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());

Constructors

constructor

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

Inherited from QObject.constructor

Overrides EventWidget.constructor

Parameters:

Returns: QLayout

Properties

native

• native: NativeElement | null

Inherited from Component.native

type

• type: string = "layout"

Methods

_id

▸ _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

▸ activate(): boolean

Returns: boolean

addEventListener

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

Inherited from EventWidget.addEventListener

Type parameters:

▪ SignalType: keyof Signals

Parameters:

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

▸ addEventListener(eventType: WidgetEventTypes, callback: function, options?: EventListenerOptions): void

Inherited from EventWidget.addEventListener

Parameters:

▪ eventType: WidgetEventTypes

▪ callback: function

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

Parameters:

▪Optional 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

Abstract addWidget

▸ addWidget(childWidget: QWidget, ...args: any[]): void

Parameters:

Returns: void

children

▸ children(): QObject[]

Inherited from QObject.children

Returns: QObject[]

delete

▸ delete(): void

Inherited from QObject.delete

Returns: void

deleteLater

▸ deleteLater(): void

Inherited from QObject.deleteLater

Returns: void

dumpObjectInfo

▸ dumpObjectInfo(): void

Inherited from QObject.dumpObjectInfo

Returns: void

dumpObjectTree

▸ dumpObjectTree(): void

Inherited from QObject.dumpObjectTree

Returns: void

eventProcessed

▸ eventProcessed(): boolean

Inherited from EventWidget.eventProcessed

Get the state of the event processed flag

See setEventProcessed().

Returns: boolean

boolean True if the current event is flagged as processed.

inherits

▸ inherits(className: string): boolean

Inherited from QObject.inherits

Parameters:

Returns: boolean

invalidate

▸ invalidate(): void

Returns: void

isEnabled

▸ isEnabled(): boolean

Returns: boolean

killTimer

▸ killTimer(timerId: number): void

Inherited from QObject.killTimer

Parameters:

Returns: void

objectName

▸ objectName(): string

Inherited from QObject.objectName

Returns: string

parent

▸ parent(): QObject

Inherited from QObject.parent

Returns: QObject

property

▸ property(name: string): QVariant

Inherited from QObject.property

Parameters:

Returns: QVariant

removeEventListener

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

Inherited from EventWidget.removeEventListener

Type parameters:

▪ SignalType: keyof Signals

Parameters:

Returns: void

▸ removeEventListener(eventType: WidgetEventTypes, callback: function, options?: EventListenerOptions): void

Inherited from EventWidget.removeEventListener

Parameters:

▪ eventType: WidgetEventTypes

▪ callback: function

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

Parameters:

▪Optional options: EventListenerOptions

Returns: void

Abstract removeWidget

▸ removeWidget(childWidget: QWidget): void

Parameters:

Returns: void

setContentsMargins

▸ setContentsMargins(left: number, top: number, right: number, bottom: number): void

Parameters:

Returns: void

setEnabled

▸ setEnabled(enable: boolean): void

Parameters:

Returns: void

setEventProcessed

▸ 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:

Returns: void

setObjectName

▸ setObjectName(objectName: string): void

Inherited from QObject.setObjectName

Parameters:

Returns: void

setParent

▸ setParent(parent: QObject): void

Inherited from QObject.setParent

Parameters:

Returns: void

setProperty

▸ setProperty(name: string, value: QVariantType): boolean

Inherited from QObject.setProperty

Parameters:

Returns: boolean

setSizeConstraint

▸ setSizeConstraint(constraint: SizeConstraint): void

Parameters:

Returns: void

setSpacing

▸ setSpacing(spacing: number): void

Parameters:

Returns: void

sizeConstraint

▸ sizeConstraint(): SizeConstraint

Returns: SizeConstraint

spacing

▸ spacing(): number

Returns: number

startTimer

▸ startTimer(intervalMS: number, timerType: TimerType): number

Inherited from QObject.startTimer

Parameters:

Returns: number

update

▸ update(): void

Returns: void
