\title Examples
|
|
|
|
Qt ships with lots of small and some medium-sized example programs
|
|
that teach you how to implement various tasks with Qt. Most of them will show how to
|
|
use a certain class or module, others aim at programming techniques
|
|
and TQt basics, and some of them simply want to show you what's possible.
|
|
|
|
Note that most of the examples assume that you have some experience with C++
|
|
and TQt and therefore are not commented extensively. If you are interested
|
|
in a line-by-line coverage please refer to the tutorials
|
|
\link tutorial.html Tutorial #1\endlink, and
|
|
\link tutorial2.html Tutorial #2\endlink, and also the
|
|

In particular, these classes do not depend on QApplication at all,
|
|
and so can be used in non-GUI programs.

\title Implicitly and Explicitly Shared Classes
|
|
|
|
These classes are normally-heavy classes which in TQt have been
|
|
optimized by the use of reference counter and common data so they can
|
|
be passed around.
|
|
|
|
The only important effect is that the classes listed here \e can
|
|
be passed around as arguments efficiently, even though they may
|
|
seem heavyweight.

\list 1

|
\i Tool Tips and Status Bar message - flyweight help, extremely brief,
|
|
entirely integrated in the user interface, requiring little
|
|
or no user interaction to invoke.
|
|
\i What's This? - lightweight, but can be
|
|
a three-paragraph explanation.
|
|
\i Online Help - can encompass any amount of information,
|
|
but is typically slower to call up, somewhat separated
|
|
from the user's work, and often users feel that using online
|
|
help is a digression from their real task.
