The TQTableItem class provides the cell content for TQTable cells. More...
#include <qtable.h>
Inherits TQt.
Inherited by TQComboTableItem and TQCheckTableItem.
For many applications TQTableItems are ideal for presenting and editing the contents of TQTable cells. In situations where you need to create very large tables you may prefer an alternative approach to using TQTableItems: see the notes on large tables.
A TQTableItem contains a cell's data, by default, a string and a pixmap. The table item also holds the cell's display size and how the data should be aligned. The table item specifies the cell's EditType and the editor used for in-place editing (by default a TQLineEdit). If you want checkboxes use TQCheckTableItem, and if you want comboboxes use TQComboTableItem. The EditType (set in the constructor) determines whether the cell's contents may be edited.
If a pixmap is specified it is displayed to the left of any text. You can change the text or pixmap with setText() and setPixmap() respectively. For text you can use setWordWrap().
When sorting table items the key() function is used; by default this returns the table item's text(). Reimplement key() to customize how your table items will sort.
Table items are inserted into a table using TQTable::setItem(). If you insert an item into a cell that already contains a table item the original item will be deleted.
Example:
for ( int row = 0; row < table->numRows(); row++ ) {
for ( int col = 0; col < table->numCols(); col++ ) {
table->setItem( row, col,
new TQTableItem( table, TQTableItem::WhenCurrent, TQString::number( row * col ) ) );
}
}
You can move a table item from one cell to another, in the same or a different table, using TQTable::takeItem() and TQTable::setItem() but see also TQTable::swapCells().
Table items can be deleted with delete in the standard way; the table and cell will be updated accordingly.
Note, that if you have a table item that is not currently in a table then anything you do to that item other than insert it into a table will result in undefined behaviour.
Reimplement createEditor() and setContentFromEditor() if you want to use your own widget instead of a TQLineEdit for editing cell contents. Reimplement paint() if you want to display custom content.
It is important to ensure that your custom widget can accept the keyboard focus, so that the user can use the tab key to navigate the table as normal. Therefore, if the widget returned by createEditor() does not itself accept the keyboard focus, it is necessary to nominate a child widget to do so on its behalf. For example, a TQHBox with two child TQLineEdit widgets may use one of them to accept the keyboard focus:
TQWidget* MyTableItem::createEditor() const
{
TQHBox* hbox = new TQHBox( table()->viewport() );
hbox->setFocusProxy(new TQLineEdit( hbox ));
new TQLineEdit( hbox );
return hbox;
}
By default, table items may be replaced by new TQTableItems during the lifetime of a TQTable. Therefore, if you create your own subclass of TQTableItem, and you want to ensure that this does not happen, you must call setReplaceable(FALSE) in the constructor of your subclass.
See also TQCheckTableItem, TQComboTableItem, and Advanced Widgets.
This enum is used to define whether a cell is editable or read-only (in conjunction with other settings), and how the cell should be displayed.
Using this EditType ensures that the editor created with createEditor() (by default a TQLineEdit) is always visible. This has implications for the alignment of the content: the default editor aligns everything (even numbers) to the left whilst numerical values in the cell are by default aligned to the right.
If a cell with the edit type Always looks misaligned you could reimplement createEditor() for these items.
The OnTyping edit type is the default when TQTableItem objects are created by the convenience functions TQTable::setText() and TQTable::setPixmap().
The cell is actually editable only if TQTable::isRowReadOnly() is FALSE for its row, TQTable::isColumnReadOnly() is FALSE for its column, and TQTable::isReadOnly() is FALSE.
TQComboTableItems have an isEditable() property. This property is used to indicate whether the user may enter their own text or are restricted to choosing one of the choices in the list. TQComboTableItems may be interacted with only if they are editable in accordance with their EditType as described above.
The table item will use a TQLineEdit for its editor, will not word-wrap and will occupy a single cell. Insert the table item into a table with TQTable::setItem().
The table takes ownership of the table item, so a table item should not be inserted into more than one table at a time.

The table item will display the pixmap to the left of the text. It will use a TQLineEdit for editing the text, will not word-wrap and will occupy a single cell. Insert the table item into a table with TQTable::setItem().
The table takes ownership of the table item, so a table item should not be inserted in more than one table at a time.
If the table item is in a table (i.e. was inserted with setItem()), it will be removed from the table and the cell it occupied.
See also TQt::AlignmentFlags.
Example: table/bigtable/main.cpp.
See also setSpan() and rowSpan().
