A click on the 'Validate' button will + validate the content of the XML instance editor against the schema from the + XML schema viewer. As you can modify the content of the instance editor, different + instances can be tested and validation error messages analysed. + + \section1 Code Walk-Through + + The example's main() function creates the standard instance of + QApplication. Then it creates an instance of the mainwindow class, shows it, + and starts the Qt event loop: + + \snippet examples/xmlpatterns/schema/main.cpp 0 + + \section2 The UI Class: MainWindow + + The example's UI is a conventional Qt GUI application inheriting + QMainWindow and the class generated by \l{Qt Designer Manual} {Qt + Designer}: + + \snippet examples/xmlpatterns/schema/mainwindow.h 0 + + The constructor fills the schema and instance \l{QComboBox} selections with the predefined + schemas and instances and connects their \l{QComboBox::currentIndexChanged()} {currentIndexChanged()} + signals to the window's \c{schemaSelected()} resp. \c{instanceSelected()} slot. + Furthermore the signal-slot connections for the validation \l{QPushButton} {button} + and the instance \l{QTextEdit} {editor} are set up. + + The call to \c{schemaSelected(0)} and \c{instanceSelected(0)} will trigger the validation + of the initial Contact Schema example. + + \snippet examples/xmlpatterns/schema/mainwindow.cpp 0 + + In the \c{schemaSelected()} slot the content of the instance \l{QComboBox} {selection} + is adapted to the selected schema and the corresponding schema is loaded from the + \l{The Qt Resource System} {resource file} and displayed in the schema \l{QTextBrowser} {viewer}. + At the end of the method a revalidation is triggered. + + \snippet examples/xmlpatterns/schema/mainwindow.cpp 1 + + In the \c{instanceSelected()} slot the selected instance is loaded from the + \l{The Qt Resource System} {resource file} and loaded into the instance \l{QTextEdit} {editor} + an the revalidation is triggered again. + + \snippet examples/xmlpatterns/schema/mainwindow.cpp 2 + + The \c{validate()} slot does the actual work in this example. + At first it stores the content of the schema \l{QTextBrowser} {viewer} and the + \l{QTextEdit} {editor} into temporary \l{QByteArray} {variables}. + Then it instanciates a \c{MessageHandler} object which inherits from + \l{QAbstractMessageHandler} {QAbstractMessageHandler} and is a convenience + class to store error messages from the XmlPatterns system. + + \snippet examples/xmlpatterns/schema/mainwindow.cpp 4 + + After the \l{QXmlSchema} {QXmlSchema} is instanciated and the message handler set + on it, the \l{QXmlSchema::load()} {load()} method is called with the schema data as argument. + If the schema is invalid or a parsing error has occured, \l{QXmlSchema::isValid()} {isValid()} + returns \c{false} and the error is flagged in \c{errorOccurred}. + If the loading was successful, a \l{QXmlSchemaValidator} {QXmlSchemaValidator} is + instanciated and the schema passed in the constructor. + A call to \l{QXmlSchemaValidator::validate()} {validate()} will validate the passed + XML instance data against the XML schema. The return value of that method signals + whether the validation was successful. + Depending on the success the status \l{QLabel} {label} is set to 'validation successful' + or the error message stored in the \c{MessageHandler} + + The rest of the code does only some fancy coloring and eyecandy. + + \snippet examples/xmlpatterns/schema/mainwindow.cpp 3 +*/ |
