## Detailed Description

The TQStyle class specifies the look and feel of a GUI.

A large number of GUI elements are common to many widgets. The TQStyle class allows the look of these elements to be modified across all widgets that use the TQStyle functions. It also provides two feel options: Motif and Windows.

Although it is not possible to fully enumerate the look of graphical elements and the feel of widgets in a GUI, TQStyle provides a considerable amount of control and customisability.

In TQt 1.x the look and feel option for widgets was specified by a single value: the GUIStyle. Starting with TQt 2.0, this notion was expanded to allow the look to be specified by virtual drawing functions.

Derived classes may reimplement some or all of the drawing functions to modify the look of all widgets that use those functions.

Languages written from right to left (such as Arabic and Hebrew) usually also mirror the whole layout of widgets. If you design a style, you should take special care when drawing asymmetric elements to make sure that they also look correct in a mirrored layout. You can start your application with `-reverse` to check the mirrored layout. Also notice, that for a reversed layout, the light usually comes from top right instead of top left.

The actual reverse layout is performed automatically when possible. However, for the sake of flexibility, the translation cannot be performed everywhere. The documentation for each function in the TQStyle API states whether the function expects/returns logical or screen coordinates. Using logical coordinates (in ComplexControls, for example) provides great flexibility in controlling the look of a widget. Use visualRect() when necessary to translate logical coordinates into screen coordinates for drawing.

In TQt versions prior to 3.0, if you wanted a low level route into changing the appearance of a widget, you would reimplement polish(). With the new 3.0 style engine the recommended approach is to reimplement the draw functions, for example drawItem(), drawPrimitive(), drawControl(), drawControlMask(), drawComplexControl() and drawComplexControlMask(). Each of these functions is called with a range of parameters that provide information that you can use to determine how to draw them, e.g. style flags, rectangle, color group, etc.

For information on changing elements of an existing style or creating your own style see the Style overview.

Styles can also be created as plugins.

See also drawControl() and ControlElement.

### void TQStyle::drawItem ( TQPainter * p, const TQRect & r, int flags, const TQColorGroup & g, bool enabled, const TQPixmap * pixmap, const TQString & text, int len = -1, const TQColor * penColor = 0 ) const`[virtual]`

Draws the text or pixmap in rectangle r using painter p and color group g. The pen color is specified with penColor. The enabled bool indicates whether or not the item is enabled; when reimplementing this bool should influence how the item is drawn. If len is -1 (the default) all the text is drawn; otherwise only the first len characters of text are drawn. The text is aligned and wrapped according to the alignment flags (see TQt::AlignmentFlags).

By default, if both the text and the pixmap are not null, the pixmap is drawn and the text is ignored.

### void TQStyle::drawPrimitive ( PrimitiveElement pe, TQPainter * p, const TQRect & r, const TQColorGroup & cg, SFlags flags = Style_Default, const TQStyleOption & opt = TQStyleOption::Default ) const`[pure virtual]`

Draws the style PrimitiveElement pe using the painter p in the area r. Colors are used from the color group cg.

The rect r should be in screen coordinates.

The flags argument is used to control how the PrimitiveElement is drawn. Multiple flags can be OR'ed together.

For example, a pressed button would be drawn with the flags Style_Enabled and Style_Down.

The opt argument can be used to control how various PrimitiveElements are drawn. Note that opt may be the default value even for PrimitiveElements that make use of extra options. When opt is non-default, it is used as follows:

PrimitiveElement | Options | Notes
--- | --- | ---
PE_FocusRect | TQStyleOption ( const TQColor & bg ) opt.color() | bg is the background color on which the focus rect is being drawn.
PE_Panel | TQStyleOption ( int linewidth, int midlinewidth ) opt.lineWidth() opt.midLineWidth() | linewidth is the line width for drawing the panel.
midlinewidth is the mid-line width for drawing the panel.

For all other PrimitiveElements, opt is unused.

See also StyleFlags.

Example: themes/wood.cpp.

### TQRect TQStyle::itemRect ( TQPainter * p, const TQRect & r, int flags, bool enabled, const TQPixmap * pixmap, const TQString & text, int len = -1 ) const`[virtual]`

Returns the appropriate area (see below) within rectangle r in which to draw the text or pixmap using painter p. If len is -1 (the default) all the text is drawn; otherwise only the first len characters of text are drawn. The text is aligned in accordance with the alignment flags (see TQt::AlignmentFlags). The enabled bool indicates whether or not the item is enabled.

