry(), x() and y().
Examples: qmag/qmag.cpp
[slot]Raises this widget to the top of the parent widget's stack.
If there are any siblings of this widget that overlap it on the screen, this widget will be visually in front of its siblings afterwards.
See also lower() and stackUnder().
Returns the the internal geometry of the widget, excluding the window frame. rect() equals QRect(0,0,width(),height()).
See the Window Geometry documentation for an overview of geometry issues with top-level widgets.

Examples: qmag/qmag.cpp
[slot]Repaints the widget directly by calling paintEvent() directly, unless updates are disabled or the widget is hidden.
Erases the widget region reg if erase is TRUE.
Use repaint if your widget needs to be repainted immediately, for example when doing some animation. In all other cases, update() is to be preferred. Calling update() many times in a row will generate a single paint event.
Warning: If you call repaint() in a function which may itself be called from paintEvent(), you may see infinite recursion. The update() function never generates recursion.
See also update(), paintEvent(), setUpdatesEnabled() and erase().
[slot]Repaints the widget directly by calling paintEvent() directly, unless updates are disabled or the widget is hidden.
Erases the widget area (x,y,w,h) if erase is TRUE.
If w is negative, it is replaced with width() - x.
If h is negative, it is replaced width height() - y.
Use repaint if your widget needs to be repainted immediately, for example when doing some animation. In all other cases, update() is to be preferred. Calling update() many times in a row will generate a single paint event.

[slot]This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.
[virtual]Reparents the widget. The widget gets a new parent, new widget flags (f, but as usual, use 0) at a new position in its new parent (p).
If showIt is TRUE, show() is called once the widget has been reparented.
If the new parent widget is in a different top-level widget, the reparented widget and its children are appended to the end of the TAB chain of the new parent widget, in the same internal order as before. If one of the moved widgets had keyboard focus, reparent() calls clearFocus() for that widget.
If the new parent widget is in the same top-level widget as the old parent, reparent doesn't change the TAB order or keyboard focus.
Warning: Reparenting widgets should be a real exception. In normal applications, you will almost never need it. Dynamic masks can be achieved much easier and cleaner with classes like QWidgetStack or on a higher abstraction level, QWizard.
See also getWFlags().
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.
A convenience version of reparent that does not take widget flags as argument.
Calls reparent(parent, getWFlags()&~WType_Mask, p, showit ).
[virtual slot]Resizes the widget to size w by h pixels.
If the widget is visible, it receives a resize event immediately. If the widget is not shown yet, it is guaranteed to receive an event before it actually becomes visible.
The size is adjusted if it is outside the minimum or maximum widget size.
This function is virtual, and all other overloaded resize() implementations call it.
Warning: If you call resize() or setGeometry() from resizeEvent(), you may see infinite recursion.
See also size(), move(), setGeometry(), resizeEvent(), minimumSize() and maximumSize().

[virtual protected]This event handler can be reimplemented in a subclass to receive widget resize events. When resizeEvent() is called, the widget already has its new geometry. The old size is accessible through QResizeEvent::oldSize(), though.
The widget will be erased and receive a paint event immediately after processing the resize event. No drawing has to (and should) be done inside this handler.
Widgets that have been created with the WResizeNoErase flag will not
be erased. Nevertheless, they will receive a paint event for their
entire area afterwards. Again, no drawing needs to be done inside
this handler.
The default implementation calls updateMask() if the widget has automatic masking enabled.
See also moveEvent(), event(), resize(), QResizeEvent and paintEvent().
Reimplemented in QScrollBar, QMultiLineEdit, QCheckBox, QSlider, QWidgetStack, QTabDialog, QRadioButton, QTabBar, QDial, QComboBox, QWorkspace, QGroupBox, QLineEdit, QSpinBox, QDialog, QProgressDialog, QMessageBox, QScrollView, QSplitter, QFileDialog, QTabWidget, QPushButton, QListView, QMenuBar, QMainWindow, QStatusBar, QToolBar, QGLWidget, QTableView, QListBox, QFrame, QXtWidget, QTable, QTextView and QLabel.
Scrolls r dx pixels to the right and dy downwards. Both dx and dy may be negative.
If r is empty or invalid, the result is undefined.
