We enable \l{QXmlStreamWriter}'s auto-formatting property to ensure line-breaks and indentations are added automatically to empty sections between elements, increasing readability as the data is split into several lines. \snippet examples/xml/streambookmarks/xbelwriter.cpp 0 The \c writeFile() function accepts a QIODevice object and sets it using \c setDevice(). This function then writes the document type definition(DTD), the start element, the version, and \c{treeWidget}'s top-level items. \snippet examples/xml/streambookmarks/xbelwriter.cpp 1 The \c writeItem() function accepts a QTreeWidget object and writes it to the stream, depending on its \c tagName, which can either be a "folder", "bookmark", or "separator". \snippet examples/xml/streambookmarks/xbelwriter.cpp 2 \section1 XbelReader Class Definition The \c XbelReader class is a subclass of QXmlStreamReader, the pendent class for QXmlStreamWriter. \c XbelReader contains a private instance of QTreeWidget to group bookmarks according to their hierarchies. \snippet examples/xml/streambookmarks/xbelreader.h 0 \section1 XbelReader Class Implementation The \c XbelReader constructor accepts a QTreeWidget to initialize the \c treeWidget within its definition. A QStyle object is used to set \c{treeWidget}'s style property. The \c folderIcon is set to QIcon::Normal mode where the pixmap is only displayed when the user is not interacting with the icon. The QStyle::SP_DirClosedIcon, QStyle::SP_DirOpenIcon, and QStyle::SP_FileIcon correspond to standard pixmaps that follow the style of your GUI. \snippet examples/xml/streambookmarks/xbelreader.cpp 0 The \c read() function accepts a QIODevice and sets it using \l{QXmlStreamReader::setDevice()}{setDevice()}. The actual process of reading only takes place if the file is a valid XBEL 1.0 file. Note that the XML input needs to be well-formed to be accepted by QXmlStreamReader. Otherwise, the \l{QXmlStreamReader::raiseError()} {raiseError()} function is used to display an error message. Since the XBEL reader is only concerned with reading XML elements, it makes extensive use of the \l{QXmlStreamReader::readNextStartElement()} convenience function. \snippet examples/xml/streambookmarks/xbelreader.cpp 1 The \c readXBEL() function reads the name of a startElement and calls the appropriate function to read it, depending on whether if its a "folder", "bookmark" or "separator". Otherwise, it calls \l{QXmlStreamReader::skipCurrentElement()}. The Q_ASSERT() macro is used to provide a pre-condition for the function. \snippet examples/xml/streambookmarks/xbelreader.cpp 3 The \c readTitle() function reads the bookmark's title. \snippet examples/xml/streambookmarks/xbelreader.cpp 4 The \c readSeparator() function creates a separator and sets its flags. The text is set to 30 "0xB7", the HEX equivalent for period, and then read using \c readElementText(). \snippet examples/xml/streambookmarks/xbelreader.cpp 5 \section1 MainWindow Class Definition The \c MainWindow class is a subclass of QMainWindow, with a \c File menu and a \c Help menu. \snippet examples/xml/streambookmarks/mainwindow.h 0 \section1 MainWindow Class Implementation The \c MainWindow constructor instantiates the QTreeWidget object, \c treeWidget and sets its header with a QStringList object, \c labels. The constructor also invokes \c createActions() and \c createMenus() to set up the menus and their corresponding actions. The \c statusBar() is used to display the message "Ready" and the window's size is fixed to 480x320 pixels. \snippet examples/xml/streambookmarks/mainwindow.cpp 0 The \c open() function enables the user to open an XBEL file using QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(). A warning message is displayed along with the \c fileName and \c errorString if the file cannot be read or if there is a parse error. \snippet examples/xml/streambookmarks/mainwindow.cpp 1 The \c saveAs() function displays a QFileDialog, prompting the user for a \c fileName using QFileDialog::getSaveFileName(). Similar to the \c open() function, this function also displays a warning message if the file cannot be written to. \snippet examples/xml/streambookmarks/mainwindow.cpp 2 The \c about() function displays a QMessageBox with a brief description of the example. \snippet examples/xml/streambookmarks/mainwindow.cpp 3 In order to implement the \c open(), \c saveAs(), \c exit(), \c about() and \c aboutQt() functions, we connect them to QAction objects and add them to the \c fileMenu and \c helpMenu. The connections are as shown below: \snippet examples/xml/streambookmarks/mainwindow.cpp 4 The \c createMenus() function creates the \c fileMenu and \c helpMenu and adds the QAction objects to them in order to create the menu shown in the screenshot below: \table \row \o \inlineimage xmlstreamexample-filemenu.png \o \inlineimage xmlstreamexample-helpmenu.png \endtable \snippet examples/xml/streambookmarks/mainwindow.cpp 5 \section1 \c{main()} Function The \c main() function instantiates \c MainWindow and invokes the \c show() function. \snippet examples/xml/streambookmarks/main.cpp 0 See the \l{http://pyxml.sourceforge.net/topics/xbel/} {XML Bookmark Exchange Language Resource Page} for more information about XBEL files. */
