public class QSplitter
extends QFrame

The QSplitter class implements a splitter widget. A splitter lets the user control the size of child widgets by dragging the boundary between the children. Any number of widgets may be controlled by a single splitter. The typical use of a QSplitter is to create several widgets and add them using insertWidget() or addWidget().

The following example will show a QListView, QTreeView, and QTextEdit side by side, with two splitter handles:

        QSplitter splitter = new QSplitter(parent);
        QListView listview = new QListView();
        QTreeView treeview = new QTreeView();
        QTextEdit textedit = new QTextEdit();
        splitter.addWidget(listview);
        splitter.addWidget(treeview);
        splitter.addWidget(textedit);
    

If a widget is already inside a QSplitter when insertWidget() or addWidget() is called, it will move to the new position. This can be used to reorder widgets in the splitter later. You can use indexOf(), widget(), and count() to get access to the widgets inside the splitter.

A default QSplitter lays out its children horizontally (side by side); you can use setOrientation(Qt::Vertical ) to lay its children out vertically.

By default, all widgets can be as large or as small as the user wishes, between the minimumSizeHint() (or minimumSize()) and maximumSize() of the widgets.

QSplitter resizes its children dynamically by default. If you would rather have QSplitter resize the children only at the end of a resize operation, call setOpaqueResize(false).

The initial distribution of size between the widgets is determined by multiplying the initial size with the stretch factor. You can also use setSizes() to set the sizes of all the widgets. The function sizes() returns the sizes set by the user. Alternatively, you can save and restore the sizes of the widgets from a QByteArray using saveState() and restoreState() respectively.

When you hide() a child its space will be distributed among the other children. It will be reinstated when you show() it again.

If widget is already in the splitter, it will be moved to the new position.

See also:

insertWidget(), widget(), and indexOf().

childrenCollapsible

public final boolean childrenCollapsible()

This property holds whether child widgets can be resized down to size 0 by the user. By default, children are collapsible. It is possible to enable and disable the collapsing of individual children using setCollapsible().

See also:

setCollapsible().

closestLegalPosition

protected final int closestLegalPosition(int arg__1,
                                         int arg__2)

Returns the closest legal position to pos of the widget with index index.

See also:

getRange().

count

public final int count()

Returns the number of widgets contained in the splitter's layout.

See also:

widget(), and handle().

handle

public final QSplitterHandle handle(int index)

Returns the handle to the left (or above) for the item in the splitter's layout at the given index. The handle at index 0 is always hidden.

For right-to-left languages such as Arabic and Hebrew, the layout of horizontal splitters is reversed. The handle will be to the right of the widget at index.

See also:

count(), widget(), indexOf(), createHandle(), and setHandleWidth().

handleWidth

public final int handleWidth()

This property holds the width of the splitter handles. By default, this property contains a value that depends on the user's platform and style preferences.

indexOf

public final int indexOf(QWidget w)

Returns the index in the splitter's layout of the specified widget. This also works for handles.

Handles are numbered from 0. There are as many handles as there are child widgets, but the handle at position 0 is always hidden.

See also:

count(), and widget().

insertWidget

public final void insertWidget(int index,
                               QWidget widget)

Inserts the widget specified into the splitter's layout at the given index.

If widget is already in the splitter, it will be moved to the new position.

if index is an invalid index, then the widget will be inserted at the end.

See also:

addWidget(), indexOf(), and widget().

isCollapsible

public final boolean isCollapsible(int index)

Returns true if the widget at index is collapsible, otherwise returns false

moveSplitter

protected final void moveSplitter(int pos,
                                  int index)

Moves the left or top edge of the splitter handle at index as close as possible to position pos, which is the distance from the left or top edge of the widget.

For right-to-left languages such as Arabic and Hebrew, the layout of horizontal splitters is reversed. pos is then the distance from the right edge of the widget.

See also:

splitterMoved() , closestLegalPosition(), and getRange().

opaqueResize

public final boolean opaqueResize()

This property holds whether resizing is opaque. Opaque resizing is on by default.

writeTo

public final void writeTo(QTextStream arg__1)

Writes thisQSplitter

readFrom

public final void readFrom(QTextStream arg__1)

Reads a QSplitter

orientation

public final Qt.Orientation orientation()

This property holds the orientation of the splitter. By default the orientation is horizontal (i.e., the widgets are laid out side by side). The possible orientations are Qt::Horizontal and Qt::Vertical .