After scrolling, scroll() sends a paint event for the the part of r that is read but not written. For example, when scrolling 10 pixels rightwards, the leftmost ten pixels of r need repainting. The paint event may be delivered immediately or later, depending on some heuristics.
This version of scroll() does not move the children of this widget.
See also QScrollView, erase() and bitBlt().
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.
This version of the function scrolls the entire widget and moves the widget's children along with the scroll.
See also bitBlt() and QScrollView.
[virtual]Announces to the system that this widget may be able to accept drop events.
If the widgets is the desktop, this may fail if another application is using the desktop - you can call acceptDrops() to test if this occurs.
See also acceptDrops().
Examples: scrollview/scrollview.cpp
[virtual]Sets the top-level widget containing this widget to be the active window.
An active window is a visible top-level window that has the keyboard input focus.
This function performs the same operation as clicking the mouse on the title bar of a top-level window, at least on Windows. On X11, the result depends on the Window Manager. If you want to ensure that the window is stacked on top as well, call raise() in addition. Note that the window has be to visible, otherwise setActiveWindow() has no effect.
See also isActiveWindow(), topLevelWidget() and show().
Reimplemented in QXtWidget.
[virtual]Transparent widgets use a mask to define their visible region. QWidget has some built-in support to make the task of recalculating the mask easier. When setting auto mask to TRUE, updateMask() will be called whenever the widget is resized or changes its focus state.
Note: When you re-implement resizeEvent(), focusInEvent() or focusOutEvent() in your custom widgets and still want to ensure that the auto mask calculation works, you will have to add
if ( autoMask() )
updateMask();
at the end of your event handlers. Same holds for all member functions that change the appearance of the widget in a way that a recalculation of the mask is necessary.
While being a technically appealing concept, masks have one big drawback: when using complex masks that cannot be expressed easily with relatively simple regions, they tend to be very slow on some window systems. The classic example is a transparent label. The complex shape of its contents makes it necessary to represent its mask by a bitmap, which consumes both memory and time. If all you want is to blend the background of several neighboring widgets together seamlessly, you may probably want to use setBackgroundOrigin() rather than a mask.
See also autoMask(), updateMask(), setMask(), clearMask() and setBackgroundOrigin().
Examples: aclock/main.cpp
Reimplemented in QLabel.
[virtual]Sets the widget to be cleared to the fixed color color before paintEvent() is called.
Note that using this function is very often a mistake. Here are the most common mistakes:
If you want to set the background color of a widget to one of the "usual" colors, setBackgroundMode() is usually the best function. For example, man widgets that usually use white backgrounds (and black text on it) can use this:
thatWidget->setBackgroundMode( QWidget::PaletteBase );
If you want to change the color scheme of a widget, the setPalette() function is better suited. Here is how to set thatWidget to use a light green (RGB value 80, 255, 80) as background color, with shades of green used for all the 3D effects:
thatWidget->setPalette( QPalette( QColor(80, 255, 80) ) );
A fixed background color sometimes is just the right thing, but if you use it, make sure that your application looks right when the desktop color scheme has been changed. (On X11, a quick way to test is e.g. "./yourapp -bg paleblue". On Windows, you have to use the control panel.)
See also setPalette(), QApplication::setPalette(), backgroundColor(), setBackgroundPixmap() and setBackgroundMode().
Examples: drawlines/connect.cpp xform/xform.cpp drawdemo/drawdemo.cpp splitter/splitter.cpp desktop/desktop.cpp hello/main.cpp customlayout/main.cpp
Tells the window system how to clear this widget when sending a paint event. In other words, this decides how the widgets looks when paintEvent() is called.
For most widgets the default (PaletteBackground, normally gray) suffices, but some need to use PaletteBase (the background color for text output, normally white) and a few need other colors.
QListBox, which is "sunken" and uses the base color to contrast with its environment, does this:
setBackgroundMode( PaletteBase );
Note that two of the BackgroundMode values cannot be used with this
function. For FixedPixmap, call setBackgroundPixmap() instead,
and for FixedColor, call setBackgroundColor().
Sets the widget's background to be drawn relative to origin,
which is either of WidgetOrigin (the default) or ParentOrigin.
