This macro expands a numeric value of the form 0xMMNNPP (MM =

major, NN = minor, PP = patch) that specifies Qxt's version

You can use QXT_VERSION to use the latest Qt features where

available. For example:
|
|
\code
|
|
#if QXT_VERSION >= 0x000400
|
|
qxtTabWidget->setTabMovementMode(QxtTabWidget::InPlaceMovement);

\title The Qxt private implementation
|
|
\inmodule QxtCore
|
|
|
|
\brief The <QxtPimpl> header provides tools for hiding
|
|
details of a class.
|
|
|
|
Application code generally doesn't have to be concerned about hiding its
|
|
implementation details, but when writing library code it is important to
|
|
maintain a constant interface, both source and binary. Maintaining a constant
|
|
source interface is easy enough, but keeping the binary interface constant
|
|
means moving implementation details into a private class. The PIMPL, or
|
|
d-pointer, idiom is a common method of implementing this separation. QxtPimpl
|
|
offers a convenient way to connect the public and private sides of your class.
|
|
|
|
\section1 Getting Started
|
|
Before you declare the public class, you need to make a forward declaration
|
|
of the private class. The private class must have the same name as the public
|
|
class, followed by the word Private. For example, a class named MyTest would
|
|
declare the private class with:
|
|
\code
|
|
class MyTestPrivate;
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
\section1 The Public Class
|
|
Generally, you shouldn't keep any data members in the public class without a
|
|
good reason. Functions that are part of the public interface should be declared
|
|
in the public class, and functions that need to be available to subclasses (for
|
|
calling or overriding) should be in the protected section of the public class.
|
|
To connect the private class to the public class, include the
|
|
QXT_DECLARE_PRIVATE macro in the private section of the public class. In the
|
|
example above, the private class is connected as follows:
|
|
\code
|
|
private:
|
|
QXT_DECLARE_PRIVATE(MyTest)
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
Additionally, you must include the QXT_INIT_PRIVATE macro in the public class's
|
|
constructor. Continuing with the MyTest example, your constructor might look
|
|
like this:
|
|
\code
|
|
MyTest::MyTest() {
|
|
// initialization
|
|
QXT_INIT_PRIVATE(MyTest);
|
|
}
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
\section1 The Private Class
|
|
As mentioned above, data members should usually be kept in the private class.
|
|
This allows the memory layout of the private class to change without breaking
|
|
binary compatibility for the public class. Functions that exist only as
|
|
implementation details, or functions that need access to private data members,
|
|
should be implemented here.
|
|
|
|
To define the private class, inherit from the template QxtPrivate class, and
|
|
include the QXT_DECLARE_PUBLIC macro in its public section. The template
|
|
parameter should be the name of the public class. For example:
|
|
\code
|
|
class MyTestPrivate : public QxtPrivate<MyTest> {
|
|
public:
|
|
MyTestPrivate();
|
|
QXT_DECLARE_PUBLIC(MyTest)
|
|
};
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
\section1 Accessing Private Members
|
|
Use the qxt_d() function (actually a function-like object) from functions in
|
|
the public class to access the private class. Similarly, functions in the
|
|
private class can invoke functions in the public class by using the qxt_p()
|
|
function (this one's actually a function).
|
|
|
|
For example, assume that MyTest has methods named getFoobar and doBaz(),
|
|
and MyTestPrivate has a member named foobar and a method named doQuux().
|
|
The code might resemble this example:
|
|
\code
|
|
int MyTest::getFoobar() {
|
|
return qxt_d().foobar;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
void MyTestPrivate::doQuux() {
|
|
qxt_p().doBaz(foobar);
|
|
}
|
|
\endcode
