Using a form created with Qt Designer in an application.
The Multiple Inheritance Example shows how to use a form created with
Qt Designer
in an application by subclassing both
QWidget
and the user interface class, which is
Ui::CalculatorForm
.
To subclass the
calculatorform.ui
file and ensure that
qmake
processes it with the
uic
, we have to include
calculatorform.ui
在
.pro
file, as shown below:
QT += widgets HEADERS = calculatorform.h SOURCES = calculatorform.cpp main.cpp FORMS = calculatorform.ui
When the project is compiled, the
uic
will generate a corresponding
ui_calculatorform.h
.
在
CalculatorForm
definition, we include the
ui_calculatorform.h
that was generated earlier.
#include "ui_calculatorform.h"
As mentioned earlier, the class is a subclass of both
QWidget
and
Ui::CalculatorForm
.
class CalculatorForm : public QWidget, private Ui::CalculatorForm { Q_OBJECT public: explicit CalculatorForm(QWidget *parent = nullptr); private slots: void on_inputSpinBox1_valueChanged(int value); void on_inputSpinBox2_valueChanged(int value); };
Two slots are defined according to the
automatic connection
naming convention required by
uic
. This is to ensure that
QMetaObject
's auto-connection facilities connect all the signals and slots involved automatically.
In the constructor, we call
setupUi()
to load the user interface file. Note that setupUi is a method of
Ui::CalculatorForm
.
CalculatorForm::CalculatorForm(QWidget *parent) : QWidget(parent) { setupUi(this); }
We include two slots,
on_inputSpinBox1_valueChanged()
and
on_inputSpinBox2_valueChanged()
. These slots respond to the
valueChanged
() signal that both spin boxes emit. Whenever there is a change in one spin box's value, we take that value and add it to whatever value the other spin box has.
void CalculatorForm::on_inputSpinBox1_valueChanged(int value) { outputWidget->setText(QString::number(value + inputSpinBox2->value())); } void CalculatorForm::on_inputSpinBox2_valueChanged(int value) { outputWidget->setText(QString::number(value + inputSpinBox1->value())); }
main()
函数
The
main()
function instantiates
QApplication
and
CalculatorForm
。
calculator
object is displayed by invoking the
show
() 函数。
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { QApplication app(argc, argv); CalculatorForm calculator; calculator.show(); return app.exec(); }
There are various approaches to include forms into applications. The Multiple Inheritance approach is just one of them. See 在应用程序中使用 Designer UI 文件 for more information on the other approaches available.
