-
-The TQPtrList class is a template class that provides a list.
-<p>
-
-<p>
-<p> <a href="qvaluelist.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="qptrcollection.html#setAutoDelete">setAutoDelete</a>().
-<p> <a name="example"></a>
-Example:
-<pre>
- class Employee
- {
- public:
- Employee() : sn( 0 ) { }
- Employee( const <a href="qstring.html">TQString</a>&amp; forename, const <a href="qstring.html">TQString</a>&amp; surname, int salary )
- : fn( forename ), sn( surname ), sal( salary )
- { }
-
- void setSalary( int salary ) { sal = salary; }
-
- <a href="qstring.html">TQString</a> forename() const { return fn; }
- <a href="qstring.html">TQString</a> surname() const { return sn; }
- int salary() const { return sal; }
-
- private:
- <a href="qstring.html">TQString</a> fn;
- <a href="qstring.html">TQString</a> sn;
- int sal;
- };
-
- TQPtrList&lt;Employee&gt; list;
- list.<a href="qptrcollection.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="qptrlistiterator.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="qptrcollection.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="qptrcollection.html#newItem">TQPtrCollection::newItem</a>() for the item to be inserted.
-Inherit a list and reimplement <a href="qptrcollection.html#newItem">newItem</a>() to have deep copies.
-<p> When removing an item from a list, the virtual function
-<a href="qptrcollection.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="qstrlist.html">TQStrList</a> class defined in <a href="qstrlist-h.html">qstrlist.h</a> is a list of <tt>char*</tt>.
-It reimplements <a href="qptrcollection.html#newItem">newItem</a>(), <a href="qptrcollection.html#deleteItem">deleteItem</a>() and <a href="#compareItems">compareItems</a>(). (But
-see <a href="qstringlist.html">TQStringList</a> for a list of Unicode TQStrings.)
-<p> <p>See also <a href="qptrlistiterator.html">TQPtrListIterator</a>, <a href="collection.html">Collection Classes</a>, and <a href="tools.html">Non-GUI Classes</a>.

-<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="qptrlist.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="qptrcollection.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>().

-<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="qptrcollection.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="qptrcollection.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="qptrcollection.html#setAutoDelete">setAutoDelete</a>().
-
-<p>Reimplemented from <a href="qptrcollection.html#clear">TQPtrCollection</a>.
-<h3 class=fn>int <a name="compareItems"></a>TQPtrList::compareItems ( <a href="qptrcollection.html#Item">TQPtrCollection::Item</a>&nbsp;item1, <a href="qptrcollection.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="qptrcollection.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>
-
-<p> Finds the next occurrence of <em>item</em> in the list, starting from
-the current list item.
-<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="#findNextRef">findNextRef</a>().
-<p> <p>See also <a href="#find">find</a>(), <a href="#findNextRef">findNextRef</a>(), <a href="#compareItems">compareItems</a>(), and <a href="#current">current</a>().
-
-<h3 class=fn>int <a name="findNextRef"></a>TQPtrList::findNextRef ( const&nbsp;type&nbsp;*&nbsp;item )
-</h3>
-
-<p> Finds the next occurrence of <em>item</em> in the list, starting from
-the current list item.
-<p> If the item is found, the list sets the current item to point to
