+ \page focus.html
+ \title Keyboard Focus
+ \brief Keyboard focus management and handling.
+ \ingroup frameworks-technologies
+
+ \keyword keyboard focus
+
+ Qt's widgets handle keyboard focus in the ways that have become
+ customary in GUIs.
+
+ The basic issue is that the user's key strokes can be directed at any
+ of several windows on the screen, and any of several widgets inside
+ the intended window. When the user presses a key, they expect it to go
+ to the right place, and the software must try to meet this
+ expectation. The system must determine which application the key stroke
+ is directed at, which window within that application, and which widget
+ within that window.
+
+ \section1 Focus Motion
+
+ The customs which have evolved for directing keyboard focus to a
+ particular widget are these:
+
+ \list 1
+
+ \o The user presses \key Tab (or \key Shift+Tab).
+ \o The user clicks a widget.
+ \o The user presses a keyboard shortcut.
+ \o The user uses the mouse wheel.
+ \o The user moves the focus to a window, and the application must
+ determine which widget within the window should get the focus.
+ \endlist
+
+ Each of these motion mechanisms is different, and different types of
+ widgets receive focus in only some of them. We'll cover each of them
+ in turn.
+
+ \section2 Tab or Shift+Tab
+
+ Pressing \key Tab is by far the most common way to move focus
+ using the keyboard. (Sometimes in data-entry applications Enter
+ does the same as \key{Tab}; this can easily be achieved in Qt by
+ implementing an \l{Events and Event Filters}{event filter}.)
+
+ Pressing \key Tab, in all window systems in common use today,
+ moves the keyboard focus to the next widget in a circular
+ per-window list. \key Tab moves focus along the circular list in
+ one direction, \key Shift+Tab in the other. The order in which
+ \key Tab presses move from widget to widget is called the tab order.
+
+ You can customize the tab order using QWidget::setTabOrder(). (If
+ you don't, \key Tab generally moves focus in the order of widget
+ construction.) \l{Qt Designer} provides a means of visually
+ changing the tab order.
+
+ Since pressing \key Tab is so common, most widgets that can have focus
+ should support tab focus. The major exception is widgets that are
+ rarely used, and where there is some keyboard accelerator or error
+ handler that moves the focus.
+
+ For example, in a data entry dialog, there might be a field that
+ is only necessary in one per cent of all cases. In such a dialog,
+ \key Tab could skip this field, and the dialog could use one of
+ these mechanisms:
+
+ \list 1
+
+ \o If the program can determine whether the field is needed, it can
+ move focus there when the user finishes entry and presses \gui OK, or when
+ the user presses Enter after finishing the other fields. Alternately,
+ include the field in the tab order but disable it. Enable it if it
+ becomes appropriate in view of what the user has set in the other
+ fields.
+
+ \o The label for the field can include a keyboard shortcut that moves
+ focus to this field.
+
+ \endlist
+
+ Another exception to \key Tab support is text-entry widgets that
+ must support the insertion of tabs; almost all text editors fall
+ into this class. Qt treats \key Ctrl+Tab as \key Tab and \key
+ Ctrl+Shift+Tab as \key Shift+Tab, and such widgets can
+ reimplement QWidget::event() and handle Tab before calling
+ QWidget::event() to get normal processing of all other keys.
+ However, since some systems use \key Ctrl+Tab for other purposes,
+ and many users aren't aware of \key Ctrl+Tab anyway, this isn't a
+ complete solution.
+
+ \section2 The User Clicks a Widget
+
+ This is perhaps even more common than pressing \key Tab on
+ computers with a mouse or other pointing device.
+
+ Clicking to move the focus is slightly more powerful than \key
+ Tab. While it moves the focus \e to a widget, for editor widgets
+ it also moves the text cursor (the widget's internal focus) to
+ the spot where the mouse is clicked.
+
+ Since it is so common and people are used to it, it's a good idea to
+ support it for most widgets. However, there is also an important
+ reason to avoid it: you may not want to remove focus from the widget
+ where it was.
+
+ For example, in a word processor, when the user clicks the 'B' (bold)
+ tool button, what should happen to the keyboard focus? Should it
+ remain where it was, almost certainly in the editing widget, or should
+ it move to the 'B' button?
+
+ We advise supporting click-to-focus for widgets that support text
+ entry, and to avoid it for most widgets where a mouse click has a
+ different effect. (For buttons, we also recommend adding a keyboard
+ shortcut: QAbstractButton and its subclasses make this very easy.)
+
+ In Qt, only the QWidget::setFocusPolicy() function affects
+ click-to-focus.
+
+ \section2 The User Presses a Keyboard Shortcut
+
+ It's not unusual for keyboard shortcuts to move the focus. This
+ can happen implicitly by opening modal dialogs, but also
+ explicitly using focus accelerators such as those provided by
+ QLabel::setBuddy(), QGroupBox, and QTabBar.
+
+ We advise supporting shortcut focus for all widgets that the user
+ may want to jump to. For example, a tab dialog can have keyboard
+ shortcuts for each of its pages, so the user can press e.g. \key
+ Alt+P to step to the \underline{P}rinting page. It is easy to
+ overdo this: there are only a few keys, and it's also important
+ to provide keyboard shortcuts for commands. \key Alt+P is also
+ used for Paste, Play, Print, and Print Here in the \l{Standard
+ Accelerator Keys} list, for example.
+
+ \section2 The User Rotates the Mouse Wheel
+
+ On Microsoft Windows, mouse wheel usage is always handled by the
+ widget that has keyboard focus. On Mac OS X and X11, it's handled by
+ the widget that gets other mouse events.
+
+ The way Qt handles this platform difference is by letting widgets move
+ the keyboard focus when the wheel is used. With the right focus policy
+ on each widget, applications can work idiomatically correctly on
+ Windows, Mac OS X, and X11.
+
+ \section2 The User Moves the Focus to This Window
+
+ In this situation the application must determine which widget within
+ the window should receive the focus.
+
+ This can be simple: If the focus has been in this window before,
+ then the last widget to have focus should regain it. Qt does this
+ automatically.
+
+ If focus has never been in this window before and you know where
+ focus should start out, call QWidget::setFocus() on the widget
+ which should receive focus before you call QWidget::show() it. If
+ you don't, Qt will pick a suitable widget.

+ \brief A tour of the standard layout managers and an introduction to custom
+ layouts.
+

+ \nextpage {Implementing Styles and Style Aware Widgets}{Styles}
+
+ \ingroup frameworks-technologies
+
+ The Qt layout system provides a simple and powerful way of automatically
+ arranging child widgets within a widget to ensure that they make good use
+ of the available space.
+
+ \tableofcontents
+
+ \section1 Introduction
+
+ Qt includes a set of layout management classes that are used to describe
+ how widgets are laid out in an application's user interface. These layouts
+ automatically position and resize widgets when the amount of space
+ available for them changes, ensuring that they are consistently arranged
+ and that the user interface as a whole remains usable.
+
+ All QWidget subclasses can use layouts to manage their children. The
+ QWidget::setLayout() function applies a layout to a widget. When a layout
+ is set on a widget in this way, it takes charge of the following tasks:
+
+ \list
+ \o Positioning of child widgets.
+ \o Sensible default sizes for windows.
+ \o Sensible minimum sizes for windows.
+ \o Resize handling.
+ \o Automatic updates when contents change:
+ \list
+ \o Font size, text or other contents of child widgets.
+ \o Hiding or showing a child widget.
+ \o Removal of child widgets.
+ \endlist
+ \endlist
+
+ \section1 Qt's Layout Classes
+
+ Qt's layout classes were designed for hand-written C++ code, allowing
+ measurements to be specified in pixels for simplicity, so they are easy to
+ understand and use. The code generated for forms created using \QD also
+ uses the layout classes. \QD is useful to use when experimenting with the
+ design of a form since it avoids the compile, link and run cycle usually
+ involved in user interface development.
+
+ \annotatedlist geomanagement
+
+ \section1 Horizontal, Vertical, Grid, and Form Layouts
+
+ The easiest way to give your widgets a good layout is to use the built-in
+ layout managers: QHBoxLayout, QVBoxLayout, QGridLayout, and QFormLayout.
+ These classes inherit from QLayout, which in turn derives from QObject (not
+ QWidget). They take care of geometry management for a set of widgets. To
+ create more complex layouts, you can nest layout managers inside each other.
+
+ \list
+ \o A QHBoxLayout lays out widgets in a horizontal row, from left to
+ right (or right to left for right-to-left languages).
+ \image qhboxlayout-with-5-children.png
+
+ \o A QVBoxLayout lays out widgets in a vertical column, from top to
+ bottom.
+ \image qvboxlayout-with-5-children.png
+
+ \o A QGridLayout lays out widgets in a two-dimensional grid. Widgets
+ can occupy multiple cells.
+ \image qgridlayout-with-5-children.png
+
+ \o A QFormLayout lays out widgets in a 2-column descriptive label-
+ field style.
+ \image qformlayout-with-6-children.png
+ \endlist
+
+
+ \section2 Laying Out Widgets in Code
+
+ The following code creates a QHBoxLayout that manages the geometry of five
+ \l{QPushButton}s, as shown on the first screenshot above:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/layouts/layouts.cpp 0
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/layouts/layouts.cpp 1
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/layouts/layouts.cpp 2
+ \codeline
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/layouts/layouts.cpp 3
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/layouts/layouts.cpp 4
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/layouts/layouts.cpp 5
+
+ The code for QVBoxLayout is identical, except the line where the layout is
+ created. The code for QGridLayout is a bit different, because we need to
+ specify the row and column position of the child widget:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/layouts/layouts.cpp 12
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/layouts/layouts.cpp 13
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/layouts/layouts.cpp 14
+ \codeline
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/layouts/layouts.cpp 15
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/layouts/layouts.cpp 16
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/layouts/layouts.cpp 17
+
+ The third QPushButton spans 2 columns. This is possible by specifying 2 as
+ the fifth argument to QGridLayout::addWidget().
+
+ Finally, the code for QFormLayout is ..
+
+
+ \section2 Tips for Using Layouts
+
+ When you use a layout, you do not need to pass a parent when constructing
+ the child widgets. The layout will automatically reparent the widgets
+ (using QWidget::setParent()) so that they are children of the widget on
+ which the layout is installed.
+
+ \note Widgets in a layout are children of the widget on which the layout
+ is installed, \e not of the layout itself. Widgets can only have other
+ widgets as parent, not layouts.
+
+ You can nest layouts using \c addLayout() on a layout; the inner layout
+ then becomes a child of the layout it is inserted into.
+
+
+ \section1 Adding Widgets to a Layout
+
+ When you add widgets to a layout, the layout process works as follows:
+
+ \list 1
+ \o All the widgets will initially be allocated an amount of space in
+ accordance with their QWidget::sizePolicy() and
+ QWidget::sizeHint().
+
+ \o If any of the widgets have stretch factors set, with a value
+ greater than zero, then they are allocated space in proportion to
+ their stretch factor (explained below).
+
+ \o If any of the widgets have stretch factors set to zero they will
+ only get more space if no other widgets want the space. Of these,
+ space is allocated to widgets with an
+ \l{QSizePolicy::Expanding}{Expanding} size policy first.
+
+ \o Any widgets that are allocated less space than their minimum size
+ (or minimum size hint if no minimum size is specified) are
+ allocated this minimum size they require. (Widgets don't have to
+ have a minimum size or minimum size hint in which case the strech
+ factor is their determining factor.)
+
+ \o Any widgets that are allocated more space than their maximum size
+ are allocated the maximum size space they require. (Widgets do not
+ have to have a maximum size in which case the strech factor is
+ their determining factor.)
+ \endlist
+
+
+ \section2 Stretch Factors
+ \keyword stretch factor
+
+ Widgets are normally created without any stretch factor set. When they are
+ laid out in a layout the widgets are given a share of space in accordance
+ with their QWidget::sizePolicy() or their minimum size hint whichever is
+ the greater. Stretch factors are used to change how much space widgets are
+ given in proportion to one another.
+
+ If we have three widgets laid out using a QHBoxLayout with no stretch
+ factors set we will get a layout like this:
+
+ \img layout1.png Three widgets in a row
+
+ If we apply stretch factors to each widget, they will be laid out in
+ proportion (but never less than their minimum size hint), e.g.
+
+ \img layout2.png Three widgets with different stretch factors in a row
+
+
+ \section1 Custom Widgets in Layouts
+
+ When you make your own widget class, you should also communicate its layout
+ properties. If the widget has a one of Qt's layouts, this is already taken
+ care of. If the widget does not have any child widgets, or uses manual
+ layout, you can change the behavior of the widget using any or all of the
+ following mechanisms:
+
+ \list
+ \o Reimplement QWidget::sizeHint() to return the preferred size of the
+ widget.
+ \o Reimplement QWidget::minimumSizeHint() to return the smallest size
+ the widget can have.
+ \o Call QWidget::setSizePolicy() to specify the space requirements of
+ the widget.
+ \endlist
+
+ Call QWidget::updateGeometry() whenever the size hint, minimum size hint or
+ size policy changes. This will cause a layout recalculation. Multiple
+ consecutive calls to QWidget::updateGeometry() will only cause one layout
+ recalculation.
+
+ If the preferred height of your widget depends on its actual width (e.g.,
+ a label with automatic word-breaking), set the
+ \l{QSizePolicy::hasHeightForWidth()}{height-for-width} flag in the
+ widget's \l{QWidget::sizePolicy}{size policy} and reimplement
+ QWidget::heightForWidth().
+
+ Even if you implement QWidget::heightForWidth(), it is still a good idea to
+ provide a reasonable sizeHint().
+
+ For further guidance when implementing these functions, see the
+ \e{Qt Quarterly} article
+ \l{http://qt.nokia.com/doc/qq/qq04-height-for-width.html}
+ {Trading Height for Width}.
+
+
+ \section1 Layout Issues
+
+ The use of rich text in a label widget can introduce some problems to the
+ layout of its parent widget. Problems occur due to the way rich text is
+ handled by Qt's layout managers when the label is word wrapped.
+
+ In certain cases the parent layout is put into QLayout::FreeResize mode,
+ meaning that it will not adapt the layout of its contents to fit inside
+ small sized windows, or even prevent the user from making the window too
+ small to be usable. This can be overcome by subclassing the problematic
+ widgets, and implementing suitable \l{QWidget::}{sizeHint()} and
+ \l{QWidget::}{minimumSizeHint()} functions.
+
+ In some cases, it is relevant when a layout is added to a widget. When
+ you set the widget of a QDockWidget or a QScrollArea (with
+ QDockWidget::setWidget() and QScrollArea::setWidget()), the layout must
+ already have been set on the widget. If not, the widget will not be
+ visible.
+
+
+ \section1 Manual Layout
+
+ If you are making a one-of-a-kind special layout, you can also make a
+ custom widget as described above. Reimplement QWidget::resizeEvent() to
+ calculate the required distribution of sizes and call
+ \l{QWidget::}{setGeometry()} on each child.
+
+ The widget will get an event of type QEvent::LayoutRequest when the
+ layout needs to be recalculated. Reimplement QWidget::event() to handle
+ QEvent::LayoutRequest events.
+
+
+ \section1 How to Write A Custom Layout Manager
+
+ An alternative to manual layout is to write your own layout manager by
+ subclassing QLayout. The \l{layouts/borderlayout}{Border Layout} and
+ \l{layouts/flowlayout}{Flow Layout} examples show how to do this.
+
+ Here we present an example in detail. The \c CardLayout class is inspired
+ by the Java layout manager of the same name. It lays out the items (widgets
+ or nested layouts) on top of each other, each item offset by
+ QLayout::spacing().
+
+ To write your own layout class, you must define the following:
+ \list
+ \o A data structure to store the items handled by the layout. Each
+ item is a \link QLayoutItem QLayoutItem\endlink. We will use a
+ QList in this example.
+ \o \l{QLayout::}{addItem()}, how to add items to the layout.
+ \o \l{QLayout::}{setGeometry()}, how to perform the layout.
+ \o \l{QLayout::}{sizeHint()}, the preferred size of the layout.