This makes a difference only if the widget has a background pixmap
where the positioning matters. In such case, using ParentOrigin
for several neighboring widgets makes the background blend together
seamlessly.
See also backgroundOrigin(), backgroundPixmap() and setBackgroundMode().
[virtual]Sets the background pixmap of the widget to pixmap.
The background pixmap is tiled to cover the entire widget. Note that some widgets do not work well with a background pixmap, for example QLineEdit.
If pixmap is part of the widget's palette(), we recommend calling setBackgroundMode() instead.
A fixed background pixmap sometimes is just the right thing, but if you use it, make sure that your application looks right when the desktop color scheme has been changed. (On X11, a quick way to test is e.g. "./yourapp -bg paleblue". On Windows, you have to use the control panel.)
See also setBackgroundMode(), backgroundPixmap(), backgroundPixmapChange() and setBackgroundColor().
Examples: desktop/desktop.cpp
Sets the base size of the widget. The base size is important only in combination with size increments. See setSizeIncrement() for details.
See also baseSize().
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.
[virtual slot]Sets the window caption (title) to caption.
See also caption(), setIcon() and setIconText().
Examples: action/main.cpp rangecontrols/main.cpp iconview/main.cpp validator/main.cpp themes/main.cpp listviews/main.cpp checklists/main.cpp wizard/main.cpp application/main.cpp buttongroups/main.cpp drawdemo/drawdemo.cpp lineedits/main.cpp popup/popup.cpp listbox/main.cpp menu/menu.cpp progress/progress.cpp tabdialog/main.cpp progressbar/main.cpp tooltip/main.cpp richtext/main.cpp forever/forever.cpp addressbook/main.cpp movies/main.cpp hello/main.cpp listboxcombo/main.cpp mdi/main.cpp dirview/main.cpp
[virtual]Sets the widget cursor shape to cursor.
The mouse cursor will assume this shape when it's over this widget. See a list of predefined cursor objects with a range of useful shapes in the QCursor documentation.
An editor widget would for example use an I-beam cursor:
setCursor( ibeamCursor );
See also cursor(), unsetCursor() and QApplication::setOverrideCursor().
Examples: cursor/cursor.cpp
[slot]Disables widget input events if disable is TRUE, otherwise enables input events.
An enabled widget receives keyboard and mouse events; a disabled widget does not. Note that an enabled widget receives keyboard events only when it is in focus.
Some widgets display themselves differently when they are disabled. For example a button might draw its label grayed out. If your widget needs to know when it becomes enabled or disabled, you can reimplement the enabledChange() function.
Disabling a widget implicitely disables all its children. Enabling respectively enables all child widgets unless they have been explicitly disabled.
See also setEnabled(), isEnabled(), isEnabledTo(), QKeyEvent, QMouseEvent and enabledChange().
[virtual slot]Enables widget input events if enable is TRUE, otherwise disables input events.
An enabled widget receives keyboard and mouse events; a disabled widget does not. Note that an enabled widget receives keyboard events only when it is in focus.
Some widgets display themselves differently when they are disabled. For example a button might draw its label grayed out. If your widget needs to know when it becomes enabled or disabled, you can reimplement the enabledChange() function.
Disabling a widget implicitely disables all its children. Enabling respectively enables all child widgets unless they have been explicitly disabled.

Reimplemented in QScrollView.
Sets both the minimum and maximum heights of the widget to h without changing the widths. Provided for convenience.
See also sizeHint(), minimumSize(), maximumSize(), setFixedSize() and more.
Examples: layout/layout.cpp
Sets both the minimum and maximum sizes of the widget to s, thereby preventing it from ever growing or shrinking.
See also setMaximumSize() and setMinimumSize().
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.
Sets both the minimum and maximum width of the widget to w without changing the heights. Provided for convenience.
See also sizeHint(), minimumSize(), maximumSize(), setFixedSize() and more.
[virtual slot]Gives the keyboard input focus to the widget (or its focus proxy).
First, a focus out event is sent to the focus widget (if any) to tell it that it is about to lose the focus. Then a focus in event is sent to this widget to tell it that it just received the focus.
setFocus() gives focus to a widget regardless of its focus policy.
