<hr><a name="details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>


The TQButtonGroup widget organizes <a href="ntqbutton.html">TQButton</a> widgets in a group.
<p> 



<p> A button group widget makes it easier to deal with groups of
buttons. Each button in a button group has a unique identifier.
The button group emits a <a href="#clicked">clicked</a>() signal with this identifier
when a button in the group is clicked. This makes a button group
particularly useful when you have several similar buttons and want
to connect all their clicked() signals to a single slot.
<p> An <a href="#setExclusive">exclusive</a> button group switches
off all toggle buttons except the one that was clicked. A button
group is, by default, non-exclusive. Note that all radio buttons
that are inserted into a button group are mutually exclusive even
if the button group is non-exclusive. (See
<a href="#setRadioButtonExclusive">setRadioButtonExclusive</a>().)
<p> There are two ways of using a button group:
<ul>
<li> The button group is the parent widget of a number of buttons,
i.e. the button group is the parent argument in the button
constructor. The buttons are assigned identifiers 0, 1, 2, etc.,
in the order they are created. A TQButtonGroup can display a frame
and a title because it inherits <a href="ntqgroupbox.html">TQGroupBox</a>.
<li> The button group is an invisible widget and the contained
buttons have some other parent widget. In this usage, each button
must be manually inserted, using <a href="#insert">insert</a>(), into the button group
and given an identifier.
</ul>
<p> A button can be removed from the group with <a href="#remove">remove</a>(). A pointer to
a button with a given id can be obtained using <a href="#find">find</a>(). The id of a
button is available using <a href="#id">id</a>(). A button can be set <em>on</em> with
<a href="#setButton">setButton</a>(). The number of buttons in the group is returned by
<a href="#count">count</a>().

Constructs a button group with title <em>title</em>. Child widgets will
be arranged in <em>strips</em> rows or columns (depending on <em>orientation</em>).
<p> The <em>parent</em> and <em>name</em> arguments are passed to the <a href="tqwidget.html">TQWidget</a>
constructor.

<h3 class=fn>void <a name="clicked"></a>TQButtonGroup::clicked ( int&nbsp;id )<tt> [signal]</tt>
</h3>

<p> This signal is emitted when a button in the group is <a href="ntqbutton.html#clicked">clicked</a>. The <em>id</em> argument is the
button's identifier.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#insert">insert</a>().

<p>Examples: <a href="drawdemo-example.html#x1062">drawdemo/drawdemo.cpp</a> and <a href="xform-example.html#x1221">xform/xform.cpp</a>.
<h3 class=fn>int <a name="count"></a>TQButtonGroup::count () const
</h3>
Returns the number of buttons in the group.

<h3 class=fn><a href="ntqbutton.html">TQButton</a>&nbsp;* <a name="find"></a>TQButtonGroup::find ( int&nbsp;id ) const
</h3>
Returns the button with the specified identifier <em>id</em>, or 0 if
the button was not found.

<h3 class=fn>int <a name="id"></a>TQButtonGroup::id ( <a href="ntqbutton.html">TQButton</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;button ) const
</h3>
Returns the id of <em>button</em>, or -1 if <em>button</em> is not a member of
this group.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#selectedId-prop">selectedId</a>.

<h3 class=fn>int <a name="insert"></a>TQButtonGroup::insert ( <a href="ntqbutton.html">TQButton</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;button, int&nbsp;id = -1 )
</h3>
Inserts the <em>button</em> with the identifier <em>id</em> into the button
group. Returns the button identifier.
<p> Buttons are normally inserted into a button group automatically by
passing the button group as the parent when the button is
constructed. So it is not necessary to manually insert buttons
that have this button group as their parent widget. An exception
is when you want custom identifiers instead of the default 0, 1,
2, etc., or if you want the buttons to have some other parent.
<p> The button is assigned the identifier <em>id</em> or an automatically
generated identifier. It works as follows: If <em>id</em> >= 0, this
identifier is assigned. If <em>id</em> == -1 (default), the identifier
is equal to the number of buttons in the group. If <em>id</em> is any
other negative integer, for instance -2, a unique identifier
(negative integer &lt;= -2) is generated. No button has an id of -1.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#find">find</a>(), <a href="#remove">remove</a>(), and <a href="#exclusive-prop">exclusive</a>.

<p>Examples: <a href="listbox-example.html#x1428">listbox/listbox.cpp</a> and <a href="xform-example.html#x1222">xform/xform.cpp</a>.