+ \o \l{QLayout::}{itemAt()}, how to iterate over the layout.
+ \o \l{QLayout::}{takeAt()}, how to remove items from the layout.
+ \endlist
+
+ In most cases, you will also implement \l{QLayout::}{minimumSize()}.
+
+
+ \section2 The Header File (\c card.h)
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_layout.qdoc 0
+
+
+ \section2 The Implementation File (\c card.cpp)
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_layout.qdoc 1
+
+ First we define \c{count()} to fetch the number of items in the list.
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_layout.qdoc 2
+
+ Then we define two functions that iterate over the layout: \c{itemAt()}
+ and \c{takeAt()}. These functions are used internally by the layout system
+ to handle deletion of widgets. They are also available for application
+ programmers.
+
+ \c{itemAt()} returns the item at the given index. \c{takeAt()} removes the
+ item at the given index, and returns it. In this case we use the list index
+ as the layout index. In other cases where we have a more complex data
+ structure, we may have to spend more effort defining a linear order for the
+ items.
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_layout.qdoc 3
+
+ \c{addItem()} implements the default placement strategy for layout items.
+ This function must be implemented. It is used by QLayout::add(), by the
+ QLayout constructor that takes a layout as parent. If your layout has
+ advanced placement options that require parameters, you must provide extra
+ access functions such as the row and column spanning overloads of
+ QGridLayout::addItem(), QGridLayout::addWidget(), and
+ QGridLayout::addLayout().
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_layout.qdoc 4
+
+ The layout takes over responsibility of the items added. Since QLayoutItem
+ does not inherit QObject, we must delete the items manually. In the
+ destructor, we remove each item from the list using \c{takeAt()}, and
+ then delete it.
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_layout.qdoc 5
+
+ The \c{setGeometry()} function actually performs the layout. The rectangle
+ supplied as an argument does not include \c{margin()}. If relevant, use
+ \c{spacing()} as the distance between items.
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_layout.qdoc 6
+
+ \c{sizeHint()} and \c{minimumSize()} are normally very similar in
+ implementation. The sizes returned by both functions should include
+ \c{spacing()}, but not \c{margin()}.
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_layout.qdoc 7
+
+
+ \section2 Further Notes
+
+ \list
+ \o This custom layout does not handle height for width.
+ \o We ignore QLayoutItem::isEmpty(); this means that the layout will
+ treat hidden widgets as visible.
+ \o For complex layouts, speed can be greatly increased by caching
+ calculated values. In that case, implement
+ QLayoutItem::invalidate() to mark the cached data is dirty.
+ \o Calling QLayoutItem::sizeHint(), etc. may be expensive. So, you
+ should store the value in a local variable if you need it again
+ later within in the same function.
+ \o You should not call QLayoutItem::setGeometry() twice on the same
+ item in the same function. This call can be very expensive if the
+ item has several child widgets, because the layout manager must do
+ a complete layout every time. Instead, calculate the geometry and
+ then set it. (This does not only apply to layouts, you should do
+ the same if you implement your own resizeEvent(), for example.)

+
+ Styles (classes that inherit QStyle) draw on behalf of widgets
+ and encapsulate the look and feel of a GUI. The QStyle class is
+ an abstract base class that encapsulates the look and feel of a
+ GUI. Qt's built-in widgets use it to perform nearly all of their
+ drawing, ensuring that they look exactly like the equivalent
+ native widgets.
+
+ Several styles are built into Qt (e.g., windows style and motif style).
+ Other styles are only available on specific platforms (such as
+ the windows XP style). Custom styles are made available as plugins
+ or by creating an instance of the style class in an application and
+ setting it with QApplication::setStyle().
+
+ To implement a new style, you inherit one of Qt's existing styles
+ - the one most resembling the style you want to create - and
+ reimplement a few virtual functions. This process is somewhat
+ involved, and we therefore provide this overview. We give a
+ step-by-step walkthrough of how to style individual Qt widgets.
+ We will examine the QStyle virtual functions, member variables,
+ and enumerations.
+
+ The part of this document that does not concern the styling of
+ individual widgets is meant to be read sequentially because later
+ sections tend to depend on earlier ones. The description of the
+ widgets can be used for reference while implementing a style.
+ However, you may need to consult the Qt source code in some cases.
+ The sequence in the styling process should become clear after
+ reading this document, which will aid you in locating relevant code.
+
+ To develop style aware widgets (i.e., widgets that conform to
+ the style in which they are drawn), you need to draw them using the
+ current style. This document shows how widgets draw themselves
+ and which possibilities the style gives them.
+

+
+ \section1 Classes for Widget Styling
+
+ These classes are used to customize an application's appearance and
+ style.
+
+ \annotatedlist appearance
+
+ \section1 The QStyle implementation
+
+ The API of QStyle contains functions that draw the widgets, static
+ helper functions to do common and difficult tasks (e.g.,
+ calculating the position of slider handles) and functions to do
+ the various calculations necessary while drawing (e.g., for the
+ widgets to calculate their size hints). The style also help some
+ widgets with the layout of their contents. In addition, it creates
+ a QPalette that contains \l{QBrush}es to draw with.
+
+ QStyle draws graphical elements; an element is a widget or a
+ widget part like a push button bevel, a window frame, or a scroll
+ bar. Most draw functions now take four arguments:
+
+ \list
+ \o an enum value specifying which graphical element to draw
+ \o a QStyleOption specifying how and where to render that element
+ \o a QPainter that should be used to draw the element
+ \o a QWidget on which the drawing is performed (optional)
+ \endlist
+
+ When a widget asks a style to draw an element, it provides the style
+ with a QStyleOption, which is a class that contains the information
+ necessary for drawing. Thanks to QStyleOption, it is possible to make
+ QStyle draw widgets without linking in any code for the widget. This
+ makes it possible to use \l{QStyle}'s draw functions on any paint
+ device. Ie you can draw a combobox on any widget, not just on a
+ QComboBox.
+
+ The widget is passed as the last argument in case the style needs
+ it to perform special effects (such as animated default buttons on
+ Mac OS X), but it isn't mandatory.
+
+ We will in the course of this section look at the style elements,
+ the style options, and the functions of QStyle. Finally, we describe
+ how the palette is used.
+
+ Items in item views is drawn by \l{Delegate Classes}{delegates} in
+ Qt. The item view headers are still drawn by the style. Qt's
+ default delegate, QStyledItemDelegate, draws its items partially
+ through the current style; it draws the check box indicators and
+ calculate bounding rectangles for the elements of which the item
+ consists. In this document, we only describe how to implement a
+ QStyle subclass. If you wish to add support for other datatypes
+ than those supported by the QStyledItemDelegate, you need to
+ implement a custom delegate. Note that delegates must be set
+ programmatically for each individual widget (i.e., default
+ delegates cannot be provided as plugins).
+
+ \section2 The Style Elements
+
+ A style element is a graphical part of a GUI. A widget consists
+ of a hierarchy (or tree) of style elements. For instance, when a
+ style receives a request to draw a push button (from QPushButton,
+ for example), it draws a label (text and icon), a button bevel,
+ and a focus frame. The button bevel, in turn, consists of a frame
+ around the bevel and two other elements, which we will look at
+ later. Below is a conceptual illustration of the push button
+ element tree. We will see the actual tree for QPushButton when we
+ go through the individual widgets.
+
+ \image javastyle/conceptualpushbuttontree.png
+
+ Widgets are not necessarily drawn by asking the style to draw
+ only one element. Widgets can make several calls to the style to
+ draw different elements. An example is QTabWidget, which draws its
+ tabs and frame individually.
+
+ There are three element types: primitive elements, control
+ elements, and complex control elements. The elements are defined
+ by the \l{QStyle::}{ComplexControl}, \l{QStyle::}{ControlElement},
+ and \l{QStyle::}{PrimitiveElement} enums. The values of
+ each element enum has a prefix to identify their type: \c{CC_} for
+ complex elements, \c{CE_} for control elements, and \c{PE_} for
+ primitive elements. We will in the following three sections see what
+ defines the different elements and see examples of widgets that use
+ them.
+
+ The QStyle class description contains a list of these elements and
+ their roles in styling widgets. We will see how they are used when
+ we style individual widgets.
+
+ \section3 Primitive Elements
+
+ Primitive elements are GUI elements that are common and often used
+ by several widgets. Examples of these are frames, button bevels,
+ and arrows for spin boxes, scroll bars, and combo boxes.
+ Primitive elements cannot exist on their own: they are always part
+ of a larger construct. They take no part in the interaction with
+ the user, but are passive decorations in the GUI.
+
+ \section3 Control Elements
+
+ A control element performs an action or displays information
+ to the user. Examples of control elements are push buttons, check
+ boxes, and header sections in tables and tree views. Control
+ elements are not necessarily complete widgets such as push
+ buttons, but can also be widget parts such as tab bar tabs and
+ scroll bar sliders. They differ from primitive elements in that
+ they are not passive, but fill a function in the interaction with
+ the user. Controls that consist of several elements often use the
+ style to calculate the bounding rectangles of the elements. The
+ available sub elements are defined by the \l{QStyle::}{SubElement}
+ enum. This enum is only used for calculating bounding rectangles,
+ and sub elements are as such not graphical elements to be drawn
+ like primitive, control, and complex elements.
+
+ \section3 Complex Control Elements
+
+ Complex control elements contain sub controls. Complex controls
+ behave differently depending on where the user handles them with
+ the mouse and which keyboard keys are pressed. This is dependent
+ on which sub control (if any) that the mouse is over or received a
+ mouse press. Examples of complex controls are scroll bars and
+ combo boxes. With a scroll bar, you can use the mouse to move the
+ slider and press the line up and line down buttons. The available
+ sub controls are defined by the \l{QStyle}{SubControl} enum.
+
+ In addition to drawing, the style needs to provide the widgets
+ with information on which sub control (if any) a mouse press was
+ made on. For instance, a QScrollBar needs to know if the user
+ pressed the slider, the slider groove, or one of the buttons.
+
+ Note that sub controls are not the same as the control elements
+ described in the previous section. You cannot use the style to
+ draw a sub control; the style will only calculate the bounding
+ rectangle in which the sub control should be drawn. It is common,
+ though, that complex elements use control and primitive elements
+ to draw their sub controls, which is an approach that is
+ frequently used by the built-in styles in Qt and also the Java
+ style. For instance, the Java style uses PE_IndicatorCheckBox to
+ draw the check box in group boxes (which is a sub control of
+ CC_GroupBox). Some sub controls have an equivalent control element,
+ e.g., the scroll bar slider (SC_SCrollBarSlider and
+ CE_ScrollBarSlider).
+
+ \section3 Other QStyle Tasks
+
+ The style elements and widgets, as mentioned, use the style to
+ calculate bounding rectangles of sub elements and sub controls,
+ and pixel metrics, which is a style dependent size in screen
+ pixels, for measures when drawing. The available rectangles and
+ pixel metrics are represented by three enums in QStyle:
+ \l{QStyle::}{SubElement}, \l{QStyle::}{SubControl}, and
+ \l{QStyle::}{PixelMetric}. Values of the enums can easily by
+ identified as they start with SE_, SC_ and PM_.
+
+ The style also contain a set of style hints, which is
+ represented as values in the \l{QStyle::}{StyleHint} enum. All
+ widgets do not have the same functionality and look in the
+ different styles. For instance, when the menu items in a menu do not
+ fit in a single column on the screen, some styles support
+ scrolling while others draw more than one column to fit all items.
+
+ A style usually has a set of standard images (such as a warning, a
+ question, and an error image) for message boxes, file dialogs,
+ etc. QStyle provides the \l{QStyle::}{StandardPixmap} enum. Its
+ values represent the standard images. Qt's widgets use these, so
+ when you implement a custom style you should supply the images
+ used by the style that is being implemented.
+
+ The style calculates the spacing between widgets in layouts. There
+ are two ways the style can handle these calculations. You can set
+ the PM_LayoutHorizontalSpacing and PM_LayoutVerticalSpacing, which
+ is the way the java style does it (through QCommonStyle).
+ Alternatively, you can implement QStyle::layoutSpacing() and
+ QStyle::layoutSpacingImplementation() if you need more control over
+ this part of the layout. In these functions you can calculate the
+ spacing based on control types (QSizePolicy::ControlType) for
+ different size policies (QSizePolicy::Policy) and also the style
+ option for the widget in question.
+
+ \section2 Style Options
+
+ The sub-classes of QStyleOption contain all information necessary
+ to style the individual elements. Style options are instantiated -
+ usually on the stack - and filled out by the caller of the QStyle
+ function. Depending on what is drawn the style will expect
+ different a different style option class. For example, the
+ QStyle::PE_FrameFocusRect element expects a QStyleOptionFocusRect
+ argument, and it's possible to create custom subclasses that a
+ custom style can use. The style options keep public variables
+ for performance reasons.
+
+ The widgets can be in a number of different states, which are
+ defined by the \l{QStyle::}{State} enum. Some of the state flags have
+ different meanings depending on the widget, but others are common
+ for all widgets like State_Disabled. It is QStyleOption that sets
+ the common states with QStyleOption::initFrom(); the rest of the
+ states are set by the individual widgets.
+
+ Most notably, the style options contain the palette and bounding
+ rectangles of the widgets to be drawn. Most widgets have
+ specialized style options. QPushButton and QCheckBox, for
+ instance, use QStyleOptionButton as style option, which contain
+ the text, icon, and the size of their icon. The exact contents of
+ all options are described when we go through individual widgets.
+
+ When reimplementing QStyle functions that take a
+ QStyleOption parameter, you often need to cast the
+ QStyleOption to a subclass (e.g., QStyleOptionFocusRect). For
+ safety, you can use qstyleoption_cast() to ensure that the
+ pointer type is correct. If the object isn't of the right type,
+ qstyleoption_cast() returns 0. For example:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qt4-styles.qdoc 0
+
+ The following code snippet illustrates how to use QStyle to
+ draw the focus rectangle from a custom widget's paintEvent():
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qt4-styles.qdoc 1
+
+ The next example shows how to derive from an existing style to
+ customize the look of a graphical element:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/customstyle/customstyle.h 0
+ \codeline
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/customstyle/customstyle.cpp 2
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/customstyle/customstyle.cpp 3
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/customstyle/customstyle.cpp 4
+
+ \section2 QStyle Functions
+
+ The QStyle class defines three functions for drawing the primitive,
+ control, and complex elements:
+ \l{QStyle::}{drawPrimitive()},
+ \l{QStyle::}{drawControl()}, and
+ \l{QStyle::}{drawComplexControl()}. The functions takes the
+ following parameters:
+
+ \list
+ \o the enum value of the element to draw
+ \o a QStyleOption which contains the information needed to
+ draw the element.
+ \o a QPainter with which to draw the element.
+ \o a pointer to a QWidget, typically the widget
+ that the element is painted on.
+ \endlist
+
+ Not all widgets send a pointer to themselves. If the style
+ option sent to the function does not contain the information you
+ need, you should check the widget implementation to see if it
+ sends a pointer to itself.
+
+ The QStyle class also provides helper functions that are used
+ when drawing the elements. The \l{QStyle::}{drawItemText()}
+ function draws text within a specified rectangle and taking a
+ QPalette as a parameter. The \l{QStyle::}{drawItemPixmap()}
+ function helps to align a pixmap within a specified bounding
+ rectangle.
+
+ Other QStyle functions do various calculations for the
+ functions that draw. The widgets also use these functions for
+ calculating size hints and also for bounding rectangle
+ calculations if they draw several style elements themselves.
+ As with the functions that draw elements the helper functions
+ typically takes the same arguments.
+
+ \list
+ \o The \l{QStyle::}{subElementRect()} function takes a
+ \l{QStyle::}{SubElement} enum value, and calculates a bounding
+ rectangle for a sub element. The style uses this function to
+ know where to draw the different parts of an element. This is
+ mainly done for reuse. If you create a new style, you can use
+ the same location of sub elements as the super class.
+
+ \o The \l{QStyle::}{subControlRect()} function is used to
+ calculate bounding rectangles for sub controls in complex
+ controls. When you implement a new style, you reimplement \c
+ subControlRect() and calculate the rectangles that are different
+ from the super class.