If the function returns 0, the cell is read-only.
The returned widget should preferably be invisible, ideally with TQTable::viewport() as parent.
If you reimplement this function you'll almost certainly need to reimplement setContentFromEditor(), and may need to reimplement sizeHint().
TQWidget *ComboItem::createEditor() const
{
// create an editor - a combobox in our case
( (ComboItem*)this )->cb = new TQComboBox( table()->viewport() );
TQObject::connect( cb, SIGNAL( activated( int ) ), table(), SLOT( doValueChanged() ) );
cb->insertItem( "Yes" );
cb->insertItem( "No" );
// and initialize it
cb->setCurrentItem( text() == "No" ? 1 : 0 );
return cb;
See also TQTable::createEditor(), setContentFromEditor(), TQTable::viewport(), and setReplaceable().
Example: table/statistics/statistics.cpp.
This is set when the table item is constructed.
See also EditType and TQTableItem().
See also setEnabled().
(This differs from EditType because EditType is concerned with whether the user is able to change the contents of a cell.)
See also setReplaceable() and EditType.
See also TQTable::sorting.
If selected is TRUE the cell is displayed in a way that indicates that it is highlighted.
You don't usually need to use this function but if you want to draw custom content in a cell you will need to reimplement it.
The painter passed to this function is translated so that 0, 0 is the top-left corner of the item that is being painted.
Note that the painter is not clipped by default in order to get maximum efficiency. If you want clipping, use
p->setClipRect( table()->cellRect(row, col), TQPainter::ClipPainter );
//... your drawing code
p->setClipping( FALSE );
Example: table/statistics/statistics.cpp.
See also setPixmap() and text().
Example: table/bigtable/main.cpp.
See also setSpan() and colSpan().
When you create subclasses based on TQTableItem make sure that each subclass returns a unique rtti() value. It is advisable to use values greater than 1000, preferably large random numbers, to allow for extensions to this class.
See also TQCheckTableItem::rtti() and TQComboTableItem::rtti().
Reimplemented in TQComboTableItem and TQCheckTableItem.
If the cell spans multiple columns, this function sets the left-most column and retains the width of the multi-cell table item.
See also col(), setRow(), and colSpan().
If you reimplement createEditor() and return something that is not a TQLineEdit you will need to reimplement this function.
void ComboItem::setContentFromEditor( TQWidget *w )
{
// the user changed the value of the combobox, so synchronize the
// value of the item (its text), with the value of the combobox
if ( w->inherits( "TQComboBox" ) )
setText( ( (TQComboBox*)w )->currentText() );
else
TQTableItem::setContentFromEditor( w );
See also TQTable::setCellContentFromEditor().
Example: table/statistics/statistics.cpp.
A disabled item doesn't respond to user interaction.
See also isEnabled().
Note that setPixmap() does not update the cell the table item belongs to. Use TQTable::updateCell() to repaint the cell's contents.
For TQComboTableItems and TQCheckTableItems this function has no visible effect.
See also TQTable::setPixmap(), pixmap(), and setText().
(This differs from EditType because EditType is concerned with whether the user is able to change the contents of a cell.)
See also isReplaceable().
If the cell spans multiple rows, this function sets the top row and retains the height of the multi-cell table item.
See also row(), setCol(), and rowSpan().
Warning: This function only works if the item has already been inserted into the table using e.g. TQTable::setItem(). This function also checks to make sure if rs and cs are within the bounds of the table and returns without changing the span if they are not. In addition swapping, inserting or removing rows and columns that cross TQTableItems spanning more than one cell is not supported.
See also rowSpan() and colSpan().
Note that setText() does not update the cell the table item belongs to. Use TQTable::updateCell() to repaint the cell's contents.
See also TQTable::setText(), text(), setPixmap(), and TQTable::updateCell().
Example: table/statistics/statistics.cpp.
See also wordWrap(), TQTable::adjustColumn(), and TQTable::setColumnStretchable().
If you subclass TQTableItem you will often need to reimplement this function.
Returns the TQTable the table item belongs to.
See also TQTable::setItem() and TQTableItem().
To ensure that the current value of the editor is returned, setContentFromEditor() is called:
This means that text() returns the original text value of the item if the editor is a line edit, until the user commits an edit (e.g. by pressing Enter or Tab) in which case the new text is returned. For other editors (e.g. a combobox) setContentFromEditor() is always called so the currently display value is the one returned.
See also setText() and pixmap().
See also setWordWrap().
