|
|
|
|
|
|
The TQObject class is the base class of all TQt objects.
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p> TQObject is the heart of the <a href="object.html">TQt object model.</a> The central feature in this model is a very powerful
|
|
mechanism for seamless object communication called <a href="signalsandslots.html">signals and slots</a>. You can
|
|
connect a signal to a slot with <a href="#connect">connect</a>() and destroy the
|
|
connection with <a href="#disconnect">disconnect</a>(). To avoid never ending notification
|
|
loops you can temporarily block signals with <a href="#blockSignals">blockSignals</a>(). The
|
|
protected functions <a href="#connectNotify">connectNotify</a>() and <a href="#disconnectNotify">disconnectNotify</a>() make it
|
|
possible to track connections.
|
|
<p> TQObjects organize themselves in object trees. When you create a
|
|
TQObject with another object as parent, the object will
|
|
automatically do an <a href="#insertChild">insertChild</a>() on the parent and thus show up
|
|
in the parent's <a href="#children">children</a>() list. The parent takes ownership of the
|
|
object i.e. it will automatically delete its children in its
|
|
destructor. You can look for an object by name and optionally type
|
|
using <a href="#child">child</a>() or <a href="#queryList">queryList</a>(), and get the list of tree roots using
|
|
<a href="#objectTrees">objectTrees</a>().
|
|
<p> Every object has an object <a href="#name">name</a>() and can report its <a href="#className">className</a>()
|
|
and whether it <a href="#inherits">inherits</a>() another class in the TQObject inheritance
|
|
hierarchy.
|
|
<p> When an object is deleted, it emits a <a href="#destroyed">destroyed</a>() signal. You can
|
|
catch this signal to avoid dangling references to TQObjects. The
|
|
<a href="ntqguardedptr.html">TQGuardedPtr</a> class provides an elegant way to use this feature.
|
|
<p> TQObjects can receive events through <a href="#event">event</a>() and filter the events
|
|
of other objects. See <a href="#installEventFilter">installEventFilter</a>() and <a href="#eventFilter">eventFilter</a>() for
|
|
details. A convenience handler, <a href="#childEvent">childEvent</a>(), can be reimplemented
|
|
to catch child events.
|
|
<p> Last but not least, TQObject provides the basic timer support in
|
|
TQt; see <a href="ntqtimer.html">TQTimer</a> for high-level support for timers.
|
|
<p> Notice that the <a href="metaobjects.html#TQ_OBJECT">TQ_OBJECT</a> macro is mandatory for any object that
|
|
implements signals, slots or properties. You also need to run the
|
|
<a href="moc.html">moc program (Meta Object Compiler)</a> on the
|
|
source file. We strongly recommend the use of this macro in <em>all</em>
|
|
subclasses of TQObject regardless of whether or not they actually
|
|
use signals, slots and properties, since failure to do so may lead
|
|
certain functions to exhibit undefined behaviour.
|
|
<p> All TQt widgets inherit TQObject. The convenience function
|
|
<a href="#isWidgetType">isWidgetType</a>() returns whether an object is actually a widget. It
|
|
is much faster than <a href="#inherits">inherits</a>( "TQWidget" ).
|
|
<p> Some TQObject functions, e.g. <a href="#children">children</a>(), <a href="#objectTrees">objectTrees</a>() and
|
|
<a href="#queryList">queryList</a>() return a <a href="ntqobjectlist.html">TQObjectList</a>. A TQObjectList is a <a href="ntqptrlist.html">TQPtrList</a> of
|
|
TQObjects. TQObjectLists support the same operations as TQPtrLists
|
|
and have an iterator class, TQObjectListIt.
|
|
<p>See also <a href="objectmodel.html">Object Model</a>.

