public class QSplitterHandle
extends QWidget

The QSplitterHandle class provides handle functionality of the splitter.

QSplitterHandle is typically what people think about when they think about a splitter. It is the handle that is used to resize the widgets.

A typical developer using QSplitter will never have to worry about QSplitterHandle. It is provided for developers who want splitter handles that provide extra features, such as popup menus.

The typical way one would create splitter handles is to subclass QSplitter then reimplement QSplitter::createHandle() to instantiate the custom splitter handle. For example, a minimum QSplitter subclass might look like this:

    class Splitter : public QSplitter
    {
    public:
        Splitter(Qt::Orientation orientation, QWidget *parent = 0);

    protected:
        QSplitterHandle *createHandle();
    };

The createHandle() implementation simply constructs a custom splitter handle, called Splitter in this example:

    QSplitterHandle *Splitter::createHandle()
    {
        return new SplitterHandle(orientation(), this);
    }

Information about a given handle can be obtained using functions like orientation and opaqueResize, and is retrieved from its parent splitter. Details like these can be used to give custom handles different appearances depending on the splitter's orientation.

The complexity of a custom handle subclass depends on the tasks that it needs to perform. A simple subclass might only provide a paintEvent implementation:

    void SplitterHandle::paintEvent(QPaintEvent *event)
    {
        QPainter painter(this);
        if (orientation() == Qt::Horizontal) {
            gradient.setStart(rect().left(), rect().height()/2);
            gradient.setFinalStop(rect().right(), rect().height()/2);
        } else {
            gradient.setStart(rect().width()/2, rect().top());
            gradient.setFinalStop(rect().width()/2, rect().bottom());
        }
        painter.fillRect(event->rect(), QBrush(gradient));
    }

In this example, a predefined gradient is set up differently depending on the orientation of the handle. QSplitterHandle provides a reasonable size hint for the handle, so the subclass does not need to provide a reimplementation of sizeHint unless the handle has special size requirements.

Constructor Detail

QSplitterHandle

public QSplitterHandle(Qt.Orientation o,
                       QSplitter parent)

Creates a QSplitter handle with the given o and QSplitter parent.

Method Detail

closestLegalPosition

protected final int closestLegalPosition(int p)

Returns the closest legal position to p of the splitter handle. The positions are measured from the left or top edge of the splitter, even for right-to-left languages.

See Also:
QSplitter::closestLegalPosition, moveSplitter

moveSplitter

protected final void moveSplitter(int p)

Tells the splitter to move this handle to position p, which is the distance from the left or top edge of the widget.

Note that p is also measured from the left (or top) for right-to-left languages. This function will map p to the appropriate position before calling QSplitter::moveSplitter().

See Also:
QSplitter::moveSplitter, closestLegalPosition

opaqueResize

public final boolean opaqueResize()

Returns true if widgets are resized dynamically (opaquely), otherwise returns false. This value is controlled by the QSplitter.

See Also:
QSplitter::opaqueResize

orientation

public final Qt.Orientation orientation()

Returns the handle's orientation. This is usually propagated from the QSplitter.

See Also:
setOrientation, QSplitter::orientation

setOrientation

public final void setOrientation(Qt.Orientation o)

Sets the orientation of the splitter handle to o. This is usually propogated from the QSplitter.

See Also:
orientation, QSplitter::setOrientation

splitter

public final QSplitter splitter()

Returns the splitter associated with this splitter handle.

See Also:
QSplitter::handle

event

public boolean event(QEvent arg__1)

This is the main event handler; it handles event arg__1. You can reimplement this function in a subclass, but we recommend using one of the specialized event handlers instead.

Key press and release events are treated differently from other events. event checks for Tab and Shift+Tab and tries to move the focus appropriately. If there is no widget to move the focus to (or the key press is not Tab or Shift+Tab), event calls keyPressEvent.

Mouse and tablet event handling is also slightly special: only when the widget is enabled, event will call the specialized handlers such as mousePressEvent; otherwise it will discard the event.

This function returns true if the event was recognized, otherwise it returns false. If the recognized event was accepted (see QEvent::accepted), any further processing such as event propagation to the parent widget stops.