If r is larger than the area needed to render the text the rectangle that is returned will be offset within r in accordance with the alignment flags. For example if flags is AlignCenter the returned rectangle will be centered within r. If r is smaller than the area needed the rectangle that is returned will be larger than r (the smallest rectangle large enough to render the text or pixmap).

By default, if both the text and the pixmap are not null, the pixmap is drawn and the text is ignored.

### int TQStyle::pixelMetric ( PixelMetric metric, const TQWidget * widget = 0 ) const`[pure virtual]`

Returns the pixel metric for metric. The widget argument is a pointer to a TQWidget or one of its subclasses. The widget can be cast to the appropriate type based on the value of metric. Note that widget may be zero even for PixelMetrics that can make use of widget. See the table below for the appropriate widget casts:

### void TQStyle::polish ( TQWidget * )`[virtual]`

Initializes the appearance of a widget.

This function is called for every widget at some point after it has been fully created but just before it is shown the very first time.

Reasonable actions in this function might be to call TQWidget::setBackgroundMode() for the widget. An example of highly unreasonable use would be setting the geometry! Reimplementing this function gives you a back-door through which you can change the appearance of a widget. With TQt 3.0's style engine you will rarely need to write your own polish(); instead reimplement drawItem(), drawPrimitive(), etc.

The TQWidget::inherits() function may provide enough information to allow class-specific customizations. But be careful not to hard-code things too much because new TQStyle subclasses are expected to work reasonably with all current and future widgets.

See also unPolish().

### void TQStyle::polish ( TQApplication * )`[virtual]`

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.

Late initialization of the TQApplication object.

See also unPolish().

### void TQStyle::polish ( TQPalette & )`[virtual]`

See also TQPalette and TQApplication::setPalette().

### void TQStyle::polishPopupMenu ( TQPopupMenu * )`[pure virtual]`

Polishes the popup menu according to the GUI style. This usually means setting the mouse tracking (TQPopupMenu::setMouseTracking()) and whether the menu is checkable by default (TQPopupMenu::setCheckable()).

### SubControl TQStyle::querySubControl ( ComplexControl control, const TQWidget * widget, const TQPoint & pos, const TQStyleOption & opt = TQStyleOption::Default ) const`[pure virtual]`

Returns the SubControl for widget at the point pos. The widget argument is a pointer to a TQWidget or one of its subclasses. The widget can be cast to the appropriate type based on the value of control. The opt argument can be used to pass extra information required when drawing the ComplexControl. Note that opt may be the default value even for ComplexControls that can make use of the extra options. See drawComplexControl() for an explanation of the widget and opt arguments.

Note that pos is passed in screen coordinates. When using querySubControlMetrics() to check for hits and misses, use visualRect() to change the logical coordinates into screen coordinates.

See also drawComplexControl(), ComplexControl, SubControl, and querySubControlMetrics().

The tear-off handle (SR_DockWindowHandleRect) for TQDockWindow is a private class. Use TQWidget::parentWidget() to access the TQDockWindow:

            if ( !widget->parentWidget() )
                return;
            const TQDockWindow *dw = (const TQDockWindow *) widget->parentWidget();

### void TQStyle::tabbarMetrics ( const TQWidget * t, int & hf, int & vf, int & ov ) const

This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source working. We strongly advise against using it in new code.

### void TQStyle::unPolish ( TQWidget * )`[virtual]`

Undoes the initialization of a widget's appearance.

This function is the counterpart to polish. It is called for every polished widget when the style is dynamically changed. The former style has to unpolish its settings before the new style can polish them again.

See also polish().

### void TQStyle::unPolish ( TQApplication * )`[virtual]`

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.

Undoes the application polish.

See also polish().

### TQRect TQStyle::visualRect ( const TQRect & logical, const TQWidget * w )`[static]`

Returns the rect logical in screen coordinates. The bounding rect for widget w is used to perform the translation. This function is provided to aid style implementors in supporting right-to-left mode.

See also TQApplication::reverseLayout().

### TQRect TQStyle::visualRect ( const TQRect & logical, const TQRect & bounding )`[static]`

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.

Returns the rect logical in screen coordinates. The rect bounding is used to perform the translation. This function is provided to aid style implementors in supporting right-to-left mode.

See also TQApplication::reverseLayout().
