Detailed Description
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.
To show a QListBox, a QListView and a QTextEdit side by side:
QSplitter *split = new QSplitter( parent );
QListBox *lb = new QListBox( split );
QListView *lv = new QListView( split );
QTextEdit *ed = new QTextEdit( split );
QSplitter lays out its children horizontally (side by side); you
can use setOrientation(QSplitter::Vertical) to lay out the
children 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. Use setResizeMode() to
specify that a widget should keep its size when the splitter is
resized, or set the stretch component of the sizePolicy.
Although QSplitter normally resizes the children only at the end
of a resize operation, if you call setOpaqueResize(TRUE) the
widgets are resized as often as possible.
The initial distribution of size between the widgets is determined
by the initial size of each widget. You can also use setSizes() to
set the sizes of all the widgets. The function sizes() returns the
sizes set by the user.
If you hide() a child its space will be distributed among the
other children. It will be reinstated when you show() it again. It
is also possible to reorder the widgets within the splitter using
moveToFirst() and moveToLast().

Member Type Documentation
QSplitter::ResizeMode
This enum type describes how QSplitter will resize each of its
child widgets.
- QSplitter::Auto - The widget will be resized according to the stretch
factors set in its sizePolicy().
- QSplitter::Stretch - The widget will be resized when the splitter
itself is resized.
- QSplitter::KeepSize - QSplitter will try to keep the widget's size
unchanged.
- QSplitter::FollowSizeHint - QSplitter will resize the widget when the
widget's size hint changes.
Member Function Documentation
QSplitter::QSplitter ( QWidget * parent = 0, const char * name = 0 )
Constructs a horizontal splitter with the parent and name
arguments being passed on to the QFrame constructor.
QSplitter::QSplitter ( Orientation o, QWidget * parent = 0, const char * name = 0 )
Constructs a splitter with orientation o with the parent and
name arguments being passed on to the QFrame constructor.
QSplitter::~QSplitter ()
Destroys the splitter and any children.
int QSplitter::adjustPos ( int pos, int id ) [protected]
Returns the closest legal position to pos of the widget with ID
id.
See also idAfter().
void QSplitter::childEvent ( QChildEvent * c ) [virtual protected]
Tells the splitter that the child widget described by c has
been inserted or removed.
Reimplemented from QObject.
bool QSplitter::childrenCollapsible () const
Returns TRUE if child widgets can be resized down to size 0 by the user; otherwise returns FALSE.
See the "childrenCollapsible" property for details.
void QSplitter::drawSplitter ( QPainter * p, QCOORD x, QCOORD y, QCOORD w, QCOORD h ) [virtual protected]
This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source working. We strongly advise against using it in new code.
Draws the splitter handle in the rectangle described by x, y,
w, h using painter p.
See also QStyle::drawPrimitive().
void QSplitter::getRange ( int id, int * min, int * max ) [protected]
Returns the valid range of the splitter with ID id in *min
and *max if min and max are not 0.
See also idAfter().
int QSplitter::handleWidth () const
Returns the width of the splitter handle.
See the "handleWidth" property for details.
int QSplitter::idAfter ( QWidget * w ) const [protected]
Returns the ID of the widget to the right of or below the widget
w, or 0 if there is no such widget (i.e. it is either not in
this QSplitter or w is at the end).
void QSplitter::moveSplitter ( QCOORD p, int id ) [protected]
Moves the left/top edge of the splitter handle with ID id as
close as possible to position p, which is the distance from the
left (or top) edge of the widget.
For Arabic, Hebrew and other right-to-left languages the layout is
reversed. p is then the distance from the right (or top) edge
of the widget.
See also idAfter().
void QSplitter::moveToFirst ( QWidget * w )
Moves widget w to the leftmost/top position.
Example: splitter/splitter.cpp.
void QSplitter::moveToLast ( QWidget * w )
Moves widget w to the rightmost/bottom position.
bool QSplitter::opaqueResize () const
Returns TRUE if resizing is opaque; otherwise returns FALSE.
See the "opaqueResize" property for details.
Orientation QSplitter::orientation () const
Returns the orientation of the splitter.
See the "orientation" property for details.
void QSplitter::refresh ()
Updates the splitter's state. You should not need to call this
function.
void QSplitter::setChildrenCollapsible ( bool )
Sets whether child widgets can be resized down to size 0 by the user.
See the "childrenCollapsible" property for details.
void QSplitter::setCollapsible ( QWidget * w, bool collapse )
Sets whether the child widget w 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 childrenCollapsible.
void QSplitter::setHandleWidth ( int )
Sets the width of the splitter handle.
See the "handleWidth" property for details.
void QSplitter::setOpaqueResize ( bool = TRUE ) [virtual]
Sets whether resizing is opaque.
See the "opaqueResize" property for details.
void QSplitter::setOrientation ( Orientation ) [virtual]
Sets the orientation of the splitter.
See the "orientation" property for details.
void QSplitter::setResizeMode ( QWidget * w, ResizeMode mode ) [virtual]
Sets resize mode of widget w to mode. (The default is Auto.)
Examples: fileiconview/mainwindow.cpp, listviews/listviews.cpp, and splitter/splitter.cpp.
void QSplitter::setRubberband ( int p ) [virtual protected]
Displays a rubber band at position p. If p is negative, the
rubber band is removed.
void QSplitter::setSizes ( QValueList<int> list )
Sets the size parameters to the values given in the list. If
the splitter is horizontal, the values set the widths of each
widget going from left to right. If the splitter is vertical, the
values set the heights of each widget going 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.
See also sizes().
QValueList<int> QSplitter::sizes () const
Returns a list of the size parameters of all the widgets in this
splitter.
If the splitter's orientation is horizontal, the list is a list of
widget widths; if the orientation is vertical, the list is a list
of widget heights.
Giving the values to another splitter's setSizes() function will
produce a splitter with the same layout as this one.
Note that if you want to iterate over the list, you should iterate
over a copy, e.g.
QValueList<int> list = mySplitter.sizes();
QValueList<int>::Iterator it = list.begin();
while( it != list.end() ) {
myProcessing( *it );
++it;
}
See also setSizes().
Property Documentation
bool 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; see
setCollapsible().
Set this property's value with setChildrenCollapsible() and get this property's value with childrenCollapsible().
int handleWidth
This property holds the width of the splitter handle.
Set this property's value with setHandleWidth() and get this property's value with handleWidth().
bool opaqueResize
This property holds whether resizing is opaque.
Opaque resizing is off by default.
Set this property's value with setOpaqueResize() and get this property's value with opaqueResize().
This property holds the orientation of the splitter.
By default the orientation is horizontal (the widgets are side by
side). The possible orientations are Horizontal and
Vertical.
Set this property's value with setOrientation() and get this property's value with orientation().

See also operator>>(), sizes(), and QWidget::hidden.
Reads the sizes and the hidden state of the widgets in the
splitter splitter from the text stream ts. The sizes must
have been previously written by the operator<<() function.
