+ \title License Wizard Example
+
+ The License Wizard example shows how to implement complex wizards in
+ Qt.
+
+ \image licensewizard-example.png Screenshot of the License Wizard example
+
+ Most wizards have a linear structure, with page 1 followed by
+ page 2 and so on until the last page. The
+ \l{dialogs/classwizard}{Class Wizard} example shows how to create
+ such wizards.
+
+ Some wizards are more complex in that they allow different
+ traversal paths based on the information provided by the user.
+ The License Wizard example illustrates this. It provides five
+ wizard pages; depending on which options are selected, the user
+ can reach different pages.
+
+ \image licensewizard-flow.png The License Wizard pages
+
+ The example consists of the following classes:
+
+ \list
+ \o \c LicenseWizard inherits QWizard and implements a non-linear
+ five-page wizard that leads the user through the process of
+ choosing a license agreement.
+ \o \c IntroPage, \c EvaluatePage, \c RegisterPage, \c
+ DetailsPage, and \c ConclusionPage are QWizardPage subclasses
+ that implement the wizard pages.
+ \endlist
+
+ \section1 The LicenseWizard Class
+
+ The \c LicenseWizard class derives from QWizard and provides a
+ five-page wizard that guides the user through the process of
+ registering their copy of a fictitious software product. Here's
+ the class definition:
+
+ \snippet examples/dialogs/licensewizard/licensewizard.h 1
+
+ The class's public API is limited to a constructor and an enum.
+ The enum defines the IDs associated with the various pages:
+
+ \table
+ \header \o Class name \o Enum value \o Page ID
+ \row \o \c IntroPage \o \c Page_Intro \o 0
+ \row \o \c EvaluatePage \o \c Page_Evaluate \o 1
+ \row \o \c RegisterPage \o \c Page_Register \o 2
+ \row \o \c DetailsPage \o \c Page_Details \o 3
+ \row \o \c ConclusionPage \o \c Page_Conclusion \o 4
+ \endtable
+
+ For this example, the IDs are arbitrary. The only constraints are
+ that they must be unique and different from -1. IDs allow us to
+ refer to pages.
+
+ \snippet examples/dialogs/licensewizard/licensewizard.cpp 2
+
+ In the constructor, we create the five pages, insert them into
+ the wizard using QWizard::setPage(), and set \c Page_Intro to be
+ the first page.
+
+ \snippet examples/dialogs/licensewizard/licensewizard.cpp 3
+ \snippet examples/dialogs/licensewizard/licensewizard.cpp 4
+
+ We set the style to \l{QWizard::}{ModernStyle} on all platforms
+ except Mac OS X,
+
+ \snippet examples/dialogs/licensewizard/licensewizard.cpp 5
+ \snippet examples/dialogs/licensewizard/licensewizard.cpp 6
+
+ We configure the QWizard to show a \gui Help button, which is
+ connected to our \c showHelp() slot. We also set the
+ \l{QWizard::}{LogoPixmap} for all pages that have a header (i.e.,
+ \c EvaluatePage, \c RegisterPage, and \c DetailsPage).
+
+ \snippet examples/dialogs/licensewizard/licensewizard.cpp 9
+ \snippet examples/dialogs/licensewizard/licensewizard.cpp 11
+ \dots
+ \snippet examples/dialogs/licensewizard/licensewizard.cpp 13
+
+ In \c showHelp(), we display help texts that are appropiate for
+ the current page. If the user clicks \gui Help twice for the same
+ page, we say, "Sorry, I already gave what help I could. Maybe you
+ should try asking a human?"
+
+ \section1 The IntroPage Class
+
+ The pages are defined in \c licensewizard.h and implemented in \c
+ licensewizard.cpp, together with \c LicenseWizard.
+
+ Here's the definition and implementation of \c{IntroPage}:
+
+ \snippet examples/dialogs/licensewizard/licensewizard.h 4
+ \codeline
+ \snippet examples/dialogs/licensewizard/licensewizard.cpp 16
+
+ A page inherits from QWizardPage. We set a
+ \l{QWizardPage::}{title} and a
+ \l{QWizard::WatermarkPixmap}{watermark pixmap}. By not setting
+ any \l{QWizardPage::}{subTitle}, we ensure that no header is
+ displayed for this page. (On Windows, it is customary for wizards
+ to display a watermark pixmap on the first and last pages, and to
+ have a header on the other pages.)
