|
|
|
|
|
|
The TQApplication class manages the GUI application's control
|
|
flow and main settings.
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
<p> It contains the main event loop, where all events from the window
|
|
system and other sources are processed and dispatched. It also
|
|
handles the application's initialization and finalization, and
|
|
provides session management. It also handles most system-wide and
|
|
application-wide settings.
|
|
<p> For any GUI application that uses TQt, there is precisely one
|
|
TQApplication object, no matter whether the application has 0, 1, 2
|
|
or more windows at any time.
|
|
<p> The TQApplication object is accessible through the global pointer <tt>tqApp</tt>. Its main areas of responsibility are:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<p> <li> It initializes the application with the user's desktop settings
|
|
such as <a href="#palette">palette</a>(), <a href="#font">font</a>() and <a href="#doubleClickInterval">doubleClickInterval</a>(). It keeps track
|
|
of these properties in case the user changes the desktop globally, for
|
|
example through some kind of control panel.
|
|
<p> <li> It performs event handling, meaning that it receives events
|
|
from the underlying window system and dispatches them to the relevant
|
|
widgets. By using <a href="#sendEvent">sendEvent</a>() and <a href="#postEvent">postEvent</a>() you can send your own
|
|
events to widgets.
|
|
<p> <li> It parses common command line arguments and sets its internal
|
|
state accordingly. See the <a href="#TQApplication">constructor documentation</a> below for more details about this.
|
|
<p> <li> It defines the application's look and feel, which is
|
|
encapsulated in a <a href="tqstyle.html">TQStyle</a> object. This can be changed at runtime
|
|
with <a href="#setStyle">setStyle</a>().
|
|
<p> <li> It specifies how the application is to allocate colors.
|
|
See <a href="#setColorSpec">setColorSpec</a>() for details.
|
|
<p> <li> It provides <a href="i18n.html#localization">localization</a> of strings that are visible to the user
|
|
via <a href="#translate">translate</a>().
|
|
<p> <li> It provides some magical objects like the <a href="#desktop">desktop</a>() and the
|
|
<a href="#clipboard">clipboard</a>().
|
|
<p> <li> It knows about the application's windows. You can ask which
|
|
widget is at a certain position using <a href="#widgetAt">widgetAt</a>(), get a list of
|
|
<a href="#topLevelWidgets">topLevelWidgets</a>() and <a href="#closeAllWindows">closeAllWindows</a>(), etc.
|
|
<p> <li> It manages the application's mouse cursor handling,
|
|
see <a href="#setOverrideCursor">setOverrideCursor</a>() and <a href="#setGlobalMouseTracking">setGlobalMouseTracking</a>().
|
|
<p> <li> On the X window system, it provides functions to flush and sync
|
|
the communication stream, see <a href="#flushX">flushX</a>() and <a href="#syncX">syncX</a>().
|
|
<p> <li> It provides support for sophisticated <a href="session.html">session management</a>. This makes it possible
|
|
for applications to terminate gracefully when the user logs out, to
|
|
cancel a shutdown process if termination isn't possible and even to
|
|
preserve the entire application's state for a future session. See
|
|
<a href="#isSessionRestored">isSessionRestored</a>(), <a href="#sessionId">sessionId</a>() and <a href="#commitData">commitData</a>() and <a href="#saveState">saveState</a>()
|
|
for details.
|
|
<p> </ul>
|
|
<p> The <a href="simple-application.html">Application walk-through
|
|
example</a> contains a typical complete main() that does the usual
|
|
things with TQApplication.
|
|
<p> Since the TQApplication object does so much initialization, it
|
|
<b>must</b> be created before any other objects related to the user
|
|
interface are created.
|
|
<p> Since it also deals with common command line arguments, it is
|
|
usually a good idea to create it <em>before</em> any interpretation or
|
|
modification of <tt>argv</tt> is done in the application itself. (Note
|
|
also that for X11, <a href="#setMainWidget">setMainWidget</a>() may change the main widget
|
|
according to the <tt>-geometry</tt> option. To preserve this
|
|
functionality, you must set your defaults before setMainWidget() and
|
|
any overrides after.)

