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