49.28 Other Widgets Events

Each Qt signal can be used in RingQt, just add Set before the signal name and add event after the signal name to get
the method that can be used to determine the event code.
For example the QProgressBar class contains a signal named valueChanged() To use it just use the function setVal-
ueChangedEvent()
Example:
Load "guilib.ring"

New qApp {
win1 = new qMainWindow() {

setwindowtitle("QProgressBar valueChanged Event")

progress1 = new qprogressbar(win1) {

setGeometry(100,100,350,30)
setvalue(10)
setvaluechangedevent("pChange()")
}

new qpushbutton(win1) {
setGeometry(10,10,100,30)
settext("increase")
setclickevent("pIncrease()")
}

func pIncrease
progress1 { setvalue(value()+1) }

func pchange

New qApp {
win1 = new qMainWindow() {

new qcheckbox(win1) {

settext("New Customer!")
setstatechangedevent("pchange()")
}
showMaximized()
}
exec()
}

Func pChange

new qMessageBox(Win1) {
setWindowTitle("Checkbox")
settext("State Changed!")
show()
}

49.29 Using the QTimer Class

In this example we will learn about using the QTimer class

Load "guilib.ring"

new qApp {
win1 = new qwidget() {
setgeometry(100,100,200,70)
setwindowtitle("Timer")
label1 = new qlabel(win1) {
setgeometry(10,10,200,30)
settext(thetime())
}
new qtimer(win1) {
setinterval(1000)
settimeoutevent("pTime()")
start()
}
show()
}
exec()
}

func ptime
label1.settext(thetime())

Func thetime
return "Time : " + Time()

49.30 Using QProgressBar and Timer

In this example we will learn about using the animated QProgressBar class and Timer
###------------------------------------
### ProgressBar and Timer Example

Load "guilib.ring"

new qApp
{
win1 = new qwidget()
{
setgeometry(100,100,400,100)
setwindowtitle("Timer and ProgressBar")

LabelMan = new qlabel(win1)

{
setgeometry(10,10,200,30)
settext(theTime()) ### ==>> func
}

TimerMan = new qtimer(win1)

{
setinterval(1000)
settimeoutevent("pTime()") ### ==>> func
start()
}

BarMan = new qprogressbar(win1)

{
setGeometry(100,50,300,10) ### Position X y, Length, Thickness
setvalue(0) ### Percent filled
}

show()
}
exec()
}

func pTime
LabelMan.settext(theTime()) ### ==>> func

Increment = 10
if BarMan.value() >= 100 ### ProgressBar start over.
BarMan.setvalue(0)
ok
BarMan{ setvalue(value() + Increment) }

49.31 Display Scaled Image using QLabel

In this example we will learn about displaying and scaling an image so that it looks animated using the QLabel
widget
Load "guilib.ring"

#----------------------------------------------------
# REQUIRES: image = "C:\RING\bin\stock.jpg"

# imageStock: start dimensions for growing image

imageW = 200 ; imageH = 200 ; GrowBy = 4

###----------------------------------------------------
### Window and Box Size dimensions

WinWidth = 1280 ; WinHeight = 960

BoxWidth = WinWidth -80 ; BoxHeight = WinHeight -80

###----------------------------------------------------

New qapp {

win1 = new qwidget() {

setgeometry(50,50, WinWidth,WinHeight)
setwindowtitle("Animated Image - Display Image Scaled and Resized")

imageStock = new qlabel(win1) {

image = new qpixmap("C:\RING\bin\stock.jpg")

AspectRatio = image.width() / image.height()

imageW = 200
imageH = imageH / AspectRatio

### Size-H, Size-V, Aspect, Transform

setpixmap(image.scaled(imageW , imageH ,0,0))

PosLeft = (BoxWidth - imageW ) / 2

PosTop = (BoxHeight - imageH ) / 2

49.31. Display Scaled Image using QLabel 446

 Ring Documentation, Release 1.3

setGeometry(PosLeft,PosTop,imageW,imageH)

TimerMan = new qtimer(win1) {

setinterval(100) ### interval 100 millisecs.
settimeoutevent("pTime()") ### ==>> func
start()
}

show()
}
exec()
}

###------------------------------------------------------
### Fuction TimerMan: calling interval 100 milliseconds

func pTime

### Stop Timer when image is size of Window area

if imageW > BoxWidth
TimerMan.stop()
imageStock.clear() ### Will clear the image
ok

### Grow image

imageW += GrowBy
imageH = imageW / AspectRatio

### Scaled Image: Size-H, Size-V, Aspect, Transform

imageStock.setpixmap(image.scaled(imageW , imageH ,0,0))

### Center the image

PosLeft = (WinWidth - imageW ) / 2
PosTop = (WinHeight - imageH ) / 2
imageStock.setGeometry(PosLeft,PosTop,imageW,imageH)

49.32 Using the QFileDialog Class

Example
Load "guilib.ring"

New qapp {
win1 = new qwidget() {
setwindowtitle("open file")

new qpushbutton(win1) {
setgeometry(10,10,200,30)

setclickevent("pOpen()")
}