designed for writing non-GUI programs, it's possible to use

<h3 class=fn><a name="TQApplication"></a>TQApplication::TQApplication ( int & argc, char ** argv )
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Initializes the window system and constructs an application object
|
|
with <em>argc</em> command line arguments in <em>argv</em>.
|
|
<p> The global <tt>tqApp</tt> pointer refers to this application object. Only
|
|
one application object should be created.
|
|
<p> This application object must be constructed before any <a href="ntqpaintdevice.html">paint devices</a> (including widgets, pixmaps, bitmaps
|
|
etc.).
|
|
<p> Note that <em>argc</em> and <em>argv</em> might be changed. TQt removes command
|
|
line arguments that it recognizes. The modified <em>argc</em> and <em>argv</em>
|
|
can also be accessed later with <tt>tqApp->argc()</tt> and <tt>tqApp->argv()</tt>.
|
|
The documentation for <a href="#argv">argv</a>() contains a detailed description of how
|
|
to process command line arguments.
|
|
<p> TQt debugging options (not available if TQt was compiled with the
|
|
TQT_NO_DEBUG flag defined):
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> -nograb, tells TQt that it must never grab the mouse or the keyboard.
|
|
<li> -dograb (only under X11), running under a debugger can cause
|
|
an implicit -nograb, use -dograb to override.
|
|
<li> -sync (only under X11), switches to synchronous mode for
|
|
debugging.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p> See <a href="debug.html">Debugging Techniques</a> for a more
|
|
detailed explanation.
|
|
<p> All TQt programs automatically support the following command line options:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> -reverse causes text to be formatted for right-to-left languages
|
|
rather than in the usual left-to-right direction.
|
|
<li> -style= <em>style</em>, sets the application GUI style. Possible values
|
|
are <tt>motif</tt>, <tt>windows</tt>, and <tt>platinum</tt>. If you compiled TQt
|
|
with additional styles or have additional styles as plugins these
|
|
will be available to the <tt>-style</tt> command line option.
|
|
<li> -style <em>style</em>, is the same as listed above.
|
|
<li> -session= <em>session</em>, restores the application from an earlier
|
|
<a href="session.html">session</a>.
|
|
<li> -session <em>session</em>, is the same as listed above.
|
|
<li> -widgetcount, prints debug message at the end about number of widgets left
|
|
undestroyed and maximum number of widgets existed at the same time
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p> The X11 version of TQt also supports some traditional X11
|
|
command line options:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> -display <em>display</em>, sets the X display (default is $DISPLAY).
|
|
<li> -geometry <em>geometry</em>, sets the client geometry of the
|
|
<a href="#setMainWidget">main widget</a>.
|
|
<li> -fn or <tt>-font</tt> <em>font</em>, defines the application font. The
|
|
font should be specified using an X logical font description.
|
|
<li> -bg or <tt>-background</tt> <em>color</em>, sets the default background color
|
|
and an application palette (light and dark shades are calculated).
|
|
<li> -fg or <tt>-foreground</tt> <em>color</em>, sets the default foreground color.
|
|
<li> -btn or <tt>-button</tt> <em>color</em>, sets the default button color.
|
|
<li> -name <em>name</em>, sets the application name.
|
|
<li> -title <em>title</em>, sets the application title (caption).
|
|
<li> -visual <tt>TrueColor</tt>, forces the application to use a TrueColor visual
|
|
on an 8-bit display.
|
|
<li> -ncols <em>count</em>, limits the number of colors allocated in the
|
|
color cube on an 8-bit display, if the application is using the
|
|
<a href="#ColorSpec-enum">TQApplication::ManyColor</a> color specification. If <em>count</em> is
|
|
216 then a 6x6x6 color cube is used (i.e. 6 levels of red, 6 of green,
|
|
and 6 of blue); for other values, a cube
|
|
approximately proportional to a 2x3x1 cube is used.
|
|
<li> -cmap, causes the application to install a private color map
|
|
on an 8-bit display.
|
|
</ul>

