Detailed Description

The DtUiElement class is the base for which all UI elements are defined.

If you wish to create a new UI element, you must subclass this item and:

1) Register is i the uiElement factory: DtUiElement()::elementFactory()->registerType<MyNewUiElement>("my-ui-element");

2) Your new UI element will have to create some content. Override the createDataEntryElement() method for this:

QWidget* DtUiStringElement::createDataEntryElement(QWidget* parent) { myLineEdit = new QLineEdit(parent); myLineEdit->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Preferred, QSizePolicy::Fixed);

QObject::connect(myLineEdit, SIGNAL(textChanged(const QString&)), &mySignalHandler, SLOT(elementChanged()));

return myLineEdit; }

3) Add code to take information from the descriptor and place it into your element void DtUiStringElement::setFromParameters(DtReaderWriter* parentRw) { DtReaderWriterRegistryData* val = value(parentRw);

if (val) { DtRwString* str = dynamic_cast<DtRwString*>(val->readerWriter());

if (str) { myLineEdit->blockSignals(true); myLineEdit->setText(QString::fromLocal8Bit(str->c_str())); myLineEdit->blockSignals(false); } }

DtUiElement::setFromParameters(parentRw); }

4) Create code to update the parameter descriptor element when your element changes void DtUiStringElement::elementChanged() { if (myValue) { DtRwString* str = dynamic_cast<DtRwString*>(myValue->readerWriter());

if (str) { str = (const char)myLineEdit->text().toLocal8Bit(); } }

DtUiElement::elementChanged(); }

5) Implement a clone and copy constructor method to be able to duplicate your ui element This class is used for signalling events up/down the chain
