+
+
+The TQPtrList class is a template class that provides a list.
+<p>
+
+<p>
+<p> <a href="tqvaluelist.html">TQValueList</a> is an STL-compatible alternative to this class.
+<p> Define a template instance TQPtrList&lt;X&gt; to create a list that
+operates on pointers to X (X*).
+<p> The list class is indexable and has a <a href="#at">current
+ index</a> and a <a href="#current">current item</a>. The
+first item corresponds to index position 0. The current index is
+-1 if the current item is 0.
+<p> Items are inserted with <a href="#prepend">prepend</a>(), <a href="#insert">insert</a>() or <a href="#append">append</a>(). Items are
+removed with <a href="#remove">remove</a>(), <a href="#removeRef">removeRef</a>(), <a href="#removeFirst">removeFirst</a>() and
+<a href="#removeLast">removeLast</a>(). You can search for an item using <a href="#find">find</a>(), <a href="#findNext">findNext</a>(),
+<a href="#findRef">findRef</a>() or <a href="#findNextRef">findNextRef</a>(). The list can be sorted with <a href="#sort">sort</a>().
+You can count the number of occurrences of an item with <a href="#contains">contains</a>()
+or <a href="#containsRef">containsRef</a>(). You can get a pointer to the current item with
+<a href="#current">current</a>(), to an item at a particular index position in the list
+with <a href="#at">at</a>() or to the first or last item with <a href="#getFirst">getFirst</a>() and
+<a href="#getLast">getLast</a>(). You can also iterate over the list with <a href="#first">first</a>(),
+<a href="#last">last</a>(), <a href="#next">next</a>() and <a href="#prev">prev</a>() (which all update current()). The list's
+deletion property is set with <a href="tqptrcollection.html#setAutoDelete">setAutoDelete</a>().
+<p> <a name="example"></a>
+Example:
+<pre>
+ class Employee
+ {
+ public:
+ Employee() : sn( 0 ) { }
+ Employee( const <a href="ntqstring.html">TQString</a>&amp; forename, const <a href="ntqstring.html">TQString</a>&amp; surname, int salary )
+ : fn( forename ), sn( surname ), sal( salary )
+ { }
+
+ void setSalary( int salary ) { sal = salary; }
+
+ <a href="ntqstring.html">TQString</a> forename() const { return fn; }
+ <a href="ntqstring.html">TQString</a> surname() const { return sn; }
+ int salary() const { return sal; }
+
+ private:
+ <a href="ntqstring.html">TQString</a> fn;
+ <a href="ntqstring.html">TQString</a> sn;
+ int sal;
+ };
+
+ TQPtrList&lt;Employee&gt; list;
+ list.<a href="tqptrcollection.html#setAutoDelete">setAutoDelete</a>( TRUE ); // the list owns the objects
+
+ list.<a href="#append">append</a>( new Employee("John", "Doe", 50000) );
+ list.<a href="#append">append</a>( new Employee("Jane", "Williams", 80000) );
+ list.<a href="#append">append</a>( new Employee("Tom", "Jones", 60000) );
+
+ Employee *employee;
+ for ( employee = list.<a href="#first">first</a>(); employee; employee = list.<a href="#next">next</a>() )
+ cout &lt;&lt; employee-&gt;surname().latin1() &lt;&lt; ", " &lt;&lt;
+ employee-&gt;forename().latin1() &lt;&lt; " earns " &lt;&lt;
+ employee-&gt;salary() &lt;&lt; endl;
+ cout &lt;&lt; endl;
+
+ // very inefficient for big lists
+ for ( uint i = 0; i &lt; list.<a href="#count">count</a>(); ++i )
+ if ( list.<a href="#at">at</a>(i) )
+ cout &lt;&lt; list.<a href="#at">at</a>( i )-&gt;surname().latin1() &lt;&lt; endl;
+ </pre>
+
+<p> The output is
+<pre>
+ Doe, John earns 50000
+ Williams, Jane earns 80000
+ Jones, Tom earns 60000
+
+ Doe
+ Williams
+ Jones
+ </pre>
+
+<p> TQPtrList has several member functions for traversing the list, but
+using a <a href="tqptrlistiterator.html">TQPtrListIterator</a> can be more practical. Multiple list
+iterators may traverse the same list, independently of each other
+and of the current list item.
