.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The TQLabel widget provides a text or image display.
|
|
.PP
|
|
TQLabel is used for displaying text or an image. No user interaction functionality is provided. The visual appearance of the label can be configured in various ways, and it can be used for specifying a focus accelerator key for another widget.
|
|
.PP
|
|
A TQLabel can contain any of the following content types: <center>.nf
|
|
.TS
|
|
l - l. Content Setting Plain text Pass a TQString to setText(). Rich text Pass a TQString that contains rich text to setText(). A pixmap Pass a TQPixmap to setPixmap(). A movie Pass a TQMovie to setMovie(). A number Pass an \fIint\fR or a \fIdouble\fR to setNum(), which converts the number to plain text. Nothing
|
|
.TE
|
|
.fi
|
|
</center>
|
|
.PP
|
|
When the content is changed using any of these functions, any previous content is cleared.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The look of a TQLabel can be tuned in several ways. All the settings of TQFrame are available for specifying a widget frame. The positioning of the content within the TQLabel widget area can be tuned with setAlignment() and setIndent(). For example, this code sets up a sunken panel with a two-line text in the bottom right corner (both lines being flush with the right side of the label):
|
|
.PP
|
|
.nf
|
|
.br
|
|
TQLabel *label = new TQLabel( this );
|
|
.br
|
|
label->setFrameStyle( TQFrame::Panel | TQFrame::Sunken );
|
|
.br
|
|
label->setText( "first line\\nsecond line" );
|
|
.br
|
|
label->setAlignment( AlignBottom | AlignRight );
|
|
.br
|
|
.fi
|
|
.PP
|
|
A TQLabel is often used as a label for an interactive widget. For this use TQLabel provides a useful mechanism for adding an accelerator key (see QAccel) that will set the keyboard focus to the other widget (called the TQLabel's "buddy"). For example:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.nf
|
|
.br
|
|
TQLineEdit* phoneEdit = new TQLineEdit( this, "phoneEdit" );
|
|
.br
|
|
TQLabel* phoneLabel = new TQLabel( phoneEdit, "&Phone:", this, "phoneLabel" );
|
|
.br
|
|
.fi
|
|
.PP
|
|
In this example, keyboard focus is transferred to the label's buddy (the TQLineEdit) when the user presses Alt+P. You can also use the setBuddy() function to accomplish the same thing.