|
|
<h3 class=fn><a name="TQObject"></a>TQObject::TQObject ( <a href="ntqobject.html">TQObject</a> * parent = 0, const char * name = 0 )
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Constructs an object called <em>name</em> with parent object, <em>parent</em>.
|
|
<p> The parent of an object may be viewed as the object's owner. For
|
|
instance, a <a href="ntqdialog.html">dialog box</a> is the parent of the
|
|
"OK" and "Cancel" buttons it contains.
|
|
<p> The destructor of a parent object destroys all child objects.
|
|
<p> Setting <em>parent</em> to 0 constructs an object with no parent. If the
|
|
object is a widget, it will become a top-level window.
|
|
<p> The object name is some text that can be used to identify a
|
|
TQObject. It's particularly useful in conjunction with <a href="designer-manual.html"><i>TQt Designer</i></a>. You can find an
|
|
object by name (and type) using <a href="#child">child</a>(). To find several objects
|
|
use <a href="#queryList">queryList</a>().
|
|
<p> <p>See also <a href="#parent">parent</a>(), <a href="#name-prop">name</a>, <a href="#child">child</a>(), and <a href="#queryList">queryList</a>().
|
|
|
|
<h3 class=fn><a name="~TQObject"></a>TQObject::~TQObject ()<tt> [virtual]</tt>
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Destroys the object, deleting all its child objects.
|
|
<p> All signals to and from the object are automatically disconnected.
|
|
<p> <b>Warning:</b> All child objects are deleted. If any of these objects
|
|
are on the stack or global, sooner or later your program will
|
|
crash. We do not recommend holding pointers to child objects from
|
|
outside the parent. If you still do, the <a href="#destroyed">TQObject::destroyed</a>()
|
|
signal gives you an opportunity to detect when an object is
|
|
destroyed.
|
|
<p> <b>Warning:</b> Deleting a TQObject while pending events are waiting to be
|
|
delivered can cause a crash. You must not delete the TQObject
|
|
directly from a thread that is not the GUI thread. Use the
|
|
<a href="#deleteLater">TQObject::deleteLater</a>() method instead, which will cause the event
|
|
loop to delete the object after all pending events have been
|
|
delivered to the object.
|
|
|
|
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="blockSignals"></a>TQObject::blockSignals ( bool block )
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Blocks signals if <em>block</em> is TRUE, or unblocks signals if <em>block</em> is FALSE.
|
|
<p> Emitted signals disappear into hyperspace if signals are blocked.
|
|
Note that the <a href="#destroyed">destroyed</a>() signals will be emitted even if the signals
|
|
for this object have been blocked.
|
|
|
|
<p>Examples: <a href="rot-example.html#x1371">rot13/rot13.cpp</a> and <a href="qaxserver-example-simple.html#x2525">simple/main.cpp</a>.
|
|
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="checkConnectArgs"></a>TQObject::checkConnectArgs ( const char * signal, const <a href="ntqobject.html">TQObject</a> * receiver, const char * member )<tt> [virtual protected]</tt>
|
|
</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p> Returns TRUE if the <em>signal</em> and the <em>member</em> arguments are
|
|
compatible; otherwise returns FALSE. (The <em>receiver</em> argument is
|
|
currently ignored.)
|
|
<p> <b>Warning:</b> We recommend that you use the default implementation and
|
|
do not reimplement this function.
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 class=fn><a href="ntqobject.html">TQObject</a> * <a name="child"></a>TQObject::child ( const char * objName, const char * inheritsClass = 0, bool recursiveSearch = TRUE )
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Searches the children and optionally grandchildren of this object,
