Sample text

We will begin with the Find dialog. Since we want the user to be able to switch between the main Spreadsheet window and the Find dialog at will, the Find dialog must be modeless. A modeless window is one that runs independently of any other windows in the application. When modeless dialogs are created, they normally have their signals connected to slots that respond to the user’s interactions. findDialog) { findDialog = new FindDialog(this); connect(findDialog, SIGNAL(findNext(const QString &, bool)), spreadsheet, SLOT(findNext(const QString &, bool))); connect(findDialog, SIGNAL(findPrev(const QString &, bool)), spreadsheet, SLOT(findPrev(const QString &, bool))); } findDialog->show(); findDialog->raise(); findDialog->setActiveWindow(); } The Find dialog is a window that enables the user to search for text in the spreadsheet.

That leaves two empty cells in the bottom-right of the dialog. If this isn’t what you have, undo the layout, reposition the widgets, and try again. Change the form’s resizeMode property from “Auto” to “Fixed”, making the dialog non-resizable by the user. The layout then takes over the responsibility for resizing, and resizes the dialog automatically when child widgets are shown or hidden, ensuring that the dialog is always displayed at its optimal size. Shape-Changing Dialogs 31 Rename the form “SortDialog” and change its caption to “Sort”.

The private slot findClicked() is called when the user clicks the Find button. The dialog closes itself when the user clicks Close. The close() slot is inherited from QWidget, and its default behavior is to hide the widget. We will look at the code for the enableFindButton() and findClicked() slots later on. Since QObject is one of FindDialog’s ancestors, we can omit the QObject:: prefix in front of the connect() calls. 026 027 028 QHBoxLayout *topLeftLayout = new QHBoxLayout; topLeftLayout->addWidget(label); topLeftLayout->addWidget(lineEdit); 029 030 031 032 QVBoxLayout *leftLayout = new QVBoxLayout; leftLayout->addLayout(topLeftLayout); leftLayout->addWidget(caseCheckBox); leftLayout->addWidget(backwardCheckBox); 033 034 035 036 QVBoxLayout *rightLayout = new QVBoxLayout; rightLayout->addWidget(findButton); rightLayout->addWidget(closeButton); rightLayout->addStretch(1); 037 038 QHBoxLayout *mainLayout = new QHBoxLayout(this); mainLayout->setMargin(11); ★ Qt provides TRUE and FALSE for all platforms and uses them throughout as synonyms for the standard true and false.