|
|
|
|
<h3 class=fn><a name="TQApplication-2"></a>TQApplication::TQApplication ( int & argc, char ** argv, bool GUIenabled )
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Constructs an application object with <em>argc</em> command line arguments
|
|
in <em>argv</em>. If <em>GUIenabled</em> is TRUE, a GUI application is
|
|
constructed, otherwise a non-GUI (console) application is created.
|
|
<p> Set <em>GUIenabled</em> to FALSE for programs without a graphical user
|
|
interface that should be able to run without a window system.
|
|
<p> On X11, the window system is initialized if <em>GUIenabled</em> is TRUE.
|
|
If <em>GUIenabled</em> is FALSE, the application does not connect to the
|
|
X-server.
|
|
On Windows and Macintosh, currently the window system is always
|
|
initialized, regardless of the value of GUIenabled. This may change in
|
|
future versions of TQt.
|
|
<p> The following example shows how to create an application that
|
|
uses a graphical interface when available.

</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p> This signal is emitted when the application is about to quit the

main event loop, e.g. when the event loop level drops to zero.
|
|
This may happen either after a call to <a href="#quit">quit</a>() from inside the
|
|
application or when the users shuts down the entire desktop session.
|
|
<p> The signal is particularly useful if your application has to do some

Returns the active modal widget.
|
|
<p> A modal widget is a special top level widget which is a subclass of
|
|
<a href="ntqdialog.html">TQDialog</a> that specifies the modal parameter of the constructor as
|
|
TRUE. A modal widget must be closed before the user can continue

|
|
</h3>
|
|
Returns the active popup widget.
|
|
<p> A popup widget is a special top level widget that sets the <a href="ntqt.html#WidgetFlags-enum">WType_Popup</a> widget flag, e.g. the <a href="ntqpopupmenu.html">TQPopupMenu</a> widget. When the
|
|
application opens a popup widget, all events are sent to the popup.
|
|
Normal widgets and modal widgets cannot be accessed before the popup
|
|
widget is closed.
|
|
<p> Only other popup widgets may be opened when a popup widget is shown.
|
|
The popup widgets are organized in a stack. This function returns
|

</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p> Returns the application top-level window that has the keyboard input
|
|
focus, or 0 if no application window has the focus. Note that
|
|
there might be an <a href="#activeWindow">activeWindow</a>() even if there is no <a href="#focusWidget">focusWidget</a>(),

</h3>
|
|
Append <em>path</em> to the end of the library path list. If <em>path</em> is
|
|
empty or already in the path list, the path list is not changed.
|
|
<p> The default path list consists of a single entry, the installation
|
|
directory for plugins. The default installation directory for plugins
|
|
is <tt>INSTALL/plugins</tt>, where <tt>INSTALL</tt> is the directory where TQt was

<h3 class=fn>TQWidgetList * <a name="allWidgets"></a>TQApplication::allWidgets ()<tt> [static]</tt>
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Returns a list of all the widgets in the application.
|
|
<p> The list is created using <tt>new</tt> and must be deleted by the caller.
|
|
<p> The list is empty (<a href="tqptrlist.html#isEmpty">TQPtrList::isEmpty</a>()) if there are no widgets.
|
|
<p> Note that some of the widgets may be hidden.
|
|
<p> Example that updates all widgets:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
TQWidgetList *list = TQApplication::<a href="#allWidgets">allWidgets</a>();
|
|
TQWidgetListIt it( *list ); // iterate over the widgets
|
|
<a href="tqwidget.html">TQWidget</a> * w;

<h3 class=fn><a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> <a name="applicationDirPath"></a>TQApplication::applicationDirPath ()
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Returns the directory that contains the application executable.
|
|
<p> For example, if you have installed TQt in the <tt>C:\Trolltech\TQt</tt>
|
|
directory, and you run the <tt>demo</tt> example, this function will
|
|
return "C:/Trolltech/TQt/examples/demo".
|
|
<p> On Mac OS X this will point to the directory actually containing the

|
executable, which may be inside of an application bundle (if the
|
|
application is bundled).
|
|
<p> <b>Warning:</b> On Unix, this function assumes that argv[0] contains the file

|
|
|
|
<p> Returns the command line argument vector.
|
|
<p> <tt>argv()[0]</tt> is the program name, <tt>argv()[1]</tt> is the first

|
argument and <tt>argv()[argc()-1]</tt> is the last argument.
|
|
<p> A TQApplication object is constructed by passing <em>argc</em> and <em>argv</em> from the <tt>main()</tt> function. Some of the arguments may be
|
|
recognized as TQt options and removed from the argument vector. For

permission from the user. Furthermore you may want to provide a means
|
|
by which the user can cancel the shutdown.
|
|
<p> Note that you should not exit the application within this function.
|