|
|
and returns a child that is called <em>objName</em> that inherits <em>inheritsClass</em>. If <em>inheritsClass</em> is 0 (the default), any class
|
|
matches.
|
|
<p> If <em>recursiveSearch</em> is TRUE (the default), <a href="#child">child</a>() performs a
|
|
depth-first search of the object's children.
|
|
<p> If there is no such object, this function returns 0. If there are
|
|
more than one, the first one found is retured; if you need all of
|
|
them, use <a href="#queryList">queryList</a>().
|
|
|
|
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="childEvent"></a>TQObject::childEvent ( <a href="qchildevent.html">TQChildEvent</a> * )<tt> [virtual protected]</tt>
|
|
</h3>
|
|
This event handler can be reimplemented in a subclass to receive
|
|
child events.
|
|
<p> Child events are sent to objects when children are inserted or
|
|
removed.
|
|
<p> Note that events with <a href="ntqevent.html#type">TQEvent::type</a>() <a href="ntqevent.html#Type-enum">TQEvent::ChildInserted</a> are
|
|
posted (with <a href="ntqapplication.html#postEvent">TQApplication::postEvent</a>()) to make sure that the
|
|
child's construction is completed before this function is called.
|
|
<p> If a child is removed immediately after it is inserted, the <tt>ChildInserted</tt> event may be suppressed, but the <tt>ChildRemoved</tt>
|
|
event will always be sent. In such cases it is possible that there
|
|
will be a <tt>ChildRemoved</tt> event without a corresponding <tt>ChildInserted</tt> event.
|
|
<p> If you change state based on <tt>ChildInserted</tt> events, call
|
|
<a href="ntqwidget.html#constPolish">TQWidget::constPolish</a>(), or do
|
|
<pre>
|
|
TQApplication::<a href="ntqapplication.html#sendPostedEvents">sendPostedEvents</a>( this, TQEvent::ChildInserted );
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
in functions that depend on the state. One notable example is
|
|
<a href="ntqwidget.html#sizeHint">TQWidget::sizeHint</a>().
|
|
<p> <p>See also <a href="#event">event</a>() and <a href="qchildevent.html">TQChildEvent</a>.
|
|
|
|
<p>Reimplemented in <a href="ntqmainwindow.html#childEvent">TQMainWindow</a> and <a href="ntqsplitter.html#childEvent">TQSplitter</a>.
|
|
<h3 class=fn>const <a href="ntqobjectlist.html">TQObjectList</a> * <a name="children"></a>TQObject::children () const
|
|
</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p> Returns a list of child objects, or 0 if this object has no
|
|
children.
|
|
<p> The <a href="ntqobjectlist.html">TQObjectList</a> class is defined in the <a href="qobjectlist-h.html">ntqobjectlist.h</a> header
|
|
file.
|
|
<p> The first child added is the <a href="ntqptrlist.html#first">first</a>
|
|
object in the list and the last child added is the <a href="ntqptrlist.html#last">last</a> object in the list, i.e. new
|
|
children are appended at the end.
|
|
<p> Note that the list order changes when <a href="ntqwidget.html">TQWidget</a> children are <a href="ntqwidget.html#raise">raised</a> or <a href="ntqwidget.html#lower">lowered.</a> A widget that is raised becomes the last object
|
|
in the list, and a widget that is lowered becomes the first object
|
|
in the list.
|
|
<p> <p>See also <a href="#child">child</a>(), <a href="#queryList">queryList</a>(), <a href="#parent">parent</a>(), <a href="#insertChild">insertChild</a>(), and <a href="#removeChild">removeChild</a>().
|
|
|
|
<h3 class=fn>const char * <a name="className"></a>TQObject::className () const<tt> [virtual]</tt>
|
|
</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p> Returns the class name of this object.
|
|
<p> This function is generated by the <a href="metaobjects.html">Meta

