provides a main application window, -with a menu bar, dock windows (e.g. for toolbars), and a status -bar. -<p> - -<p> Main windows are most often used to provide menus, toolbars and a -status bar around a large central widget, such as a text edit, -drawing canvas or <a href="qworkspace.html">TQWorkspace</a> (for MDI applications). TQMainWindow -is usually subclassed since this makes it easier to encapsulate -the central widget, menus and toolbars as well as the window's -state. Subclassing makes it possible to create the slots that are -called when the user clicks menu items or toolbar buttons. You can -also create main windows using <a href="designer-manual.html">TQt - Designer</a>. We'll briefly review adding menu items and -toolbar buttons then describe the facilities of TQMainWindow -itself. -<p> <pre> - TQMainWindow *mw = new TQMainWindow; - <a href="qtextedit.html">TQTextEdit</a> *edit = new <a href="qtextedit.html">TQTextEdit</a>( mw, "editor" ); - edit-><a href="qwidget.html#setFocus">setFocus</a>(); - mw-><a href="qwidget.html#setCaption">setCaption</a>( "Main Window" ); - mw-><a href="#setCentralWidget">setCentralWidget</a>( edit ); - mw-><a href="qwidget.html#show">show</a>(); - </pre> - -<p> TQMainWindows may be created in their own right as shown above. -The central widget is set with <a href="#setCentralWidget">setCentralWidget</a>(). Popup menus can -be added to the default menu bar, widgets can be added to the -status bar, toolbars and dock windows can be added to any of the -dock areas. -<p> - -<pre> ApplicationWindow *mw = new ApplicationWindow(); - mw-><a href="qwidget.html#setCaption">setCaption</a>( "TQt Example - Application" ); - <a name="x2115"></a> mw-><a href="qwidget.html#show">show</a>(); -</pre> -<p> In the extract above ApplicationWindow is a subclass of -TQMainWindow that we must write for ourselves; this is the usual -approach to using TQMainWindow. (The source for the extracts in -this description are taken from <a href="simple-application-example.html">application/main.cpp</a>, <a href="simple-application-example.html">application/application.cpp</a>, <a href="qaction-application-example.html">action/main.cpp</a>, and <a href="qaction-application-example.html">action/application.cpp</a> ) -<p> When subclassing we add the menu items and toolbars in the -subclass's constructor. If we've created a TQMainWindow instance -directly we can add menu items and toolbars just as easily by -passing the TQMainWindow instance as the parent instead of the <em>this</em> pointer. -<p> - -<pre> <a href="qpopupmenu.html">TQPopupMenu</a> * help = new <a href="qpopupmenu.html">TQPopupMenu</a>( this ); - <a href="#menuBar">menuBar</a>()->insertItem( "&Help", help ); - - help-><a href="qmenudata.html#insertItem">insertItem</a>( "&About", this, SLOT(about()), Key_F1 ); -</pre> -<p> Here we've added a new menu with one menu item. The menu has been -inserted into the menu bar that TQMainWindow provides by default -and which is accessible through the <a href="#menuBar">menuBar</a>() function. The slot -will be called when the menu item is clicked. -<p> - -<pre> <a href="qtoolbar.html">TQToolBar</a> * fileTools = new <a href="qtoolbar.html">TQToolBar</a>( this, "file operations" ); - fileTools-><a href="qtoolbar.html#setLabel">setLabel</a>( "File Operations" ); -</pre><pre> TQToolButton * fileOpen - = new <a href="qtoolbutton.html">TQToolButton</a>( openIcon, "Open File", <a href="qstring.html#TQString-null">TQString::null</a>, - this, SLOT(choose()), fileTools, "open file" ); -</pre> -<p> This extract shows the creation of a toolbar with one toolbar -button. TQMainWindow supplies four dock areas for toolbars. When a -toolbar is created as a child of a TQMainWindow (or derived class) -instance it will be placed in a dock area (the <a href="qt.html#Dock-enum">Top</a> dock area by -default). The slot will be called when the toolbar button is -clicked. Any dock window can be added to a dock area either using -<a href="#addDockWindow">addDockWindow</a>(), or by creating a dock window with the TQMainWindow -as the parent. -<p> - -<pre> e = new <a href="qtextedit.html">TQTextEdit</a>( this, "editor" ); - e-><a href="qwidget.html#setFocus">setFocus</a>(); - <a href="#setCentralWidget">setCentralWidget</a>( e ); - <a href="#statusBar">statusBar</a>()->message( "Ready", 2000 ); -</pre> -<p> Having created