How to make a QTextDocument as a widget? - qt

I need to build a widget, which bases on QTextDocument.
MyWidget.h
class MyWidget: public QFrame
{
public:
explicit MyWidget( QWidget *p_parent );
private:
QTextDocument m_textDocument;
};
MyWidget.cpp
MyWidget::MyWidget( QWidget *p_parent ) : QFrame( p_parent )
{
QVBoxLayout *layout = new QVBoxLayout( this );
layout->setMargin( 0 );
layout->setSpacing( 0 );
m_textDocument = new QTextDocument( this );
layout->addWidget( m_textDocument ); // does not work
layout->addLayout(m_textDocument->documentLayout()); // I have tried this, but incompatible
}
I can not addWidget because QTextDocument is an object. How can I do to build my widget?

You don't use a QTextDocument as a widget, because a Document is the idea in memory of what a document is, it does not have a Graphicsl Representation.
If you are looking for a Visual representation of a Document, you can use QTextEdit as follows:
auto *textEdit = new QTextEdit(parent);
textEdit->setDocument(myTextDocument);
layout->addWidget(textEdit);

How to get coordinates QScrollArea child widget?
mainWindow::mainWindow( QWidget *parent)

QWidget::pos() is what you're looking for. It applies in all cases, QScrollWidget does not require special treatment here at all.

How to read widgets from the .ui file in qt5?

I am trying to get the list of widgets from a .ui files.
So here is a bit of code:
QUiLoader loader;
QFile file(fname);
file.open(QFile::ReadOnly);
QWidget *myWidget = loader.load(&file, this);
file.close();
QStringList avlb_wd = loader.availableWidgets();
QMessageBox msg;
foreach (const QString &str, avlb_wd)
{
msg.setText(str);
msg.exec();
}
But as I can see, availableWidgets() gives me all the widgets, not the ones that are in .ui file.
How can I achieve it?
Thanks forward.
Make a subclass of QUiLoader, and reimplement createWidget, createLayout and createAction (there's also createActionGroup, but it's not really supported any more, unless you manually edit the ui file).
These functions are called every time a new widget, layout or action is created by the ui loader. So just call the base-class implementation to get the created object, and then you can gather whatever information you like, before returning it.
UPDATE:
So the basic QUiLoader subclass would look like this (add other overloads as required):
class UiLoader : public QUiLoader
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
UiLoader(QObject *parent = 0) : QUiLoader(parent) { }
virtual QWidget* createWidget(const QString &className,
QWidget *parent = 0, const QString &name = QString())
{
QWidget* widget = QUiLoader::createWidget(className, parent, name);
// do stuff with className, name, widget, etc
return widget;
}
};

QListView and delegate display unintended item

I've a problem with my QListView, it paint an unintended item on the top left of the QListView :
http://s4.postimage.org/64orbk5kd/Screen_Shot_2013_02_14_at_20_23_14.png
I use a QStyledItemDelegate in my QListView :
m_stringList.push_back("FIRST");
m_stringList.push_back("SECOND");
m_stringList.push_back("THIRD");
m_model.setStringList(m_stringList);
ui->processesListView->setFlow(QListView::LeftToRight);
ui->processesListView->setModel(&m_model);
ui->processesListView->setItemDelegate(new ProcessItemDelegate(this, ui->processesListView));
The delegate (ProcessItemDelegate) paint method use a custom QWidget to display the information :
void ProcessItemDelegate::paint ( QPainter * painter, const QStyleOptionViewItem & option, const QModelIndex &inIndex ) const
{
_listItem->setContent(_listView->model()->data(inIndex).toString());
painter->save();
painter->translate(option.rect.center());
_listItem->render(painter);
painter->restore();
}
The setContent method of the QWidget is very simple :
void ProcessItem::setContent(const QString &s)
{
ui->processId->setText(s);
}
I have another way to add a widget to some list using a QListWidget.
For example knowing that ui->historyView is a QListWidget element and HistoryElementView a subclass of QWidget.
void View::onHistoryChanged(const QList<HistoryElement> &history)
{
clearHistory();
foreach(HistoryElement elt, history)
{
HistoryElementView *historyViewElement = new HistoryElementView(elt.getDateTime("dd/MM/yyyy - hh:mm"), elt.getFilename());
QListWidgetItem *item = new QListWidgetItem();
ui->historyView->addItem(item);
ui->historyView->setItemWidget(item, historyViewElement);
}
}
void View::clearHistory()
{
QListWidgetItem *item;
while (ui->historyView->count() != 0)
{
item = ui->historyView->takeItem(0);
delete item;
}
}
You do not need to delete the widgets inside your QListWidgetItem, it will be handle by Qt.
Once your widgets are inside the list, you can retrieve them using :
// Using index
QListWidgetItem *item = ui->historyView->item(0);
HistoryElementView *elt = qobject_cast<HistoryElementView *>(ui->historyView->itemWidget(item));
// Using position
QListWidgetItem *item = ui->historyView->itemAt(pos);
HistoryElementView *historyElement = qobject_cast<HistoryElementView *>(ui->historyView->itemWidget(item));
Hope it helps.