+<p> In the example above we make the call <a href="tqptrcollection.html#setAutoDelete">setAutoDelete</a>(TRUE).
+Enabling auto-deletion tells the list to delete items that are
+removed. The default is to not delete items when they are removed
+but this would cause a memory leak in the example because there
+are no other references to the list items.
+<p> When inserting an item into a list only the pointer is copied, not
+the item itself, i.e. a <a href="shclass.html#shallow-copy">shallow copy</a>. It is possible to make the
+list copy all of the item's data (deep copy) when an item is
+inserted. <a href="#insert">insert</a>(), <a href="#inSort">inSort</a>() and <a href="#append">append</a>() call the virtual
+function <a href="tqptrcollection.html#newItem">TQPtrCollection::newItem</a>() for the item to be inserted.
+Inherit a list and reimplement <a href="tqptrcollection.html#newItem">newItem</a>() to have deep copies.
+<p> When removing an item from a list, the virtual function
+<a href="tqptrcollection.html#deleteItem">TQPtrCollection::deleteItem</a>() is called. TQPtrList's default
+implementation is to delete the item if auto-deletion is enabled.
+<p> The virtual function <a href="#compareItems">compareItems</a>() can be reimplemented to
+compare two list items. This function is called from all list
+functions that need to compare list items, for instance
+<a href="#remove">remove</a>(const type*). If you only want to deal with pointers, there
+are functions that compare pointers instead, for instance
+<a href="#removeRef">removeRef</a>(const type*). These functions are somewhat faster than
+those that call compareItems().
+<p> List items are stored as <tt>void*</tt> in an internal TQLNode, which
+also holds pointers to the next and previous list items. The
+functions <a href="#currentNode">currentNode</a>(), <a href="#removeNode">removeNode</a>(), and <a href="#takeNode">takeNode</a>() operate
+directly on the TQLNode, but they should be used with care. The
+data component of the node is available through TQLNode::getData().
+<p> The <a href="ntqstrlist.html">TQStrList</a> class defined in <a href="qstrlist-h.html">ntqstrlist.h</a> is a list of <tt>char*</tt>.
+It reimplements <a href="tqptrcollection.html#newItem">newItem</a>(), <a href="tqptrcollection.html#deleteItem">deleteItem</a>() and <a href="#compareItems">compareItems</a>(). (But
+see <a href="ntqstringlist.html">TQStringList</a> for a list of Unicode TQStrings.)
+<p> <p>See also <a href="tqptrlistiterator.html">TQPtrListIterator</a>, <a href="collection.html">Collection Classes</a>, and <a href="tools.html">Non-GUI Classes</a>.

+<hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2>
+<h3 class=fn><a name="TQPtrList"></a>TQPtrList::TQPtrList ()
+</h3>
+
+<p> Constructs an empty list.
+
+<h3 class=fn><a name="TQPtrList-2"></a>TQPtrList::TQPtrList ( const&nbsp;<a href="tqptrlist.html">TQPtrList</a>&lt;type&gt;&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;list )
+</h3>
+
+<p> Constructs a copy of <em>list</em>.
+<p> Each item in <em>list</em> is <a href="#append">appended</a> to this
+list. Only the pointers are copied (shallow copy).
+
+<h3 class=fn><a name="~TQPtrList"></a>TQPtrList::~TQPtrList ()
+</h3>
+
+<p> Removes all items from the list and destroys the list.