<h3 class=fn><a href="ntqeventloop.html">TQEventLoop</a> * <a name="eventLoop"></a>TQApplication::eventLoop ()<tt> [static]</tt>
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Returns the application event loop. This function will return
|
|
zero if called during and after destroying TQApplication.
|
|
<p> To create your own instance of <a href="ntqeventloop.html">TQEventLoop</a> or TQEventLoop subclass create

<h3 class=fn>int <a name="exec"></a>TQApplication::exec ()
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Enters the main event loop and waits until <a href="#exit">exit</a>() is called or the
|
|
main widget is destroyed, and returns the value that was set to
|
|
exit() (which is 0 if exit() is called via <a href="#quit">quit</a>()).
|
|
<p> It is necessary to call this function to start event handling. The
|
|
main event loop receives events from the window system and
|
|
dispatches these to the application widgets.
|
|
<p> Generally speaking, no user interaction can take place before
|
|
calling <a href="#exec">exec</a>(). As a special case, modal widgets like <a href="ntqmessagebox.html">TQMessageBox</a>
|
|
can be used before calling exec(), because modal widgets call
|
|
exec() to start a local event loop.
|
|
<p> To make your application perform idle processing, i.e. executing a
|
|
special function whenever there are no pending events, use a
|
|
<a href="tqtimer.html">TQTimer</a> with 0 timeout. More advanced idle processing schemes can
|
|
be achieved using <a href="#processEvents">processEvents</a>().

<h3 class=fn>void <a name="exit"></a>TQApplication::exit ( int retcode = 0 )<tt> [static]</tt>
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Tells the application to exit with a return code.
|
|
<p> After this function has been called, the application leaves the main
|
|
event loop and returns from the call to <a href="#exec">exec</a>(). The exec() function
|
|
returns <em>retcode</em>.
|
|
<p> By convention, a <em>retcode</em> of 0 means success, and any non-zero
|
|
value indicates an error.
|
|
<p> Note that unlike the C library function of the same name, this
|
|
function <em>does</em> return to the caller -- it is event processing that
|
|
stops.

This virtual function is only implemented under Macintosh.

reimplement this function, you get direct access to all Carbon Events

|
|
</h3>
|
|
Sends event <em>e</em> to <em>receiver</em>: <em>receiver</em>->event(<em>e</em>).
|
|
Returns the value that is returned from the receiver's event handler.
|
|
<p> For certain types of events (e.g. mouse and key events),
|
|
the event will be propagated to the receiver's parent and so on up to
|
|
the top-level object if the receiver is not interested in the event
|
|
(i.e., it returns FALSE).
|
|
<p> There are five different ways that events can be processed;
|
|
reimplementing this virtual function is just one of them. All five
|
|
approaches are listed below:
|
|
<ol type=1>
|
|
<li> Reimplementing this function. This is very powerful, providing
|
|
complete control; but only one subclass can be tqApp.
|
|
<p> <li> Installing an event filter on tqApp. Such an event filter is able
|
|
to process all events for all widgets, so it's just as powerful as
|
|
reimplementing <a href="#notify">notify</a>(); furthermore, it's possible to have more
|
|
than one application-global event filter. Global event filters even
|
|
see mouse events for <a href="tqwidget.html#isEnabled">disabled
|
|
widgets,</a> and if <a href="#setGlobalMouseTracking">global mouse
|
|
tracking</a> is enabled, as well as mouse move events for all
|
|
widgets.
|
|
<p> <li> Reimplementing <a href="tqobject.html#event">TQObject::event</a>() (as <a href="tqwidget.html">TQWidget</a> does). If you do
|
|
this you get Tab key presses, and you get to see the events before
|
|
any widget-specific event filters.
|
|
<p> <li> Installing an event filter on the object. Such an event filter
|
|
gets all the events except Tab and Shift-Tab key presses.
|
|
<p> <li> Reimplementing paintEvent(), mousePressEvent() and so
|
|
on. This is the commonest, easiest and least powerful way.