</h3>
|
|
Connects <em>signal</em> from the <em>sender</em> object to <em>member</em> in object
|
|
<em>receiver</em>, and returns TRUE if the connection succeeds; otherwise
|
|
returns FALSE.
|
|
<p> You must use the TQ_SIGNAL() and TQ_SLOT() macros when specifying the <em>signal</em>
|
|
and the <em>member</em>, for example:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
<a href="ntqlabel.html">TQLabel</a> *label = new <a href="ntqlabel.html">TQLabel</a>;
|
|
<a href="ntqscrollbar.html">TQScrollBar</a> *scroll = new <a href="ntqscrollbar.html">TQScrollBar</a>;
|
|
TQObject::<a href="#connect">connect</a>( scroll, TQ_SIGNAL(<a href="ntqscrollbar.html#valueChanged">valueChanged</a>(int)),
|
|
label, TQ_SLOT(<a href="ntqlabel.html#setNum">setNum</a>(int)) );
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p> This example ensures that the label always displays the current
|
|
scroll bar value. Note that the signal and slots parameters must not
|
|
contain any variable names, only the type. E.g. the following would
|
|
not work and return FALSE:
|
|
<a href="#connect">TQObject::connect</a>( scroll, TQ_SIGNAL(valueChanged(int v)),
|
|
label, TQ_SLOT(setNum(int v)) );
|
|
<p> A signal can also be connected to another signal:
|
|
<p> <pre>
|
|
class MyWidget : public <a href="ntqwidget.html">TQWidget</a>
|
|
{
|
|
<a href="metaobjects.html#TQ_OBJECT">TQ_OBJECT</a>
|
|
public:
|
|
MyWidget();
|
|
|
|
signals:
|
|
void myUsefulSignal();
|
|
|
|
private:
|
|
<a href="ntqpushbutton.html">TQPushButton</a> *aButton;
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
MyWidget::MyWidget()
|
|
{
|
|
aButton = new <a href="ntqpushbutton.html">TQPushButton</a>( this );
|
|
<a href="#connect">connect</a>( aButton, TQ_SIGNAL(<a href="ntqbutton.html#clicked">clicked</a>()), TQ_SIGNAL(myUsefulSignal()) );
|
|
}
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p> In this example, the MyWidget constructor relays a signal from a
|
|
private member variable, and makes it available under a name that
|
|
relates to MyWidget.
|
|
<p> A signal can be connected to many slots and signals. Many signals
|
|
can be connected to one slot.
|
|
<p> If a signal is connected to several slots, the slots are activated
|
|
in an arbitrary order when the signal is emitted.
|
|
<p> The function returns TRUE if it successfully connects the signal
|
|
to the slot. It will return FALSE if it cannot create the
|
|
connection, for example, if TQObject is unable to verify the
|
|
existence of either <em>signal</em> or <em>member</em>, or if their signatures
|
|
aren't compatible.
|
|
<p> A signal is emitted for <em>every</em> connection you make, so if you
|
|
duplicate a connection, two signals will be emitted. You can
|
|
always break a connection using <a href="#disconnect">disconnect</a>().
|
|
<p> <p>See also <a href="#disconnect">disconnect</a>().