+
+ \o The \l{QStyle::}{pixelMetric()} function returns a pixel
+ metric, which is a style dependent size given in screen
+ pixels. It takes a value of the \l{QStyle::}{PixelMetric} enum
+ and returns the correct measure. Note that pixel metrics do
+ not necessarily have to be static measures, but can be
+ calculated with, for example, the style option.
+
+ \o The \l{QStyle::}{hitTestComplexControl()} function returns the
+ sub control that the mouse pointer is over in a complex control.
+ Usually, this is simply a matter of using
+ \l{QStyle::}{subControlRect()} to get the bounding rectangles of
+ the sub controls, and see which rectangle contains the position of
+ the cursor.
+ \endlist
+
+ QStyle also have the functions \l{QStyle::}{polish()} and
+ \l{QStyle::}{unpolish()}. All widgets are sent to the \c polish()
+ function before being shown and to \c unpolish() when they
+ are hidden. You can use these functions to set attributes on the
+ widgets or do other work that is required by your style. For
+ instance, if you need to know when the mouse is hovering over the
+ widget, you need to set the \l{Qt::}{WA_Hover} widget attribute.
+ The State_MouseOver state flag will then be set in the widget's
+ style options.
+
+ QStyle has a few static helper functions that do some common and
+ difficult tasks. They can calculate the position of a slider
+ handle from the value of the slider and transform rectangles
+ and draw text considering reverse layouts; see the QStyle
+ class documentation for more details.
+
+ The usual approach when one reimplements QStyle virtual
+ functions is to do work on elements that are different from the
+ super class; for all other elements, you can simply use the super
+ class implementation.
+
+ \section2 The Palette
+
+ Each style provides a color - that is, QBrush - palette that
+ should be used for drawing the widgets. There is one set of colors
+ for the different widget states (QPalette::ColorGroup): active
+ (widgets in the window that has keyboard focus), inactive (widgets
+ used for other windows), and disabled (widgets that are set
+ disabled). The states can be found by querying the State_Active
+ and State_Enabled state flags. Each set contains color certain
+ roles given by the QPalette::ColorRole enum. The roles describe in
+ which situations the colors should be used (e.g., for painting
+ widget backgrounds, text, or buttons).
+
+ How the color roles are used is up to the style. For instance, if
+ the style uses gradients, one can use a palette color and make it
+ darker or lighter with QColor::darker() and QColor::lighter() to
+ create the gradient. In general, if you need a brush that is not
+ provided by the palette, you should try to derive it from one.
+
+ QPalette, which provides the palette, stores colors for
+ different widget states and color roles. The palette for a style
+ is returned by \l{QStyle::}{standardPalette()}. The standard
+ palette is not installed automatically when a new style is set
+ on the application (QApplication::setStyle()) or widget
+ (QWidget::setStyle()), so you must set the palette yourself
+ with (QApplication::setPalette()) or (QWidget::setPalette()).
+
+ It is not recommended to hard code colors as applications and
+ individual widgets can set their own palette and also use the
+ styles palette for drawing. Note that none of Qt's widgets set
+ their own palette. The java style does hard code some colors, but
+ its author looks past this in silence. Of course, it is not
+ intended that the style should look good with any palette.
+
+ \section2 Implementation Issues
+
+ When you implement styles, there are several issues to
+ consider. We will give some hints and advice on implementation
+ here.
+
+ When implementing styles, it is necessary to look through the
+ code of the widgets and code of the base class and its ancestors.
+ This is because the widgets use the style differently, because the
+ implementation in the different styles virtual functions can
+ affect the state of the drawing (e.g., by altering the QPainter
+ state without restoring it and drawing some elements without using
+ the appropriate pixel metrics and sub elements).
+
+ It is recommended that the styles do not alter the proposed size
+ of widgets with the QStyle::sizeFromContents() function but let
+ the QCommonStyle implementation handle it. If changes need to be
+ made, you should try to keep them small; application development
+ may be difficult if the layout of widgets looks considerably
+ different in the various styles.
+
+ We recommend using the QPainter directly for drawing, i.e., not
+ use pixmaps or images. This makes it easier for the style conform
+ to the palette (although you can set your own color table on a
+ QImage with \l{QImage::}{setColorTable()}).
+
+ It is, naturally, possible to draw elements without using the
+ style to draw the sub elements as intended by Qt. This is
+ discouraged as custom widgets may depend on these sub elements to
+ be implemented correctly. The widget walkthrough shows how Qt
+ uses the sub elements.
+
+ \section1 Java Style
+
+ We have implemented a style that resembles the Java default look
+ and feel (previously known as Metal). We have done this as it is
+ relatively simple to implement and we wanted to build a style for
+ this overview document. To keep it simple and not to extensive, we
+ have simplified the style somewhat, but Qt is perfectly able to
+ make an exact copy of the style. However, there are no concrete
+ plans to implement the style as a part of Qt.
+
+ In this section we will have a look at some implementation
+ issues. Finally, we will see a complete example on the styling of
+ a Java widget. We will continue to use the java style
+ throughout the document for examples and widget images. The
+ implementation itself is somewhat involved, and it is not
+ intended that you should read through it.
+
+ \section2 Design and Implementation
+
+ The first step in designing the style was to select the base
+ class. We chose to subclass QWindowsStyle. This class implements
+ most of the functionality we need other than performing the actual
+ drawing. Also, windows and java share layout of sub controls for
+ several of the complex controls (which reduces the amount of code
+ required considerably).
+
+ The style is implemented in one class. We have done this
+ because we find it convenient to keep all code in one file. Also,
+ it is an advantage with regards to optimization as we instantiate
+ less objects. We also keep the number of functions at a minimum by
+ using switches to identify which element to draw in the functions.
+ This results in large functions, but since we divide the code for
+ each element in the switches, the code should still be easy to
+ read.
+
+ \section2 Limitations and Differences from Java
+
+ We have not fully implemented every element in the Java style.
+ This way, we have reduced the amount and complexity of the code.
+ In general, the style was intended as a practical example for
+ this style overview document, and not to be a part of Qt
+ itself.
+
+ Not all widgets have every state implemented. This goes for
+ states that are common, e.g., State_Disabled. Each state is,
+ however, implemented for at least one widget.
+
+ We have only implemented ticks below the slider. Flat push
+ buttons are also left out. We do not handle the case where the
+ title bars and dock window titles grows to small for their
+ contents, but simply draw sub controls over each other.
+
+ We have not tried to emulate the Java fonts. Java and Qt use very
+ different font engines, so we don't consider it worth the effort
+ as we only use the style as an example for this overview.
+
+ We have hardcoded the colors (we don't use the QPalette) for
+ the linear gradients, which are used, for example, for button
+ bevels, tool bars, and check boxes. This is because the Java
+ palette cannot produce these colors. Java does not change these
+ colors based on widget color group or role anyway (they are not
+ dependent on the palette), so it does not present a problem in any
+ case.
+
+ It is Qt's widgets that are styled. Some widgets do not exist
+ at all in Java, e.g., QToolBox. Others contain elements that the
+ Java widgets don't. The tree widget is an example of the latter in
+ which Java's JTree does not have a header.
+
+ The style does not handle reverse layouts. We assume that the
+ layout direction is left to right. QWindowsStyle handles reverse
+ widgets; if we implemented reverse layouts, widgets that we change
+ the position of sub elements, or handle text alignment in labels
+ our selves would need to be updated.
+
+ \section2 Styling Java Check Boxes
+
+ As an example, we will examine the styling of check boxes in the
+ java style. We describe the complete process and print all code in
+ both the java style and Qt classes involved. In the rest of this
+ document, we will not examine the source code of the individual
+ widgets. Hopefully, this will give you an idea on how to search
+ through the code if you need to check specific implementation
+ details; most widgets follow the same structure as the check
+ boxes. We have edited the QCommonStyle code somewhat to remove
+ code that is not directly relevant for check box styling.
+
+ We start with a look at how QCheckBox builds it style option,
+ which is QStyleOptionButton for checkboxes:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_styles.qdoc 0
+
+ First we let QStyleOption set up the option with the information
+ that is common for all widgets with \c initFrom(). We will look at
+ this shortly.
+
+ The down boolean is true when the user press the box down; this is
+ true whether the box is checked or not of the checkbox. The
+ State_NoChange state is set when we have a tristate checkbox and
+ it is partially checked. It has State_On if the box is checked and
+ State_Off if it is unchecked. State_MouseOver is set if the mouse
+ hovers over the checkbox and the widget has attribute Qt::WA_Hover
+ set - you set this in QStyle::polish(). In addition, the style
+ option also contains the text, icon, and icon size of the button.
+
+ \l{QStyleOption::}{initFrom()} sets up the style option with the
+ attributes that are common for all widgets. We print its
+ implementation here:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_styles.qdoc 1
+
+ The State_Enabled is set when the widget is enabled. When the
+ widget has focus the State_HasFocus flag is set. Equally, the
+ State_Active flag is set when the widget is a child of the active
+ window. The State_MouseOver will only be set if the widget has
+ the WA_HoverEnabled windows flag set. Notice that keypad
+ navigation must be enabled in Qt for the State_HasEditFocus to
+ be included; it is not included by default.
+
+ In addition to setting state flags the QStyleOption contains
+ other information about the widget: \c direction is the layout
+ direction of the layout, \c rect is the bounding rectangle of the
+ widget (the area in which to draw), \c palette is the QPalette
+ that should be used for drawing the widget, and \c fontMetrics is
+ the metrics of the font that is used by the widget.
+
+ We give an image of a checkbox and the style option to match
+ it.
+
+ \image javastyle/checkboxexample.png A java style checkbox
+
+ The above checkbox will have the following state flags in its
+ style option:
+
+ \table 90%
+ \header
+ \o State flag
+ \o Set
+ \row
+ \o State_Sunken
+ \o Yes
+ \row
+ \o State_NoChange
+ \o No
+ \row
+ \o State_On
+ \o Yes
+ \row
+ \o State_Off
+ \o No
+ \row
+ \o State_MouseOver
+ \o Yes
+ \row
+ \o State_Enabled
+ \o Yes
+ \row
+ \o State_HasFocus
+ \o Yes
+ \row
+ \o State_KeyboardFocusChange
+ \o No
+ \row
+ \o State_Active
+ \o Yes
+ \endtable
+
+ The QCheckBox paints itself in QWidget::paintEvent() with
+ style option \c opt and QStylePainter \c p. The QStylePainter
+ class is a convenience class to draw style elements. Most
+ notably, it wraps the methods in QStyle used for painting. The
+ QCheckBox draws itself as follows:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_styles.qdoc 2
+
+ QCommonStyle handles the CE_CheckBox element. The QCheckBox
+ has two sub elements: SE_CheckBoxIndicator (the checked indicator)
+ and SE_CheckBoxContents (the contents, which is used for the
+ checkbox label). QCommonStyle also implements these sub element
+ bounding rectangles. We have a look at the QCommonStyle code:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_styles.qdoc 3
+
+ As can be seen from the code extract, the common style gets
+ the bounding rectangles of the two sub elements of
+ CE_CheckBox, and then draws them. If the checkbox has focus,
+ the focus frame is also drawn.
+
+ The java style draws CE_CheckBoxIndicator, while QCommonStyle
+ handles CE_CheckboxLabel. We will examine each implementation and
+ start with CE_CheckBoxLabel:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_styles.qdoc 4
+
+ \l{QStyle::}{visualAlignment()} adjusts the alignment of text
+ according to the layout direction. We then draw an icon if it
+ exists, and adjust the space left for the text.
+ \l{QStyle::}{drawItemText()} draws the text taking alignment,
+ layout direction, and the mnemonic into account. It also uses the
+ palette to draw the text in the right color.
+
+ The drawing of labels often get somewhat involved. Luckily, it
+ can usually be handled by the base class. The java style
+ implements its own push button label since Java-contrary to
+ windows-center button contents also when the button has an icon.
+ You can examine that implementation if you need an example of
+ reimplementing label drawing.
+
+ We take a look at the java implementation
+ of CE_CheckBoxIndicator in \c drawControl():
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/javastyle.cpp 0
+
+ We first save the state of the painter. This is not always
+ necessary but in this case the QWindowsStyle needs the painter in
+ the same state as it was when PE_IndicatorCheckBox was called (We
+ could also set the state with function calls, of course). We then
+ use \c drawButtonBackground() to draw the background of the check
+ box indicator. This is a helper function that draws the background
+ and also the frame of push buttons and check boxes. We take a look
+ at that function below. We then check if the mouse is hovering
+ over the checkbox. If it is, we draw the frame java checkboxes
+ have when the box is not pressed down and the mouse is over it.
+ You may note that java does not handle tristate boxes, so we have
+ not implemented it.
+
+ Here we use a png image for our indicator. We could also check
+ here if the widget is disabled. We would then have to use
+ another image with the indicator in the disabled color.
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/javastyle.cpp 1
+
+ We have seen how check boxes are styled in the java style from the
+ widget gets a paint request to the style is finished painting. To
+ learn in detail how each widget is painted, you need to go through
+ the code step-by-step as we have done here. However, it is
+ usually enough to know which style elements the widgets draw. The
+ widget builds a style option and calls on the style one or more
+ times to draw the style elements of which it consists. Usually,
+ it is also sufficient to know the states a widget can be in and the
+ other contents of the style option, i.e., what we list in the next
+ section.
+
+ \section1 Widget Walkthrough
+
+ In this section, we will examine how most of Qt's widgets are
+ styled. Hopefully, this will save you some time and effort while
+ developing your own styles and widgets. You will not find
+ information here that is not attainable elsewhere (i.e., by
+ examining the source code or the class descriptions for the style
+ related classes).
+
+ We mostly use java style widgets as examples. The java style does not
+ draw every element in the element trees. This is because they are
+ not visible for that widget in the java style. We still make sure
+ that all elements are implemented in a way that conforms with the
+ java style as custom widgets might need them (this does not
+ exclude leaving implementations to QWindowsStyle though).
+
+ The following is given for each widget:
+
+ \list
+ \o A table with the members (variables, etc.) of its style option.
+ \o A table over the state flags (QStyle::StateFlag) that
+ can be set on the widget and when the states are set.
+ \o Its element tree (see section \l{The Style Elements}).
+ \o An image of the widget in which the elements are outlined.
+ \omit This is not written yet - probably never will be
+ either
+ \o List of style hints that should be checked for the
+ widget.
+ \o List of standard pixmaps that could be used by the
+ elements.
+ \endomit
+ \endlist
+
+ The element tree contains the primitive, control, and complex
+ style elements. By doing a top-down traversal of the element tree,
+ you get the sequence in which the elements should be drawn. In the
+ nodes, we have written the sub element rectangles, sub control
+ elements, and pixel metrics that should be considered when drawing
+ the element of the node.
+
+ Our approach on styling center on the drawing of the widgets. The
+ calculations of sub elements rectangles, sub controls, and pixel
+ metrics used \bold during drawing is only listed as contents in
+ the element trees. Note that there are rectangles and pixel
+ metrics that are only used by widgets. This leaves these
+ calculations untreated in the walkthrough. For instance, the
+ \l{QStyle::}{subControlRect()} and
+ \l{QStyle::}{sizeFromContents()} functions often call
+ \l{QStyle::}{subElementRect()} to calculate their bounding
+ rectangles. We could draw trees for this as well. However, how
+ these calculations are done is completely up to the individual
+ styles, and they do not have to follow a specific structure (Qt
+ does not impose a specific structure). You should still make sure
+ that you use the appropriate pixel metrics, though. To limit the
+ size of the document, we have therefore chosen not to include
+ trees or describe the calculations made by the Java (or any other)
+ style.
+
+ You may be confused about how the different pixel metrics, sub
+ element rectangles, and sub control rectangles should be used when
+ examining the trees. If you are in doubt after reading the QStyle
+ enum descriptions, we suggest that you examine the QCommonStyle
+ and QWindowsStyle implementations.
