Detailed Description

The preference widget class.

If you want to extend a QWidget class to save/restore its data you just have to derive from this class and implement the methods restorePreferences() and savePreferences().

To restore and save the settings of any widgets in own dialogs you have call onRestore() e.g. in the dialog's constructor and call onSave() e.g. in accept() for each widget you want to enable this mechanism.

For more information of how to use these widgets in normal container widgets which are again in a dialog refer to the description of Gui::Dialog::DlgPreferencesImp.

PrefWidget::PrefWidget ( )

protected

Constructs a preference widget.

◆ ~PrefWidget()

PrefWidget::~PrefWidget ( )

protectedvirtual

Destroys the widget and detaches it from its parameter group.

Member Function Documentation

◆ entryName()

QByteArray PrefWidget::entryName ( ) const

Returns the widget's preference name.

◆ failedToRestore()

void PrefWidget::failedToRestore ( const QString & name ) const

protected

Print warning that restoring failed.

References Base::ConsoleSingleton::Warning().

◆ failedToSave()

void PrefWidget::failedToSave ( const QString & name ) const

protected

Print warning that saving failed.

References Base::ConsoleSingleton::Warning().

◆ OnChange()

void PrefWidget::OnChange	(	Base::Subject< const char * > &	rCaller,
		const char *	sReason
	)

virtual

This method is called if one or more values in the parameter settings are changed where getParamGrp() points to.

Note: This method is called for each parameter inside the parameter group. So you have to filter out the appropriate parameter with the name sReason. rCaller calls this method.