|
|
<p> <b>Warning:</b> This function violates the object-oriented principle of

<p> This signal is emitted when the object is being destroyed.
|
|
<p> Note that the signal is emitted by the TQObject destructor, so

the object's virtual table is already degenerated at this point,
|
|
and it is not safe to call any functions on the object emitting
|

the signal. This signal can not be blocked.

<p> A signal-slot connection is removed when either of the objects

<p> <a href="#disconnect">disconnect</a>() is typically used in three ways, as the following

<ol type=1>
|

<pre>
|

|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
equivalent to the non-static overloaded function
|
|
<pre>
|
|
myObject->disconnect();
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<li> Disconnect everything connected to a specific signal:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
<a href="#disconnect">disconnect</a>( myObject, TQ_SIGNAL(mySignal()), 0, 0 );
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|

equivalent to the non-static overloaded function
|
|
<pre>
|

</pre>
|
|
|
|
<li> Disconnect a specific receiver:

|
<pre>
|
|
<a href="#disconnect">disconnect</a>( myObject, 0, myReceiver, 0 );
|
|
</pre>
|
|

<pre>
|

|
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p> 0 may be used as a wildcard, meaning "any signal", "any receiving
|
|
object", or "any slot in the receiving object", respectively.
|
|
<p> The <em>sender</em> may never be 0. (You cannot disconnect signals from
|
|
more than one object in a single call.)
|
|
<p> If <em>signal</em> is 0, it disconnects <em>receiver</em> and <em>member</em> from
|
|
any signal. If not, only the specified signal is disconnected.
|
|
<p> If <em>receiver</em> is 0, it disconnects anything connected to <em>signal</em>. If not, slots in objects other than <em>receiver</em> are not
|
|
disconnected.
|
|
<p> If <em>member</em> is 0, it disconnects anything that is connected to <em>receiver</em>. If not, only slots named <em>member</em> will be disconnected,
|
|
and all other slots are left alone. The <em>member</em> must be 0 if <em>receiver</em> is left out, so you cannot disconnect a
|
|
specifically-named slot on all objects.

|
|
<p> An event filter is an object that receives all events that are

<h3 class=fn>void <a name="killTimer"></a>TQObject::killTimer ( int id )
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Kills the timer with timer identifier, <em>id</em>.
|
|
<p> The timer identifier is returned by <a href="#startTimer">startTimer</a>() when a timer
|
|
event is started.
|
|

|
|
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="killTimers"></a>TQObject::killTimers ()
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Kills all timers that this object has started.
|
|
<p> <b>Warning:</b> Using this function can cause hard-to-find bugs: it kills
|
|
timers started by sub- and superclasses as well as those started
|
|
by you, which is often not what you want. We recommend using a
|
|
<a href="ntqtimer.html">TQTimer</a> or perhaps <a href="#killTimer">killTimer</a>().

|
|
</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p> Returns a pointer to the <a href="metaobjects.html#meta-object">meta object</a> of this object.
|
|
<p> A meta object contains information about a class that inherits
|
|
TQObject, e.g. class name, superclass name, properties, signals and
|
|
slots. Every class that contains the <a href="metaobjects.html#TQ_OBJECT">TQ_OBJECT</a> macro will also have
|
|
a meta object.
|
|
<p> The meta object information is required by the signal/slot
|
|
connection mechanism and the property system. The functions <a href="#isA">isA</a>()
|
|
and <a href="#inherits">inherits</a>() also make use of the meta object.
|

Returns a pointer to the list of all object trees (their root
|
|
objects), or 0 if there are no objects.
|
|
<p> The <a href="ntqobjectlist.html">TQObjectList</a> class is defined in the <a href="qobjectlist-h.html">ntqobjectlist.h</a> header

<h3 class=fn><a href="ntqvariant.html">TQVariant</a> <a name="property"></a>TQObject::property ( const char * name ) const<tt> [virtual]</tt>
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Returns the value of the object's <em>name</em> property.
|
|
<p> If no such property exists, the returned variant is invalid.

<h3 class=fn><a href="ntqobjectlist.html">TQObjectList</a> * <a name="queryList"></a>TQObject::queryList ( const char * inheritsClass = 0, const char * objName = 0, bool regexpMatch = TRUE, bool recursiveSearch = TRUE ) const
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Searches the children and optionally grandchildren of this object,
|
|
and returns a list of those objects that are named or that match
|
|
<em>objName</em> and inherit <em>inheritsClass</em>. If <em>inheritsClass</em> is 0
|
|
(the default), all classes match. If <em>objName</em> is 0 (the
|
|
default), all object names match.
|
|
<p> If <em>regexpMatch</em> is TRUE (the default), <em>objName</em> is a <a href="ntqregexp.html#regular-expression">regular expression</a> that the objects's names must match. The syntax is that
|
|
of a <a href="ntqregexp.html">TQRegExp</a>. If <em>regexpMatch</em> is FALSE, <em>objName</em> is a string
|
|
and object names must match it exactly.
|
|
<p> Note that <em>inheritsClass</em> uses single inheritance from TQObject,
|
|
the way <a href="#inherits">inherits</a>() does. According to inherits(), <a href="ntqmenubar.html">TQMenuBar</a>
|
|
inherits <a href="ntqwidget.html">TQWidget</a> but not <a href="ntqmenudata.html">TQMenuData</a>. This does not quite match
|
|
reality, but is the best that can be done on the wide variety of
|
|
compilers TQt supports.
|
|
<p> Finally, if <em>recursiveSearch</em> is TRUE (the default), <a href="#queryList">queryList</a>()
|
|
searches <em>n</em>th-generation as well as first-generation children.
|
|
<p> If all this seems a bit complex for your needs, the simpler
|
|
<a href="#child">child</a>() function may be what you want.
|
|
<p> This somewhat contrived example disables all the buttons in this

