Q3ListBox::Q3ListBox ( QWidget * parent = 0, const char * name = 0, Qt::WindowFlags f = 0 )

Constructs a new empty list box called name and with parent parent and widget attributes f.

This constructor sets the Qt::WA_StaticContent and the Qt::WA_NoBackground attributes to boost performance when drawing Q3ListBoxItems. This may be unsuitable for custom Q3ListBoxItem classes, in which case Qt::WA_StaticContents and Qt::WA_NoBackground should be cleared on the viewport() after construction.

Q3ListBox::~Q3ListBox ()

Destroys the list box. Deletes all list box items.

bool Q3ListBox::autoBottomScrollBar () const

Use hScrollBarMode() instead. Returns true if the horizontal scrollbar mode is set to Auto.

See also setAutoBottomScrollBar().

bool Q3ListBox::autoScroll () const

Use dragAutoScroll() instead. This function always returns true.

See also setAutoScroll().

bool Q3ListBox::autoScrollBar () const

Use vScrollBarMode() instead. Returns true if the vertical scrollbar mode is Auto.

See also setAutoScrollBar().

bool Q3ListBox::autoUpdate () const

Returns true. Qt always updates automatically.

See also setAutoUpdate().

bool Q3ListBox::bottomScrollBar () const

If there is a current item, the list box is scrolled so that this item is displayed centered.

See also Q3ListBox::ensureCurrentVisible().

void Q3ListBox::changeEvent ( QEvent * ev ) [virtual protected]

Reimplemented from QWidget::changeEvent().

void Q3ListBox::changeItem ( const Q3ListBoxItem * lbi, int index )

Replaces the item at position index with lbi. If index is negative or too large, changeItem() does nothing.

The item that has been changed will become selected.

See also insertItem() and removeItem().

void Q3ListBox::changeItem ( const QString & text, int index )

This is an overloaded function.

Replaces the item at position index with a new list box text item with text text.

The operation is ignored if index is out of range.

See also insertItem() and removeItem().

void Q3ListBox::changeItem ( const QPixmap & pixmap, int index )

This is an overloaded function.

Replaces the item at position index with a new list box pixmap item with pixmap pixmap.

The operation is ignored if index is out of range.

See also insertItem() and removeItem().

void Q3ListBox::changeItem ( const QPixmap & pixmap, const QString & text, int index )

This is an overloaded function.

See also insertItem() and removeItem().

void Q3ListBox::clear () [slot]

Deletes all the items in the list.

See also removeItem().

Deselects all items, if possible.

Note that a Single selection list box will automatically select an item if it has keyboard focus.

void Q3ListBox::clicked ( Q3ListBoxItem * item ) [signal]

This signal is emitted when the user clicks any mouse button. If item is not 0, the cursor is on item. If item is 0, the mouse cursor isn't on any item.

Note that you must not delete any Q3ListBoxItem objects in slots connected to this signal.

void Q3ListBox::clicked ( Q3ListBoxItem * item, const QPoint & pnt ) [signal]

This is an overloaded function.

This signal is emitted when the user clicks any mouse button. If item is not 0, the cursor is on item. If item is 0, the mouse cursor isn't on any item.

pnt is the position of the mouse cursor in the global coordinate system (QMouseEvent::globalPos()). (If the click's press and release differs by a pixel or two, pnt is the position at release time.)

Note that you must not delete any Q3ListBoxItem objects in slots connected to this signal.

void Q3ListBox::contentsContextMenuEvent ( QContextMenuEvent * e ) [virtual protected]

Reimplemented from Q3ScrollView::contentsContextMenuEvent().

void Q3ListBox::contextMenuRequested ( Q3ListBoxItem * item, const QPoint & pos ) [signal]

pos is the position for the context menu in the global coordinate system.

void Q3ListBox::currentChanged ( Q3ListBoxItem * item ) [signal]

This signal is emitted when the user makes a new item the current item. item is the new current list box item.

See also setCurrentItem() and currentItem().

void Q3ListBox::doLayout () const [protected]

This function does the hard layout work. You should never need to call it.

void Q3ListBox::doubleClicked ( Q3ListBoxItem * item ) [signal]

This signal is emitted whenever an item is double-clicked. It's emitted on the second button press, not the second button release. If item is not 0, the cursor is on item. If item is 0, the mouse cursor isn't on any item.

Ensures that the current item is visible.

bool Q3ListBox::eventFilter ( QObject * o, QEvent * e ) [virtual protected]

Reimplemented from QObject::eventFilter().

Q3ListBoxItem * Q3ListBox::findItem ( const QString & text, ComparisonFlags compare = BeginsWith ) const

Finds the first list box item that has the text text and returns it, or returns 0 of no such item could be found. If ComparisonFlags are specified in compare then these flags are used, otherwise the default is a case-insensitive, "begins with" search.

int Q3ListBox::findItem ( int yPos ) const [protected]

Use index(itemAt(yPos)) instead.

Q3ListBoxItem * Q3ListBox::firstItem () const

Returns the first item in this list box. If the list box is empty, returns 0.

This is an overloaded function.

This signal is emitted when the user makes a new item the current item.

See also currentChanged(), selected(), currentItem(), and selectionChanged().

void Q3ListBox::highlighted ( const QString & text ) [signal]

This is an overloaded function.

This signal is emitted when the user makes a new item the current item and the item is (or has) as string. The argument is the new current item's text.