+
+ Some of the bounding rectangles that we outline in the widget
+ images are equal. Reasons for this are that some elements draw
+ backgrounds while others draw frames and labels. If in doubt,
+ check the description of each element in QStyle. Also, some
+ elements are there to layout, i.e., decide where to draw, other
+ elements.
+
+ \section2 Common Widget Properties
+
+ Some states and variables are common for all widgets. These are
+ set with QStyleOption::initFrom(). Not all elements use this function;
+ it is the widgets that create the style options, and for some
+ elements the information from \l{QStyleOption::}{initFrom()} is not
+ necessary.
+
+ A table with the common states follows:
+
+ \table 90%
+ \header
+ \o State
+ \o State Set When
+ \row
+ \o State_Enabled
+ \o Set if the widget is not disabled (see
+ QWidget::setEnabled())
+ \row
+ \o State_Focus
+ \o Set if the widget has focus (see
+ QWidget::hasFocus())
+ \row
+ \o State_KeyobordFocusChange
+ \o Set when the user changes focus with the keyboard
+ (see Qt::WA_KeyboardFocusChange)
+ \row
+ \o State_MouseOver
+ \o Set if the mouse cursor is over the widget
+ \row
+ \o State_Active
+ \o Set if the widget is a child of the active window.
+ \row
+ \o State_HasEditFocus
+ \o Set if the widget has the edit focus
+ \endtable
+
+ The other common members for widgets are:
+
+ \table 90%
+ \header
+ \o Member
+ \o Content
+ \row
+ \o rect
+ \o The bounding rectangle of the element to draw. This
+ is set to the widget bounding rectangle
+ (QWidget::rect()).
+ \row
+ \o direction
+ \o The layout direction; a value of the
+ Qt::LayoutDirection enum.
+ \row
+ \o palette
+ \o The QPalette to use when drawing the element. This
+ is set to the widgets palette (QWidget::palette()).
+ \row
+ \o fontMetrics
+ \o The QFontMetrics to use when drawing text on the
+ widget.
+ \endtable
+
+ The complex style options (classes that inherit
+ QStyleOptionComplex) used for complex style elements share two
+ variables: \l{QStyleOptionComplex::}{subControls} and
+ \l{QStyleOptionComplex::}{activeSubControls}. Both variables are
+ an OR'ed combination of QStyle::SubControl enum values. They
+ indicate which sub controls the complex control consists of and
+ which of these controls are currently active.
+
+ As mentioned, the style calculates the size of the widgets
+ contents, which the widgets calculate their size hints from. In
+ addition, complex controls also use the style to test which
+ sub-controls the mouse is over.
+
+ \section2 Widget Reference
+
+ Without further delay, we present the widget walkthrough; each
+ widget has its own sub-section.
+
+ \section3 Push Buttons
+
+ The style structure for push buttons is shown below. By doing a
+ top-down traversal of the tree, you get the sequence in which the
+ elements should be drawn.
+
+ \image javastyle/pushbutton.png The style structure for push buttons
+
+ The layout of the buttons, with regard element bounds, varies from
+ style to style. This makes it difficult to show conceptual images
+ of this. Also, elements may - even be intended to - have the same
+ bounds; the PE_PushButtonBevel, for instance, is used in
+ QCommonStyle to draw the elements that contains it:
+ PE_FrameDefaultButton, PE_FrameButtonBevel, and
+ PE_PanelButtonCommand, all of which have the same bounds in common
+ and windows style. PE_PushButtonBevel is also responsible for
+ drawing the menu indicator (QCommonStyle draws
+ PE_IndicatorArrowDown).
+
+ An image of a push button in the java style that show the bounding
+ rectangles of the elements is given below. Colors are used to
+ separate the bounding rectangles in the image; they do not fill
+ any other purpose. This is also true for similar images for the
+ other widgets.
+
+ \image javastyle/button.png
+
+ The java style, as well as all other styles implemented in Qt,
+ does not use PE_FrameButtonBevel. It is usual that a button
+ with a PE_DefaultFrame adjusts the PE_PanelButtonCommand's
+ rectangle by PM_ButtonDefaultIndicator. The CE_PushButtonLabel
+ is found by adjusting the rect by PM_DefaultFrameWidth.
+
+ We will now examine the style option for push
+ buttons - QStyleOptionButton. A table for the states that
+ QPushButton can set on the style option follows:
+
+ \table 90%
+ \header
+ \o State
+ \o State Set When
+ \row
+ \o State_Sunken
+ \o Button is down or menu is pressed shown
+ \row
+ \o State_On
+ \o Button is checked
+ \row
+ \o State_Raised
+ \o Button is not flat and not pressed down
+ \endtable
+
+ Other members of QStyleOptionButton is:
+
+ \table 90%
+ \header
+ \o Member
+ \o Content
+ \row
+ \o features
+ \o Flags of the QStyleOptionButton::ButtonFeatures enum,
+ which describes various button properties (see enum)
+ \row
+ \o icon
+ \o The buttons QIcon (if any)
+ \row
+ \o iconSize
+ \o The QSize of the icon
+ \row
+ \o text
+ \o a QString with the buttons text
+ \endtable
+
+ \section3 Check and Radio Buttons
+
+ The structures for radio and check buttons are identical.
+ We show the structure using QCheckBox element and pixel
+ metric names:
+
+ \image javastyle/checkbox.png
+
+ QStyleOptionButton is used as the style option for both check
+ and radio buttons. We first give a table of the states that
+ can be set in the option:
+
+ \table 90%
+ \header
+ \o State
+ \o State Set When
+ \row
+ \o State_sunken
+ \o The box is pressed down
+ \row
+ \o State_NoChange
+ \o The box is partially checked (for tristate
+ checkboxes.)
+ \row
+ \o State_On
+ \o The box is checked
+ \row
+ \o State_Off
+ \o The box is unchecked
+ \endtable
+
+ See \l{Push Buttons} for a table over other members in the
+ QStyleOptionButtonClass.
+
+ \section3 Tabs
+
+ In Qt, QTabBar uses the style to draw its tabs. Tabs exist either
+ in a QTabWidget, which contains a QTabBar, or as a separate bar.
+ If the bar is not part of a tab widget, it draws its own base.
+
+ QTabBar lays out the tabs, so the style does not have control over
+ tab placement. However, while laying out its tabs, the bar asks
+ the style for PM_TabBarTabHSpace and PM_TabBarTabVSpace, which is
+ extra width and height over the minimum size of the tab bar tab
+ label (icon and text). The style can also further influence the
+ tab size before it is laid out, as the tab bar asks for
+ CT_TabBarTab. The bounding rectangle of the bar is decided by the
+ tab widget when it is part of the widget (still considering
+ CT_TabBarTab).
+
+ The tab bar is responsible for drawing the buttons that appear on
+ the tab bar when all tabs do not fit. Their placement is not
+ controlled by the style, but the buttons are \l{QToolButton}s
+ and are therefore drawn by the style.
+
+ Here is the style structure for QTabWidget and QTabBar:
+
+ \image javastyle/tab.png
+
+ The dotted lines indicate that the QTabWidget contains a tab bar,
+ but does not draw it itself, that QTabBar only draws its base line
+ when not part of a tab widget, and that the tab bar keeps two tool
+ buttons that scroll the bar when all tabs do not fit; see \l{Tool
+ Buttons} for their element tree. Also note that since the buttons
+ are children of the tab bar, they are drawn after the bar. The
+ tabs bounding rectangles overlap the base by PM_TabBarBaseOverlap.
+
+ Here is a tab widget in the java style:
+
+ \image javastyle/tabwidget.png
+
+ In the java style (and also windows), the tab bar shape and label
+ have the same bounding rectangle as CE_TabBarTab. Notice that the
+ tabs overlap with the tab widget frame. The base of the tab bar
+ (if drawn) is the area where the tabs and frame overlap.
+
+ The style option for tabs (QStyleOptionTab) contains the necessary
+ information for drawing tabs. The option contains the position of
+ the tab in the tab bar, the position of the selected tab, the
+ shape of the tab, the text, and icon. After Qt 4.1 the option
+ should be cast to a QStyleOptionTabV2, which also contains the
+ icons size.
+
+ As the java style tabs don't overlap, we also present an image of
+ a tab widget in the windows style. Note that if you want the tabs
+ to overlap horizontally, you do that when drawing the tabs in
+ CE_TabBarTabShape; the tabs bounding rectangles will not be
+ altered by the tab bar. The tabs are drawn from left to right in a
+ north tab bar shape, top to bottom in an east tab bar shape, etc.
+ The selected tab is drawn last, so that it is easy to draw it over
+ the other tabs (if it is to be bigger).
+
+ \image javastyle/windowstabimage.png
+
+ A table of the states a tab bar can set on its tabs follows:
+
+ \table 90%
+ \header
+ \o State
+ \o State Set When
+ \row
+ \o State_Sunken
+ \o The tab is pressed on with the mouse.
+ \row
+ \o State_Selected
+ \o If it is the current tab.
+ \row
+ \o State_HasFocus
+ \o The tab bar has focus and the tab is selected
+ \endtable
+
+ Note that individual tabs may be disabled even if the tab bar
+ is not. The tab will be active if the tab bar is active.
+
+ Here follows a table of QStyleOptionTabV2's members:
+
+ \table 90%
+ \header
+ \o Member
+ \o Content
+ \row
+ \o cornerWidgets
+ \o Is flags of the CornerWidget enum, which indicate
+ if and which corner widgets the tab bar has.
+ \row
+ \o icon
+ \o The QIcon of the tab
+ \row
+ \o iconSize
+ \o The QSize of the icon
+ \row
+ \o position
+ \o A TabPosition enum value that indicates the tabs
+ position on the bar relative to the other tabs.
+ \row
+ \o row
+ \o holds which row the tab is in
+ \row
+ \o selectedPosition
+ \o A value of the SelectedPosition enum that indicates
+ whether the selected tab is adjacent to or is the
+ tab.
+ \row
+ \o shape
+ \o A value of the QTabBar::Shape enum indication
+ whether the tab has rounded or triangular corners
+ and the orientation of the tab.
+ \row
+ \o text
+ \o The tab text
+ \endtable
+
+ The frame for tab widgets use QStyleOptionTabWidgetFrame as
+ style option. We list its members here. It does not have
+ states set besides the common flags.
+
+ \table 90%
+ \header
+ \o Member
+ \o content
+ \row
+ \o leftCornerWidgetSize
+ \o The QSize of the left corner widget (if any).
+ \row
+ \o rightCornerWidgetSize
+ \o The QSize of the right corner widget (if any).
+ \row
+ \o lineWidth
+ \o holds the line with for drawing the panel.
+ \row
+ \o midLineWith
+ \o this value is currently always 0.
+ \row
+ \o shape
+ \o The shape of the tabs on the tab bar.
+ \row
+ \o tabBarSize
+ \o The QSize of the tab bar.
+ \endtable
+
+ \section3 Scroll Bars
+
+ Here is the style structure for scrollBars:
+
+ \image javastyle/scrollbar.png
+
+ QScrollBar simply creates its style option and then draws
+ CC_ScrollBar. Some styles draw the background of add page and sub
+ page with PE_PanelButtonBevel and also use indicator arrows to
+ draw the arrows in the nest and previous line indicators; we have
+ not included these in the tree as their use is up to the
+ individual style. The style's PM_MaximumDragDistance is the
+ maximum distance in pixels the mouse can move from the bounds
+ of the scroll bar and still move the handle.
+
+ Here is an image of a scrollbar in the java style:
+
+ \image javastyle/scrollbarimage.png
+
+ You may notice that the scrollbar is slightly different from
+ Java's as it has two line up indicators. We have done this to show
+ how that you can have two separate bounding rectangles for a
+ single sub control. The scroll bar is an example of a widget that
+ is entirely implemented by the java style - neither QWindowsStyle
+ nor QCommonStyle are involved in the drawing.
+
+ We have a look at the different states a scroll bar can set on
+ the style option:
+
+ \table 90%
+ \header
+ \o State
+ \o State Set When
+ \row
+ \o State_Horizontal
+ \o The scroll bar is horizontal
+ \endtable
+
+ The style option of QScrollBar is QStyleOptionSlider. Its
+ members are listed in the following table. The option is used
+ by all \l{QAbstractSlider}s; we only describe the members
+ relevant for scroll bars here.
+
+ \table 90%
+ \header
+ \o Member
+ \o Content
+ \row
+ \o maximum
+ \o the maximum value of the scroll bar
+ \row
+ \o minimum
+ \o the minimum value of the scroll bar
+ \row
+ \o notchTarget
+ \o the number of pixels between notches
+ \row
+ \o orientation
+ \o a value of the Qt::Orientation enum that specifies
+ whether the scroll bar is vertical or horizontal
+ \row
+ \o pageStep
+ \o the number to increase or decrease the sliders
+ value (relative to the size of the slider and its value
+ range) on page steps.
+ \row
+ \o singleStep
+ \o the number to increase or decrease the sliders
+ value on single (or line) steps
+ \row
+ \o sliderValue
+ \o The value of the slider
+ \row
+ \o sliderPosition
+ \o the position of the slider handle. This is the same
+ as \c sliderValue if the scroll bar is
+ QAbstractSlider::tracking. If not, the scroll
+ bar does not update its value before the mouse
+ releases the handle.
+ \row
+ \o upsideDown
+ \o holds the direction in which the scroll bar
+ increases its value. This is used instead of
+ QStyleOption::direction for all abstract sliders.
+ \endtable
+
+ \section3 Sliders
+
+ When calculating the sliders size hint, PM_SliderTickness and
+ PM_SliderLength is queried from the style. As with scroll bars,
+ the QSlider only lets the user move the handle if the mouse is
+ within PM_MaximumDragDistance from the slider bounds. When it
+ draws itself it creates the style option and calls \c
+ drawComplexControl() with CC_Slider:
+
+ \image javastyle/slider.png
+
+ We also show a picture of a slider in the java style. We show
+ the bounding rectangles of the sub elements as all drawing is done
+ in CC_Slider.
+
+ \image javastyle/sliderimage.png
+
+ QSlider uses QStyleOptionSlider as all \l{QAbstractSlider}s do. We
+ present a table with the members that affect QSlider:
+
+ \table 90%
+ \header
+ \o Member
+ \o Content
+ \row
+ \o maximum
+ \o the maximum value of the slider
+ \row
+ \o minimum
+ \o the minimum value of the slider
+ \row
+ \o notchTarget
+ \o this is the number of pixels between each notch
+ \row
+ \o orientation
+ \o a Qt::Orientation enum value that gives whether the
+ slider is vertical or horizontal.
+ \row
+ \o pageStep
+ \o a number in slider value to increase or decrease
+ for page steps
+ \row
+ \o singleStep
+ \o the number to increase or decrease the sliders
+ value on single (or line) steps.
+ \row
+ \o sliderValue
+ \o the value of the slider.
+ \row
+ \o sliderPosition
+ \o the position of the slider given as a slider value.
+ This will be equal to the \c sliderValue if the
+ slider is \l{QAbstractSlider::}{tracking}; if
+ not, the sliders value will not change until the handle is
+ released with the mouse.
+ \row
+ \o upsideDown
+ \o this member is used instead of QStyleOption::direction
+ for all abstract sliders.
+ \endtable
+
+ You should note that the slider does not use direction for
+ reverse layouts; it uses \c upsideDown.
+
+ \section3 Spin Boxes
+
+ When QSpinBox paints itself it creates a QStyleOptionSpinBox and
+ asks the style to draw CC_SpinBox. The edit field is a line
+ edit that is a child of the spin box. The dimensions of the
+ field is calculated by the style with SC_SpinBoxEditField.
+
+ Here follows the style tree for spin boxes. It is not
+ required that a style uses the button panel primitive to paint
+ the indicator backgrounds. You can see an image below the tree
+ showing the sub elements in QSpinBox in the java style.
+
+ \image javastyle/spinbox.png
+
+ \image javastyle/spinboximage.png
+
+ The QStyleOptionSpinBox, which is the style option for spin
+ boxes. It can set the following states on the spin box.:
+
+ \table 90%
+ \header
+ \o State
+ \o State Set When
+ \row
+ \o State_Sunken
+ \o Is set if one of the sub controls CC_SpinUp or
+ CC_SpinDown is pressed on with the mouse.