Returns the application palette.
|
|
<p> If a widget is passed in <em>w</em>, the default palette for the

widget's class is returned. This may or may not be the application
|
|
palette. In most cases there isn't a special palette for certain

the cursor and other aspects of the current editing session.
|
|
<p> Note that you should never exit the application within this

function. Instead, the session manager may or may not do this
|
|
afterwards, depending on the context. Futhermore, most session

<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setColorSpec"></a>TQApplication::setColorSpec ( int spec )<tt> [static]</tt>
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Sets the color specification for the application to <em>spec</em>.
|
|
<p> The color specification controls how the application allocates colors
|
|
when run on a display with a limited amount of colors, e.g. 8 bit / 256
|
|
color displays.
|
|
<p> The color specification must be set before you create the TQApplication
|
|
object.
|
|
<p> The options are:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> TQApplication::NormalColor.
|
|
This is the default color allocation strategy. Use this option if
|
|
your application uses buttons, menus, texts and pixmaps with few
|
|
colors. With this option, the application uses system global
|
|
colors. This works fine for most applications under X11, but on
|
|
Windows machines it may cause dithering of non-standard colors.
|
|
<li> TQApplication::CustomColor.
|
|
Use this option if your application needs a small number of custom
|
|
colors. On X11, this option is the same as NormalColor. On Windows, TQt
|
|
creates a Windows palette, and allocates colors to it on demand.
|
|
<li> TQApplication::ManyColor.
|
|
Use this option if your application is very color hungry
|
|
(e.g. it requires thousands of colors).
|
|
Under X11 the effect is:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> For 256-color displays which have at best a 256 color true color
|
|
visual, the default visual is used, and colors are allocated
|
|
from a color cube. The color cube is the 6x6x6 (216 color) "Web
|
|
palette"<sup>*</sup>, but the number of colors can be changed
|
|
by the <em>-ncols</em> option. The user can force the application to
|
|
use the true color visual with the <a href="#TQApplication">-visual</a> option.
|
|
<li> For 256-color displays which have a true color visual with more
|
|
than 256 colors, use that visual. Silicon Graphics X servers
|
|
have this feature, for example. They provide an 8 bit visual
|
|
by default but can deliver true color when asked.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
On Windows, TQt creates a Windows palette, and fills it with a color cube.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p> Be aware that the CustomColor and ManyColor choices may lead to colormap
|
|
flashing: The foreground application gets (most) of the available
|
|
colors, while the background windows will look less attractive.
|
|
<p> Example:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
int main( int argc, char **argv )
|
|
{
|
|
TQApplication::<a href="#setColorSpec">setColorSpec</a>( TQApplication::<a href="#ColorSpec-enum">ManyColor</a> );
|
|
TQApplication a( argc, argv );
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p> <a href="ntqcolor.html">TQColor</a> provides more functionality for controlling color allocation and
|
|
freeing up certain colors. See <a href="ntqcolor.html#enterAllocContext">TQColor::enterAllocContext</a>() for more
|
|
information.
|
|
<p> To check what mode you end up with, call <a href="ntqcolor.html#numBitPlanes">TQColor::numBitPlanes</a>() once
|
|
the TQApplication object exists. A value greater than 8 (typically
|
|
16, 24 or 32) means true color.
|
|
<p> <sup>*</sup> The color cube used by TQt has 216 colors whose red,
|
|
green, and blue components always have one of the following values:
|
|
0x00, 0x33, 0x66, 0x99, 0xCC, or 0xFF.

