Qt SCXML Traffic Light Example (Static)▲

Image non disponible

Traffic Light Example (Static) demonstrates how to connect to the active properties of a state in a state machine that is compiled to a class.

The UI is created using Qt Widgets.

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.

Compiling the State Machine▲

We link against the Qt SCXML module by adding the following line to the .pro file:

 
Sélectionnez
QT += qml scxml

We then specify the state machine to compile:

 
Sélectionnez
STATECHARTS = ../trafficlight-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 TrafficLightStateMachine class in the trafficlight-widgets-static.cpp file, as follows:

 
Sélectionnez
#include "statemachine.h"
#include "../trafficlight-common/trafficlight.h"

#include <QApplication>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    QApplication app(argc, argv);

    TrafficLightStateMachine machine;
    TrafficLight widget(&machine);
    widget.show();
    machine.start();

    return app.exec();
}

Connecting to States▲

In the SCXML file, we specify states for each light: red, yellow, and green. In the <onentry> element, we specify the event to send when entering the state and the delay in seconds before sending the event. In the <transition> element, we specify the event that triggers the transition to the state specified by the target attribute:

 
Sélectionnez
        &lt;state id="red"&gt;
            &lt;onentry&gt;
                &lt;send event="startGoingGreen" delay="3s"/&gt;
            &lt;/onentry&gt;
            &lt;transition event="startGoingGreen" target="redGoingGreen"/&gt;
        &lt;/state&gt;

        &lt;state id="yellow" initial="greenGoingRed"&gt;
            &lt;state id="redGoingGreen"&gt;
                &lt;onentry&gt;
                    &lt;send event="goGreen" delay="1s"/&gt;
                &lt;/onentry&gt;
                &lt;transition event="goGreen" target="green"/&gt;
            &lt;/state&gt;

            &lt;state id="greenGoingRed"&gt;
                &am
