The template classes that create + the real collections cast the \c Item to the required type. +*/ + + +/*! + \enum TQPtrCollection::Item + + This type is the generic "item" in a TQPtrCollection. +*/ + + +/*! + \fn TQPtrCollection::TQPtrCollection() + + Constructs a collection.

The default is FALSE. + + \sa setAutoDelete() +*/ + +/*! + \fn void TQPtrCollection::setAutoDelete( bool enable ) + + Sets the collection to auto-delete its contents if \a enable is + TRUE and to never delete them if \a enable is FALSE. + + If auto-deleting is turned on, all the items in a collection are + deleted when the collection itself is deleted. This is convenient + if the collection has the only pointer to the items. + + The default setting is FALSE, for safety. If you turn it on, be + careful about copying the collection - you might tqfind yourself + with two collections deleting the same items. + + Note that the auto-delete setting may also affect other functions + in subclasses. For example, a subclass that has a remove() + function will remove the item from its data structure, and if + auto-delete is enabled, will also delete the item. + + \sa autoDelete() +*/ + + +/*! + \fn virtual uint TQPtrCollection::count() const + + Returns the number of objects in the collection. +*/ + +/*! + \fn virtual void TQPtrCollection::clear() + + Removes all objects from the collection.