+<p> All list iterators that access this list will be reset.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="tqptrcollection.html#setAutoDelete">setAutoDelete</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn>void <a name="append"></a>TQPtrList::append ( const&nbsp;type&nbsp;*&nbsp;item )
+</h3>
+
+<p> Inserts the <em>item</em> at the end of the list.
+<p> The inserted item becomes the current list item. This is
+equivalent to <tt>insert( count(), item )</tt>.
+<p> <em>item</em> must not be 0.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#insert">insert</a>(), <a href="#current">current</a>(), and <a href="#prepend">prepend</a>().
+
+<p>Examples: <a href="customlayout-example.html#x1500">customlayout/border.cpp</a>, <a href="customlayout-example.html#x1518">customlayout/card.cpp</a>, <a href="customlayout-example.html#x1477">customlayout/flow.cpp</a>, <a href="grapher-nsplugin-example.html#x2770">grapher/grapher.cpp</a>, <a href="listviews-example.html#x160">listviews/listviews.cpp</a>, <a href="listviews-example.html#x131">listviews/listviews.h</a>, and <a href="qwerty-example.html#x387">qwerty/qwerty.cpp</a>.
+<h3 class=fn>type * <a name="at"></a>TQPtrList::at ( uint&nbsp;index )
+</h3>
+
+<p> Returns a pointer to the item at position <em>index</em> in the list, or
+0 if the index is out of range.
+<p> Sets the current list item to this item if <em>index</em> is valid. The
+valid range is <tt>0..(count() - 1)</tt> inclusive.
+<p> This function is very efficient. It starts scanning from the first
+item, last item, or current item, whichever is closest to <em>index</em>.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#current">current</a>().
+
+<p>Examples: <a href="customlayout-example.html#x1501">customlayout/border.cpp</a>, <a href="customlayout-example.html#x1519">customlayout/card.cpp</a>, <a href="customlayout-example.html#x1478">customlayout/flow.cpp</a>, <a href="dirview-example.html#x1697">dirview/dirview.cpp</a>, <a href="mdi-example.html#x2053">mdi/application.cpp</a>, and <a href="qwerty-example.html#x388">qwerty/qwerty.cpp</a>.
+<h3 class=fn>int <a name="at-2"></a>TQPtrList::at () const
+</h3>
+
+<p> This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
+<p> Returns the index of the current list item. The returned value is
+-1 if the current item is 0.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#current">current</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="autoDelete"></a>TQPtrCollection::autoDelete () const
+</h3>
+
+<p> Returns the setting of the auto-delete option. The default is FALSE.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="tqptrcollection.html#setAutoDelete">setAutoDelete</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn>void <a name="clear"></a>TQPtrList::clear ()<tt> [virtual]</tt>
+</h3>
+
+<p> Removes all items from the list.
+<p> The removed items are deleted if <a href="tqptrcollection.html#setAutoDelete">auto-deletion</a> is enabled.
+<p> All list iterators that access this list will be reset.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#remove">remove</a>(), <a href="#take">take</a>(), and <a href="tqptrcollection.html#setAutoDelete">setAutoDelete</a>().
+
+<p>Reimplemented from <a href="tqptrcollection.html#clear">TQPtrCollection</a>.
+<h3 class=fn>int <a name="compareItems"></a>TQPtrList::compareItems ( <a href="tqptrcollection.html#Item">TQPtrCollection::Item</a>&nbsp;item1, <a href="tqptrcollection.html#Item">TQPtrCollection::Item</a>&nbsp;item2 )<tt> [virtual protected]</tt>
+</h3>
+
+<p> This virtual function compares two list items.
+<p> Returns:
+<ul>
+<li> zero if <em>item1</em> == <em>item2</em>
+<li> nonzero if <em>item1</em> != <em>item2</em>
+</ul>
+<p> This function returns <em>int</em> rather than <em>bool</em> so that
+reimplementations can return three values and use it to sort by:
+<p> <ul>
+<li> 0 if <em>item1</em> == <em>item2</em>
+<li> &gt; 0 (positive integer) if <em>item1</em> &gt; <em>item2</em>
+<li> &lt; 0 (negative integer) if <em>item1</em> &lt; <em>item2</em>
+</ul>
+<p> <a href="#inSort">inSort</a>() requires that <a href="#compareItems">compareItems</a>() is implemented as described
+here.
