<hr><a name="details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
The TQListBox widget provides a list of selectable, read-only items.
<p>
<p> This is typically a single-column list in which either no item or
one item is selected, but it can also be used in many other ways.
<p> TQListBox will add scroll bars as necessary, but it isn't intended
for <em>really</em> big lists. If you want more than a few thousand
items, it's probably better to use a different widget mainly
because the scroll bars won't provide very good navigation, but
also because TQListBox may become slow with huge lists. (See
<a href="tqlistview.html">TQListView</a> and <a href="tqtable.html">TQTable</a> for possible alternatives.)
<p> There are a variety of selection modes described in the
TQListBox::SelectionMode documentation. The default is <a href="#SelectionMode-enum">Single</a>
selection mode, but you can change it using <a href="#setSelectionMode">setSelectionMode</a>().
(<a href="#setMultiSelection">setMultiSelection</a>() is still provided for compatibility with TQt
1.x. We recommend using setSelectionMode() in all code.)
<p> Because TQListBox offers multiple selection it must display
<a href="focus.html#keyboard-focus">keyboard focus</a> and selection state separately. Therefore there are
functions both to set the selection state of an item, i.e.
<a href="#setSelected">setSelected</a>(), and to set which item displays keyboard focus, i.e.
<a href="#setCurrentItem">setCurrentItem</a>().
<p> The list box normally arranges its items in a single column and
adds a vertical scroll bar if required. It is possible to have a
different fixed number of columns (<a href="#setColumnMode">setColumnMode</a>()), or as many
columns as will fit in the list box's assigned screen space
(setColumnMode(FitToWidth)), or to have a fixed number of rows
(<a href="#setRowMode">setRowMode</a>()) or as many rows as will fit in the list box's
assigned screen space (setRowMode(FitToHeight)). In all these
cases TQListBox will add scroll bars, as appropriate, in at least
one direction.
<p> If multiple rows are used, each row can be as high as necessary
(the normal setting), or you can request that all items will have
the same height by calling <a href="#setVariableHeight">setVariableHeight</a>(FALSE). The same
applies to a column's width, see <a href="#setVariableWidth">setVariableWidth</a>().
<p> The TQListBox's items are <a href="tqlistboxitem.html">TQListBoxItem</a> objects. TQListBox provides
methods to insert new items as strings, as pixmaps, and as
TQListBoxItem * (<a href="#insertItem">insertItem</a>() with various arguments), and to
replace an existing item with a new string, pixmap or TQListBoxItem
(<a href="#changeItem">changeItem</a>() with various arguments). You can also remove items
singly with <a href="#removeItem">removeItem</a>() or <a href="#clear">clear</a>() the entire list box. Note that
if you create a TQListBoxItem yourself and insert it, TQListBox
takes ownership of the item.
<p> You can also create a TQListBoxItem, such as <a href="tqlistboxtext.html">TQListBoxText</a> or
<a href="tqlistboxpixmap.html">TQListBoxPixmap</a>, with the list box as first parameter. The item
will then append itself. When you delete an item it is
automatically removed from the list box.
<p> The list of items can be arbitrarily large; TQListBox will add
scroll bars if necessary. TQListBox can display a single-column
(the common case) or multiple-columns, and offers both single and
multiple selection. TQListBox does not support multiple-column
items (but <a href="tqlistview.html">TQListView</a> and <a href="tqtable.html">TQTable</a> do), or tree hierarchies (but
TQListView does).
<p> The list box items can be accessed both as <a href="tqlistboxitem.html">TQListBoxItem</a> objects
(recommended) and using integer indexes (the original TQListBox
implementation used an array of strings internally, and the API
still supports this mode of operation). Everything can be done
using the new objects, and most things can be done using indexes.
<p> Each item in a TQListBox contains a TQListBoxItem. One of the items
can be the current item. The <a href="#currentChanged">currentChanged</a>() signal and the
<a href="#highlighted">highlighted</a>() signal are emitted when a new item becomes current,
e.g. because the user clicks on it or <a href="#setCurrentItem">TQListBox::setCurrentItem</a>()
is called. The <a href="#selected">selected</a>() signal is emitted when the user
double-clicks on an item or presses Enter on the current item.