Warning: If you call setFocus() in a function which may itself be called from focusOutEvent() or focusInEvent(), you may see infinite recursion.
See also hasFocus(), clearFocus(), focusInEvent(), focusOutEvent(), setFocusPolicy() and QApplication::focusWidget().
Examples: xform/xform.cpp popup/popup.cpp
Enables or disables the keyboard focus for the widget.
The keyboard focus is initially disabled (i.e. policy ==
QWidget::NoFocus).
You must enable keyboard focus for a widget if it processes keyboard
events. This is normally done from the widget's constructor. For
instance, the QLineEdit constructor calls
setFocusPolicy(QWidget::StrongFocus).
See also isFocusEnabled(), focusInEvent(), focusOutEvent(), keyPressEvent(), keyReleaseEvent() and isEnabled().
Examples: rot13/rot13.cpp
[virtual]Sets this widget's focus proxy to w. If w is 0, this function resets this widget to not have any focus proxy.
Some widgets, such as QComboBox, can "have focus," but create a child widget to actually handle the focus. QComboBox, for example, creates a QLineEdit.
setFocusProxy() sets the widget which will actually get focus when "this widget" gets it. If there is a focus proxy, focusPolicy(), setFocusPolicy(), setFocus() and hasFocus() all operate on the focus proxy.
See also focusProxy().
[virtual]Sets the font for the widget and informs all children about the change.
The fontInfo() function reports the actual font that is being used by the widget.
This code fragment sets a 12 point helvetica bold font:
QFont f("Helvetica", 12, QFont::Bold);
setFont( f );
See also font(), fontChange(), fontInfo(), fontMetrics(), unsetFont() and ownFont().
Examples: grapher/grapher.cpp xform/xform.cpp
Reimplemented in QFontDialog, QWizard, QTabDialog and QPopupMenu.
This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source working, and will probably be removed in a future version of Qt. We strongly advise against using it in new code.
Use setFont( const QFont& font) instead.
Examples: xform/xform.cpp hello/main.cpp
This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source working, and will probably be removed in a future version of Qt. We strongly advise against using it in new code.
Calling this function has no effect.
[virtual slot]Sets the widget geometry to w by h, positioned at x,y in its parent widget.
If the widget is visible, it receives a move event and/or resize event immediately. If the widget is not shown yet, it is guaranteed to receive appropriate events before it actually becomes visible.
The size is adjusted if it is outside the minimum or maximum widget size.
This function is virtual, and all other overloaded setGeometry() implementations call it.
Warning: If you call setGeometry() from resizeEvent() or moveEvent(), you may see infinite recursion.
See also geometry(), move(), resize(), moveEvent(), resizeEvent(), minimumSize() and maximumSize().
Reimplemented in QDialog.
[virtual slot]This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.
Examples: i18n/main.cpp drawdemo/drawdemo.cpp popup/popup.cpp qmag/qmag.cpp
Reimplemented in QDialog.
[virtual slot]Sets the window icon to pixmap.
See also icon(), setIconText(), setCaption() and Setting the Application Icon
Reimplemented in QMessageBox.
[virtual slot]Sets the text of the window's icon to iconText.
See also iconText(), setIcon() and setCaption().
[virtual protected]Enables key event compression, if enable is TRUE, and disables it if enable is FALSE.
By default key compression is off, so widgets receive one key press event for each key press (or more, since autorepeat is usually on). If you turn it on and your program doesn't keep up with key input, Qt tries to compress key events so that more than one character can be processed in each event.
For example, a word processor widget might receive 2, 3 or more characters in each QKeyEvent::text(), if the layout recalculation takes too long for the CPU.
If a widget supports multiple character unicode input, it is always safe to turn the compression on.
See also QKeyEvent::text();.
[virtual]Causes only the pixels of the widget for which bitmap has a corresponding 1 bit to be visible. If the region includes pixels outside the rect() of the widget, window system controls in that area may or may not be visible, depending on the platform.
Note that this effect can be slow if the region is particularly complex.
See also setMask(const, QRegion&) and clearMask().
[virtual]Causes only the parts of the widget which overlap region to be visible. If the region includes pixels outside the rect() of the widget, window system controls in that area may or may not be visible, depending on the platform.