+ \endtable
+
+ The rest of the members in the spin boxes style options are:
+
+ \table 90%
+ \header
+ \o Property
+ \o Function
+ \row
+ \o frame
+ \o boolean that is true if the spin box is to draw a
+ frame.
+ \row
+ \o buttonSymbols
+ \o Value of the ButtonSymbols enum that decides the
+ symbol on the up/down buttons.
+ \row
+ \o stepEnabled
+ \o A value of the StepEnabled indication which of the
+ spin box buttons are pressed down.
+ \endtable
+
+ \section3 Title Bar
+
+ The title bar complex control, CC_TitleBar, is used to draw
+ the title bars of internal windows in QMdiArea. It typically
+ consists of a window title and close, minimize, system menu, and
+ maximize buttons. Some styles also provide buttons for shading
+ the window, and a button for context sensitive help.
+
+ The bar is drawn in CC_TitleBar without using any sub elements.
+ How the individual styles draw their buttons is individual, but
+ there are standard pixmaps for the buttons that the style should
+ provide.
+
+ \image javastyle/titlebar.png
+
+ In an image over a title bar in the java style, we show the
+ bounding rectangles of the sub elements supported by the java style
+ (all of which are drawn with standard pixmaps). It is usual to
+ draw the button backgrounds using PE_PanelButtonTool, but it's no
+ rule.
+
+ \image javastyle/titlebarimage.png
+
+ The style option for title bars is QStyleOptionTitleBar. It's
+ members are:
+
+ \table 90%
+ \header
+ \o Member
+ \o Content
+ \row
+ \o icon
+ \o The title bars icon
+ \row
+ \o text
+ \o the text for the title bar's label
+ \row
+ \o windowFlags
+ \o flags of the Qt::WindowFlag enum. The window flags
+ used by QMdiArea for window management.
+ \row
+ \o titleBarState
+ \o this is the QWidget::windowState() of the window
+ that contains the title bar.
+ \endtable
+
+ \section3 Combo Box
+
+ A QComboBox uses the style to draw the button and label of
+ non-editable boxes with CC_ComboBox and CE_ComboBoxLabel.
+
+ The list that pops up when the user clicks on the combo box is
+ drawn by a \l{Delegate Classes}{delegate}, which we do not cover
+ in this overview. You can, however, use the style to control the
+ list's size and position with the sub element
+ SC_ComboBoxListBoxPopup. The style also decides where the edit
+ field for editable boxes should be with SC_ComboBoxEditField; the
+ field itself is a QLineEdit that is a child of the combo box.
+
+ \image javastyle/combobox.png
+
+ We show an image over a java style combo box in which we have
+ outlined its sub elements and sub element rectangles:
+
+ \image javastyle/comboboximage.png
+
+ Java combo boxes do not use the focus rect; it changes its
+ background color when it has focus. The SC_ComboBoxEdit field is
+ used both by QComboBox to calculate the size of the edit field and
+ the style for calculating the size of the combo box label.
+
+ The style option for combo boxes is QStyleOptionComboBox. It
+ can set the following states:
+
+ \table 90%
+ \header
+ \o State
+ \o Set When
+ \row
+ \o State_Selected
+ \o The box is not editable and has focus
+ \row
+ \o State_Sunken
+ \o SC_ComboBoxArrow is active
+ \row
+ \o State_on
+ \o The container (list) of the box is visible
+ \endtable
+
+ The style options other members are:
+
+ \table
+ \header
+ \o Member
+ \o Content
+ \row
+ \o currentIcon
+ \o the icon of the current (selected) item of the
+ combo box.
+ \row
+ \o currentText
+ \o the text of the current item in the box.
+ \row
+ \o editable
+ \o holds whether the combo box is editable or not
+ \row
+ \o frame
+ \o holds whether the combo box has a frame or not
+ \row
+ \o iconSize
+ \o the size of the current items icon.
+ \row
+ \o popupRect
+ \o the bounding rectangle of the combo box's popup
+ list.
+ \endtable
+
+ \section3 Group Boxes
+
+ When calculating the size hint, QGroupBox fetches three pixel
+ metrics from the style: PM_IndicatorWidth,
+ PM_CheckBoxLabelSpacing, and PM_IndicatorHeight. QGroupBox has
+ the following style element tree:
+
+ \image javastyle/groupbox.png
+
+ Qt does not impose restrictions on how the check box is drawn; the
+ java style draws it with CE_IndicatorCheckBox. See \l{Check and
+ Radio Buttons} for the complete tree.
+
+ We also give an image of the widget with the sub controls and
+ sub control rectangles drawn:
+
+ \image javastyle/groupboximage.png
+
+ The style option for group boxes are QStyleOptionGroupBox. The
+ following states can be set on it:
+
+ \table 90%
+ \header
+ \o State
+ \o Set When
+ \row
+ \o State_On
+ \o The check box is checked
+ \row
+ \o State_Sunken
+ \o The checkbox is pressed down
+ \row
+ \o State_Off
+ \o The check box is unchecked (or there is no check box)
+ \endtable
+
+ The remaining members of QStyleOptionGroupBox are:
+
+ \table
+ \header
+ \o Member
+ \o Content
+ \row
+ \o features
+ \o flags of the QStyleOptionFrameV2::FrameFeatures
+ enum describing the frame of the group box.
+ \row
+ \o lineWidth
+ \o the line width with which to draw the panel. This
+ is always 1.
+ \row
+ \o text
+ \o the text of the group box.
+ \row
+ \o textAlignment
+ \o the alignment of the group box title
+ \row
+ \o textColor
+ \o the QColor of the text
+ \endtable
+
+ \section3 Splitters
+
+ As the structure of splitters are simple and do not contain any
+ sub elements, we do not include image of splitters. CE_Splitter
+ does not use any other elements or metrics.
+
+ For its style option, Splitters uses the base class QStyleOption.
+ It can set the following state flags on it:
+
+ \table 90%
+ \header
+ \o State
+ \o Set When
+ \row
+ \o State_Horizontal
+ \o Set if it is a horizontal splitter
+ \endtable
+
+ QSplitter does not use \l{QStyleOption::}{initFrom()} to set up its
+ option; it sets the State_MouseOver and State_Disabled flags
+ itself.
+
+ \section3 Progress Bar
+
+ The CE_ProgressBar element is used by QProgressBar, and it is the
+ only element used by this widget. We start with looking at the
+ style structure:
+
+ \image javastyle/progressbar.png
+
+ Here is a progress bar in the windows style (the java style
+ bounding rectangles are equal):
+
+ \image javastyle/progressbarimage.png
+
+ The style option for QProgressBar is QStyleOptionProgressBarV2.
+ The bar does not set any state flags, but the other members of the
+ option are:
+
+ \table 90%
+ \header
+ \o Member
+ \o Content
+ \row
+ \o minimum
+ \o The minimum value of the bar
+ \row
+ \o maximum
+ \o The maximum value of the bar
+ \row
+ \o progress
+ \o The current value of the bar
+ \row
+ \o textAlignment
+ \o How the text is aligned in the label
+ \row
+ \o textVisible
+ \o Whether the label is drawn
+ \row
+ \o text
+ \o The label text
+ \row
+ \o orientation
+ \o Progress bars can be vertical or horizontal
+ \row
+ \o invertedAppearance
+ \o The progress is inverted (i.e., right to left in a
+ horizontal bar)
+ \row
+ \o bottomToTop
+ \o Boolean that if true, turns the label of vertical
+ progress bars 90 degrees.
+ \endtable
+
+ \section3 Tool Buttons
+
+ Tool buttons exist either independently or as part of tool bars.
+ They are drawn equally either way. The QToolButton draws only one
+ style element: CC_ToolButton.
+
+ As you must be used to by now (at least if you have read this
+ document sequentially), we have a tree of the widget's style
+ structure:
+
+ \image javastyle/toolbutton.png
+
+ Note that PE_FrameButtonTool and PE_IndicatorArrowDown are
+ included in the tree as the java style draws them, but they can
+ safely be omitted if you prefer it. The structure may also be
+ different. QWindowsStyle, for instance, draws both
+ PE_IndicatorButtonDropDown and PE_IndicatorArrowDown in
+ CE_ToolButton.
+
+ We also have an image of a tool button where we have outlined
+ the sub element bounding rectangles and sub controls.
+
+ \image javastyle/toolbuttonimage.png
+
+ Here is the states table for tool buttons:
+
+ \table 90%
+ \header
+ \o State
+ \o Set When
+ \row
+ \o State_AutoRise
+ \o the tool button has the autoRise property set
+ \row
+ \o State_raised
+ \o the button is not sunken (i.e., by being checked or
+ pressed on with the mouse).
+ \row
+ \o State_Sunken
+ \o the button is down
+ \row
+ \o State_On
+ \o the button is checkable and checked.
+ \endtable
+
+ QStyleOptionToolButton also contains the following members:
+
+ \table
+ \header
+ \o Member
+ \o Content
+ \row
+ \o arrowType
+ \o a Qt::ArrowType enum value, which contains the
+ direction of the buttons arrow (if an arrow is to
+ be used in place of an icon)
+ \row
+ \o features
+ \o flags of the QStyleOptionToolButton::ButtonFeature
+ enum describing if the button has an arrow, a menu,
+ and/or has a popup-delay.
+ \row
+ \o font
+ \o the QFont of the buttons label
+ \row
+ \o icon
+ \o the QIcon of the tool button
+ \row
+ \o iconSize
+ \o the icon size of the button's icon
+ \row
+ \o pos
+ \o the position of the button, as given by
+ QWidget::pos()
+ \row
+ \o text
+ \o the text of the button
+ \row
+ \o toolButtonStyle
+ \o a Qt::ToolButtonStyle enum value which decides
+ whether the button shows the icon, the text, or both.
+ \endtable
+
+ \section3 Toolbars
+
+ Toolbars are part of the \l{QMainWindow}{main window framework}
+ and cooperates with the QMainWindow to which it belongs while it
+ builds its style option. A main window has 4 areas that toolbars
+ can be placed in. They are positioned next to the four sides of
+ the window (i.e., north, south, west, and east). Within each area
+ there can be more than one line of toolbars; a line consists of
+ toolbars with equal orientation (vertical or horizontal) placed
+ next to each other.
+
+ \l{QToolbar}{QToolbar}s in Qt consists of three elements
+ CE_ToolBar, PE_IndicatorToolBarHandle, and
+ PE_IndicatorToolBarSeparator. It is QMainWindowLayout that
+ calculates the bounding rectangles (i.e., position and size of the
+ toolbars and their contents. The main window also uses the \c
+ sizeHint() of the items in the toolbars when calculating the size
+ of the bars.
+
+ Here is the element tree for QToolBar:
+
+ \image javastyle/toolbar.png
+
+ The dotted lines indicate that the QToolBar keeps an instance of
+ QToolBarLayout and that QToolBarSeparators are kept by
+ QToolBarLayout. When the toolbar is floating (i.e., has its own
+ window) the PE_FrameMenu element is drawn, else QToolbar draws
+ CE_ToolBar.
+
+ Here is an image of a toolbar in the java style:
+
+ \image javastyle/toolbarimage.png
+
+ QToolBarSaparator uses QStyleOption for their style option. It
+ sets the State_horizontal flag if the toolbar they live in is
+ horizontal. Other than that, they use \l{QStyleOption::}{initFrom()}.
+
+ The style option for QToolBar is QStyleOptionToolBar. The only
+ state flag set (besides the common flags) is State_Horizontal
+ if the bar is horizontal (i.e., in the north or south toolbar area).
+ The member variables of the style option are:
+
+ \table 90%
+ \header
+ \o Member
+ \o Content
+ \row
+ \o features
+ \o Holds whether the bar is movable in a value of the
+ ToolBarFeature, which is either Movable or None.
+ \row
+ \o lineWidth
+ \o The width of the tool bar frame.
+ \row
+ \o midLineWidth
+ \o This variable is currently not used and is always
+ 0.
+ \row
+ \o positionOfLine
+ \o The position of the toolbar line within the toolbar
+ area to which it belongs.
+ \row
+ \o positionWithinLine
+ \o The position of the toolbar within the toolbar line.
+ \row
+ \o toolBarArea
+ \o The toolbar area in which the toolbar lives.
+ \endtable
+
+ \section3 Menus
+
+ Menus in Qt are implemented in QMenu. The QMenu keeps a list of
+ action, which it draws as menu items. When QMenu receives paint
+ events ,it calculates the size of each menu item and draws them
+ individually with CE_MenuItem. (Menu items do not have a separate
+ element for their label (contents), so all drawing is done in
+ CE_MenuItem. The menu also draws the frame of the menu with
+ PE_FrameMenu. It also draws CE_MenuScroller if the style supports
+ scrolling. CE_MenuTearOff is drawn if the menu is to large for its
+ bounding rectangle.
+
+ In the style structure tree, we also include QMenu as it also does
+ styling related work. The bounding rectangles of menu items are
+ calculated for the menus size hint and when the menu is displayed
+ or resized.
+
+ \image javastyle/menu.png
+
+ The CE_MenuScroller and CE_MenuTearOff elements are handled by
+ QCommonStyle and are not shown unless the menu is to large to fit
+ on the screen. PE_FrameMenu is only drawn for pop-up menus.
+
+ QMenu calculates rectangles based on its actions and calls
+ CE_MenuItem and CE_MenuScroller if the style supports that.
+
+ It is also usual to use PE_IndicatorCheckBox (instead of using
+ PE_IndicatorMenuCheckMark) and PE_IndicatorRadioButton for drawing
+ checkable menu items; we have not included them in the style tree
+ as this is optional and varies from style to style.
+
+ \image javastyle/menuimage.png
+
+ The style option for menu items is QStyleOptionMenuItem. The
+ following tables describe its state flags and other members.
+
+ \table 90%
+ \header
+ \o State
+ \o Set When
+ \row
+ \o State_Selected
+ \o The mouse is over the action and the action is not
+ a separator.
+ \row
+ \o State_Sunken
+ \o The mouse is pressed down on the menu item.
+ \row
+ \o State_DownArrow
+ \o Set if the menu item is a menu scroller and it scrolls
+ the menu downwards.
+ \endtable
+
+ \table 90%
+ \header
+ \o Member
+ \o Content
+ \row
+ \o checkType
+ \o A value of the \l{QStyleOptionMenuItem::}{CheckType} enum,
+ which is either NotCheckable, Exclusive, or
+ NonExclusive.
+ \row
+ \o checked
+ \o Boolean that is true if the menu item is checked.
+ \row
+ \o font
+ \o The QFont to use for the menu item's text.
+ \row
+ \o icon
+ \o the QIcon of the menu item.
+ \row
+ \o maxIconWidth
+ \o The maximum width allowed for the icon
+ \row
+ \o menuHasChecableItem
+ \o Boolean which is true if at least one item in the
+ menu is checkable.
+ \row
+ \o menuItemType
+ \o The type of the menu item. This a value of the
+ \l{QStyleOptionMenuItem::}{MenuItemType}.
+ \row
+ \o menuRect
+ \o The bounding rectangle for the QMenu that the menu
+ item lives in.
+ \row
+ \o tabWidth
+ \o This is the distance between the text of the menu
+ item and the shortcut.
+ \row
+ \o text
+ \o The text of the menu item.
+ \endtable
+
+ The setup of the style option for CE_MenuTearOff and
+ CE_MenuScroller also uses QStyleOptionMenuItem; they only set the
+ \c menuRect variable in addition to the common settings with
+ QStyleOption's \l{QStyleOption::}{initFrom()}.
+
+ \section3 Menu Bar
+
+ QMenuBar uses the style to draw each menu bar item and the empty
+ area of the menu bar. The pull-down menus themselves are
+ \l{QMenu}s (see \l{Menus}). The style element tree for the menu
+ bar follows:
+
+ \image javastyle/menubar.png
+
+ The panel and empty area is drawn after the menu items. The
+ QPainter that the QMenuBar sends to the style has the bounding
+ rectangles of the items clipped out (i.e., clip region), so you
+ don't need to worry about drawing over the items. The pixel
+ metrics in QMenuBar is used when the bounding rectangles of the
+ menu bar items are calculated.