<p> If the user does not select anything, no signals are emitted and
<a href="#currentItem">currentItem</a>() returns -1.
<p> A list box has <a href="tqwidget.html#FocusPolicy-enum">WheelFocus</a> as a default <a href="tqwidget.html#focusPolicy">focusPolicy</a>(), i.e. it
can get keyboard focus by tabbing, clicking and through the use of
the mouse wheel.
<p> New items can be inserted using <a href="#insertItem">insertItem</a>(), <a href="#insertStrList">insertStrList</a>() or
<a href="#insertStringList">insertStringList</a>(). <a href="#inSort">inSort</a>() is obsolete because this method is
quite inefficient. It's preferable to insert the items normally
and call <a href="#sort">sort</a>() afterwards, or to insert a sorted <a href="tqstringlist.html">TQStringList</a>().
<p> By default, vertical and horizontal scroll bars are added and
removed as necessary. <a href="tqscrollview.html#setHScrollBarMode">setHScrollBarMode</a>() and <a href="tqscrollview.html#setVScrollBarMode">setVScrollBarMode</a>()
can be used to change this policy.
<p> If you need to insert types other than strings and pixmaps, you
must define new classes which inherit <a href="tqlistboxitem.html">TQListBoxItem</a>.
<p> <b>Warning:</b> The list box assumes ownership of all list box items and
will delete them when it does not need them any more.

<hr><h2>Member Type Documentation</h2>
<h3 class=fn><a name="LayoutMode-enum"></a>TQListBox::LayoutMode</h3>
<p> This enum type is used to specify how TQListBox lays out its rows
and columns.
<ul>
<li><tt>TQListBox::FixedNumber</tt> - There is a fixed number of rows (or columns).
<li><tt>TQListBox::FitToWidth</tt> - There are as many columns as will fit
on-screen.
<li><tt>TQListBox::FitToHeight</tt> - There are as many rows as will fit on-screen.
<li><tt>TQListBox::Variable</tt> - There are as many rows as are required by the
column mode. (Or as many columns as required by the row mode.)
</ul><p> Example: When you call <a href="#setRowMode">setRowMode</a>( FitToHeight ), <a href="#columnMode">columnMode</a>()
automatically becomes <a href="#LayoutMode-enum">Variable</a> to accommodate the row mode
you've set.
<h3 class=fn><a name="SelectionMode-enum"></a>TQListBox::SelectionMode</h3>
<p> This enumerated type is used by TQListBox to indicate how it reacts
to selection by the user.
<ul>
<li><tt>TQListBox::Single</tt> - When the user selects an item, any already-selected
item becomes unselected and the user cannot unselect the selected
item. This means that the user can never clear the selection, even
though the selection may be cleared by the application programmer
using <a href="#clearSelection">TQListBox::clearSelection</a>().
<li><tt>TQListBox::Multi</tt> - When the user selects an item the selection status
of that item is toggled and the other items are left alone. Also,
multiple items can be selected by dragging the mouse while the
left mouse button is kept pressed.
<li><tt>TQListBox::Extended</tt> - When the user selects an item the selection is
cleared and the new item selected. However, if the user presses
the Ctrl key when clicking on an item, the clicked item gets
toggled and all other items are left untouched. And if the user
presses the Shift key while clicking on an item, all items between
the current item and the clicked item get selected or unselected,
depending on the state of the clicked item. Also, multiple items
can be selected by dragging the mouse while the left mouse button
is kept pressed.
<li><tt>TQListBox::NoSelection</tt> - Items cannot be selected.
</ul><p> In other words, <a href="#SelectionMode-enum">Single</a> is a real single-selection list box, <a href="#SelectionMode-enum">Multi</a> is a real multi-selection list box, <a href="#SelectionMode-enum">Extended</a> is a list
box in which users can select multiple items but usually want to
select either just one or a range of contiguous items, and <a href="#SelectionMode-enum">NoSelection</a> is for a list box where the user can look but not
touch.
