QFontDialog Class

flags QFontDialog::FontDialogOptions

This enum specifies various options that affect the look and feel of a font dialog.

For instance, it allows to specify which type of font should be displayed. If none are specified all fonts available will be listed.

Note that the font filtering options might not be supported on some platforms (e.g. Mac). They are always supported by the non native dialog (used on Windows or Linux).

The FontDialogOptions type is a typedef for QFlags<FontDialogOption>. It stores an OR combination of FontDialogOption values.

This property holds the current font of the dialog.

Access functions:

• currentFont() const

• void setCurrentFont(const &font)

Notifier signal:

• void currentFontChanged(const &font)

This property holds the various options that affect the look and feel of the dialog

By default, all options are disabled.

Options should be set before showing the dialog. Setting them while the dialog is visible is not guaranteed to have an immediate effect on the dialog (depending on the option and on the platform).

Access functions:

• options() const

• void setOptions( options)

Constructs a standard font dialog.

Use setCurrentFont() to set the initial font attributes.

The parent parameter is passed to the QDialog constructor.

Constructs a standard font dialog with the given parent and specified initial font.

Reimplements: QWidget::changeEvent(QEvent *event).

Returns the current font.

This signal is emitted when the current font is changed. The new font is specified in font.

The signal is emitted while a user is selecting a font. Ultimately, the chosen font may differ from the font currently selected.

Reimplements: QDialog::done(int r).

Closes the dialog and sets its result code to result. If this dialog is shown with exec(), done() causes the local event loop to finish, and exec() to return result.

This signal is emitted when a font has been selected. The selected font is specified in font.

The signal is only emitted when a user has chosen the final font to be used. It is not emitted while the user is changing the current font in the font dialog.

Executes a modal font dialog and returns a font.

If the user clicks OK, the selected font is returned. If the user clicks Cancel, the initial font is returned.

The dialog is constructed with the given parent and the options specified in options. title is shown as the window title of the dialog and initial is the initially selected font. If the ok parameter is not-null, the value it refers to is set to true if the user clicks OK, and set to false if the user clicks Cancel.

Examples:

bool ok;
QFont font = QFontDialog::getFont(&ok, QFont("Times", 12), this);
if (ok) {
    // font is set to the font the user selected
} else {
    // the user canceled the dialog; font is set to the initial
    // value, in this case Times, 12.
}

The dialog can also be used to set a widget's font directly:

myWidget.setFont(QFontDialog::getFont(0, myWidget.font()));

In this example, if the user clicks OK the font they chose will be used, and if they click Cancel the original font is used.

This is an overloaded function.

Executes a modal font dialog and returns a font.

If the user clicks OK, the selected font is returned. If the user clicks Cancel, the Qt default font is returned.

The dialog is constructed with the given parent. If the ok parameter is not-null, the value it refers to is set to true if the user clicks OK, and false if the user clicks Cancel.

Example:

bool ok;
QFont font = QFontDialog::getFont(&ok, this);
if (ok) {
    // font is set to the font the user selected
} else {
    // the user canceled the dialog; font is set to the default
    // application font, QApplication::font()
}

Opens the dialog and connects its fontSelected() signal to the slot specified by receiver and member.

The signal will be disconnected from the slot when the dialog is closed.

Returns the font that the user selected by clicking the OK or equivalent button.

Sets the font highlighted in the QFontDialog to the given font.
