Qt SCXML Invoke Example (Static)▲
Invoke Example (Static) demonstrates how to use the <invoke> element with generated nested state-machines, where the SCXML file is compiled to a C++ class. The <invoke> element is used to create an instance of an external service.
Running the Example▲
To run the example from Qt Creator, open the Welcome mode and select the example from Examples. For more information, visit Building and Running an Example.
Invoking the State Machine▲
In statemachine.scxml, we specify a state machine with the name Directions of type http://www.w3.org/TR/scxml/ to invoke:
&
lt;scxml
xmlns=
"http://www.w3.org/2005/07/scxml"
version=
"1.0"
name=
"Directions"
initial=
"anyplace"
&
gt;
&
lt;state id=
"anyplace"
&
gt;
&
lt;transition event=
"goNowhere"
target=
"nowhere"
/&
gt;
&
lt;transition event=
"goSomewhere"
target=
"somewhere"
/&
gt;
&
lt;state id=
"nowhere"
/&
gt;
&
lt;state id=
"somewhere"
&
gt;
&
lt;invoke type=
"http://www.w3.org/TR/scxml/"
&
gt;
&
lt;content&
gt;
&
lt;scxml name=
"anywhere"
version=
"1.0"
&
gt;
&
lt;state id=
"here"
&
gt;
&
lt;transition event=
"goThere"
target=
"there"
/&
gt;
&
lt;/
state&
gt;
&
lt;state id=
"there"
&
gt;
&
lt;transition event=
"goHere"
target=
"here"
/&
gt;
&
lt;/
state&
gt;
&
lt;/
scxml&
gt;
&
lt;/
content&
gt;
&
lt;/
invoke&
gt;
&
lt;/
state&
gt;
&
lt;/
state&
gt;
&
lt;/
scxml&
gt;
Compiling the State Machine▲
We link against the Qt SCXML module by adding the following line to the invoke-static.pro file:
QT +=
qml scxml
We then specify the state machine to compile:
STATECHARTS =
../
invoke-
common/
statemachine.scxml
The Qt SCXML Compiler, qscxmlc, is run automatically to generate statemachine.h and statemachine.cpp, and to add them to the HEADERS and SOURCES variables for compilation.
Instantiating the State Machine▲
We instantiate the generated Directions class in the invoke-st