+
+ \image javastyle/menubarimage.png
+
+ QStyleOptionMenuItem is used for menu bar items. The members that
+ are used by QMenuBar is described in the following table:
+
+ \table
+ \header
+ \o Member
+ \o Content
+ \row
+ \o menuRect
+ \o the bounding rectangle of the entire menu bar to
+ which the item belongs.
+ \row
+ \o text
+ \o the text of the item
+ \row
+ \o icon
+ \o the icon of the menu item (it is not common that
+ styles draw this icon)
+ \endtable
+
+ QStyleOptionMenuItem is also used for drawing CE_EmptyMenuBarArea.
+
+ QStyleOptionFrame is used for drawing the panel frame The
+ \l{QStyleOptionFrame::}{lineWidth} is set to PM_MenuBarPanelWidth.
+ The \l{QStyleOptionFrame::}{midLineWidth} is currently always set
+ to 0.
+
+ \section3 Item View Headers
+
+ It is the style that draws the headers of Qt's item views. The
+ item views keeps the dimensions on individual sections. Also
+ note that the delegates may use the style to paint decorations
+ and frames around items. QItemDelegate, for instance, draws
+ PE_FrameFocusRect and PE_IndicatorViewItemCheck.
+
+ \image javastyle/header.png
+
+ Here is a QTableWidget showing the bounding rects of a Java
+ header:
+
+ \image javastyle/headerimage.png
+
+ The QHeaderView uses CT_HeaderSection, PM_HeaderMargin and
+ PM_HeaderGripMargin for size and hit test calculations. The
+ PM_HeaderMarkSize is currently not used by Qt. QTableView draws
+ the button in the top-left corner (i.e., the area where the
+ vertical and horizontal headers intersect) as a CE_Header.
+
+ The style option for header views is QStyleOptionHeader. The view
+ paints one header section at a time, so the data is for the
+ section being drawn. Its contents are:
+
+ \table 90%
+ \header
+ \o Member
+ \o Content
+ \row
+ \o icon
+ \o the icon of the header (for section that is being
+ drawn).
+ \row
+ \o iconAlignment
+ \o the alignment (Qt::Alignment) of the icon in the header.
+ \row
+ \o orientation
+ \o a Qt::Orientation value deciding whether the header
+ is the horizontal header above the view or the
+ vertical header on the left.
+ \row
+ \o position
+ \o a QStyleOptionHeader::SectionPosition value
+ giving the header section's position relative to
+ the other sections.
+ \row
+ \o section
+ \o holds the section that is being drawn.
+ \row
+ \o selectedPosition
+ \o a QStyleOptionHeader::SelectedPosition value giving
+ the selected section's position relative to the
+ section that is being painted.
+ \row
+ \o sortIndicator
+ \o a QStyleOptionHeader::SortIndicator value that
+ describes the direction in which the section's sort
+ indicator should be drawn.
+ \row
+ \o text
+ \o the text of the currently drawn section.
+ \row
+ \o textAlignment
+ \o the Qt::Alignment of the text within the
+ headersection.
+ \endtable
+
+ \section3 Tree Branch Indicators
+
+ The branch indicators in a tree view is drawn by the style with
+ PE_IndicatorBranch. We think of indicators here as the indicators
+ that describe the relationship of the nodes in the tree. The
+ generic QStyleOption is sent to the style for drawing this
+ elements. The various branch types are described by states. Since
+ there are no specific style option, we simply present the states
+ table:
+
+ \table 90%
+ \header
+ \o State
+ \o Set When
+ \row
+ \o State_Sibling
+ \o the node in the tree has a sibling (i.e., there is
+ another node in the same column).
+ \row
+ \o State_Item
+ \o this branch indicator has an item.
+ \row
+ \o State_Children
+ \o the branch has children (i.e., a new sub-tree can
+ be opened at the branch).
+ \row
+ \o State_Open
+ \o the branch indicator has an opened sub-tree.
+ \endtable
+
+ The tree view (and tree widget) use the style to draw the branches
+ (or nodes if you will) of the tree.
+
+ QStyleOption is used as the style for PE_IndicatorBranch has state
+ flags set depending on what type of branch it is.
+
+ Since there is no tree structure for branch indicators, we only
+ present an image of a tree in the java style. Each state is marked
+ in the image with a rectangle in a specific color (i.e., these
+ rectangles are not bounding rectangles). All combinations of
+ states you must be aware of are represented in the image.
+
+ \image javastyle/branchindicatorimage.png
+
+ \section3 Tool Boxes
+
+ PM_SmallIconSize for sizeHints.
+
+ QToolBox is a container that keeps a collection of widgets. It has
+ one tab for each widget and display one of them at a time. The
+ tool box lays the components it displays (the tool box buttons
+ and selected widget) in a QVBoxLayout. The style tree for tool
+ boxes looks like this:
+
+ \image javastyle/toolbox.png
+
+ We show an image of a tool box in the Plastique style:
+
+ \image javastyle/toolboximage.png
+
+ All elements have the same bounding rectangles in the
+ Plastique as well as the other Qt built-in styles.
+
+ The style option for tool boxes is QStyleOptionToolBox. It
+ contains the text and icon of the tool box contents. The only
+ state set by QToolBox is State_Sunken, which is set when the user
+ presses a tab down with the mouse. The rest of the
+ QStyleOptionToolBox members are:
+
+ \table 90%
+ \header
+ \o Member
+ \o Content
+ \row
+ \o icon
+ \o the icon on the toolbox tab
+ \row
+ \o text
+ \o the text on the toolbox tab
+ \endtable
+
+ \section3 Size Grip
+
+ The size grip calculates its size hint with CT_SizeGrip. The pixel
+ metric PM_SizeGripSize is currently unused by Qt. The element tree
+ for and an image in the Plastique style of QSizeGrip follows:
+
+ \image javastyle/sizegrip.png
+
+ \image javastyle/sizegripimage.png
+
+ We show the size grip in a \l{QMainWindow}'s bottom right
+ corner.
+
+ The size grip style option, QStyleOptionSizeGrip, have one
+ member except the common members from QStyleOption:
+
+ \table 90%
+ \header
+ \o Member
+ \o Content
+ \row
+ \o corner
+ \o a Qt::Corner value that describe which corner in a
+ window (or equivalent) the grip is located.
+ \endtable
+
+ \section3 Rubber Band
+
+ The \l{QRubberBand}'s style tree consists of two nodes.
+
+ \image javastyle/rubberband.png
+
+ We present an image of a Java style window being moved in a
+ QMdiArea with a rubber band:
+
+ \image javastyle/rubberbandimage.png
+
+ The style option for rubber bands is QStyleOptionRubberBand.
+ Its members are:
+
+ \table
+ \header
+ \o Member
+ \o Content
+ \row
+ \o opaque
+ \o boolean that is true if the rubber band must be
+ drawn in an opaque style (i.e., color)
+ \row
+ \o shape
+ \o a QRubberBand::Shape enum value that holds the
+ shape of the band (which is either a rectangle or a
+ line)
+ \endtable
+
+ \section3 Dock Widgets
+
+ When the dock widget lays out its contents it asks the style for
+ these pixel metrics: PM_DockWidgetSeparatorExtent,
+ PM_DockWidgetTitleBarButtonMargin, PM_DockWidgetFrameWidth, and
+ PM_DockWidgetTitleMargin. It also calculates the bounding
+ rectangles of the float and close buttons with
+ SE_DockWidgetCloseButton and SE_DockWidgetFloatButton.
+
+ \image javastyle/dockwidget.png
+
+ The dotted lines indicate that the sender keeps instances of the
+ recipient of the arrow (i.e., it is not a style element to draw).
+ The dock widget only draws PE_frameDockWidget when it is detached
+ from its main window (i.e., it is a top level window). If it is
+ docked it draws the indicator dock widget resize handle. We show a
+ dock widget in both docked and floating state in the plastique
+ style:
+
+ \image javastyle/dockwidgetimage.png
+
+ The style option is QStyleOptionDockWidget:
+
+ \table 90%
+ \header
+ \o Member
+ \o Content
+ \row
+ \o closeable
+ \o boolean that holds whether the dock window can be
+ closed
+ \row
+ \o floatable
+ \o boolean that holds whether the dock window can
+ float (i.e., detach from the main window in which
+ it lives)
+ \row
+ \o movable
+ \o boolean that holds whether the window is movable
+ (i.e., can move to other dock widget areas)
+ \row
+ \o title
+ \o the title text of the dock window
+ \endtable
+
+ For the buttons, QStyleOptionButton is used (see \l{Tool Buttons}
+ for content description). The dock widget resize handle has a
+ plain QStyleOption.

+
+ Qt Style Sheets are a powerful mechanism that allows you to
+ customize the appearance of widgets, in addition to what is
+ already possible by subclassing QStyle. The concepts,
+ terminology, and syntax of Qt Style Sheets are heavily inspired
+ by HTML \l{http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/}{Cascading Style Sheets
+ (CSS)} but adapted to the world of widgets.
+
+ Topics:
+
+ \list
+ \i \l{Overview}
+ \i \l{The Style Sheet Syntax}
+ \i \l{Qt Designer Integration}
+ \i \l{Customizing Qt Widgets Using Style Sheets}

+ \i \l{Qt Style Sheets Examples}
+ \endlist
+
+ \target overview
+ \section1 Overview
+
+ Styles sheets are textual specifications that can be set on the
+ whole application using QApplication::setStyleSheet() or on a
+ specific widget (and its children) using
+ QWidget::setStyleSheet(). If several style sheets are set at
+ different levels, Qt derives the effective style sheet from all
+ of those that are set. This is called cascading.
+
+ For example, the following style sheet specifies that all
+ \l{QLineEdit}s should use yellow as their background color, and
+ all \l{QCheckBox}es should use red as the text color:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 0
+
+ For this kind of customization, style sheets are much more
+ powerful than QPalette. For example, it might be tempting to set
+ the QPalette::Button role to red for a QPushButton to obtain a
+ red push button. However, this wasn't guaranteed to work for all
+ styles, because style authors are restricted by the different
+ platforms' guidelines and (on Windows XP and Mac OS X) by the
+ native theme engine.
+
+ Style sheets let you perform all kinds of customizations that are
+ difficult or impossible to perform using QPalette alone. If you
+ want yellow backgrounds for mandatory fields, red text for
+ potentially destructive push buttons, or fancy check boxes, style
+ sheets are the answer.
+
+ Style sheets are applied on top of the current \l{QStyle}{widget
+ style}, meaning that your applications will look as native as
+ possible, but any style sheet constraints will be taken into
+ consideration. Unlike palette fiddling, style sheets offer
+ guarantees: If you set the background color of a QPushButton to be
+ red, you can be assured that the button will have a red background
+ in all styles, on all platforms. In addition, \l{Qt Designer}
+ provides style sheet integration, making it easy to view the effects
+ of a style sheet in different \l{QStyle}{widget styles}.
+
+ In addition, style sheets can be used to provide a distinctive
+ look and feel for your application, without having to subclass
+ QStyle. For example, you can specify arbitrary images for radio
+ buttons and check boxes to make them stand out. Using this
+ technique, you can also achieve minor customizations that would
+ normally require subclassing several style classes, such as
+ specifying a \l{QStyle::styleHint()}{style hint}. The
+ \l{widgets/stylesheet}{Style Sheet} example depicted below defines
+ two distinctive style sheets that you can try out and modify at
+ will.

+ \row \o \inlineimage stylesheet-coffee-xp.png

+ \row \o \inlineimage stylesheet-coffee-cleanlooks.png
+ \o \inlineimage stylesheet-pagefold-mac.png
+ \row \o Coffee theme running on Ubuntu Linux
+ \o Pagefold theme running on Mac OS X
+ \endtable
+
+ When a style sheet is active, the QStyle returned by QWidget::style()
+ is a wrapper "style sheet" style, \e not the platform-specific style. The
+ wrapper style ensures that any active style sheet is respected and
+ otherwise forwards the drawing operations to the underlying,
+ platform-specific style (e.g., QWindowsXPStyle on Windows XP).
+
+ Since Qt 4.5, Qt style sheets fully supports Mac OS X.
+
+ \warning Qt style sheets are currently not supported for custom QStyle
+ subclasses. We plan to address this in some future release.

+ \nextpage Qt Designer Integration
+ \title The Style Sheet Syntax
+
+ Qt Style Sheet terminology and syntactic rules are almost
+ identical to those of HTML CSS. If you already know CSS, you can
+ probably skim quickly through this section.
+
+ \tableofcontents
+
+ \section1 Style Rules
+
+ Style sheets consist of a sequence of style rules. A \e{style
+ rule} is made up of a selector and a declaration. The
+ \e{selector} specifies which widgets are affected by the rule;
+ the \e{declaration} specifies which properties should be set on
+ the widget. For example:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 1
+
+ In the above style rule, \c QPushButton is the selector and \c{{
+ color: red }} is the declaration. The rule specifies that
+ QPushButton and its subclasses (e.g., \c MyPushButton) should use
+ red as their foreground color.
+
+ Qt Style Sheet is generally case insensitive (i.e., \c color,
+ \c Color, \c COLOR, and \c cOloR refer to the same property).
+ The only exceptions are class names,
+ \l{QObject::setObjectName()}{object names}, and Qt property
+ names, which are case sensitive.
+
+ Several selectors can be specified for the same declaration,
+ using commas (\c{,}) to separate the selectors. For example,
+ the rule
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 2
+
+ is equivalent to this sequence of three rules:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 3
+
+ The declaration part of a style rule is a list of
+ \tt{\e{property}: \e{value}} pairs, enclosed in braces (\c{{}})
+ and separated with semicolons. For example:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 4
+
+ See the \l{List of Properties} section below for the list of
+ properties provided by Qt widgets.
+
+ \section1 Selector Types
+
+ All the examples so far used the simplest type of selector, the
+ Type Selector. Qt Style Sheets support all the
+ \l{http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/selector.html#q1}{selectors
+ defined in CSS2}. The table below summarizes the most useful
+ types of selectors.
+
+ \table 100%
+ \header
+ \o Selector
+ \o Example
+ \o Explanation
+
+ \row
+ \o Universal Selector
+ \o \c *
+ \o Matches all widgets.
+
+ \row
+ \o Type Selector
+ \o \c QPushButton
+ \o Matches instances of QPushButton and of its subclasses.
+
+ \row
+ \o Property Selector
+ \o \c{QPushButton[flat="false"]}
+ \o Matches instances of QPushButton that are not
+ \l{QPushButton::}{flat}. You may use this selector to test
+ for any Qt property specified using Q_PROPERTY(). In
+ addition, the special \c class property is supported, for
+ the name of the class.
+
+ This selector may also be used to test dynamic properties.
+ For more information on customization using dynamic properties,
+ refer to \l{Customizing Using Dynamic Properties}.
+
+ Instead of \c =, you can also use \c ~= to test whether a
+ Qt property of type QStringList contains a given QString.
+
+ \warning If the value of the Qt property changes after the
+ style sheet has been set, it might be necessary to force a
+ style sheet recomputation. One way to achieve this is to
+ unset the style sheet and set it again.
+
+ \row
+ \o Class Selector
+ \o \c .QPushButton
+ \o Matches instances of QPushButton, but not of its subclasses.
+
+ This is equivalent to \c{*[class~="QPushButton"]}.
+
+ \row
+ \o ID \target ID Selector
+ Selector
+ \o \c{QPushButton#okButton}
+ \o Matches all QPushButton instances whose
+ \l{QObject::objectName}{object name} is \c okButton.
+
+ \row
+ \o Descendant Selector
+ \o \c{QDialog QPushButton}
+ \o Matches all instances of QPushButton that are descendants
+ (children, grandchildren, etc.) of a QDialog.
+
+ \row
+ \o Child Selector
+ \o \c{QDialog > QPushButton}
+ \o Matches all instances of QPushButton that are direct
+ children of a QDialog.