the menus and toolbar we create an instance of the -large central widget, give it the focus and set it as the main -window's central widget. In the example we've also set the status -bar, accessed via the <a href="#statusBar">statusBar</a>() function, to an initial message -which will be displayed for two seconds. Note that you can add -additional widgets to the status bar, for example labels, to show -further status information. See the <a href="qstatusbar.html">TQStatusBar</a> documentation for -details, particularly the addWidget() function. -<p> Often we want to synchronize a toolbar button with a menu item. -For example, if the user clicks a 'bold' toolbar button we want -the 'bold' menu item to be checked. This synchronization can be -achieved automatically by creating actions and adding the actions -to the toolbar and menu. -<p> - -<pre> <a href="qaction.html">TQAction</a> * fileOpenAction; -</pre><pre> fileOpenAction = new <a href="qaction.html">TQAction</a>( TQPixmap( fileopen ), "&Open...", - CTRL+Key_O, this, "open" ); - <a href="qobject.html#connect">connect</a>( fileOpenAction, SIGNAL( <a href="qaction.html#activated">activated</a>() ) , this, SLOT( choose() ) ); -</pre> -<p> Here we create an action with an icon which will be used in any -menu and toolbar that the action is added to. We've also given the -action a menu name, '&Open', and a keyboard shortcut. The -connection that we have made will be used when the user clicks -either the menu item <em>or</em> the toolbar button. -<p> - -<pre> <a href="qpopupmenu.html">TQPopupMenu</a> * file = new <a href="qpopupmenu.html">TQPopupMenu</a>( this ); - <a href="#menuBar">menuBar</a>()->insertItem( "&File", file ); -</pre><pre> fileOpenAction-><a href="qaction.html#addTo">addTo</a>( file ); -</pre> -<p> The extract above shows the creation of a popup menu. We add the -menu to the TQMainWindow's menu bar and add our action. -<p> - -<pre> <a href="qtoolbar.html">TQToolBar</a> * fileTools = new <a href="qtoolbar.html">TQToolBar</a>( this, "file operations" ); - fileTools-><a href="qtoolbar.html#setLabel">setLabel</a>( "File Operations" ); - fileOpenAction-><a href="qaction.html#addTo">addTo</a>( fileTools ); -</pre> -<p> Here we create a new toolbar as a child of the TQMainWindow and add -our action to the toolbar. -<p> We'll now explore the functionality offered by TQMainWindow. -<p> The main window will take care of the dock areas, and the geometry -of the central widget, but all other aspects of the central widget -are left to you. TQMainWindow automatically detects the creation of -a menu bar or status bar if you specify the TQMainWindow as parent, -or you can use the provided <a href="#menuBar">menuBar</a>() and <a href="#statusBar">statusBar</a>() functions. -The functions menuBar() and statusBar() create a suitable widget -if one doesn't exist, and update the window's layout to make -space. -<p> TQMainWindow provides a <a href="qtooltipgroup.html">TQToolTipGroup</a> connected to the status bar. -The function <a href="#toolTipGroup">toolTipGroup</a>() provides access to the default -TQToolTipGroup. It isn't possible to set a different tool tip -group. -<p> New dock windows and toolbars can be added to a TQMainWindow using -<a href="#addDockWindow">addDockWindow</a>(). Dock windows can be moved using <a href="#moveDockWindow">moveDockWindow</a>() -and removed with <a href="#removeDockWindow">removeDockWindow</a>(). TQMainWindow allows default -dock window (toolbar) docking in all its dock areas (<a href="qt.html#Dock-enum">Top</a>, <a href="qt.html#Dock-enum">Left</a>, <a href="qt.html#Dock-enum">Right</a>, <a href="qt.html#Dock-enum">Bottom</a>). You can use <a href="#setDockEnabled">setDockEnabled</a>() to -enable and disable docking areas for dock windows. When adding or -moving dock windows you can specify their 'edge' (dock area). The -currently available edges are: <a href="qt.html#Dock-enum">Top</a>, <a href="qt.html#Dock-enum">Left</a>, <a href="qt.html#Dock-enum">Right</a>, <a href="qt.html#Dock-enum">Bottom</a>, <a href="qt.html#Dock-enum">Minimized</a> (effectively a 'hidden' dock area) and <a href="qt.html#Dock-enum">TornOff</a> (floating). See <a href="qt.html#Dock-enum">TQt::Dock</a> for an explanation of these -areas. Note that the *ToolBar functions are included for backward -compatibility; all new code should use the *DockWindow