QLayout

Abstract class to add functionalities common to all Layout.

*This class implements all methods, properties of Qt's QLayout class so that it can be inherited by all layouts**

QLayout is an abstract class and hence no instances of the same should be created.

Example

const {
QLayout,
FlexLayout,
GridLayout,
QPushButton,
QWidget
} = require("@nodegui/nodegui");
// addChildToLayout can accept any layout since it expects QLayout
const addChildToLayout = (layout: QLayout, widget: QWidget) => {
layout.addWidget(widget);
};
addChildToLayout(new FlexLayout(), new QPushButton());
addChildToLayout(new GridLayout(), new QWidget());

Methods

Constructors

constructor

+ new QLayout(nativeElementOrParent?: NativeElement | QObject): QLayout

Inherited from QObject.constructor

Overrides EventWidget.constructor

Parameters:

NameType
nativeElementOrParent?NativeElement | QObject

Returns: QLayout

Properties

native

• native: NativeElement | null

Inherited from Component.native


type

• type: string = "layout"

Methods

_id

â–¸ _id(): number

Inherited from QObject._id

Get an ID identifying the underlying C++ object.

This can be useful when debugging memory problems with help from setLogCreateQObject() and setLogDestroyQObject(). The number is hash of the memory address of the C++ object.

Returns: number

a unique number which is valid for the lifetime of the C++ object.


activate

â–¸ activate(): boolean

Returns: boolean


addEventListener

▸ addEventListener‹SignalType›(signalType: SignalType, callback: Signals[SignalType], options?: EventListenerOptions): void

Inherited from EventWidget.addEventListener

Type parameters:

â–ª SignalType: keyof Signals

Parameters:

NameTypeDescription
signalTypeSignalTypeSignalType is a signal from the widgets signals interface.
callbackSignals[SignalType]Corresponding callback for the signal as mentioned in the widget's signal interface
options?EventListenerOptionsExtra optional options controlling how this event listener is added.

Returns: void

void

For example in the case of QPushButton:

const button = new QPushButton();
button.addEventListener('clicked',(checked)=>console.log("clicked"));
// here clicked is a value from QPushButtonSignals interface

â–¸ addEventListener(eventType: WidgetEventTypes, callback: function, options?: EventListenerOptions): void

Inherited from EventWidget.addEventListener

Parameters:

â–ª eventType: WidgetEventTypes

â–ª callback: function

▸ (event?: NativeRawPointer‹"QEvent"›): void

Parameters:

NameType
event?NativeRawPointer‹"QEvent"›

â–ªOptional options: EventListenerOptions

Extra optional options controlling how this event listener is added.

For example in the case of QPushButton:

const button = new QPushButton();
button.addEventListener(WidgetEventTypes.HoverEnter,()=>console.log("hovered"));

Returns: void

setEventProcessed

â–¸ setEventProcessed(isProcessed: boolean): void

Inherited from EventWidget.setEventProcessed

Mark the current event as having been processed

This method is used to indicate that the currently dispatched event has been processed and no further processing by superclasses is required. It only makes sense to call this method from an event handler.

When set, this flag will cause NodeGui's QObject::event() method to return true and not call the superclass event(), effectively preventing any further processing on this event.

Parameters:

NameTypeDescription
isProcessedbooleantrue if the event has been processed.

Returns: void