+ \endtable
+
+ \section1 Sub-Controls
+
+ For styling complex widgets, it is necessary to access subcontrols of the
+ widget, such as the drop-down button of a QComboBox or the up and down
+ arrows of a QSpinBox. Selectors may contain \e{subcontrols} that make it
+ possible to restrict the application of a rule to specific widget
+ subcontrols. For example:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 5
+
+ The above rule styles the drop-down button of all \l{QComboBox}es.
+ Although the double-colon (\c{::}) syntax is reminiscent of CSS3
+ Pseudo-Elements, Qt Sub-Controls differ conceptually from these and have
+ different cascading semantics.
+
+ Sub-controls are always positioned with respect to another element - a
+ reference element. This reference element could be the widget or another
+ Sub-control. For example, the \l{Qt Style Sheets Reference#drop-down-sub}
+ {::drop-down} of a QComboBox is placed, by default, in the top right corner
+ of the Padding rectangle of the QComboBox. The
+ \l{Qt Style Sheets Reference#drop-down-sub}{::drop-down} is placed,
+ by default, in the Center of the Contents rectangle of the
+ \l{Qt Style Sheets Reference#drop-down-sub}{::drop-down} Sub-control. See
+ the \l{List of Stylable Widgets} below for the Sub-controls to use to
+ style a widget and their default positions.
+
+ The origin rectangle to be used can be changed using the
+ \l{Qt Style Sheets Reference#subcontrol-origin-prop}{subcontrol-origin}
+ property. For example, if we want to place the drop-down in the margin
+ rectangle of the QComboBox instead of the default Padding rectangle, we
+ can specify:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 6
+
+ The alignment of the drop-down within the Margin rectangle is changed
+ using \l{Qt Style Sheets Reference#subcontrol-position-prop}
+ {subcontrol-position} property.
+
+ The \l{Qt Style Sheets Reference#width-prop}{width} and
+ \l{Qt Style Sheets Reference#height-prop}{height} properties can be used
+ to control the size of the Sub-control. Note that setting a
+ \l{Qt Style Sheets Reference#image-prop}{image} implicitly sets the size
+ of a Sub-control.
+
+ The relative positioning scheme
+ (\l{Qt Style Sheets Reference#position-prop}{position} : relative),
+ allows the position of the Sub-Control to be offset from its initial
+ position. For example, when the QComboBox's drop-down button is
+ pressed, we might like the arrow inside to be offset to give a
+ "pressed" effect. To achieve this, we can specify:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 7
+
+ The absolute positioning scheme
+ (\l{Qt Style Sheets Reference#position-prop}{position} : absolute),
+ allows the position and size of the Sub-control to be changed with
+ respect to the reference element.
+
+ Once positioned, they are treated the same as widgets and can be styled
+ using the \l{box model}.
+
+ See the \l{List of Sub-Controls} below for a list of supported
+ sub-controls, and \l{Customizing the QPushButton's Menu Indicator
+ Sub-Control} for a realistic example.
+
+ \note With complex widgets such as QComboBox and QScrollBar, if one
+ property or sub-control is customized, \bold{all} the other properties or
+ sub-controls must be customized as well.
+
+ \section1 Pseudo-States
+
+ Selectors may contain \e{pseudo-states} that denote that restrict
+ the application of the rule based on the widget's state.
+ Pseudo-states appear at the end of the selector, with a colon
+ (\c{:}) in between. For example, the following rule applies when
+ the mouse hovers over a QPushButton:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 8
+
+ Pseudo-states can be negated using the exclamation operator. For
+ example, the following rule applies when the mouse does not hover
+ over a QRadioButton:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 9
+
+ Pseudo-states can be chained, in which case a logical AND is
+ implied. For example, the following rule applies to when the
+ mouse hovers over a checked QCheckBox:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 10
+
+ Negated Pseudo-states may appear in Pseudo-state chains. For example,
+ the following rule applies when the mouse hovers over a QPushButton
+ that is not pressed:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 11
+
+ If needed, logical OR can be expressed using the comma operator:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 12
+
+ Pseudo-states can appear in combination with subcontrols. For
+ example:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 13
+
+ See the \l{List of Pseudo-States} section below for the list of
+ pseudo-states provided by Qt widgets.
+
+ \section1 Conflict Resolution
+
+ Conflicts arise when several style rules specify the same
+ properties with different values. Consider the following style
+ sheet:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 14
+
+ Both rules match QPushButton instances called \c okButton and
+ there is a conflict for the \c color property. To resolve this
+ conflict, we must take into account the \e specificity of the
+ selectors. In the above example, \c{QPushButton#okButton} is
+ considered more specific than \c QPushButton, because it
+ (usually) refers to a single object, not to all instances of a
+ class.
+
+ Similarly, selectors with pseudo-states are more specific than
+ ones that do not specify pseudo-states. Thus, the following style
+ sheet specifies that a \l{QPushButton} should have white text
+ when the mouse is hovering over it, otherwise red text:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 15
+
+ Here's a tricky one:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 16
+
+ Here, both selectors have the same specificity, so if the mouse
+ hovers over the button while it is enabled, the second rule takes
+ precedence. If we want the text to be white in that case, we can
+ reorder the rules like this:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 17
+
+ Alternatively, we can make the first rule more specific:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 18
+
+ A similar issue arises in conjunction with Type Selectors.
+ Consider the following example:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 19
+
+ Both rules apply to QPushButton instances (since QPushButton
+ inherits QAbstractButton) and there is a conflict for the
+ \l{Qt Style Sheets Reference#color-prop}{color} property. Because QPushButton
+ inherits QAbstractButton, it might be tempting to assume that
+ \c QPushButton is more specific than \c QAbstractButton. However,
+ for style sheet computations, all Type Selectors have the same
+ specificity, and the rule that appears last takes precedence. In
+ other words, \l{Qt Style Sheets Reference#color-prop}{color} is set to \c gray
+ for all \l{QAbstractButton}s, including \l{QPushButton}s. If we really
+ want \l{QPushButton}s to have red text, we can always reorder the
+ rules.
+
+ For determining the specificity of a rule, Qt Style Sheets follow
+ the
+ \l{http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/cascade.html#specificity}{CSS2
+ Specification}:
+
+ \quotation
+ \e{A selector's specificity is calculated as follows:}
+
+ \list
+ \o \e{count the number of ID attributes in the selector (= a)}
+ \o \e{count the number of other attributes and pseudo-classes in the selector (= b)}
+ \o \e{count the number of element names in the selector (= c)}
+ \o \e{ignore pseudo-elements [i.e., \l{subcontrols}].}
+ \endlist
+
+ \e{Concatenating the three numbers a-b-c (in a number system with a
+ large base) gives the specificity.}
+
+ \e{Some examples:}
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 20
+ \endquotation
+
+ \section1 Cascading
+
+ Style sheets can be set on the QApplication, on parent widgets,
+ and on child widgets. An arbitrary widget's effective style sheet
+ is obtained by merging the style sheets set on the widget's
+ ancestors (parent, grandparent, etc.), as well as any style sheet
+ set on the QApplication.
+
+ When conflicts arise, the widget's own style sheet is always
+ preferred to any inherited style sheet, irrespective of the
+ specificity of the conflicting rules. Likewise, the parent
+ widget's style sheet is preferred to the grandparent's, etc.
+
+ One consequence of this is that setting a style rule on a widget
+ automatically gives it precedence over other rules specified in
+ the ancestor widgets' style sheets or the QApplication style
+ sheet. Consider the following example. First, we set a style
+ sheet on the QApplication:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 21
+
+ Then we set a style sheet on a QPushButton object:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 22
+
+ The style sheet on the QPushButton forces the QPushButton (and
+ any child widget) to have blue text, in spite of the more
+ specific rule set provided by the application-wide style sheet.
+
+ The result would have been the same if we had written
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 23
+
+ except that if the QPushButton had children (which is unlikely),
+ the style sheet would have no impact on them.
+
+ Style sheet cascading is a complex topic. Refer to the
+ \l{http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/cascade.html#cascade}{CSS2
+ Specification} for the gory details. Be aware that Qt currently
+ doesn't implement \c{!important}.
+
+ \section1 Inheritance
+
+ In classic CSS, when font and color of an item is not explicitly set,
+ it gets automatically inherited from the parent. When using Qt Style Sheets,
+ a widget does \bold{not} automatically inherit its font and color setting
+ from its parent widget.
+
+ For example, consider a QPushButton inside a QGroupBox:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 24
+
+ The QPushButton does not have an explicit color set. Hence, instead
+ of inheriting color of its parent QGroupBox, it has the system color.
+ If we want to set the color on a QGroupBox and its children,
+ we can write:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 25
+
+ In contrast, setting a font and propagate using QWidget::setFont() and
+ QWidget::setPalette() propagates to child widgets.
+
+ \section1 Widgets inside C++ namespaces
+
+ The Type Selector can be used to style widgets of a particular type. For
+ example,
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 26
+
+ Qt Style Sheet uses QObject::className() of the widget to determine
+ when to apply the Type Selector. When custom widgets are inside namespaces,
+ the QObject::className() returns <namespace>::<classname>. This conflicts
+ with the syntax for \l{Sub-Controls}. To overcome this problem,
+ when using the Type Selector for widgets inside namespaces, we must
+ replace the "::" with "--". For example,
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 27
+
+ \section1 Setting QObject properties
+
+ From 4.3 and above, any designable Q_PROPERTY
+ can be set using the qproperty-<property name> syntax.
+
+ For example,
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 28
+
+ If the property references an enum declared with Q_ENUMS, you should
+ reference its constants by name, i.e., not their numeric value.

+
+ When using style sheets, every widget is treated as a box with four
+ concentric rectangles: the margin rectangle, the border rectangle, the
+ padding rectangle, and the content rectangle. The box model describes
+ this in further detail.
+
+ \tableofcontents
+
+ \target box model
+ \section1 The Box Model
+
+ The four concentric rectangles appear conceptually as below:
+
+ \image stylesheet-boxmodel.png
+
+ \list
+ \o The margin falls outside the border.
+ \o The border is drawn between the margin and the padding.
+ \o The padding falls inside the border, between the border and
+ the actual contents.
+ \o The content is what is left from the original widget or
+ subcontrol once we have removed the margin, the border, and
+ the padding.
+ \endlist
+
+ The \l{Qt Style Sheets Reference#margin-prop}{margin},
+ \l{Qt Style Sheets Reference#border-width-prop}
+ {border-width}, and
+ \l{Qt Style Sheets Reference#padding-prop}{padding}
+ properties all default to zero. In that case, all four rectangles
+ (\c margin, \c border, \c padding, and \c content) coincide exactly.
+
+ You can specify a background for the widget using the
+ \l{Qt Style Sheets Reference#background-image-prop}{background-image}
+ property. By default, the background-image is drawn only for the area
+ inside the border. This can be changed using the
+ \l{Qt Style Sheets Reference#background-clip-prop}{background-clip}
+ property. You can use
+ \l{Qt Style Sheets Reference#background-repeat-prop}{background-repeat}
+ and
+ \l{Qt Style Sheets Reference#background-origin-prop}{background-origin}
+ to control the repetition and origin of the background image.
+
+ A background-image does not scale with the size of the widget. To provide
+ a "skin" or background that scales along with the widget size, one must
+ use
+ \l{Qt Style Sheets Reference#border-image-prop}{border-image}. Since the
+ border-image property provides an alternate background, it is not required
+ to specify a background-image when border-image is specified. In the case,
+ when both of them are specified, the border-image draws over the
+ background-image.
+
+ In addition, the \l{Qt Style Sheets Reference#image-prop}{image} property
+ may be used to draw an image over the border-image. The image specified does
+ not tile or stretch and when its size does not match the size of the widget,
+ its alignment is specified using the
+ \l{Qt Style Sheets Reference#image-position-prop}{image-position}
+ property. Unlike background-image and border-image, one may specify a
+ SVG in the image property, in which case the image is scaled automatically
+ according to the widget size.
+
+ The steps to render a rule are as follows:
+ \list
+ \o Set clip for entire rendering operation (border-radius)
+ \o Draw the background (background-image)
+ \o Draw the border (border-image, border)
+ \o Draw overlay image (image)
+ \endlist
+
+ \target sub controls
+ \section1 Sub-controls
+
+ A widget is considered as a hierarchy (tree) of subcontrols drawn on top
+ of each other. For example, the QComboBox draws the drop-down sub-control
+ followed by the down-arrow sub-control. A QComboBox is thus rendered as
+ follows:
+ \list
+ \o Render the QComboBox { } rule
+ \o Render the QComboBox::drop-down { } rule
+ \o Render the QComboBox::down-arrow { } rule
+ \endlist
+
+ Sub-controls share a parent-child relationship. In the case of QComboBox,
+ the parent of down-arrow is the drop-down and the parent of drop-down is
+ the widget itself. Sub-controls are positioned within their parent using
+ the \l{Qt Style Sheets Reference#subcontrol-position-prop}
+ {subcontrol-position} and
+ \l{Qt Style Sheets Reference#subcontrol-origin-prop}{subcontrol-origin}
+ properties.
+
+ Once positioned, sub-controls can be styled using the \l{box model}.
+
+ \note With complex widgets such as QComboBox and QScrollBar, if one
+ property or sub-control is customized, \bold{all} the other properties or
+ sub-controls must be customized as well.

+ \contentspage {Qt Style Sheet}{Contents}
+ \previouspage Qt Style Sheets Reference
+ \title Qt Style Sheets Examples
+
+ We will now see a few examples to get started with using Qt Style Sheets.
+
+ \tableofcontents
+ \section1 Style Sheet Usage
+
+ \section2 Customizing the Foreground and Background Colors
+
+ Let's start by setting yellow as the background color of all
+ \l{QLineEdit}s in an application. This could be achieved like
+ this:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 88
+
+ If we want the property to apply only to the \l{QLineEdit}s that are
+ children (or grandchildren or grand-grandchildren) of a specific dialog,
+ we would rather do this:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 89
+
+ If we want the property to apply only to one specific QLineEdit,
+ we can give it a name using QObject::setObjectName() and use an
+ ID Selector to refer to it:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 90
+
+ Alternatively, we can set the
+ \l{Qt Style Sheets Reference#background-prop}{background-color} property directly on the
+ QLineEdit, omitting the selector:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 91
+
+ To ensure a good contrast, we should also specify a suitable
+ color for the text:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 92
+
+ It might be a good idea to change the colors used for selected
+ text as well:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 93
+
+
+ \section2 Customizing Using Dynamic Properties
+
+ There are many situations where we need to present a form that
+ has mandatory fields. To indicate to the user that the field is
+ mandatory, one effective (albeit esthetically dubious) solution
+ is to use yellow as the background color for those fields. It
+ turns out this is very easy to implement using Qt Style Sheets.
+ First, we would use the following application-wide style sheet:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 94
+
+ This means that every widget whose \c mandatoryField Qt property
+ is set to true would have a yellow background.
+
+ Then, for each mandatory field widget, we would simply create a
+ \c mandatoryField property on the fly and set it to true. For
+ example:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 95
+
+ \section2 Customizing a QPushButton Using the Box Model
+
+ This time, we will show how to create a red QPushButton. This
+ QPushButton would presumably be connected to a very destructive
+ piece of code.
+
+ First, we are tempted to use this style sheet:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 96
+
+ However, the result is a boring, flat button with no borders:
+
+ \image stylesheet-redbutton1.png A flat red button
+
+ What happened is this:
+
+ \list
+ \o We have made a request that cannot be satisfied using the
+ native styles alone (e.g., the Windows XP theme engine doesn't
+ let us specify the background color of a button).
+ \o Therefore, the button is rendered using style sheets.
+ \o We haven't specified any values for
+ \l{Qt Style Sheets Reference#border-width-prop}{border-width} and
+ \l{Qt Style Sheets Reference#border-style-prop}{border-style}, so by default we obtain
+ a 0-pixel wide border of style \c none.
