Data + is extracted from a \c DetailsDialog object and displayed on a QTextEdit + with a QTextCursor, using various formats. Each form generated is added + to a QTabWidget for easy access. + + \image orderform-example.png + + \section1 DetailsDialog Definition + + The \c DetailsDialog class is a subclass of QDialog, implementing a slot + \c verify() to allow contents of the \c DetailsDialog to be verified later. + This is further explained in \c DetailsDialog Implementation. + + \snippet examples/richtext/orderform/detailsdialog.h 0 + + The constructor of \c DetailsDialog accepts parameters \a title and + \a parent. The class defines four \e{getter} functions: \c orderItems(), + \c senderName(), \c senderAddress(), and \c sendOffers() to allow data + to be accessed externally. + + The class definition includes input widgets for the required + fields, \c nameEdit and \c addressEdit. Also, a QCheckBox and a + QDialogButtonBox are defined; the former to provide the user with the + option to receive information on products and offers, and the latter + to ensure that buttons used are arranged according to the user's native + platform. In addition, a QTableWidget, \c itemsTable, is used to hold + order details. + + The screenshot below shows the \c DetailsDialog we intend to create. + + \image orderform-example-detailsdialog.png + + \section1 DetailsDialog Implementation + + The constructor of \c DetailsDialog instantiates the earlier defined fields + and their respective labels. The label for \c offersCheckBox is set and the + \c setupItemsTable() function is invoked to setup and populate + \c itemsTable. The QDialogButtonBox object, \c buttonBox, is instantiated + with \gui OK and \gui Cancel buttons. This \c buttonBox's \c accepted() and + \c rejected() signals are connected to the \c verify() and \c reject() + slots in \c DetailsDialog. + + \snippet examples/richtext/orderform/detailsdialog.cpp 0 + + A QGridLayout is used to place all the objects on the \c DetailsDialog. + + \snippet examples/richtext/orderform/detailsdialog.cpp 1 + + The \c setupItemsTable() function instantiates the QTableWidget object, + \c itemsTable, and sets the number of rows based on the QStringList + object, \c items, which holds the type of items ordered. The number of + columns is set to 2, providing a "name" and "quantity" layout. A \c for + loop is used to populate the \c itemsTable and the \c name item's flag + is set to Qt::ItemIsEnabled or Qt::ItemIsSelectable. For demonstration + purposes, the \c quantity item is set to a 1 and all items in the + \c itemsTable have this value for quantity; but this can be modified by + editing the contents of the cells at run time. + + \snippet examples/richtext/orderform/detailsdialog.cpp 2 + + The \c orderItems() function extracts data from the \c itemsTable and + returns it in the form of a QList<QPair<QString,int>> where each QPair + corresponds to an item and the quantity ordered. + + \snippet examples/richtext/orderform/detailsdialog.cpp 3 + + The \c senderName() function is used to return the value of the QLineEdit + used to store the name field for the order form. + + \snippet examples/richtext/orderform/detailsdialog.cpp 4 + + The \c senderAddress() function is used to return the value of the + QTextEdit containing the address for the order form. + + \snippet examples/richtext/orderform/detailsdialog.cpp 5 + + The \c sendOffers() function is used to return a \c true or \c false + value that is used to determine if the customer in the order form + wishes to receive more information on the company's offers and promotions. + + \snippet examples/richtext/orderform/detailsdialog.cpp 6 + + The \c verify() function is an additionally implemented slot used to + verify the details entered by the user into the \c DetailsDialog. If + the details entered are incomplete, a QMessageBox is displayed + providing the user the option to discard the \c DetailsDialog. Otherwise, + the details are accepted and the \c accept() function is invoked. + + \snippet examples/richtext/orderform/detailsdialog.cpp 7 + + \section1 MainWindow Definition + + The \c MainWindow class is a subclass of QMainWindow, implementing two + slots - \c openDialog() and \c printFile(). It also contains a private + instance of QTabWidget, \c letters. + + \snippet examples/richtext/orderform/mainwindow.h 0 + + \section1 MainWindow Implementation + + The \c MainWindow constructor sets up the \c fileMenu and the required + actions, \c newAction and \c printAction. These actions' \c triggered() + signals are connected to the additionally implemented openDialog() slot + and the default close() slot. The QTabWidget, \c letters, is + instantiated and set as the window's central widget. + + \snippet examples/richtext/orderform/mainwindow.cpp 0 + + The \c createLetter() function creates a new QTabWidget with a QTextEdit, + \c editor, as the parent. This function accepts four parameters that + correspond to we obtained through \c DetailsDialog, in order to "fill" + the \c editor. + + \snippet examples/richtext/orderform/mainwindow.cpp 1 + + We then obtain the cursor for the \c editor using QTextEdit::textCursor(). + The \c cursor is then moved to the start of the document using + QTextCursor::Start. + + \snippet examples/richtext/orderform/mainwindow.cpp 2 + + Recall the structure of a \l{Rich Text Document