Qt - How to Transfer QListView Items to another QListView?

I have a QLineEdit, 2 QPush buttons (Add & Remove Buttons) and a QListView. The Text which i am entering in the QLineEdit will gets added in the QListView when the add button is clicked. And if I'm selecting any one of the Item from the QListView and click the Remove Button the selected item will be removed. I finished these things and it works fine. Now i want to add a another QListView and if am Double clicking the QListView Items (QListView 1) the items should be transfered (items in the QListView 1 should be removed completely) to the new QListView (QListView 2) and vice versa. plz help me with your suggestions. Thanks in Advance.
Example.h
class Example : public QWidget
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
explicit Example(QWidget *parent = 0);
~Example();
private slots:
void on_listView_doubleClicked(const QModelIndex &index);
void on_listView_2_doubleClicked(const QModelIndex &index);
private:
QStandardItemModel *model; // This model is used when the add button is clicked.
QStandardItemModel *listViewModel;
};
Example.cpp
void Example::on_listView_doubleClicked(const QModelIndex &index)
{
QStandardItem *Item1;
Items1 = new QStandardItem();
Items1->setData(ui->listView->currentIndex().data(), Qt::DisplayRole );
Items1->setEditable( false );
listViewModel->appendRow( Items1 );
listViewModel->sort( 0, Qt::AscendingOrder );
ui->listView_2->setModel( listViewModel );
model->removeRow( ui->listView->currentIndex().row() );
}
void Example::on_listView_2_doubleClicked(const QModelIndex &index)
{
QStandardItem *Items2;
Items2 = new QStandardItem();
Items2->setData( ui->listView_2->currentIndex().data(), Qt::DisplayRole );
Items2->setEditable( false);
model->appendRow( Items2 );
model->sort( 0,Qt::AscendingOrder );
ui->listView->setModel( model );
model->removeRow( ui->listView_2->currentIndex().row() );
}
A more extensible way would be to create a custom model (possibly inheriting the QStringListModel if that suits your needs) and then implementing moveRows and/or the Drag&Drop facilities.

QStyledItemDelegate - How does updateEditorGeometry works?