Note that this effect can be slow if the region is particularly complex.
See also setMask(QBitmap) and clearMask().
Sets the maximum height of the widget to h without changing the width. Provided for convenience.
See also sizeHint(), minimumSize(), maximumSize(), setFixedSize() and more.
Examples: splitter/splitter.cpp
[virtual]Sets the maximum size of the widget to w by h pixels.
The widget cannot be resized to a larger size than the maximum widget size. The widget's size is forced to the maximum size if the current size is greater.
See also maximumSize(), setMinimumSize(), setSizeIncrement(), resize() and size().
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.
Sets the maximum width of the widget to w without changing the height. Provided for convenience.
See also sizeHint(), minimumSize(), maximumSize(), setFixedSize() and more.
[virtual protected]When a widget gets focus, it should call setMicroFocusHint for some appropriate position and size - x, y and w by h. This has no visual effect, it just provides hints to any system-specific input handling tools.
The text argument should be TRUE if this is a position for text input.
In the Windows version of Qt, this method sets the system caret, which is used for user Accessibility focus handling. If text is TRUE, it also sets the IME composition window in Far East Asian language input systems.
In the X11 version of Qt, if text is TRUE, this method sets the XIM "spot" point for complex language input handling.
See also microFocusHint().
Sets the minimum height of the widget to h without changing the width. Provided for convenience.
See also sizeHint(), minimumSize(), maximumSize(), setFixedSize() and more.
[virtual]Sets the minimum size of the widget to w by h pixels.
The widget cannot be resized to a smaller size than the minimum widget size. The widget's size is forced to the minimum size if the current size is smaller.
If you use a layout inside the widget, the minimum size will be set by the layout and not by setMinimumSize, unless you set the layouts resize mode to QLayout::FreeResize.
See also minimumSize(), setMaximumSize(), setSizeIncrement(), resize(), size() and QLayout::setResizeMode().
Examples: menu/menu.cpp qmag/qmag.cpp splitter/splitter.cpp
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.
Sets the minimum width of the widget to w without changing the height. Provided for convenience.
See also sizeHint(), minimumSize(), maximumSize(), setFixedSize() and more.
[virtual slot]Enables mouse tracking if enable is TRUE, or disables it if enable is FALSE.
If mouse tracking is disabled (default), this widget only receives mouse move events when at least one mouse button is pressed down while the mouse is being moved.
If mouse tracking is enabled, this widget receives mouse move events even if no buttons are pressed down.
See also hasMouseTracking(), mouseMoveEvent() and QApplication::setGlobalMouseTracking().
Examples: popup/popup.cpp qmag/qmag.cpp
Reimplemented in QGLWidget.
[virtual]Reimplemented for internal reasons; the API is not affected.
Reimplemented from QObject.
This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source working, and will probably be removed in a future version of Qt. We strongly advise against using it in new code.
Use setPalette( const QPalette& p ) instead.
[virtual]Sets the widget palette to palette and informs all children about the change.
See also QApplication::setPalette(), palette(), paletteChange(), unsetPalette(), ownPalette() and colorGroup().
This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source working, and will probably be removed in a future version of Qt. We strongly advise against using it in new code.
Calling this function has no effect.
[virtual]Sets the size increment of the widget. When the user resizes the window, the size will move in steps of w pixels horizontally and h pixels vertically, with baseSize() as basis. Preferred widget sizes are therefore for non-negative integers i and j:
width = baseSize().width() + i * sizeIncrement().width(); height = baseSize().height() + j * sizeIncrement().height();
Note that while you can set the size increment for all widgets, it has no effect except for top-level widgets.
Warning: The size increment has no effect under Windows, and may be disregarded by the window manager on X.
See also sizeIncrement(), setMinimumSize(), setMaximumSize(), resize() and size().
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.
Sets the size policy for this widget to policy. The size policy specifies the default layout behaviour.
The default policy is Preferred/Preferred, which means that the widget can be freely resized, but prefers to be the size sizeHint() returns. Button-like widgets set the size policy to specify that they may stretch horizontally, but are fixed vertically. The same applies to lineedit controls (such as QLineEdit, QSpinBox or an editable QComboBox) and other horizontally orientated widgets (such as QProgressBar). A QToolButton on the other hand wants to be squared, therefore it allows growth in both directions. Widgets that support different directions (such as QSlider, QScrollBar or QHeader) specify stretching in the respective direction only. Widgets that can provide scrollbars (usually subclasses of QScrollView) tend to specify that they can use additional space, and that they can survive on less than sizeHint().
