## Detailed Description

An abstract base class for slider widgets.

QwtAbstractSlider is a base class for slider widgets. It handles mouse events and updates the slider's value accordingly. Derived classes only have to implement the getValue() and getScrollMode() members, and should react to a valueChange(), which normally requires repainting.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QwtAbstractSlider::QwtAbstractSlider | ( | Qt::Orientation | orientation,
|  | QWidget * | parent = `NULL` |
| ) |  |  | `[explicit]`

Constructor.

Parameters:

  | orientation | Orientation
  | parent | Parent widget

Definition at line 54 of file qwt_abstract_slider.cpp.

QwtAbstractSlider::~QwtAbstractSlider | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

Destructor.

Definition at line 68 of file qwt_abstract_slider.cpp.

## Member Function Documentation

void QwtAbstractSlider::setUpdateTime | ( | int | t | ) |

Specify the update interval for automatic scrolling.

Parameters:

  | t | update interval in milliseconds

See also:
  getScrollMode()

Definition at line 138 of file qwt_abstract_slider.cpp.

void QwtAbstractSlider::stopMoving | ( |  | ) |

Stop updating if automatic scrolling is active.

Definition at line 124 of file qwt_abstract_slider.cpp.

Referenced by fitValue(), incValue(), mousePressEvent(), mouseReleaseEvent(), setValue(), and timerEvent().

void QwtAbstractSlider::setTracking | ( | bool | enable | ) |

Enables or disables tracking.

If tracking is enabled, the slider emits a valueChanged() signal whenever its value changes (the default behaviour). If tracking is disabled, the value changed() signal will only be emitted if:

- the user releases the mouse button and the value has changed or
- at the end of automatic scrolling.

Tracking is enabled by default.

Parameters:

  | enable | `true` (enable) or `false` (disable) tracking.

Definition at line 296 of file qwt_abstract_slider.cpp.

void QwtAbstractSlider::setMass | ( | double | val | ) | `[virtual]`

Set the slider's mass for flywheel effect.

If the slider's mass is greater then 0, it will continue to move after the mouse button has been released. Its speed decreases with time at a rate depending on the slider's mass. A large mass means that it will continue to move for a long time.

Derived widgets may overload this function to make it public.

Parameters:

  | val | New mass in kg

  mass()

virtual double QwtAbstractSlider::getValue | ( | const QPoint & | p | ) | `[protected, pure virtual]`

Determine the value corresponding to a specified poind.

This is an abstract virtual function which is called when the user presses or releases a mouse button or moves the mouse. It has to be implemented by the derived class.

Parameters:

  | p | point

Implemented in QwtDial, QwtSlider, and QwtWheel.

Referenced by mousePressEvent(), and setPosition().

virtual void QwtAbstractSlider::getScrollMode | ( | const QPoint & | p,
|  | int & | scrollMode,
|  | int & | direction |
| ) |  |  | `[protected, pure virtual]`

Determine what to do when the user presses a mouse button.

This function is abstract and has to be implemented by derived classes. It is called on a mousePress event. The derived class can determine what should happen next in dependence of the position where the mouse was pressed by returning scrolling mode and direction. QwtAbstractSlider knows the following modes:

QwtAbstractSlider::ScrNone
  Scrolling switched off. Don't change the value.
QwtAbstractSlider::ScrMouse
  Change the value while the user keeps the button pressed and moves the mouse.
QwtAbstractSlider::ScrTimer
  Automatic scrolling. Increment the value in the specified direction as long as the user keeps the button pressed.
QwtAbstractSlider::ScrPage
  Automatic scrolling. Same as ScrTimer, but increment by page size.

Parameters:

  | p | point where the mouse was pressed

Return values:

  | scrollMode | The scrolling mode
  | direction | direction: 1, 0, or -1.

Implemented in QwtDial, QwtSlider, and QwtWheel.