Structure} + {Rich Text Document}, where sequences of frames and + tables are always separated by text blocks, some of which may contain no + information. + + In the case of the Order Form Example, the document structure for this portion + is described by the table below: + + \table + \row + \o {1, 8} frame with \e{referenceFrameFormat} + \row + \o block \o \c{A company} + \row + \o block + \row + \o block \o \c{321 City Street} + \row + \o block + \row + \o block \o \c{Industry Park} + \row + \o block + \row + \o block \o \c{Another country} + \endtable + + This is accomplished with the following code: + + \snippet examples/richtext/orderform/mainwindow.cpp 3 + + Note that \c topFrame is the \c {editor}'s top-level frame and is not shown + in the document structure. + + We then set the \c{cursor}'s position back to its last position in + \c topFrame and fill in the customer's name (provided by the constructor) + and address - using a \c foreach loop to traverse the QString, \c address. + + \snippet examples/richtext/orderform/mainwindow.cpp 4 + + The \c cursor is now back in \c topFrame and the document structure for + the above portion of code is: + + \table + \row + \o block \o \c{Donald} + \row + \o block \o \c{47338 Park Avenue} + \row + \o block \o \c{Big City} + \endtable + + For spacing purposes, we invoke \l{QTextCursor::insertBlock()} + {insertBlock()} twice. The \l{QDate::currentDate()}{currentDate()} is + obtained and displayed. We use \l{QTextFrameFormat::setWidth()} + {setWidth()} to increase the width of \c bodyFrameFormat and we insert + a new frame with that width. + + \snippet examples/richtext/orderform/mainwindow.cpp 5 + + The following code inserts standard text into the order form. + + \snippet examples/richtext/orderform/mainwindow.cpp 6 + \snippet examples/richtext/orderform/mainwindow.cpp 7 + + This part of the document structure now contains the date, a frame with + \c bodyFrameFormat, as well as the standard text. + + \table + \row + \o block + \row + \o block + \row + \o block \o \c{Date: 25 May 2007} + \row + \o block + \row + \o {1, 4} frame with \e{bodyFrameFormat} + \row + \o block \o \c{I would like to place an order for the following items:} + \row + \o block + \row + \o block + \endtable + + A QTextTableFormat object, \c orderTableFormat, is used to hold the type + of item and the quantity ordered. + + \snippet examples/richtext/orderform/mainwindow.cpp 8 + + We use \l{QTextTable::cellAt()}{cellAt()} to set the headers for the + \c orderTable. + + \snippet examples/richtext/orderform/mainwindow.cpp 9 + + Then, we iterate through the QList of QPair objects to populate + \c orderTable. + + \snippet examples/richtext/orderform/mainwindow.cpp 10 + + The resulting document structure for this section is: + + \table + \row + \o {1, 11} \c{orderTable} with \e{orderTableFormat} + \row + \o block \o \c{Product} + \row + \o block \o \c{Quantity} + \row + \o block \o \c{T-shirt} + \row + \o block \o \c{4} + \row + \o block \o \c{Badge} + \row + \o block \o \c{3} + \row + \o block \o \c{Reference book} + \row + \o block \o \c{2} + \row + \o block \o \c{Coffee cup} + \row + \o block \o \c{5} + \endtable + + The \c cursor is then moved back to \c{topFrame}'s + \l{QTextFrame::lastPosition()}{lastPosition()} and more standard text + is inserted. + + \snippet examples/richtext/orderform/mainwindow.cpp 11 + \snippet examples/richtext/orderform/mainwindow.cpp 12 + + Another QTextTable is inserted, to display the customer's + preference regarding offers. + + \snippet examples/richtext/orderform/mainwindow.cpp 13 + + The document structure for this portion is: + + \table + \row + \o block + \row + \o block\o \c{Please update my...} + \row + \o {1, 5} block + \row + \o {1, 4} \c{offersTable} + \row + \o block \o \c{I want to receive...} + \row + \o block \o \c{I do not want to recieve...} + \row + \o block \o \c{X} + \endtable + + The \c cursor is moved to insert "Sincerely" along with the customer's + name. More blocks are inserted for spacing purposes. The \c printAction + is enabled to indicate that an order form can now be printed. + + \snippet examples/richtext/orderform/mainwindow.cpp 14 + + The bottom portion of the document structure is: + + \table + \row + \o block + \row + \o {1, 5} block\o \c{Sincerely,} + \row + \o block + \row + \o block + \row + \o block + \row + \o block \o \c{Donald} + \endtable + + The \c createSample() function is used for illustration purposes, to create + a sample order form. + + \snippet examples/richtext/orderform/mainwindow.cpp 15 + + The \c openDialog() function opens a \c DetailsDialog object. If the + details in \c dialog are accepted, the \c createLetter() function is + invoked using the parameters extracted from \c dialog. + + \snippet examples/richtext/orderform/mainwindow.cpp 16 + + In order to print out the order form, a \c printFile() function is + included, as shown below: + + \snippet examples/richtext/orderform/mainwindow.cpp 17 + + This function also allows the user to print a selected area with + QTextCursor::hasSelection(), instead of printing the entire document. + + \section1 \c main() Function + + The \c main() function instantiates \c MainWindow and sets its size to + 640x480 pixels before invoking the \c show() function and + \c createSample() function. + + \snippet examples/richtext/orderform/main.cpp 0 + +*/ |