See also sizeHint(), QLayout, QSizePolicy and updateGeometry().
Sets the widget's GUI style to style. Ownership of the style object is not transferred.
If no style is set, the widget uses the application's style QApplication::style() instead.
Setting a widget's style has no effect on existing or future child widgets.
Warning: This function is particularly useful for demonstration purposes, where you want to show Qt's styling capabilities. Real applications should stay away from it and use one consistent GUI style instead.
See also style(), QStyle, QApplication::style() and QApplication::setStyle().
Examples: grapher/grapher.cpp
[static]Moves the second widget around the ring of focus widgets so that keyboard focus moves from first widget to second widget when Tab is pressed.
Note that since the tab order of the second widget is changed, you should order a chain like this:
setTabOrder(a, b ); // a to b
setTabOrder(b, c ); // a to b to c
setTabOrder(c, d ); // a to b to c to d
not like this:
setTabOrder(c, d); // c to d
setTabOrder(a, b); // a to b AND c to d
setTabOrder(b, c); // a to b to c, but not c to d
If either first or second has a focus proxy, setTabOrder() substitutes its/their proxies.
See also setFocusPolicy() and setFocusProxy().
Examples: customlayout/main.cpp
[virtual slot]Enables widget updates if enable is TRUE, or disables widget updates if enable is FALSE.
Calling update() and repaint() has no effect if updates are disabled. Paint events from the window system are processed normally even if updates are disabled.
This function is normally used to disable updates for a short period of time, for instance to avoid screen flicker during large changes.
Example:
setUpdatesEnabled( FALSE );
bigVisualChanges();
setUpdatesEnabled( TRUE );
repaint();
See also isUpdatesEnabled(), update(), repaint() and paintEvent().
Reimplemented in QHeader.
[virtual protected]Sets the widget flags f.
Widget flags are internal, not meant for public use.
See also testWFlags(), getWFlags() and clearWFlags().
[virtual slot]Shows the widget and its child widgets.
If its size or position has changed, Qt guarantees that a widget gets move and resize events just before the widget is shown.
You almost never have to reimplement this function. If you need to change some settings before a widget is shown, use showEvent() instead. If you need to do some delayed initialization use polish().
See also showEvent(), hide(), showMinimized(), showMaximized(), showNormal(), isVisible() and polish().
Examples: showimg/main.cpp rangecontrols/main.cpp validator/main.cpp listviews/main.cpp aclock/main.cpp checklists/main.cpp drawlines/connect.cpp dclock/main.cpp xform/xform.cpp cursor/cursor.cpp layout/layout.cpp tetrix/tetrix.cpp buttongroups/main.cpp life/main.cpp i18n/main.cpp drawdemo/drawdemo.cpp lineedits/main.cpp popup/popup.cpp listbox/main.cpp menu/menu.cpp progress/progress.cpp qmag/qmag.cpp splitter/splitter.cpp progressbar/main.cpp tooltip/main.cpp richtext/main.cpp qwerty/main.cpp forever/forever.cpp rot13/rot13.cpp scrollview/scrollview.cpp movies/main.cpp picture/picture.cpp hello/main.cpp listboxcombo/main.cpp biff/main.cpp tictac/main.cpp customlayout/main.cpp
Reimplemented in QTableView, QTabBar, QMenuBar, QWidgetStack, QToolBar, QWizard, QSemiModal, QMainWindow, QListView, QDialog, QScrollView, QTabDialog, QPopupMenu and QProgressBar.
[virtual protected]This event handler can be reimplemented in a subclass to receive widget show events.
Non-spontaneous show events are sent to widgets right before they are shown. Spontaneous show events of toplevel widgets are delivered afterwards, naturally.
See also event() and QShowEvent.
Reimplemented in QTextBrowser, QProgressDialog, QTable, QTabWidget, QListBox, QWorkspace, QTextView, QListView and QHeader.