+<p> This function should not modify the list because some const
+functions call compareItems().
+<p> The default implementation compares the pointers.
+
+<h3 class=fn>uint <a name="contains"></a>TQPtrList::contains ( const&nbsp;type&nbsp;*&nbsp;item ) const
+</h3>
+
+<p> Returns the number of occurrences of <em>item</em> in the list.
+<p> The <a href="#compareItems">compareItems</a>() function is called when looking for the <em>item</em>
+in the list. If compareItems() is not reimplemented, it is more
+efficient to call <a href="#containsRef">containsRef</a>().
+<p> This function does not affect the current list item.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#containsRef">containsRef</a>() and <a href="#compareItems">compareItems</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn>uint <a name="containsRef"></a>TQPtrList::containsRef ( const&nbsp;type&nbsp;*&nbsp;item ) const
+</h3>
+
+<p> Returns the number of occurrences of <em>item</em> in the list.
+<p> Calling this function is much faster than <a href="#contains">contains</a>() because
+contains() compares <em>item</em> with each list item using
+<a href="#compareItems">compareItems</a>(), whereas his function only compares the pointers.
+<p> This function does not affect the current list item.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#contains">contains</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn>uint <a name="count"></a>TQPtrList::count () const<tt> [virtual]</tt>
+</h3>
+
+<p> Returns the number of items in the list.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#isEmpty">isEmpty</a>().
+
+<p>Examples: <a href="customlayout-example.html#x1502">customlayout/border.cpp</a>, <a href="customlayout-example.html#x1520">customlayout/card.cpp</a>, <a href="customlayout-example.html#x1479">customlayout/flow.cpp</a>, <a href="dirview-example.html#x1699">dirview/dirview.cpp</a>, <a href="grapher-nsplugin-example.html#x2771">grapher/grapher.cpp</a>, <a href="mdi-example.html#x2054">mdi/application.cpp</a>, and <a href="qwerty-example.html#x389">qwerty/qwerty.cpp</a>.
+<p>Reimplemented from <a href="tqptrcollection.html#count">TQPtrCollection</a>.
+<h3 class=fn>type * <a name="current"></a>TQPtrList::current () const
+</h3>
+
+<p> Returns a pointer to the current list item. The current item may
+be 0 (implies that the current index is -1).
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#at">at</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn>TQLNode * <a name="currentNode"></a>TQPtrList::currentNode () const
+</h3>
+
+<p> Returns a pointer to the current list node.
+<p> The node can be kept and removed later using <a href="#removeNode">removeNode</a>(). The
+advantage is that the item can be removed directly without
+searching the list.
+<p> <b>Warning:</b> Do not call this function unless you are an expert.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#removeNode">removeNode</a>(), <a href="#takeNode">takeNode</a>(), and <a href="#current">current</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn>int <a name="find"></a>TQPtrList::find ( const&nbsp;type&nbsp;*&nbsp;item )
+</h3>
+
+<p> Finds the first occurrence of <em>item</em> in the list.
+<p> If the item is found, the list sets the current item to point to
+the found item and returns the index of this item. If the item is
+not found, the list sets the current item to 0, the current
+index to -1, and returns -1.
+<p> The <a href="#compareItems">compareItems</a>() function is called when searching for the item
+in the list. If compareItems() is not reimplemented, it is more
+efficient to call <a href="#findRef">findRef</a>().
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#findNext">findNext</a>(), <a href="#findRef">findRef</a>(), <a href="#compareItems">compareItems</a>(), and <a href="#current">current</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn>int <a name="findNext"></a>TQPtrList::findNext ( const&nbsp;type&nbsp;*&nbsp;item )
+</h3>