See also:

QSplitterHandle::orientation().

refresh

public final void refresh()

Updates the splitter's state. You should not need to call this function.

restoreState

public final boolean restoreState(QByteArray state)

Restores the splitter's layout to the state specified. Returns true if the state is restored; otherwise returns false.

Typically this is used in conjunction with QSettings to restore the size from a past session. Here is an example:

Restore the splitters's state:

        QSettings settings = new QSettings();
        splitter.restoreState((QByteArray) settings.value("splitterSizes"));
    

A failure to restore the splitter's layout may result from either invalid or out-of-date data in the supplied byte array.

See also:

saveState().

saveState

public final QByteArray saveState()

Saves the state of the splitter's layout.

Typically this is used in conjunction with QSettings to remember the size for a future session. A version number is stored as part of the data. Here is an example:

        QSettings settings = new QSettings();
        settings.setValue("splitterSizes", splitter.saveState());
    

See also:

restoreState().

setChildrenCollapsible

public final void setChildrenCollapsible(boolean arg__1)

This property holds whether child widgets can be resized down to size 0 by the user. By default, children are collapsible. It is possible to enable and disable the collapsing of individual children using setCollapsible().

See also:

setCollapsible().

setCollapsible

public final void setCollapsible(int index,
                                 boolean arg__2)

Sets whether the child widget at index index is collapsible to collapse.

By default, children are collapsible, meaning that the user can resize them down to size 0, even if they have a non-zero minimumSize() or minimumSizeHint(). This behavior can be changed on a per-widget basis by calling this function, or globally for all the widgets in the splitter by setting the childrenCollapsible property.

See also:

isCollapsible(), and childrenCollapsible.

setHandleWidth

public final void setHandleWidth(int arg__1)

This property holds the width of the splitter handles. By default, this property contains a value that depends on the user's platform and style preferences.

setOpaqueResize

public final void setOpaqueResize()

This property holds whether resizing is opaque. Opaque resizing is on by default.

setOpaqueResize

public final void setOpaqueResize(boolean opaque)

This property holds whether resizing is opaque. Opaque resizing is on by default.

setOrientation

public final void setOrientation(Qt.Orientation arg__1)

This property holds the orientation of the splitter. By default the orientation is horizontal (i.e., the widgets are laid out side by side). The possible orientations are Qt::Horizontal and Qt::Vertical .

See also:

QSplitterHandle::orientation().

setRubberBand

protected final void setRubberBand(int position)

Displays a rubber band at position pos. If pos is negative, the rubber band is removed.

setSizes

public final void setSizes(java.util.List list)

Sets the child widgets respective sizes to the values given in the list.

If the splitter is horizontal, the values set the widths of each widget in pixels, from left to right. If the splitter is vertical, the heights of each widget is set, from top to bottom.

Extra values in the list are ignored. If list contains too few values, the result is undefined but the program will still be well-behaved.

The overall size of the splitter widget is not affected. Instead, any additional/missing space is distributed amongst the widgets according to the relative weight of the sizes.

If you specify a size of 0, the widget will be invisible. The size policies of the widgets are preserved. That is, a value smaller then the minimal size hint of the respective widget will be replaced by the value of the hint.

See also:

sizes().

setStretchFactor

public final void setStretchFactor(int index,
                                   int stretch)

Updates the size policy of the widget at position index to have a stretch factor of stretch.

stretch is not the effective stretch factor; the effective stretch factor is calculated by taking the initial size of the widget and multiplying it with stretch.

This function is provided for convenience. It is equivalent to

        QWidget widget = splitter.widget(index);
        QSizePolicy policy = widget.sizePolicy();
        policy.setHorizontalStretch(stretch);
        policy.setVerticalStretch(stretch);
        widget.setSizePolicy(policy);

See also:

setSizes(), and widget().

sizes

public final java.util.List sizes()

Returns a list of the size parameters of all the widgets in this splitter.

If the splitter's orientation is horizontal, the list contains the widgets width in pixels, from left to right; if the orientation is vertical, the list contains the widgets height in pixels, from top to bottom.

Giving the values to another splitter's setSizes() function will produce a splitter with the same layout as this one.

Note that invisible widgets have a size of 0.

See also:

setSizes().

widget

public final QWidget widget(int index)

Returns the widget at the given index in the splitter's layout.

See also:

count(), handle(), indexOf(), and insertWidget().

createHandle

protected QSplitterHandle createHandle()

Returns a new splitter handle as a child widget of this splitter. This function can be reimplemented in subclasses to provide support for custom handles.

See also:

handle(), and indexOf().

getRange

public final QSplitter.Range getRange(int index)

Returns the valid range of the splitter with index index.