</h3>
|
|
Enables global mouse tracking if <em>enable</em> is TRUE, or disables it

if <em>enable</em> is FALSE.
|
|
<p> Enabling global mouse tracking makes it possible for widget event
|
|
filters or application event filters to get all mouse move events,

|
even when no button is depressed. This is useful for special GUI
|
|
elements, e.g. tooltips.
|
|
<p> Global mouse tracking does not affect widgets and their
|
|
mouseMoveEvent(). For a widget to get mouse move events when no
|
|
button is depressed, it must do <a href="tqwidget.html#setMouseTracking">TQWidget::setMouseTracking</a>(TRUE).
|
|
<p> This function uses an internal counter. Each

Sets the application's global strut to <em>strut</em>.

GUI element that the user can interact with should have. For example
|
|
no button should be resized to be smaller than the global strut size.
|

</h3>
|
|
Sets the application's main widget to <em>mainWidget</em>.
|
|
<p> In most respects the main widget is like any other widget, except
|
|
that if it is closed, the application exits. Note that
|
|
TQApplication does <em>not</em> take ownership of the <em>mainWidget</em>, so
|
|
if you create your main widget on the heap you must delete it
|
|
yourself.
|
|
<p> You need not have a main widget; connecting <a href="#lastWindowClosed">lastWindowClosed</a>() to
|
|
<a href="#quit">quit</a>() is an alternative.
|
|
<p> For X11, this function also resizes and moves the main widget
|
|
according to the <em>-geometry</em> command-line option, so you should
|
|
set the default geometry (using <a href="tqwidget.html#setGeometry">TQWidget::setGeometry</a>()) before

</h3>
|
|
Sets the application override cursor to <em>cursor</em>.
|
|
<p> Application override cursors are intended for showing the user
|
|
that the application is in a special state, for example during an
|
|
operation that might take some time.
|
|
<p> This cursor will be displayed in all the application's widgets
|
|
until <a href="#restoreOverrideCursor">restoreOverrideCursor</a>() or another <a href="#setOverrideCursor">setOverrideCursor</a>() is
|
|
called.
|
|
<p> Application cursors are stored on an internal stack.
|
|
setOverrideCursor() pushes the cursor onto the stack, and
|
|
restoreOverrideCursor() pops the active cursor off the stack.
|
|
Every setOverrideCursor() must eventually be followed by a
|
|
corresponding restoreOverrideCursor(), otherwise the stack will
|
|
never be emptied.
|
|
<p> If <em>replace</em> is TRUE, the new cursor will replace the last
|
|
override cursor (the stack keeps its depth). If <em>replace</em> is
|
|
FALSE, the new stack is pushed onto the top of the stack.

|
|
Changes the default application palette to <em>palette</em>. If <em>informWidgets</em> is TRUE, then existing widgets are informed about the

Sets the application's GUI style to <em>style</em>. Ownership of the style

</h3>
|
|
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
|
|
<p> Requests a <a href="tqstyle.html">TQStyle</a> object for <em>style</em> from the <a href="tqstylefactory.html">TQStyleFactory</a>.

"compact". Depending on the platform, "windowsxp", "aqua" or
|
|
"macintosh" may be available.
|
|
<p> A later call to the TQApplication constructor will override the

|
requested style when a "-style" option is passed in as a commandline

If you support drag and drop in you application and a drag should

<p> <a href="tqobject.html#tr">TQObject::tr</a>() and <a href="tqobject.html#trUtf8">TQObject::trUtf8</a>() provide this functionality more
|
|
conveniently.
|
|
<p> <em>context</em> is typically a class name (e.g., "MyDialog") and
|
|
<em>sourceText</em> is either English text or a short identifying text, if
|
|
the output text will be very long (as for help texts).
|
|
<p> <em>comment</em> is a disambiguating comment, for when the same <em>sourceText</em> is used in different roles within the same context. By
|
|
default, it is null. <em>encoding</em> indicates the 8-bit encoding of
|
|
character stings
|
|
<p> See the <a href="ntqtranslator.html">TQTranslator</a> documentation for more information about
|
|
contexts and comments.
|
|
<p> If none of the message files contain a translation for <em>sourceText</em> in <em>context</em>, this function returns a <a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a>
|
|
equivalent of <em>sourceText</em>. The encoding of <em>sourceText</em> is
|
|
specified by <em>encoding</em>; it defaults to <a href="#Encoding-enum">DefaultCodec</a>.
|
|
<p> This function is not virtual. You can use alternative translation
|
|
techniques by subclassing <a href="ntqtranslator.html">TQTranslator</a>.
|
|
<p> <b>Warning:</b> This method is reentrant only if all translators are
|
|
installed <em>before</em> calling this method. Installing or removing
|
|
translators while performing translations is not supported. Doing
|
|
so will most likely result in crashes or other undesirable behavior.