+
+ \snippet examples/dialogs/licensewizard/licensewizard.cpp 17
+ \snippet examples/dialogs/licensewizard/licensewizard.cpp 19
+
+ The \c nextId() function returns the ID for \c EvaluatePage if
+ the \gui{Evaluate the product for 30 days} option is checked;
+ otherwise it returns the ID for \c RegisterPage.
+
+ \section1 The EvaluatePage Class
+
+ The \c EvaluatePage is slightly more involved:
+
+ \snippet examples/dialogs/licensewizard/licensewizard.h 5
+ \codeline
+ \snippet examples/dialogs/licensewizard/licensewizard.cpp 20
+ \dots
+ \snippet examples/dialogs/licensewizard/licensewizard.cpp 21
+ \dots
+ \snippet examples/dialogs/licensewizard/licensewizard.cpp 22
+
+ First, we set the page's \l{QWizardPage::}{title}
+ and \l{QWizardPage::}{subTitle}.
+
+ Then we create the child widgets, create \l{Registering and Using
+ Fields}{wizard fields} associated with them, and put them into
+ layouts. The fields are created with an asterisk (\c
+ *) next to their name. This makes them \l{mandatory fields}, that
+ is, fields that must be filled before the user can press the
+ \gui Next button (\gui Continue on Mac OS X). The fields' values
+ can be accessed from any other page using QWizardPage::field().
+
+ Resetting the page amounts to clearing the two text fields.
+
+ \snippet examples/dialogs/licensewizard/licensewizard.cpp 23
+
+ The next page is always the \c ConclusionPage.
+
+ \section1 The ConclusionPage Class
+
+ The \c RegisterPage and \c DetailsPage are very similar to \c
+ EvaluatePage. Let's go directly to the \c ConclusionPage:
+
+ \snippet examples/dialogs/licensewizard/licensewizard.h 6
+
+ This time, we reimplement QWizardPage::initializePage() and
+ QWidget::setVisible(), in addition to
+ \l{QWizardPage::}{nextId()}. We also declare a private slot:
+ \c printButtonClicked().
+
+ \snippet examples/dialogs/licensewizard/licensewizard.cpp 18
+
+ The default implementation of QWizardPage::nextId() returns
+ the page with the next ID, or -1 if the current page has the
+ highest ID. This behavior would work here, because \c
+ Page_Conclusion equals 5 and there is no page with a higher ID,
+ but to avoid relying on such subtle behavior, we reimplement
+ \l{QWizardPage::}{nextId()} to return -1.
+
+ \snippet examples/dialogs/licensewizard/licensewizard.cpp 27
+
+ We use QWizard::hasVisitedPage() to determine the type of
+ license agreement the user has chosen. If the user filled the \c
+ EvaluatePage, the license text refers to an Evaluation License
+ Agreement. If the user filled the \c DetailsPage, the license
+ text is a First-Time License Agreement. If the user provided an
+ upgrade key and skipped the \c DetailsPage, the license text is
+ an Update License Agreement.
+
+ \snippet examples/dialogs/licensewizard/licensewizard.cpp 28
+
+ We want to display a \gui Print button in the wizard when the \c
+ ConclusionPage is up. One way to accomplish this is to reimplement
+ QWidget::setVisible():
+
+ \list
+ \o If the page is shown, we set the \l{QWizard::}{CustomButton1} button's
+ text to \gui{\underline{P}rint}, we enable the \l{QWizard::}{HaveCustomButton1}
+ option, and we connect the QWizard's \l{QWizard::}{customButtonClicked()}
+ signal to our \c printButtonClicked() slot.
+ \o If the page is hidden, we disable the \l{QWizard::}{HaveCustomButton1}
+ option and disconnect the \c printButtonClicked() slot.
+ \endlist
