Define a template +instance TQAsciiDict<X> to create a dictionary that operates on +pointers to X (X*). +<p> A dictionary is a collection of key-value pairs. The key is a +char* used for insertion, removal and lookup. The value is a +pointer. Dictionaries provide very fast insertion and lookup. +<p> TQAsciiDict cannot handle Unicode keys; use the <a href="tqdict.html">TQDict</a> template +instead, which uses <a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> keys. A TQDict has the same +performace as a TQAsciiDict. +<p> Example: +<pre> + TQAsciiDict<TQLineEdit> fields; // char* keys, TQLineEdit* values + fields.<a href="#insert">insert</a>( "forename", new <a href="ntqlineedit.html">TQLineEdit</a>( this ) ); + fields.<a href="#insert">insert</a>( "surname", new <a href="ntqlineedit.html">TQLineEdit</a>( this ) ); + + fields["forename"]->setText( "Homer" ); + fields["surname"]->setText( "Simpson" ); + + <a href="tqasciidictiterator.html">TQAsciiDictIterator</a><TQLineEdit> it( fields ); // See TQAsciiDictIterator + for( ; it.<a href="tqasciidictiterator.html#current">current</a>(); ++it ) + cout << it.<a href="tqasciidictiterator.html#currentKey">currentKey</a>() << ": " << it.<a href="tqasciidictiterator.html#current">current</a>()->text() << endl; + cout << endl; + + if ( fields["forename"] && fields["surname"] ) + cout << fields["forename"]->text() << " " + << fields["surname"]->text() << endl; // Prints "Homer Simpson" + + fields.<a href="#remove">remove</a>( "forename" ); // Does not delete the line edit + if ( ! fields["forename"] ) + cout << "forename is not in the dictionary" << endl; + </pre> + +In this example we use a dictionary to keep track of the line +edits we're using. We insert each line edit into the dictionary +with a unique name and then access the line edits via the +dictionary. See <a href="tqptrdict.html">TQPtrDict</a>, <a href="tqintdict.html">TQIntDict</a> and <a href="tqdict.html">TQDict</a>. +<p> See TQDict for full details, including the choice of dictionary +size, and how deletions are handled. +<p> <p>See also <a href="tqasciidictiterator.html">TQAsciiDictIterator</a>, <a href="tqdict.html">TQDict</a>, <a href="tqintdict.html">TQIntDict</a>, <a href="tqptrdict.html">TQPtrDict</a>, <a href="collection.html">Collection Classes</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="TQAsciiDict"></a>TQAsciiDict::TQAsciiDict ( int size = 17, bool caseSensitive = TRUE, bool copyKeys = TRUE ) +</h3> + +<p> Constructs a dictionary optimized for less than <em>size</em> entries. +<p> We recommend setting <em>size</em> to a suitably large <a href="primes.html#prime">prime</a> number (a +bit larger than the expected number of entries).