</h3>
|

<p>
|

|
|
<p> This is really a macro defined in <a href="qglobal-h.html">ntqglobal.h</a>.
|
|
<p> Q_ASSERT is useful for testing pre- and post-conditions.
|
|
<p> Example:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
//
|
|
// File: div.cpp
|
|
//
|
|
|
|
#include <<a href="qglobal-h.html">ntqglobal.h</a>>

<h3 class=fn>void <a name="qAddPostRoutine"></a>tqAddPostRoutine ( TQtCleanUpFunction p )
|
|
</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p> Adds a global routine that will be called from the TQApplication
|
|
destructor. This function is normally used to add cleanup routines
|
|
for program-wide functionality.
|
|
<p> The function given by <em>p</em> should take no arguments and return
|
|
nothing, like this:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
static int *global_ptr = 0;
|
|
|
|
static void cleanup_ptr()
|
|
{
|
|
delete [] global_ptr;
|
|
global_ptr = 0;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
void init_ptr()
|
|
{
|
|
global_ptr = new int[100]; // allocate data
|
|
<a href="#qAddPostRoutine">tqAddPostRoutine</a>( cleanup_ptr ); // delete later
|
|
}
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p> Note that for an application- or module-wide cleanup,
|
|
<a href="#qAddPostRoutine">tqAddPostRoutine</a>() is often not suitable. People have a tendency to
|
|
make such modules dynamically loaded, and then unload those modules
|
|
long before the TQApplication destructor is called, for example.
|
|
<p> For modules and libraries, using a reference-counted initialization
|
|
manager or TQt' parent-child delete mechanism may be better. Here is
|
|
an example of a private class which uses the parent-child mechanism
|
|
to call a cleanup function at the right time:
|
|
<p> <pre>
|
|
class MyPrivateInitStuff: public <a href="tqobject.html">TQObject</a> {
|
|
private:
|
|
MyPrivateInitStuff( <a href="tqobject.html">TQObject</a> * parent ): <a href="tqobject.html">TQObject</a>( parent) {
|
|
// initialization goes here
|
|
}
|
|
MyPrivateInitStuff * p;
|
|
|
|
public:
|
|
static MyPrivateInitStuff * initStuff( <a href="tqobject.html">TQObject</a> * parent ) {
|
|
if ( !p )
|
|
p = new MyPrivateInitStuff( parent );
|
|
return p;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
~MyPrivateInitStuff() {
|
|
// cleanup (the "post routine") goes here
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p> By selecting the right parent widget/object, this can often be made
|
|
to clean up the module's data at the exact right moment.

<h3 class=fn>TQtMsgHandler <a name="qInstallMsgHandler"></a>qInstallMsgHandler ( TQtMsgHandler h )
|
|
</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p> Installs a TQt message handler <em>h</em>. Returns a pointer to the
|
|
message handler previously defined.
|
|
<p> The message handler is a function that prints out debug messages,
|
|
warnings and fatal error messages. The TQt library (debug version)
|
|
contains hundreds of warning messages that are printed when
|
|
internal errors (usually invalid function arguments) occur. If you
|
|
implement your own message handler, you get total control of these
|
|
messages.
|
|
<p> The default message handler prints the message to the standard
|
|
output under X11 or to the debugger under Windows. If it is a
|
|
fatal message, the application aborts immediately.
|
|
<p> Only one message handler can be defined, since this is usually
|
|
done on an application-wide basis to control debug output.
|
|
<p> To restore the message handler, call <tt>qInstallMsgHandler(0)</tt>.
