- \title Wheel Scroller Example
-
- The Wheel Scroller Example shows how to use QScroller, QScrollEvent
- and QScrollPrepareEvent to implement smooth scrolling for a
- custom Widget.
-
- \section1 Basics
-
- The QScroller class is the main part of the smooth scrolling
- mechanism in Qt. It keeps track of the current scroll position and
- speed and updates the object through events.
- QScroller will get touch events via the QFlickGesture.
- It will query the target object through a QScrollPrepareEvent for
- the scroll area and other information.
- QScroller will send QScrollEvents to inform the target object about
- the current scroll position.
- The target object (usually a QWidget or a QGraphicsObject) will
- then need to update it's graphical representation to reflect the
- new scroll position.
-
- \section1 The Wheel Widget class
-
- To demonstrate how to use the QScroller we implement a QWidget that
- looks and works like the wheel of a slot machine.
- The wheel can be started via touch events and will continue getting
- slower.
- Additionally the wheel should appear as if no border exists (which
- would seem unnatural) and the scrolling should snap to center one
- item.
-
- In the widget we need to grab the QFlickGesture. The gesture itself
- will setAcceptTouchEvents for us, so we don't need to do that here.
-
- \snippet examples/scroller/wheel/wheelwidget.cpp 0
-
- The widget will get gesture events but in addition we also will
- get the events from QScroller.
- We will need to accept the QScrollPrepareEvent to indicate that
- a scrolling should really be started from the given position.
-
- \snippet examples/scroller/wheel/wheelwidget.cpp 1
-
- We should call all three set functions form QScrollPrepareEvent.
-
- \list
- \o \c setViewportSize to indicate our viewport size. Actually the
- given code could be improved by giving our size minus the borders.
- \o \c setMaxContentPos to indicate the maximum values for the scroll
- position. The minimum values are implicitely set to 0.
- In our example we give a very high number here and hope that the user
- is not patient enough to scroll until the very end.
- \o \c setContentPos to indicate the current scroll position.
- We give a position in the middle of the huge scroll area.
- Actually we give this position every time a new scroll is started so
- the user will only reach the end if he continuously scrolls in one
- direction which is not very likely.
- \endlist
-
- The handling of the QScrollEvent is a lengthly code not fully shown here.
- \snippet examples/scroller/wheel/wheelwidget.cpp 2
-
- In principle it does three steps.
- \list
- \o It calculates and updates the current scroll position as given by
- QScroller.
- \o It repaints the widget so that the new position is shown.
- \o It centers the item as soon as the scrolling stopps.
- \endlist
-
- The following code does the centering.
- \snippet examples/scroller/wheel/wheelwidget.cpp 3
-
- We check if the scrolling is finished which is indicated in the
- QScrollEvent by the \c isLast flag.
- We then check if the item is not already centered and if not start a new
- scroll by calling QScroller::scrollTo.
-
- As you can see the QScroller can be used for other things besides simple
- scroll areas.
