Detailed Description

Represents a group of object.

Author

Ivan Cukic

This is not a visual grouping of object. For that, see QGraphicsItem, QGraphicsWidget etc. documentation.

Lancelot::Group provides a mechanism for grouping objects semantically.

For example, if you want to have a couple of buttons that should change their appearances or behaviour simultaneously, you don't need to change the properties for each object, but only to notify the group object.

One of the examples where this is heavily used is the theming support in the Lancelot menu application.

Member Function Documentation

void Lancelot::Group::add

(

QObject *

object

)

Adds object to the group.

Parameters

object

the object to add to the group

Definition at line 141 of file Global.cpp.

const Group::ColorScheme * Lancelot::Group::backgroundColor

(

)

const

Background color is one of the common properties, so a direct function that accesses it is provided.

Returns

the background color scheme

Definition at line 204 of file Global.cpp.

Plasma::FrameSvg * Lancelot::Group::backgroundSvg

(

)

const

Background SVG image is one of the common properties, so a direct function that accesses it is provided.

Returns

the pointer to Plasma::FrameSvg object

Definition at line 199 of file Global.cpp.

void Lancelot::Group::clearProperty

(

const QString &

property

)

Clears the value of the specified property.

Parameters

the	name of the property

Definition at line 189 of file Global.cpp.

bool Lancelot::Group::contains

(

QObject *

object

)

Returns

whether the groeup contains the specified object

Parameters

object

the object

Definition at line 297 of file Global.cpp.

const Group::ColorScheme * Lancelot::Group::foregroundColor

(

)

const

Foreground color is one of the common properties, so a direct function that accesses it is provided.

Returns

the background color scheme

Definition at line 213 of file Global.cpp.

bool Lancelot::Group::hasProperty

(

const QString &

property

)

const

Parameters

the	name of the property

Returns

whether this group has the specified property set

Definition at line 164 of file Global.cpp.

void Lancelot::Group::load

(

bool

full = false

)

Loads the group properties from a configuration file.

if true, the group is reloaded even if it was already loaded before

Definition at line 218 of file Global.cpp.

QString Lancelot::Group::name

(

)

const

Returns

the name of the group

Definition at line 194 of file Global.cpp.

void Lancelot::Group::notifyUpdated ( )

inline

Definition at line 159 of file Global.h.

QVariant Lancelot::Group::property

(

const QString &

property

)

const

Parameters

the	name of the property

Returns

the value of the specified property

Definition at line 169 of file Global.cpp.

void Lancelot::Group::remove	(	QObject *	object,
		bool	setDefaultGroup = true
	)

Removes the object from the group.

Parameters

object	the object that should be removed from the group
setDefaultGroup	if set, the object is moved to the default group. If not, the object will retain the pointer to the old group, but will not receive any updates from it.

Definition at line 156 of file Global.cpp.

void Lancelot::Group::setProperty	(	const QString &	property,
		const QVariant &	value,
		bool	persistent = true
	)

Sets the value of the specified property.

Parameters

property	the name of the property
value	value
persistent	whether the property should be preserved on group reload

Definition at line 174 of file Global.cpp.
