.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The TQComboBox widget is a combined button and popup list.
|
|
.PP
|
|
A combobox is a selection widget which displays the current item and can pop up a list of items. A combobox may be editable in which case the user can enter arbitrary strings.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Comboboxes provide a means of showing the user's current choice out of a list of options in a way that takes up the minimum amount of screen space.
|
|
.PP
|
|
TQComboBox supports three different display styles: Aqua/Motif 1.x, Motif 2.0 and Windows. In Motif 1.x, a combobox was called XmOptionMenu. In Motif 2.0, OSF introduced an improved combobox and named that XmComboBox. TQComboBox provides both.
|
|
.PP
|
|
TQComboBox provides two different constructors. The simplest constructor creates an "old-style" combobox in Motif (or Aqua) style:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.nf
|
|
.br
|
|
TQComboBox *c = new TQComboBox( this, "read-only combobox" );
|
|
.br
|
|
.fi
|
|
.PP
|
|
The other constructor creates a new-style combobox in Motif style, and can create both read-only and editable comboboxes:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.nf
|
|
.br
|
|
TQComboBox *c1 = new TQComboBox( FALSE, this, "read-only combobox" );
|
|
.br
|
|
TQComboBox *c2 = new TQComboBox( TRUE, this, "editable combobox" );
|
|
.br
|
|
.fi
|
|
.PP
|
|
New-style comboboxes use a list box in both Motif and Windows styles, and both the content size and the on-screen size of the list box can be limited with sizeLimit() and setMaxCount() respectively. Old-style comboboxes use a popup in Aqua and Motif style, and that popup will happily grow larger than the desktop if you put enough data into it.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The two constructors create identical-looking comboboxes in Windows style.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Comboboxes can contain pixmaps as well as strings; the insertItem() and changeItem() functions are suitably overloaded. For editable comboboxes, the function clearEdit() is provided, to clear the displayed string without changing the combobox's contents.
|
|
.PP
|
|
A combobox emits two signals, activated() and highlighted(), when a new item has been activated (selected) or highlighted (made current). Both signals exist in two versions, one with a TQString argument and one with an \fCint\fR argument. If the user highlights or activates a pixmap, only the \fCint\fR signals are emitted. Whenever the text of an editable combobox is changed the textChanged() signal is emitted.
|
|
.PP
|
|
When the user enters a new string in an editable combobox, the widget may or may not insert it, and it can insert it in several locations. The default policy is is AtBottom but you can change this using setInsertionPolicy().
|
|
.PP
|
|
It is possible to constrain the input to an editable combobox using TQValidator; see setValidator(). By default, any input is accepted.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If the combobox is not editable then it has a default focusPolicy() of TabFocus, i.e. it will not grab focus if clicked. This differs from both Windows and Motif. If the combobox is editable then it has a default focusPolicy() of StrongFocus, i.e. it will grab focus if clicked.
|
|
.PP
|
|
A combobox can be populated using the insert functions, insertStringList() and insertItem() for example. Items can be changed with changeItem(). An item can be removed with removeItem() and all items can be removed with clear(). The text of the current item is returned by currentText(), and the text of a numbered item is returned with text(). The current item can be set with setCurrentItem() or setCurrentText(). The number of items in the combobox is returned by count(); the maximum number of items can be set with setMaxCount(). You can allow editing using setEditable(). For editable comboboxes you can set auto-completion using setAutoCompletion() and whether or not the user can add duplicates is set with setDuplicatesEnabled().

