TQDialogs may be +modal or modeless. TQDialogs support <a href="#extensibility">extensibility</a> and can provide a <a href="#return">return + value</a>. They can have <a href="#default">default + buttons</a>. TQDialogs can also have a <a href="tqsizegrip.html">TQSizeGrip</a> in their +lower-right corner, using <a href="#setSizeGripEnabled">setSizeGripEnabled</a>(). +<p> Note that TQDialog uses the parent widget slightly differently from +other classes in TQt. A dialog is always a top-level widget, but if +it has a parent, its default location is centered on top of the +parent's top-level widget (if it is not top-level itself). It will +also share the parent's taskbar entry. +<p> <a name="modal"></a> +<h3> Modal Dialogs +</h3> +<a name="1"></a><p> A <b>modal</b> dialog is a dialog that blocks input to other +visible windows in the same application. Users must finish +interacting with the dialog and close it before they can access +any other window in the application. Dialogs that are used to +request a file name from the user or that are used to set +application preferences are usually modal. +<p> The most common way to display a modal dialog is to call its +<a href="#exec">exec</a>() function. When the user closes the dialog, exec() will +provide a useful <a href="#return">return value</a>. Typically we +connect a default button, e.g. "OK", to the <a href="#accept">accept</a>() slot and a +"Cancel" button to the <a href="#reject">reject</a>() slot, to get the dialog to close +and return the appropriate value. Alternatively you can connect to +the <a href="#done">done</a>() slot, passing it <a href="#DialogCode-enum">Accepted</a> or <a href="#DialogCode-enum">Rejected</a>. +<p> An alternative is to call <a href="#setModal">setModal</a>(TRUE), then <a href="#show">show</a>(). Unlike +exec(), show() returns control to the caller immediately. Calling +setModal(TRUE) is especially useful for progress dialogs, where +the user must have the ability to interact with the dialog, e.g. +to cancel a long running operation. If you use show() and +setModal(TRUE) together you must call +<a href="ntqapplication.html#processEvents">TQApplication::processEvents</a>() periodically during processing to +enable the user to interact with the dialog. (See <a href="ntqprogressdialog.html">TQProgressDialog</a>.) +<p> <a name="modeless"></a> +<h3> Modeless Dialogs +</h3> +<a name="1-1"></a><p> A <b>modeless</b> dialog is a dialog that operates +independently of other windows in the same application. Find and +replace dialogs in word-processors are often modeless to allow the +user to interact with both the application's main window and with +the dialog. +<p> Modeless dialogs are displayed using show(), which returns control +to the caller immediately. +<p> <a name="default"></a> +<h3> Default button +</h3> +<a name="1-2"></a><p> A dialog's <em>default</em> button is the button that's pressed when the +user presses Enter (Return). This button is used to signify that +the user accepts the dialog's settings and wants to close the +dialog. Use <a href="tqpushbutton.html#setDefault">TQPushButton::setDefault</a>(), <a href="tqpushbutton.html#isDefault">TQPushButton::isDefault</a>() +and <a href="tqpushbutton.html#autoDefault">TQPushButton::autoDefault</a>() to set and control the dialog's +default button. +<p> <a name="escapekey"></a> +<h3> Escape Key +</h3> +<a name="1-3"></a><p> If the user presses the Esc key in a dialog, <a href="#reject">TQDialog::reject</a>() +will be called. This will cause the window to close: the <a href="qcloseevent.html">closeEvent</a> cannot be <a href="qcloseevent.html#ignore">ignored</a>. +<p> <a name="extensibility"></a> +<h3> Extensibility +</h3> +<a name="1-4"></a><p> Extensibility is the ability to show the dialog in two ways: a +partial dialog that shows the most commonly used options, and a +full dialog that shows all the options. Typically an extensible +dialog will initially appear as a partial dialog, but with a +"More" toggle button. If the user presses the "More" button down, +the full dialog will appear. The extension widget will be resized +to its <a href="tqwidget.html#sizeHint">sizeHint</a>(). If orientation is <a href="ntqt.html#Orientation-enum">Horizontal</a> the extension +widget's <a href="tqwidget.html#height">height</a>() will be expanded to the height() of the dialog. +If the orientation is <a href="ntqt.html#Orientation-enum">Vertical</a> the extension widget's <a href="tqwidget.html#width">width</a>() +will be expanded to the width() of the dialog. Extensibility is +controlled with <a href="#setExtension">setExtension</a>(), <a href="#setOrientation">setOrientation</a>() and +<a href="#showExtension">showExtension</a>(). +<p> <a name="return"></a> +<h3> Return value (modal dialogs) +</h3> +<a name="1-5"></a><p> Modal dialogs are often used in situations where a return value is +required, e.g. to indicate whether the user pressed "OK" or +"Cancel". A dialog can be closed by calling the <a href="#accept">accept</a>() or the +<a href="#reject">reject</a>() slots, and <a href="#exec">exec</a>() will return <a href="#DialogCode-enum">Accepted</a> or <a href="#DialogCode-enum">Rejected</a> +as appropriate. The exec() call returns the result of the dialog. +The result is also available from <a href="#result">result</a>() if the dialog has not +been destroyed. If the <a href="ntqt.html#WidgetFlags-enum">WDestructiveClose</a> flag is set, the +dialog is deleted after exec() returns. +<p> <a name="examples"></a> +<h3> Examples +</h3> +<a name="1-6"></a><p> A modal dialog. +<p> + +<pre> <a href="tqfiledialog.html">TQFileDialog</a> *dlg = new <a href="tqfiledialog.html">TQFileDialog</a>( workingDirectory, + <a href="tqstring.html#TQString-null">TQString::null</a>, 0, 0, TRUE ); + <a name="x2130"></a> dlg-><a href="tqwidget.html#setCaption">setCaption</a>( TQFileDialog::<a href="tqobject.html#tr">tr</a>( "Open" ) ); + <a name="x2128"></a> dlg-><a href="tqfiledialog.html#setMode">setMode</a>( TQFileDialog::ExistingFile ); + <a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> result; + <a name="x2126"></a> if ( dlg-><a href="#exec">exec</a>() == TQDialog::<a href="#DialogCode-enum">Accepted</a> ) { + <a name="x2127"></a> result = dlg-><a href="tqfiledialog.html#selectedFile">selectedFile</a>(); + <a name="x2129"></a> workingDirectory = dlg-><a href="tqfiledialog.html#url">url</a>(); + } + delete dlg; + return result; +</pre> +<p> A modeless dialog.
