<p> <a href="tqobject.html">TQObjects</a> organize themselves in object trees.
|
|
When you create a <a href="tqobject.html">TQObject</a> with another object as parent, it's added to
|
|
the parent's <a href="tqobject.html#children">children()</a> list, and
|
|
is deleted when the parent is. It turns out that this approach fits
|
|
the needs of GUI objects very well. For example, a <a href="tqaccel.html">TQAccel</a> (keyboard
|
|
accelerator) is a child of the relevant window, so when the user closes
|
|
that window, the accelerator is deleted too.
|
|
<p> The static function <a href="tqobject.html#objectTrees">TQObject::objectTrees</a>() provides access to all
|
|
the root objects that currently exist.
|
|
<p> <a href="tqwidget.html">TQWidget</a>, the base class of everything that appears on the screen,
|
|
extends the parent-child relationship. A child normally also becomes a
|
|
child widget, i.e. it is displayed in its parent's coordinate system
|
|
and is graphically clipped by its parent's boundaries. For example,
|
|
when the an application deletes a message box after it has been
|
|
closed, the message box's buttons and label are also deleted, just as
|
|
we'd want, because the buttons and label are children of the message
|
|
box.
|
|
<p> You can also delete child objects yourself, and they will remove
|
|
themselves from their parents. For example, when the user removes a
|
|
toolbar it may lead to the application deleting one of its <a href="tqtoolbar.html">TQToolBar</a>
|
|
objects, in which case the tool bar's <a href="tqmainwindow.html">TQMainWindow</a> parent would
|
|
detect the change and reconfigure its screen space accordingly.
|
|
<p> The debugging functions <a href="tqobject.html#dumpObjectTree">TQObject::dumpObjectTree</a>() and <a href="tqobject.html#dumpObjectInfo">TQObject::dumpObjectInfo</a>() are often useful when an application looks or
|
|
acts strangely.