functions. -TQToolbar is a subclass of <a href="qdockwindow.html">TQDockWindow</a> so all functions that work -with dock windows work on toolbars in the same way. -<p> <a name="dwm"></a> -If the user clicks the close button, then the dock window is -hidden. A dock window can be hidden or unhidden by the user by -right clicking a dock area and clicking the name of the relevant -dock window on the pop up dock window menu. This menu lists the -names of every dock window; visible dock windows have a tick -beside their names. The dock window menu is created automatically -as required by <a href="#createDockWindowMenu">createDockWindowMenu</a>(). Since it may not always be -appropriate for a dock window to appear on this menu the -<a href="#setAppropriate">setAppropriate</a>() function is used to inform the main window -whether or not the dock window menu should include a particular -dock window. Double clicking a dock window handle (usually on the -left-hand side of the dock window) undocks (floats) the dock -window. Double clicking a floating dock window's titlebar will -dock the floating dock window. (See also -<a href="#DockWindows-enum">TQMainWindow::DockWindows</a>.) -<p> Some functions change the appearance of a TQMainWindow globally: -<ul> -<li> <a href="qdockwindow.html#setHorizontalStretchable">TQDockWindow::setHorizontalStretchable</a>() and -<a href="qdockwindow.html#setVerticalStretchable">TQDockWindow::setVerticalStretchable</a>() are used to make specific dock -windows or toolbars stretchable. -<li> <a href="#setUsesBigPixmaps">setUsesBigPixmaps</a>() is used to set whether tool buttons should -draw small or large pixmaps (see <a href="qiconset.html">TQIconSet</a> for more information). -<li> <a href="#setUsesTextLabel">setUsesTextLabel</a>() is used to set whether tool buttons -should display a textual label in addition to pixmaps -(see <a href="qtoolbutton.html">TQToolButton</a> for more information). -</ul> -<p> The user can drag dock windows into any enabled docking area. Dock -windows can also be dragged <em>within</em> a docking area, for example -to rearrange the order of some toolbars. Dock windows can also be -dragged outside any docking area (undocked or 'floated'). Being -able to drag dock windows can be enabled (the default) and -disabled using <a href="#setDockWindowsMovable">setDockWindowsMovable</a>(). -<p> The <a href="qt.html#Dock-enum">Minimized</a> edge is a hidden dock area. If this dock area is -enabled the user can hide (minimize) a dock window or show (restore) -a minimized dock window by clicking the dock window handle. If the -user hovers the mouse cursor over one of the handles, the caption of -the dock window is displayed in a tool tip (see -<a href="qwidget.html#caption">TQDockWindow::caption</a>() or <a href="qtoolbar.html#label">TQToolBar::label</a>()), so if you enable the -<a href="qt.html#Dock-enum">Minimized</a> dock area, it is best to specify a meaningful caption -or label for each dock window. To minimize a dock window -programmatically use <a href="#moveDockWindow">moveDockWindow</a>() with an edge of <a href="qt.html#Dock-enum">Minimized</a>. -<p> Dock windows are moved transparently by default, i.e. during the -drag an outline rectangle is drawn on the screen representing the -position of the dock window as it moves. If you want the dock -window to be shown normally whilst it is moved use -<a href="#setOpaqueMoving">setOpaqueMoving</a>(). -<p> The location of a dock window, i.e. its dock area and position -within the dock area, can be determined by calling <a href="#getLocation">getLocation</a>(). -Movable dock windows can be lined up to minimize wasted space with -<a href="#lineUpDockWindows">lineUpDockWindows</a>(). Pointers to the dock areas are available from -<a href="#topDock">topDock</a>(), <a href="#leftDock">leftDock</a>(), <a href="#rightDock">rightDock</a>() and <a href="#bottomDock">bottomDock</a>(). A customize -menu item is added to the pop up dock window menu if -<a href="#isCustomizable">isCustomizable</a>() returns TRUE; it returns FALSE by default. -Reimplement isCustomizable() and <a href="#customize">customize</a>() if you want to offer -this extra menu item, for example, to allow the user to change -settings relating to the main window and its toolbars and dock -windows. -<p> The main window's menu bar is fixed (at the top) by default.