.SS "Member Type Documentation"
|
|
.SH "TQComboBox::Policy"
|
|
This enum specifies what the TQComboBox should do when a new string is entered by the user.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fCTQComboBox::NoInsertion\fR - the string will not be inserted into the combobox.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fCTQComboBox::AtTop\fR - insert the string as the first item in the combobox.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fCTQComboBox::AtCurrent\fR - replace the previously selected item with the string the user has entered.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fCTQComboBox::AtBottom\fR - insert the string as the last item in the combobox.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fCTQComboBox::AfterCurrent\fR - insert the string after the previously selected item.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fCTQComboBox::BeforeCurrent\fR - insert the string before the previously selected item.
|
|
.PP
|
|
activated() is always emitted when the string is entered.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If inserting the new string would cause the combobox to breach its content size limit, the item at the other end of the list is deleted. The definition of "other end" is implementation-dependent.
|
|
.SH MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION
|
|
.SH "TQComboBox::TQComboBox ( TQWidget * parent = 0, const char * name = 0 )"
|
|
Constructs a combobox widget with parent \fIparent\fR called \fIname\fR.
|
|
.PP
|
|
This constructor creates a popup list if the program uses Motif (or Aqua) look and feel; this is compatible with Motif 1.x and Aqua.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Note: If you use this constructor to create your TQComboBox, then the pixmap() function will always return 0. To workaround this, use the other constructor.
|
|
.SH "TQComboBox::TQComboBox ( bool rw, TQWidget * parent = 0, const char * name = 0 )"
|
|
Constructs a combobox with a maximum size and either Motif 2.0 or Windows look and feel.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The input field can be edited if \fIrw\fR is TRUE, otherwise the user may only choose one of the items in the combobox.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The \fIparent\fR and \fIname\fR arguments are passed on to the TQWidget constructor.
|
|
.SH "TQComboBox::~TQComboBox ()"
|
|
Destroys the combobox.
|
|
.SH "void TQComboBox::activated ( int index )\fC [signal]\fR"
|
|
This signal is emitted when a new item has been activated (selected). The \fIindex\fR is the position of the item in the combobox.
|
|
.PP
|
|
This signal is not emitted if the item is changed programmatically, e.g. using setCurrentItem().
|
|
.PP
|
|
Examples:
|
|
.)l fileiconview/mainwindow.cpp, helpviewer/helpwindow.cpp, lineedits/lineedits.cpp, listboxcombo/listboxcombo.cpp, and qmag/qmag.cpp.
|
|
.SH "void TQComboBox::activated ( const TQString & string )\fC [signal]\fR"
|
|
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
|
|
.PP
|
|
This signal is emitted when a new item has been activated (selected). \fIstring\fR is the selected string.
|
|
.PP
|
|
You can also use the activated(int) signal, but be aware that its argument is meaningful only for selected strings, not for user entered strings.
|
|
.SH "bool TQComboBox::autoCompletion () const"
|
|
Returns TRUE if auto-completion is enabled; otherwise returns FALSE. See the "autoCompletion" property for details.
|
|
.SH "bool TQComboBox::autoResize () const"
|
|
Returns TRUE if auto resize is enabled; otherwise returns FALSE. See the "autoResize" property for details.
|
|
.SH "void TQComboBox::changeItem ( const TQString & t, int index )"
|
|
Replaces the item at position \fIindex\fR with the text \fIt\fR.
|
|
.SH "void TQComboBox::changeItem ( const TQPixmap & im, int index )"
|
|
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Replaces the item at position \fIindex\fR with the pixmap \fIim\fR, unless the combobox is editable.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also insertItem().
|
|
.SH "void TQComboBox::changeItem ( const TQPixmap & im, const TQString & t, int index )"
|
|
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Replaces the item at position \fIindex\fR with the pixmap \fIim\fR and the text \fIt\fR.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also insertItem().
|
|
.SH "void TQComboBox::clear ()\fC [slot]\fR"
|
|
Removes all combobox items.
|
|
.SH "void TQComboBox::clearEdit ()\fC [slot]\fR"
|
|
Clears the line edit without changing the combobox's contents. Does nothing if the combobox isn't editable.
|
|
.PP
|
|
This is particularly useful when using a combobox as a line edit with history. For example you can connect the combobox's activated() signal to clearEdit() in order to present the user with a new, empty line as soon as Enter is pressed.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also setEditText().
|
|
.SH "void TQComboBox::clearValidator ()\fC [slot]\fR"
|
|
This slot is equivalent to setValidator( 0 ).
|
|
.SH "int TQComboBox::count () const"
|
|
Returns the number of items in the combobox. See the "count" property for details.
|
|
.SH "int TQComboBox::currentItem () const"
|
|
Returns the index of the current item in the combobox. See the "currentItem" property for details.
|
|
.SH "TQString TQComboBox::currentText () const"
|
|
Returns the text of the combobox's current item. See the "currentText" property for details.
|
|
.SH "bool TQComboBox::duplicatesEnabled () const"
|
|
Returns TRUE if duplicates are allowed; otherwise returns FALSE. See the "duplicatesEnabled" property for details.
|
|
.SH "bool TQComboBox::editable () const"
|
|
Returns TRUE if the combobox is editable; otherwise returns FALSE. See the "editable" property for details.
|
|
.SH "void TQComboBox::highlighted ( int index )\fC [signal]\fR"
|
|
This signal is emitted when a new item has been set to be the current item. The \fIindex\fR is the position of the item in the combobox.
|
|
.PP
|
|
This signal is not emitted if the item is changed programmatically, e.g. using setCurrentItem().
|
|
.SH "void TQComboBox::highlighted ( const TQString & string )\fC [signal]\fR"
|
|
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
|
|
.PP
|
|
This signal is emitted when a new item has been set to be the current item. \fIstring\fR is the item's text.

.PP
|
|
You can also use the highlighted(int) signal.
|
|
.SH "void TQComboBox::insertItem ( const TQString & t, int index = -1 )"
|
|
Inserts a text item with text \fIt\fR, at position \fIindex\fR. The item will be appended if \fIindex\fR is negative.

|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBThis property is obsolete.\fR It is provided to keep old source working. We strongly advise against using it in new code.
|
|
.PP
|

|
|
.SH "int currentItem"
|
|
This property holds the index of the current item in the combobox.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Note that the activated() and highlighted() signals are only emitted when the user changes the current item, not when it is changed programmatically.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Set this property's value with setCurrentItem() and get this property's value with currentItem().
|
|
.SH "TQString currentText"
|
|
This property holds the text of the combobox's current item.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Set this property's value with setCurrentText() and get this property's value with currentText().
|
|
.SH "bool duplicatesEnabled"
|
|
This property holds whether duplicates are allowed.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If the combobox is editable and the user enters some text in the combobox's lineedit and presses Enter (and the insertionPolicy() is not NoInsertion), then what happens is this:
|
|
.TP
|
|
If the text is not already in the list, the text is inserted.
|
|
.TP
|
|
If the text is in the list and this property is TRUE (the default), the text is inserted.
|
|
.TP
|
|
If the text is in the list and this property is FALSE, the text is \fInot\fR inserted; instead the item which has matching text becomes the current item.
|
|
.PP
|
|
This property only affects user-interaction. You can use insertItem() to insert duplicates if you wish regardless of this setting.

|
|
.SH "bool editable"
|
|
This property holds whether the combobox is editable.
|
|
.PP
|
|
This property's default is FALSE. Note that the combobox will be cleared if this property is set to TRUE for a 1.x Motif style combobox. To avoid this, use setEditable() before inserting any items. Also note that the 1.x version of Motif didn't have any editable comboboxes, so the combobox will change it's appearance to a 2.0 style Motif combobox is it is set to be editable.