I'm using Qt 4.7.
I have a model that I display in a QTableView in two columns, and my goal is to provide inline editing of this model in my QTableView.
+-----------------+----------------+
| Axis position | Axis range |
+-----------------+----------------+
| Left | Fixed [0,1] |
| Left | Source: SRC1 |
| Right | Source: SRC2 |
| Left | Fixed [5,10] |
+-----------------+----------------+
The first column is editable by using a simple QComboxBox to switch between Right and Left, and it works quite well. The problem is with my second column, which is editable using a custom widget.
This widget is kind of simple, it describes a range. So there is a QComboBox to select the kind of range ("Fixed": the values are given by the user, "Source": the value are adjusted dynamically from the min/max of a source).
Here is the source code of my custom widget:
class RangeEditor : public QWidget
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
RangeEditor( ... );
~RangeEditor();
public:
CurveView::ConfigAxes::Range range () const;
QVariant minimum() const;
QVariant maximum() const;
DataModel* model () const;
void range ( CurveView::ConfigAxes::Range range );
void minimum( QVariant minimum );
void maximum( QVariant maximum );
void model ( DataModel* model );
public slots:
void rangeTypeChanged( int type );
private: // --- External editors
QComboBox* editRange_;
QSpinBox* editMinimum_;
QSpinBox* editMaximum_;
QComboBox* editModel_;
};
RangeEditor::RangeEditor( ... ) : QWidget(parent)
{
editRange_ = new QComboBox(this);
editMinimum_ = new QSpinBox (this);
editMaximum_ = new QSpinBox (this);
editModel_ = new QComboBox(this);
QHBoxLayout* layout = new QHBoxLayout();
setLayout(layout);
layout->addWidget( editRange_ );
layout->addWidget( editMinimum_ );
layout->addWidget( editMaximum_ );
layout->addWidget( editModel_ );
editRange_->addItem( "Fixed" );
editRange_->addItem( "Source" );
editModel_->setCurrentIndex(0);
editModel_->hide();
QObject::connect( editRange_, SIGNAL(currentIndexChanged(int)),
this, SLOT (rangeTypeChanged(int)) );
}
void RangeEditor::rangeTypeChanged( int type )
{
if ( type==CurveView::ConfigAxes::FIXED )
{
editMinimum_->show();
editMaximum_->show();
editModel_->hide();
}
else if ( type==CurveView::ConfigAxes::SOURCE )
{
editMinimum_->hide();
editMaximum_->hide();
editModel_->show();
}
}
Okay, so now, I created a QStyledItemDelegate to provide the view a custom editor for my columns. Here is how I did it:
class ConfigAxesDelegate : public QStyledItemDelegate
{
public:
ConfigAxesDelegate( ... );
~ConfigAxesDelegate();
public:
virtual QWidget* createEditor ( QWidget* parent, const QStyleOptionViewItem& option, const QModelIndex& index ) const;
virtual void setEditorData ( QWidget* editor, const QModelIndex& index ) const;
virtual void setModelData ( QWidget* editor, QAbstractItemModel* model, const QModelIndex& index ) const;
virtual void updateEditorGeometry( QWidget* editor, const QStyleOptionViewItem& option, const QModelIndex& index ) const;
};
QWidget* ConfigAxesDelegate::createEditor( QWidget* parent, const QStyleOptionViewItem& option, const QModelIndex& index ) const
{
if ( index.column()==0 ) // Position
{
PositionEditor* editor = new PositionEditor(parent);
return editor;
}
else if ( index.column()==1 ) // Range
{
RangeEditor* editor = new RangeEditor(parent);
return editor;
}
else
{
return QStyledItemDelegate::createEditor(parent,option,index);
}
}
void ConfigAxesDelegate::updateEditorGeometry( QWidget* editor, const QStyleOptionViewItem& option, const QModelIndex& index ) const
{
// WHAT TO DO HERE?
editor->setGeometry( option.rect );
}
Basically, what I get is a single pixel height editor.
Here is a screenshot of the result:
I tried to changed updateEditorGeometry to the following:
void ConfigAxesDelegate::updateEditorGeometry( QWidget* editor, const QStyleOptionViewItem& option, const QModelIndex& index ) const
{
QRect r = option.rect;
r.setSize( editor->sizeHint() );
editor->setGeometry( r );
}
Which seems to fix the size problem, but not the position:
I feel kind of lost since I don't know if the problem comes from my custom widget (not providing enough information for Qt to compute its position properly), or the view (maybe some margins that would crush the editor size), or the updateEditorGeometry() method.
Any help greatly appreciated, thanks for reading!
I would say setting editor's geometry by calling:
editor->setGeometry(rect);
should work correctly; What happens in your case is that your editor is built using QHBoxLayout which has default margins and spacing set. Default height of your tableview rows is less then editor's height and this makes your editor to resize; one pixel row on your screen shot would be: top margin + what's left from controls + bottom margin.
By enabling the vertical header for your tableview you would be able to resize row height to make your editor controls completely visible.
What you could possibly do:
1.Remove\decrease spacing and margins for the layout:
QHBoxLayout* layout = new QHBoxLayout();
layout->setSpacing(1);
layout->setMargin(1);
setLayout(layout);
in this case, updating editor's geometry this way:
QRect rect = option.rect;
QSize sizeHint = editor->sizeHint();
if (rect.width()<sizeHint.width()) rect.setWidth(sizeHint.width());
if (rect.height()<sizeHint.height()) rect.setHeight(sizeHint.height());
editor->setGeometry(rect);
or just
editor->setGeometry(rect);
should work fine for you
2.You can also consider using popup editors for your rows\cells values
3.Resize widget's row heights to fit cell editors.
hope this helps, regards
