public class QWidgetItem
extends QtJambiObject
implements QLayoutItemInterface

The QWidgetItem class is a layout item that represents a widget. Normally, you don't need to use this class directly. Qt's built-in layout managers provide the following functions for manipulating widgets in layouts:

Class	Functions
QBoxLayout	addWidget(), insertWidget(), setStretchFactor()
QGridLayout	addWidget()
QStackedLayout	addWidget(), insertWidget(), currentWidget(), setCurrentWidget(), widget()

See also:

QLayout, QSpacerItem, and QLayoutItem::widget().

Constructor Detail

QWidgetItem

public QWidgetItem(QWidget w)

Creates an item containing the given widget.

Method Detail

alignment

public final Qt.Alignment alignment()

Returns the alignment of this item.

See also:

setAlignment().

Specified by:

alignment in interface QLayoutItemInterface

controlTypes

public final QSizePolicy.ControlTypes controlTypes()

Returns the control type(s) for the layout item. For a QWidgetItem, the control type comes from the widget's size policy; for a QLayoutItem, the control types is derived from the layout's contents.

See also:

QSizePolicy::controlType().

Specified by:

controlTypes in interface QLayoutItemInterface

setAlignment

public final void setAlignment(Qt.Alignment a)

Sets the alignment of this item to alignment.

Note: Item alignment is only supported by QLayoutItem subclasses where it would have a visual effect. Except for QSpacerItem, which provides blank space for layouts, all public Qt classes that inherit QLayoutItem support item alignment.

See also:

alignment().

Specified by:

setAlignment in interface QLayoutItemInterface

expandingDirections

public Qt.Orientations expandingDirections()

Returns whether this layout item can make use of more space than sizeHint(). A value of Qt::Vertical or Qt::Horizontal means that it wants to grow in only one dimension, whereas Qt::Vertical | Qt::Horizontal means that it wants to grow in both dimensions.

Specified by:

expandingDirections in interface QLayoutItemInterface

geometry

public QRect geometry()

Returns the rectangle covered by this layout item.

See also:

setGeometry().

Specified by:

geometry in interface QLayoutItemInterface

hasHeightForWidth

public boolean hasHeightForWidth()

Returns true if this layout's preferred height depends on its width; otherwise returns false. The default implementation returns false.

Reimplement this function in layout managers that support height for width.

See also:

heightForWidth(), and QWidget::heightForWidth().

Specified by:

hasHeightForWidth in interface QLayoutItemInterface

heightForWidth

public int heightForWidth(int arg__1)

Returns the preferred height for this layout item, given the width w.

The default implementation returns -1, indicating that the preferred height is independent of the width of the item. Using the function hasHeightForWidth() will typically be much faster than calling this function and testing for -1.

Reimplement this function in layout managers that support height for width. A typical implementation will look like this:

    public int heightForWidth(int w)
    {
        if (cache_dirty || cached_width != w) {
            int h = calculateHeightForWidth(w);
            cached_hfw = h;
            return h;
        }
        return cached_hfw;
    }

Caching is strongly recommended; without it layout will take exponential time.

hasHeightForWidth().

Specified by:

heightForWidth in interface QLayoutItemInterface

invalidate

public void invalidate()

Invalidates any cached information in this layout item.

Specified by:

invalidate in interface QLayoutItemInterface

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()

Implemented in subclasses to return whether this item is empty, i.e. whether it contains any widgets.

Specified by:

isEmpty in interface QLayoutItemInterface

layout

public QLayout layout()

If this item is a QLayout, it is returned as a QLayout; otherwise 0 is returned. This function provides type-safe casting.

Specified by:

layout in interface QLayoutItemInterface

maximumSize

public QSize maximumSize()

Implemented in subclasses to return the maximum size of this item.

Specified by:

maximumSize in interface QLayoutItemInterface

minimumHeightForWidth

public int minimumHeightForWidth(int arg__1)

Returns the minimum height this widget needs for the given width, w. The default implementation simply returns heightForWidth(w).

Specified by:

minimumHeightForWidth in interface QLayoutItemInterface

minimumSize

public QSize minimumSize()

Implemented in subclasses to return the minimum size of this item.

Specified by:

minimumSize in interface QLayoutItemInterface

setGeometry

public void setGeometry(QRect arg__1)

Implemented in subclasses to set this item's geometry to r.

See also:

geometry().

Specified by:

setGeometry in interface QLayoutItemInterface

sizeHint

public QSize sizeHint()

Implemented in subclasses to return the preferred size of this item.

Specified by:

sizeHint in interface QLayoutItemInterface

spacerItem

public QSpacerItem spacerItem()

If this item is a QSpacerItem, it is returned as a QSpacerItem; otherwise 0 is returned. This function provides type-safe casting.

Specified by:

spacerItem in interface QLayoutItemInterface

widget

public QWidget widget()

If this item is a QWidget, it is returned as a QWidget; otherwise 0 is returned. This function provides type-safe casting.

Specified by:

widget in interface QLayoutItemInterface

fromNativePointer

public static QWidgetItem fromNativePointer(QNativePointer nativePointer)

This method returns the QWidgetItem instance pointed to by nativePointer.