|
|
.PP
|
|
If the \fItext\fR contains an underlined letter (a letter preceded by an ampersand, &), and the text is in plain text format, when the user presses Alt+ the underlined letter, focus is passed to the buddy widget.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The \fIparent\fR, \fIname\fR and widget flag, \fIf\fR, arguments are passed to the TQFrame constructor.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also text, setBuddy(), alignment, setFrameStyle(), and indent.
|
|
.SH "TQLabel::~TQLabel ()"
|
|
Destroys the label.
|
|
.SH "int TQLabel::alignment () const"
|
|
Returns the alignment of the label's contents. See the "alignment" property for details.
|
|
.SH "bool TQLabel::autoResize () const"
|
|
\fBThis function is obsolete.\fR It is provided to keep old source working. We strongly advise against using it in new code.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Returns TRUE if auto-resizing is enabled, or FALSE if auto-resizing is disabled.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Auto-resizing is disabled by default.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also setAutoResize().
|
|
.SH "TQWidget * TQLabel::buddy () const"
|
|
Returns this label's buddy, or 0 if no buddy is currently set.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also setBuddy().
|
|
.SH "void TQLabel::clear ()\fC [slot]\fR"
|
|
Clears any label contents. Equivalent to setText( "" ).
|
|
.SH "void TQLabel::drawContents ( TQPainter * p )\fC [virtual protected]\fR"
|
|
Draws the label contents using the painter \fIp\fR.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Reimplemented from TQFrame.
|
|
.SH "bool TQLabel::hasScaledContents () const"
|
|
Returns TRUE if the label will scale its contents to fill all available space; otherwise returns FALSE. See the "scaledContents" property for details.
|
|
.SH "int TQLabel::indent () const"
|
|
Returns the label's text indent in pixels. See the "indent" property for details.
|
|
.SH "TQMovie * TQLabel::movie () const"
|
|
Returns a pointer to the label's movie, or 0 if no movie has been set.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also setMovie().
|
|
.SH "TQPicture * TQLabel::picture () const"
|
|
Returns the label's picture or 0 if the label doesn't have a picture.
|
|
.SH "TQPixmap * TQLabel::pixmap () const"
|
|
Returns the label's pixmap. See the "pixmap" property for details.
|
|
.SH "void TQLabel::setAlignment ( int )\fC [virtual]\fR"
|
|
Sets the alignment of the label's contents. See the "alignment" property for details.
|
|
.SH "void TQLabel::setAutoResize ( bool enable )\fC [virtual]\fR"
|
|
\fBThis function is obsolete.\fR It is provided to keep old source working. We strongly advise against using it in new code.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Enables auto-resizing if \fIenable\fR is TRUE, or disables it if \fIenable\fR is FALSE.
|
|
.PP
|
|
When auto-resizing is enabled the label will resize itself to fit the contents whenever the contents change. The top-left corner is not moved. This is useful for TQLabel widgets that are not managed by a TQLayout (e.g., top-level widgets).
|
|
.PP
|
|
Auto-resizing is disabled by default.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also autoResize(), adjustSize(), and sizeHint.
|
|
.SH "void TQLabel::setBuddy ( TQWidget * buddy )\fC [virtual]\fR"
|
|
Sets this label's buddy to \fIbuddy\fR.
|
|
.PP
|
|
When the user presses the accelerator key indicated by this label, the keyboard focus is transferred to the label's buddy widget.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The buddy mechanism is only available for TQLabels that contain plain text in which one letter is prefixed with an ampersand, &. This letter is set as the accelerator key. The letter is displayed underlined, and the '&' is not displayed (i.e. the ShowPrefix alignment flag is turned on; see setAlignment()).
|
|
.PP
|
|
In a dialog, you might create two data entry widgets and a label for each, and set up the geometry layout so each label is just to the left of its data entry widget (its "buddy"), for example:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.nf
|
|
.br
|
|
TQLineEdit *nameEd = new TQLineEdit( this );
|
|
.br
|
|
TQLabel *nameLb = new TQLabel( "&Name:", this );
|
|
.br
|
|
nameLb->setBuddy( nameEd );
|
|
.br
|
|
TQLineEdit *phoneEd = new TQLineEdit( this );
|
|
.br
|
|
TQLabel *phoneLb = new TQLabel( "&Phone:", this );
|
|
.br
|
|
phoneLb->setBuddy( phoneEd );
|
|
.br
|
|
// ( layout setup not shown )
|
|
.br
|
|
.fi
|
|
.PP
|
|
With the code above, the focus jumps to the Name field when the user presses Alt+N, and to the Phone field when the user presses Alt+P.
|
|
.PP
|
|
To unset a previously set buddy, call this function with \fIbuddy\fR set to 0.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also buddy(), text, QAccel, and alignment.
|
|
.PP
|
|

|
|
.SH "void TQLabel::setFont ( const TQFont & f )\fC [virtual]\fR"
|
|

|
Example: menu/menu.cpp.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Reimplemented from TQWidget.
|
|
.SH "void TQLabel::setIndent ( int )"
|
|
Sets the label's text indent in pixels. See the "indent" property for details.
|
|
.SH "void TQLabel::setMovie ( const TQMovie & movie )\fC [virtual slot]\fR"
|
|

|
|
.PP
|
|
The buddy accelerator, if any, is disabled.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The label resizes itself if auto-resizing is enabled.
|
|

|
|
.PP
|
|
The buddy accelerator, if any, is disabled.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The label resizes itself if auto-resizing is enabled.