+ \endlist
+
+ Let's improve the situation by specifying a border:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 97
+
+ \image stylesheet-redbutton2.png A red button with a beige border
+
+ Things look already a lot better. But the button looks a bit
+ cramped. Let's specify some spacing between the border and the
+ text using the \l{Qt Style Sheets Reference#padding-prop}{padding}. Additionally, we will
+ enforce a minimum width, round the corners, and specify a larger
+ font to make the button look nicer:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 98
+
+ \image stylesheet-redbutton3.png A red button with a round beige border and big, bold text
+
+ The only issue remaining is that the button doesn't react when we
+ press it. We can fix this by specifying a slightly different
+ background color and use a different border style.
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 99
+
+ \section2 Customizing the QPushButton's Menu Indicator Sub-Control
+
+ Subcontrols give access to the sub-elements of a widget. For
+ example, a QPushButton associated with a menu (using
+ QPushButton::setMenu()) has a menu indicator. Let's customize
+ the menu indicator for the red push button:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 100
+
+ By default, the menu indicator is located at the bottom-right
+ corner of the padding rectangle. We can change this by specifying
+ \l{Qt Style Sheets Reference#subcontrol-position-prop}{subcontrol-position} and
+ \l{Qt Style Sheets Reference#subcontrol-origin-prop}{subcontrol-origin} to anchor the
+ indicator differently. We can also use \l{Qt Style Sheets Reference#top-prop}{top} and
+ \l{Qt Style Sheets Reference#left-prop}{left} to move the indicator by a few pixels. For
+ example:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 101
+
+ This positions the \c myindicator.png to the center right of the
+ QPushButton's \l{Qt Style Sheets Reference#padding-prop}{padding} rectangle (see
+ \l{Qt Style Sheets Reference#subcontrol-origin-prop}{subcontrol-origin} for more
+ information).
+
+ \section2 Complex Selector Example
+
+ Since red seems to be our favorite color, let's make the text in
+ QLineEdit red by setting the following application-wide
+ stylesheet:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 102
+
+ However, we would like to give a visual indication that a
+ QLineEdit is read-only by making it appear gray:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 103
+
+ At some point, our design team comes with the requirement that
+ all \l{QLineEdit}s in the registration form (with the
+ \l{QObject::objectName}{object name} \c registrationDialog) to be
+ brown:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 104
+
+ A few UI design meetings later, we decide that all our
+ \l{QDialog}s should have brown colored \l{QLineEdit}s:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 105
+
+ Quiz: What happens if we have a read-only QLineEdit in a QDialog?
+ [Hint: The \l{The Style Sheet Syntax#Conflict Resolution}{Conflict Resolution} section above explains
+ what happens in cases like this.]
+
+ \section1 Customizing specific widgets
+
+ This section provides examples to customize specific widgets using Style Sheets.
+
+ \section2 Customizing QAbstractScrollArea
+
+ The background of any QAbstractScrollArea (Item views, QTextEdit
+ and QTextBrowser) can be set using the background properties. For example,
+ to set a background-image that scrolls with the scroll bar:
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 106
+
+ If the background-image is to be fixed with the viewport:
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 107
+
+ \section2 Customizing QCheckBox
+
+ Styling of a QCheckBox is almost indentical to styling a QRadioButton. The
+ main difference is that a tristate QCheckBox has an indeterminate state.
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 108
+
+ \section2 Customizing QComboBox
+
+ We will look at an example where the drop down button of a QComboBox
+ appears "merged" with the combo box frame.
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 109
+
+ The pop-up of the QComboBox is a QAbstractItemView and is styled using
+ the descendant selector:
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 110
+
+ \section2 Customizing QDockWidget
+
+ The title bar and the buttons of a QDockWidget can be customized as
+ follows:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 111
+
+ If one desires to move the dock widget buttons to the left, the following
+ style sheet can be used:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 112
+
+ \note To customize the separator (resize handle) of a QDockWidget,
+ use QMainWindow::separator.
+
+ \section2 Customizing QFrame
+
+ A QFrame is styled using the \l{The Box Model}.
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 113
+
+ \section2 Customizing QGroupBox
+
+ Let us look at an example that moves the QGroupBox's title to
+ the center.
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 114
+
+ For a checkable QGroupBox, use the \{#indicator-sub}{::indicator} subcontrol
+ and style it exactly like a QCheckBox (i.e)
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 115
+
+ \section2 Customizing QHeaderView
+
+ QHeaderView is customized as follows:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 116
+
+ \section2 Customizing QLineEdit
+
+ The frame of a QLineEdit is styled using the \l{The Box Model}. To
+ create a line edit with rounded corners, we can set:
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 117
+
+ The password character of line edits that have QLineEdit::Password
+ echo mode can be set using:
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 118
+
+ The background of a read only QLineEdit can be modified as below:
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 119
+
+ \section2 Customizing QListView
+
+ The background color of alternating rows can be customized using the following
+ style sheet:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 120
+
+ To provide a special background when you hover over items, we can use the
+ \l{item-sub}{::item} subcontrol. For example,
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 121
+
+ \section2 Customizing QMainWindow
+
+ The separator of a QMainWindow can be styled as follows:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 122
+
+ \section2 Customizing QMenu
+
+ Individual items of a QMenu are styled using the 'item' subcontrol as
+ follows:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 123
+
+ For a more advanced customization, use a style sheet as follows:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 124
+
+ \section2 Customizing QMenuBar
+
+ QMenuBar is styled as follows:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 125
+
+ \section2 Customizing QProgressBar
+
+ The QProgressBar's \l{stylesheet-reference.html#border-prop}{border},
+ \l{stylesheet-reference.html#chunk-sub}{chunk}, and
+ \l{stylesheet-reference.html#text-align-prop}{text-align} can be customized using
+ style sheets. However, if one property or sub-control is customized,
+ all the other properties or sub-controls must be customized as well.
+
+ \image progressBar-stylesheet.png
+
+ For example, we change the \l{stylesheet-reference.html#border-prop}
+ {border} to grey and the \l{stylesheet-reference.html#chunk-sub}{chunk}
+ to cerulean.
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 126
+
+ This leaves the \l{stylesheet-reference.html#text-align-prop}
+ {text-align}, which we customize by positioning the text in the center of
+ the progress bar.
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 127
+
+ A \l{stylesheet-reference.html#margin-prop}{margin} can be included to
+ obtain more visible chunks.
+
+ \image progressBar2-stylesheet.png
+
+ In the screenshot above, we use a
+ \l{stylesheet-reference.html#margin-prop}{margin} of 0.5 pixels.
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 128
+
+ \section2 Customizing QPushButton
+
+ A QPushButton is styled as follows:
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 129
+
+ For a QPushButton with a menu, use the
+ \l{Qt Style Sheets Reference#menu-indicator-sub}{::menu-indicator}
+ subcontrol.
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 130
+
+ Checkable QPushButton have the \l{Qt Style Sheets Reference#checked-ps}
+ {:checked} pseudo state set.
+
+ \section2 Customizing QRadioButton
+
+ The indicator of a QRadioButton can be changed using:
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 131
+
+ \section2 Customizing QScrollBar
+
+ The QScrollBar can be styled using its subcontrols like
+ \l{stylesheet-reference.html#handle-sub}{handle},
+ \l{stylesheet-reference.html#add-line-sub}{add-line},
+ \l{stylesheet-reference.html#sub-line-sub}{sub-line}, and so on. Note that
+ if one property or sub-control is customized, all the other properties or
+ sub-controls must be customized as well.
+
+ \image stylesheet-scrollbar1.png
+
+ The scroll bar above has been styled in aquamarine with a solid grey
+ border.
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 132
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 133
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 134
+
+ The \l{stylesheet-reference.html#left-arrow-sub}{left-arrow} and
+ \l{stylesheet-reference.html#right-arrow-sub}{right-arrow} have a solid grey
+ border with a white background. As an alternative, you could also embed the
+ image of an arrow.
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 135
+
+ If you want the scroll buttons of the scroll bar to be placed together
+ (instead of the edges) like on Mac OS X, you can use the following
+ stylesheet:
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 136
+
+ The scroll bar using the above stylesheet looks like this:
+ \image stylesheet-scrollbar2.png
+
+
+ To customize a vertical scroll bar use a style sheet similar to the following:
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 137
+
+ \section2 Customizing QSizeGrip
+
+ QSizeGrip is usually styled by just setting an image.
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 138
+
+ \section2 Customizing QSlider
+
+ You can style horizontal slider as below:
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 139
+
+ If you want to change the color of the slider parts before and after the handle, you can use the add-page
+ and sub-page subcontrols. For example, for a vertical slider:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 140
+
+ \section2 Customizing QSpinBox
+
+ QSpinBox can be completely customized as below (the style sheet has commentary inline):
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 141
+
+
+ \section2 Customizing QSplitter
+
+ A QSplitter derives from a QFrame and hence can be styled like a QFrame.
+ The grip or the handle is customized using the
+ \l{Qt Style Sheets Reference#handle-sub}{::handle} subcontrol.
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 142
+
+ \section2 Customizing QStatusBar
+
+ We can provide a background for the status bar and a border for items
+ inside the status bar as follows:
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 143
+
+ Note that widgets that have been added to the QStatusBar can be styled
+ using the descendant declaration (i.e)
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 144
+
+ \section2 Customizing QTabWidget and QTabBar
+
+ \image tabWidget-stylesheet1.png
+
+ For the screenshot above, we need a stylesheet as follows:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 145
+
+ Often we require the tabs to overlap to look like below:
+ \image tabWidget-stylesheet2.png
+
+ For a tab widget that looks like above, we make use of
+ \l{http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?cid=B0029}
+ {negative margins}. The resulting stylesheet looks like this:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 146
+
+ To move the tab bar to the center (as below), we require the following stylesheet:
+ \image tabWidget-stylesheet3.png
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 147
+
+ The tear indicator and the scroll buttons can be further customized as follows:
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 148
+
+ \section2 Customizing QTableView
+
+ Suppose we'd like our selected item in QTableView to have bubblegum pink
+ fade to white as its background.
+
+ \image tableWidget-stylesheet.png
+
+ This is possible with the
+ \l{stylesheet-reference.html#selection-background-color-prop}
+ {selection-background-color} property and the syntax required is:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 149
+
+ The corner widget can be customized using the following style sheet
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 150
+
+ \section2 Customizing QToolBar
+
+ The background and the handle of a QToolBar is customized as below:
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 151
+
+ \section2 Customizing QToolBox
+
+ The tabs of the QToolBox are customized using the 'tab' subcontrol.
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 152
+
+ \section2 Customizing QToolButton
+
+ There are three types of QToolButtons.
+ \list
+ \i The QToolButton has no menu. In this case, the QToolButton is styled
+ exactly like QPushButton. See
+ \l{#Customizing QPushButton}{Customizing QPushButton} for an
+ example.
+
+ \i The QToolButton has a menu and has the QToolButton::popupMode set to
+ QToolButton::DelayedPopup or QToolButton::InstantPopup. In this case,
+ the QToolButton is styled exactly like a QPushButton with a menu.
+ See \l{#Customizing QPushButton}{Customizing QPushButton} for an
+ example of the usage of the menu-indicator pseudo state.
+
+ \i The QToolButton has its QToolButton::popupMode set to
+ QToolButton::MenuButtonPopup. In this case, we style it as follows:
+ \endlist
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 153
+
+
+ \section2 Customizing QToolTip
+
+ QToolTip is customized exactly like a QLabel. In addition, for platforms
+ that support it, the opacity property may be set to adjust the opacity.
+
+ For example,
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 154
+
+ \section2 Customizing QTreeView
+
+ The background color of alternating rows can be customized using the following
+ style sheet:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 155
+
+ To provide a special background when you hover over items, we can use the
+ \l{item-sub}{::item} subcontrol. For example,
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 156
+
+ The branches of a QTreeView are styled using the
+ \l{Qt Style Sheets Reference#branch-sub}{::branch} subcontrol. The
+ following stylesheet color codes the various states when drawing
+ a branch.
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 157
+
+ Colorful, though it is, a more useful example can be made using the
+ following images:
+
+ \table
+ \row
+ \o \inlineimage stylesheet-vline.png
+ \o \inlineimage stylesheet-branch-more.png
+ \o \inlineimage stylesheet-branch-end.png
+ \o \inlineimage stylesheet-branch-closed.png
+ \o \inlineimage stylesheet-branch-open.png
+ \row
+ \o vline.png
+ \o branch-more.png
+ \o branch-end.png
+ \o branch-closed.png
+ \o branch-open.png
+ \endtable
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_stylesheet.qdoc 158
+
+ The resulting tree view looks like this:
+
+ \image stylesheet-treeview.png
+
+ \sa {Style Sheet Example}, {Supported HTML Subset}, QStyle
+
+
+ \section1 Common mistakes
+
+ This section lists some common mistakes when using stylesheets.
+
+ \section2 QPushButton and images
+
+ When styling a QPushButton, it is often desirable to use an image as the
+ button graphic. It is common to try the
+ \l{Qt Style Sheets Reference#background-image-prop}{background-image}
+ property,
+ but this has a number of drawbacks: For instance, the background will
+ often appear hidden behind the button decoration, because it is not
+ considered a background. In addition, if the button is resized, the
+ entire background will be stretched or tiled, which does not
+ always look good.
+
+ It is better to use the
+ \l{Qt Style Sheets Reference#border-image-prop}{border-image}
+ property, as it will always display the image,
+ regardless of the background (you can combine it with a background if it
+ has alpha values in it), and it has special settings to deal with button
+ resizing.
+
+ Consider the following snippet:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/stylesheet/common-mistakes.cpp 1
+
+ This will produce a button looking like this:
+
+ \image stylesheet-border-image-normal.png
+
+ The numbers after the url gives the top, right, bottom and left number of
+ pixels, respectively. These numbers correspond to the border and should not
+ stretch when the size changes.
+ Whenever you resize the button, the middle part of the image will stretch
+ in both directions, while the pixels specified in the stylesheet
+ will not. This makes the borders of the button look more natural, like
+ this:
+
+ \table
+ \row
+ \o \inlineimage stylesheet-border-image-stretched.png
+ \row
+ \o With borders
+ \endtable
+
+ \table
+ \row
+ \o \inlineimage stylesheet-border-image-wrong.png
+ \row
+ \o Without borders
+ \endtable
+

+ \nextpage Widget Classes
+
+ The primary elements for designing user interfaces in Qt are widgets and layouts.
+
+ \section1 Widgets
+
+ \l{Widget Classes}{Widgets} can display data and status information, receive
+ user input, and provide a container for other widgets that should be grouped
+ together. A widget that is not embedded in a parent widget is called a
+ \l{Application Windows and Dialogs}{window}.
+
+ \image parent-child-widgets.png A parent widget containing various child widgets.
+
+ The QWidget class provides the basic capability to render to the screen, and to
+ handle user input events. All UI elements that Qt provides are either subclasses
+ of QWidget, or are used in connection with a QWidget subclass. Creating custom
+ widgets is done by subclassing QWidget or a suitable subclass and reimplementing
+ the virtual event handlers.
+
+ \section1 Layouts
+
+ \l{Layout Management}{Layouts} are an elegant and flexible way to automatically
+ arrange child widgets within their container. Each widget reports its size requirements
+ to the layout through the \l{QWidget::}{sizeHint} and \l{QWidget::}{sizePolicy}
+ properties, and the layout distributes the available space accordingly.
+
+ \table
+ \row
+ \o \image qgridlayout-with-5-children.png
+ \o \image qformlayout-with-6-children.png
+ \endtable
+
+ \l{Qt Designer Manual}{\QD} is a powerful tool for interactively creating and
+ arranging widgets in layouts.
+
+ \section1 Widget Styles
+
+ \l{Implementing Styles and Style Aware Widgets}{Styles} draw on behalf of widgets
+ and encapsulate the look and feel of a GUI. Qt's built-in widgets use the QStyle
+ class to perform nearly all of their drawing, ensuring that they look exactly like
+ the equivalent native widgets.

+
+ \l{Qt Style Sheets} are a powerful mechanism that allows you to customize the
+ appearance of widgets, in addition to what is already possible by subclassing QStyle.