[slot]Shows the widget in full-screen mode.
Calling this function has no effect for other than top-level widgets.
To return from full-screen mode, call showNormal().
Full-screen mode works fine under Windows, but has certain problems under X. These problems are due to limitations of the ICCCM protocol that specifies the communication between X11 clients and the window manager. ICCCM simply does not know the concept of non-decorated full-screen windows. Therefore, the best we can do is to request a borderless window and place and resize it to fill the entire screen. Depending on the window manager, this may or may not work. The borderless window is requested using MOTIF hints, which are at least partially supported by virtually all modern window managers.
An alternative would be to bypass the window manager at all and to create a window with the WX11BypassWM flag. This has other severe problems, though, like totally broken keyboard focus and very strange effects on desktop changes or when the user raises other windows.
Future window managers that follow modern post-ICCCM specifications may support full-screen mode properly.
See also showNormal(), showMaximized(), show(), hide() and isVisible().
[virtual slot]Shows the widget maximized.
Calling this function has no effect for other than top-level widgets.
On X11, this function may not work properly with certain window managers. See the Window Geometry documentation for details on why.
See also showNormal(), showMinimized(), show(), hide() and isVisible().
Examples: helpviewer/main.cpp scribble/main.cpp qwerty/main.cpp
[virtual slot]Shows the widget minimized, as an icon.
Calling this function has no effect for other than top-level widgets.
See also showNormal(), showMaximized(), show(), hide(), isVisible() and isMinimized().
[virtual slot]Restores the widget after it has been maximized or minimized.
Calling this function has no effect for other than top-level widgets.
See also showMinimized(), showMaximized(), show(), hide() and isVisible().
Returns the size of the widget, excluding the window frame.
See also geometry(), width() and height().
[virtual]Returns a recommended size for the widget, or an invalid size if no size is recommended.
The default implementation returns an invalid size if there is no layout for this widget, the layout's preferred size otherwise.
See also QSize::isValid(), minimumSizeHint(), sizePolicy(), setMinimumSize() and updateGeometry().
Reimplemented in QGroupBox, QToolButton, QSlider, QTable, QCheckBox, QProgressDialog, QLineEdit, QMenuBar, QLCDNumber, QPushButton, QScrollBar, QRadioButton, QListBox, QHBox, QComboBox, QGrid, QSpinBox, QProgressBar, QHeader, QPopupMenu, QIconView, QDial, QListView, QTabBar, QMainWindow, QDialog, QLabel, QFrame, QTabWidget, QWidgetStack, QMultiLineEdit, QSplitter, QCanvasView, QScrollView, QSizeGrip and QWorkspace.
Returns the widget size increment.
See also setSizeIncrement(), minimumSize() and maximumSize().
[virtual]Returns the default layout behaviour of this widget.
If there is a QLayout that manages this widget's children, the size policy specified by that layout is used. If there is no such QLayout, the result of this function is used.
See also setSizePolicy(), sizeHint(), QLayout, QSizePolicy and updateGeometry().
Reimplemented in QSlider, QPushButton, QProgressBar, QRadioButton, QLabel, QScrollBar, QTabBar, QWorkspace, QToolButton, QLCDNumber, QTabWidget, QFrame, QLineEdit, QHeader, QCheckBox, QSpinBox, QMultiLineEdit, QScrollView, QIconView, QSplitter and QSizeGrip.
[slot]Places the widget under w in the parent widget's stack.
To make this work, the widget itself and w have to be siblings.
Returns the GUI style for this widget
See also QWidget::setStyle(), QApplication::setStyle() and QApplication::style().
[virtual protected]This virtual function is called when the style of the widgets. changes.oldStyle is the previous GUI style; you can get the new style from style().
Reimplement this function if your widget needs to know when its GUI style changes. You will almost certainly need to update the widget using update().
The default implementation updates the widget including its geometry.
See also QApplication::setStyle(), style(), update() and updateGeometry().
Reimplemented in QPopupMenu, QComboBox, QProgressBar, QSlider, QIconView, QMenuBar, QScrollBar, QMainWindow, QSpinBox, QSplitter, QListView, QProgressDialog, QTabWidget, QTabBar, QTabDialog and QScrollView.