Overrides:
event in class QWidget
See Also:
closeEvent, focusInEvent, focusOutEvent, enterEvent, keyPressEvent, keyReleaseEvent, leaveEvent, mouseDoubleClickEvent, mouseMoveEvent, mousePressEvent, mouseReleaseEvent, moveEvent, paintEvent, resizeEvent, QObject::event, QObject::timerEvent

mouseMoveEvent

protected void mouseMoveEvent(QMouseEvent arg__1)

This event handler, for event arg__1, can be reimplemented in a subclass to receive mouse move events for the widget.

If mouse tracking is switched off, mouse move events only occur if a mouse button is pressed while the mouse is being moved. If mouse tracking is switched on, mouse move events occur even if no mouse button is pressed.

QMouseEvent::pos() reports the position of the mouse cursor, relative to this widget. For press and release events, the position is usually the same as the position of the last mouse move event, but it might be different if the user's hand shakes. This is a feature of the underlying window system, not Qt.

Overrides:
mouseMoveEvent in class QWidget

setMouseTracking, mousePressEvent, mouseReleaseEvent, mouseDoubleClickEvent, event, QMouseEvent, Example

mousePressEvent

protected void mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent arg__1)

This event handler, for event arg__1, can be reimplemented in a subclass to receive mouse press events for the widget.

If you create new widgets in the mousePressEvent the mouseReleaseEvent may not end up where you expect, depending on the underlying window system (or X11 window manager), the widgets' location and maybe more.

The default implementation implements the closing of popup widgets when you click outside the window. For other widget types it does nothing.

Overrides:
mousePressEvent in class QWidget
See Also:
mouseReleaseEvent, mouseDoubleClickEvent, mouseMoveEvent, event, QMouseEvent, Example

mouseReleaseEvent

protected void mouseReleaseEvent(QMouseEvent arg__1)

This event handler, for event arg__1, can be reimplemented in a subclass to receive mouse release events for the widget.

Overrides:
mouseReleaseEvent in class QWidget
See Also:
mousePressEvent, mouseDoubleClickEvent, mouseMoveEvent, event, QMouseEvent, Example

paintEvent

protected void paintEvent(QPaintEvent arg__1)

This event handler can be reimplemented in a subclass to receive paint events which are passed in the arg__1 parameter.

A paint event is a request to repaint all or part of the widget. It can happen as a result of repaint or update, or because the widget was obscured and has now been uncovered, or for many other reasons.

Many widgets can simply repaint their entire surface when asked to, but some slow widgets need to optimize by painting only the requested region: QPaintEvent::region(). This speed optimization does not change the result, as painting is clipped to that region during event processing. QListView and QTableView do this, for example.

Qt also tries to speed up painting by merging multiple paint events into one. When update is called several times or the window system sends several paint events, Qt merges these events into one event with a larger region (see QRegion::united()). repaint does not permit this optimization, so we suggest using update whenever possible.

When the paint event occurs, the update region has normally been erased, so that you're painting on the widget's background.

The background can be set using setBackgroundRole and setPalette.

From Qt 4.0, QWidget automatically double-buffers its painting, so there's no need to write double-buffering code in paintEvent to avoid flicker.

Note: Under X11 it is possible to toggle the global double buffering by calling qt_x11_set_global_double_buffer(). Example usage:

    ...
    extern void qt_x11_set_global_double_buffer(bool);
    qt_x11_set_global_double_buffer(false);
    ...

Note: In general, one should refrain from calling update or repaint inside of paintEvent. For example, calling update or repaint on children inside a paintEvent results in undefined behavior; the child may or may not get a paint event.

paintEvent in class QWidget

event, repaint, update, QPainter, QPixmap, QPaintEvent, Analog Clock Example

sizeHint

public QSize sizeHint()

Returns the recommended size for the widget.

If the value of this property is an invalid size, no size is recommended.

The default implementation of sizeHint returns an invalid size if there is no layout for this widget, and returns the layout's preferred size otherwise.

Overrides:
sizeHint in class QWidget
See Also:
QSize::isValid, minimumSizeHint, sizePolicy, setMinimumSize, updateGeometry

fromNativePointer

public static QSplitterHandle fromNativePointer(QNativePointer nativePointer)
This function returns the QSplitterHandle instance pointed to by nativePointer

Parameters:
nativePointer - the QNativePointer of which object should be returned.