|
|
The buddy accelerator, if any, is disabled.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also picture() and setBuddy().
|
|
.SH "void TQLabel::setPixmap ( const TQPixmap & )\fC [virtual slot]\fR"
|
|
Sets the label's pixmap. See the "pixmap" property for details.
|
|
.SH "void TQLabel::setScaledContents ( bool )"

|
|
.SS "Property Documentation"
|
|
.SH "Alignment alignment"
|
|
This property holds the alignment of the label's contents.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The alignment is a bitwise OR of TQt::AlignmentFlags and TQt::TextFlags values. The ExpandTabs, SingleLine and ShowPrefix flags apply only if the label contains plain text; otherwise they are ignored. The DontClip flag is always ignored. WordBreak applies to both rich text and plain text labels. The BreakAnywhere flag is not supported in TQLabel.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If the label has a buddy, the ShowPrefix flag is forced to TRUE.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The default alignment is \fCAlignAuto | AlignVCenter | ExpandTabs\fR if the label doesn't have a buddy and \fCAlignAuto | AlignVCenter | ExpandTabs | ShowPrefix\fR if the label has a buddy. If the label contains rich text, additionally WordBreak is turned on.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also TQt::AlignmentFlags, setBuddy(), and text.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Set this property's value with setAlignment() and get this property's value with alignment().
|
|
.SH "BackgroundMode backgroundMode"
|
|
This property holds the label's background mode.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Get this property with backgroundMode().
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also TQWidget::backgroundMode.
|
|
.SH "int indent"
|
|
This property holds the label's text indent in pixels.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If a label displays text, the indent applies to the left edge if alignment() is AlignLeft, to the right edge if alignment() is AlignRight, to the top edge if alignment() is AlignTop, and to to the bottom edge if alignment() is AlignBottom.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If indent is negative, or if no indent has been set, the label computes the effective indent as follows: If frameWidth() is 0, the effective indent becomes 0. If frameWidth() is greater than 0, the effective indent becomes half the width of the "x" character of the widget's current font().
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also alignment, frameWidth, and font.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Set this property's value with setIndent() and get this property's value with indent().
|
|
.SH "TQPixmap pixmap"
|
|
This property holds the label's pixmap.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If no pixmap has been set this will return an invalid pixmap.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Setting the pixmap clears any previous content, and resizes the label if TQLabel::autoResize() is TRUE. The buddy accelerator, if any, is disabled.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Set this property's value with setPixmap() and get this property's value with pixmap().
|
|
.SH "bool scaledContents"
|
|
This property holds whether the label will scale its contents to fill all available space.
|
|
.PP
|
|
When enabled and the label shows a pixmap, it will scale the pixmap to fill the available space.
|
|
.PP
|
|
This property's default is FALSE.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also scaledContents.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Set this property's value with setScaledContents() and get this property's value with hasScaledContents().
|
|
.SH "TQString text"
|
|
This property holds the label's text.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If no text has been set this will return an empty string. Setting the text clears any previous content, unless they are the same.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The text will be interpreted either as a plain text or as a rich text, depending on the text format setting; see setTextFormat(). The default setting is AutoText, i.e. TQLabel will try to auto-detect the format of the text set.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If the text is interpreted as a plain text and a buddy has been set, the buddy accelerator key is updated from the new text.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The label resizes itself if auto-resizing is enabled.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Note that TQLabel is well-suited to display small rich text documents, i.e. those small documents that get their document specific settings (font, text color, link color) from the label's palette and font properties. For large documents, use TQTextEdit in read-only mode instead. TQTextEdit will flicker less on resize and can also provide a scrollbar when necessary.
|
|
.PP
|
|

|
|
.PP
|
|
Set this property's value with setText() and get this property's value with text().
|
|
.SH "TextFormat textFormat"
|
|
This property holds the label's text format.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See the TQt::TextFormat enum for an explanation of the possible options.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The default format is AutoText.