|
window:
|

<pre>
|

<a href="ntqobjectlist.html">TQObjectList</a> *l = topLevelWidget()->queryList( "TQButton" );
|
|
TQObjectListIt it( *l ); // iterate over the buttons
|
|
TQObject *obj;
|
|
|
|
while ( (obj = it.current()) != 0 ) {
|
|
// for each found object...
|
|
++it;
|
|
((TQButton*)obj)->setEnabled( FALSE );
|
|
}

delete l; // delete the list, not the objects

<p> <b>Warning:</b> Delete the list as soon you have finished using it. The

<h3 class=fn>void <a name="removeChild"></a>TQObject::removeChild ( <a href="ntqobject.html">TQObject</a> * obj )<tt> [virtual]</tt>

|
|
Removes the child object <em>obj</em> from the list of children.

<h3 class=fn>void <a name="removeEventFilter"></a>TQObject::removeEventFilter ( const <a href="ntqobject.html">TQObject</a> * obj )
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Removes an event filter object <em>obj</em> from this object. The
|
|
request is ignored if such an event filter has not been installed.
|
|
<p> All event filters for this object are automatically removed when
|
|
this object is destroyed.
|
|
<p> It is always safe to remove an event filter, even during event

filter activation (i.e. from the <a href="#eventFilter">eventFilter</a>() function).

<h3 class=fn>const <a href="ntqobject.html">TQObject</a> * <a name="sender"></a>TQObject::sender ()<tt> [protected]</tt>
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Returns a pointer to the object that sent the signal, if called in
|
|
a slot activated by a signal; otherwise it returns 0. The pointer
|
|
is valid only during the execution of the slot that calls this
|
|
function.
|
|
<p> The pointer returned by this function becomes invalid if the
|
|
sender is destroyed, or if the slot is disconnected from the
|
|
sender's signal.
|
|
<p> <b>Warning:</b> This function violates the object-oriented principle of
|
|
modularity. However, getting access to the sender might be useful
|
|
when many signals are connected to a single slot. The sender is
|
|
undefined if the slot is called as a normal C++ function.

<h3 class=fn>int <a name="startTimer"></a>TQObject::startTimer ( int interval )
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Starts a timer and returns a timer identifier, or returns zero if
|
|
it could not start a timer.
|
|
<p> A timer event will occur every <em>interval</em> milliseconds until
|
|
<a href="#killTimer">killTimer</a>() or <a href="#killTimers">killTimers</a>() is called. If <em>interval</em> is 0, then
|
|
the timer event occurs once every time there are no more window
|
|
system events to process.
|
|
<p> The virtual <a href="#timerEvent">timerEvent</a>() function is called with the <a href="qtimerevent.html">TQTimerEvent</a>
|
|
event parameter class when a timer event occurs. Reimplement this
|
|
function to get timer events.
|
|
<p> If multiple timers are running, the <a href="qtimerevent.html#timerId">TQTimerEvent::timerId</a>() can be
|
|
used to find out which timer was activated.

<pre>
|
|
class MyObject : public TQObject

</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p> Note that <a href="ntqtimer.html">TQTimer</a>'s accuracy depends on the underlying operating

|
system and hardware. Most platforms support an accuracy of 20 ms;

some provide more. If TQt is unable to deliver the requested

number of timer clicks, it will silently discard some.

<p>This property holds the name of this object.

find a set of objects with <a href="#queryList">queryList</a>().