Returns TRUE if any of the widget flags in n are set. The widget flags are listed in qnamespace.h, and are strictly for internal use.
Returns the top-level widget for this widget, i.e. the next ancestor widget that has a window-system frame (or at least may have one).
If the widget is a top-level, the widget itself is returned.
Typical usage is changing the window caption:
aWidget->topLevelWidget()->setCaption( "New Caption" );
See also isTopLevel().
[virtual]Unset the cursor for this widget. The widget will use the cursor of its parent from now on.
This functions does nothing for top-level windows.
See also cursor(), setCursor() and QApplication::setOverrideCursor().
Unsets the font for this widget. The widget will use its natural default font from now on. This is either a special font for the widget class, the parent's font or - if this widget is a toplevel widget - the default application font.
See also setFont() and ownFont().
Unsets the palette for this widget. The widget will use its natural default palette from now on.
See also setPalette() and ownPalette().
[slot]Updates the widget unless updates are disabled or the widget is hidden.
Updating the widget will erase the widget contents and generate an appropriate paint event for the invalidated region. The paint event is processed after the program has returned to the main event loop. Calling update() many times in a row will generate a single paint event.
If the widgets sets the WRepaintNoErase flag, update() will not erase its contents.
See also repaint(), paintEvent(), setUpdatesEnabled(), erase() and setWFlags().
Examples: grapher/grapher.cpp drawlines/connect.cpp drawdemo/drawdemo.cpp desktop/desktop.cpp scrollview/scrollview.cpp picture/picture.cpp
[slot]Updates a rectangle (x, y, w, h) inside the widget unless updates are disabled or the widget is hidden.
Updating the widget erases the widget area (x,y,w,h) and generate an appropriate paint event for the invalidated region. The paint event is processed after the program has returned to the main event loop. Calling update() many times in a row will generate a single paint event.
If w is negative, it is replaced with width() - x.
If h is negative, it is replaced width height() - y.
If the widgets sets the WRepaintNoErase flag, update() will not erase its contents.
See also repaint(), paintEvent(), setUpdatesEnabled() and erase().
[slot]This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.
Notifies the layout system that this widget has changed and may need to change geometry.
Call this function if the sizeHint() or sizePolicy() have changed.
For explicitly hidden widgets, updateGeometry() is a no-op. The layout system will be notified as soon as the widget is shown.
[virtual protected]This function can be reimplemented in a subclass to support transparent widgets. It is supposed to be called whenever a widget changes state in a way that the shape mask has to be recalculated.
See also setAutoMask(), updateMask(), setMask() and clearMask().
Reimplemented in QCheckBox, QGroupBox, QPushButton, QSlider, QRadioButton, QTabWidget, QFrame, QTabBar and QComboBox.
Returns the currently visible rectangle of the widget. This function is in particular useful to optimize immediate repainting of a widget. Typical usage is
repaint( w->visibleRect() );
or
repaint( w->visibleRect(), FALSE );
If nothing is visible, the rectangle returned is empty.
[virtual protected]This event handler can be reimplemented in a subclass to receive wheel events for the widget.
If you reimplement this handler, it is very important that you ignore() the event if you do not handle it, so that the widget's parent can interpret it.
The default implementation ignores the event.
See also QWheelEvent::ignore(), QWheelEvent::accept(), event() and QWheelEvent.
Reimplemented in QSpinBox, QSlider, QScrollView, QScrollBar, QMultiLineEdit and QDial.
Returns the width of the widget, excluding the window frame.
See the Window Geometry documentation for an overview of geometry issues with top-level widgets.
See also geometry(), height() and size().
Examples: grapher/grapher.cpp xform/xform.cpp drawdemo/drawdemo.cpp menu/menu.cpp qmag/qmag.cpp
Returns the window system identifier of the widget.
Portable in principle, but if you use it you are probably about to do something non-portable. Be careful.
See also find().
Returns the x coordinate of the widget, relative to its parent widget and including the window frame.
See the Window Geometry documentation for an overview of geometry issues with top-level widgets.
See also frameGeometry(), y() and pos().
Returns the y coordinate of the widget, relative to its parent widget and including the window frame.
See the Window Geometry documentation for an overview of geometry issues with top-level widgets.