See also currentChanged(), selected(), currentItem(), and selectionChanged().

int Q3ListBox::inSort ( const Q3ListBoxItem * lbi )

Using this method is quite inefficient. We suggest to use insertItem() for inserting and sort() afterwards.

Inserts lbi at its sorted position in the list box and returns the position.

All items must be inserted with inSort() to maintain the sorting order. inSort() treats any pixmap (or user-defined type) as lexicographically less than any string.

See also insertItem() and sort().

int Q3ListBox::inSort ( const QString & text )

This is an overloaded function.

Using this method is quite inefficient. We suggest to use insertItem() for inserting and sort() afterwards.

Inserts a new item of text at its sorted position in the list box and returns the position.

All items must be inserted with inSort() to maintain the sorting order. inSort() treats any pixmap (or user-defined type) as lexicographically less than any string.

See also insertItem() and sort().

int Q3ListBox::index ( const Q3ListBoxItem * lbi ) const

Returns the index of lbi, or -1 if the item is not in this list box or lbi is 0.

See also item().

QVariant Q3ListBox::inputMethodQuery ( Qt::InputMethodQuery query ) const [virtual]

Reimplemented from QWidget::inputMethodQuery().

void Q3ListBox::insertItem ( const Q3ListBoxItem * lbi, int index = -1 )

Inserts the item lbi into the list at position index.

If index is negative or larger than the number of items in the list box, lbi is inserted at the end of the list.

See also insertStrList().

void Q3ListBox::insertItem ( const Q3ListBoxItem * lbi, const Q3ListBoxItem * after )

This is an overloaded function.

Inserts the item lbi into the list after the item after, or at the beginning if after is 0.

See also insertStrList().

void Q3ListBox::insertItem ( const QString & text, int index = -1 )

This is an overloaded function.

Inserts a new list box text item with the text text into the list at position index.

If index is negative, text is inserted at the end of the list.

See also insertStrList().

void Q3ListBox::insertItem ( const QPixmap & pixmap, int index = -1 )

This is an overloaded function.

Inserts a new list box pixmap item with the pixmap pixmap into the list at position index.

If index is negative, pixmap is inserted at the end of the list.

void Q3ListBox::insertItem ( const QPixmap & pixmap, const QString & text, int index = -1 )

This is an overloaded function.

Inserts a new list box pixmap item with the pixmap pixmap and the text text into the list at position index.

See also insertStrList().

void Q3ListBox::insertStrList ( const char ** strings, int numStrings = -1, int index = -1 )

Inserts the numStrings strings of the array strings into the list at position index.

If index is negative, insertStrList() inserts strings at the end of the list. If index is too large, the operation is ignored.

Warning: This function uses const char * rather than QString, so we recommend against using it. It is provided so that legacy code will continue to work, and so that programs that certainly will not need to handle code outside a single 8-bit locale can use it. See insertStringList() which uses real QStrings.

Warning: This function is never significantly faster than a loop around insertItem().

See also insertItem() and insertStringList().

void Q3ListBox::insertStringList ( const QStringList & list, int index = -1 )

Inserts the string list list into the list at position index.

If index is negative, list is inserted at the end of the list. If index is too large, the operation is ignored.

Warning: This function is never significantly faster than a loop around insertItem().

See also insertItem() and insertStrList().

See also currentChanged(), highlighted(), and selectionChanged().

Q3ListBoxItem * Q3ListBox::selectedItem () const

Returns the selected item if the list box is in single-selection mode and an item is selected.

If no items are selected or the list box is in another selection mode this function returns 0.

See also setSelected() and setMultiSelection().

void Q3ListBox::selectionChanged () [signal]

This signal is emitted when the selection set of a list box changes. This signal is emitted in each selection mode. If the user selects five items by drag-selecting, Q3ListBox tries to emit just one selectionChanged() signal so the signal can be connected to computationally expensive slots.

See also selected() and currentItem().

void Q3ListBox::selectionChanged ( Q3ListBoxItem * item ) [signal]

This is an overloaded function.

This signal is emitted when the selection in a Single selection list box changes. item is the newly selected list box item.

Scrolls the list box so the item at position index in the list is displayed in the bottom row of the list box.

See also setTopItem().

void Q3ListBox::setBottomScrollBar ( bool enable )

Use setHScrollBarMode() instead.

If enable is true, pass AlwaysOn as the argument to setHScrollBarMode(); otherwise, pass AlwaysOff.

See also bottomScrollBar().

void Q3ListBox::setDragSelect ( bool b )

See also scrollBar().

void Q3ListBox::setSelected ( Q3ListBoxItem * item, bool select ) [virtual]

Selects item if select is true or unselects it if select is false, and repaints the item appropriately.

If the list box is a Single selection list box and select is true, setSelected() calls setCurrentItem().

If the list box is a Single selection list box, select is false, setSelected() calls clearSelection().

See also selected(), setMultiSelection(), setCurrentItem(), clearSelection(), and currentItem().

void Q3ListBox::setSelected ( int index, bool select )

This is an overloaded function.

If select is true the item at position index is selected; otherwise the item is deselected.

To compare the items, the text (Q3ListBoxItem::text()) of the items is used.

void Q3ListBox::takeItem ( const Q3ListBoxItem * item )

Removes item from the list box and causes an update of the screen display. The item is not deleted. You should normally not need to call this function because Q3ListBoxItem::~Q3ListBoxItem() calls it. The normal way to delete an item is with delete.

See also Q3ListBox::insertItem().

QString Q3ListBox::text ( int index ) const

Returns the text at position index, or an empty string if there is no text at that position.

See also pixmap().
