DESCRIPTION
The QHeader class provides a header row or column, e.g. for tables and
listviews.
This class provides a header, e.g. a vertical header to display row
labels, or a horizontal header to display column labels. It is used by
QTable and QListView for example.
A header is composed of one or more sections, each of which can display
a text label and an iconset. A sort indicator (an arrow) can also be
displayed using setSortIndicator().
Sections are added with addLabel() and removed with removeLabel(). The
label and iconset are set in addLabel() and can be changed later with
setLabel(). Use count() to retrieve the number of sections in the
header.
The orientation of the header is set with setOrientation(). If
setStretchEnabled() is TRUE, the sections will expand to take up the
full width (height for vertical headers) of the header. The user can
resize the sections manually if setResizeEnabled() is TRUE. Call
adjustHeaderSize() to have the sections resize to occupy the full width
(or height).
A section can be moved with moveSection(). If setMovingEnabled() is
TRUE (the default)the user may drag a section from one position to
another. If a section is moved, the index positions at which sections
were added (with addLabel()), may not be the same after the move. You
don't have to worry about this in practice because the QHeader API
works in terms of section numbers, so it doesn't matter where a
particular section has been moved to.
If you want the current index position of a section call mapToIndex()
giving it the section number. (This is the number returned by the
addLabel() call which created the section.) If you want to get the
section number of a section at a particular index position call
mapToSection() giving it the index number.
Here's an example to clarify mapToSection() and mapToIndex():
<center>.nf
</center>
<center>.nf
</center>
In the example above, if we wanted to find out which section is at
index position 3 we'd call mapToSection(3) and get a section number of
1 since section 1 was moved. Similarly, if we wanted to know which
index position section 2 occupied we'd call mapToIndex(2) and get an
index of 1.
QHeader provides the clicked(), pressed() and released() signals. If
the user changes the size of a section, the sizeChange() signal is
emitted. If you want to have a sizeChange() signal emitted continuously
whilst the user is resizing (rather than just after the resizing is
finished), use setTracking(). If the user moves a section the
indexChange() signal is emitted.

MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATIONQHeader::QHeader ( QWidget * parent = 0, const char * name = 0 )
Constructs a horizontal header called name, with parent parent.
QHeader::QHeader ( int n, QWidget * parent = 0, const char * name = 0 )
Constructs a horizontal header called name, with n sections and parent
parent.
QHeader::~QHeader ()
Destroys the header and all its sections.
int QHeader::addLabel ( const QString & s, int size = -1 )
Adds a new section with label text s. Returns the index position where
the section was added (at the right for horizontal headers, at the
bottom for vertical headers). The section's width is set to size. If
size < 0, an appropriate size for the text s is chosen.
int QHeader::addLabel ( const QIconSet & iconset, const QString & s, int size
= -1 )
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It
behaves essentially like the above function.
Adds a new section with iconset iconset and label text s. Returns the
index position where the section was added (at the right for horizontal
headers, at the bottom for vertical headers). The section's width is
set to size, unless size is negative in which case the size is
calculated taking account of the size of the text.
void QHeader::adjustHeaderSize ()
Adjusts the size of the sections to fit the size of the header as
completely as possible. Only sections for which isStretchEnabled() is
TRUE will be resized.
int QHeader::cellAt ( int pos ) const
This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source working.
We strongly advise against using it in new code.
Use sectionAt() instead.
Returns the index at which the section is displayed, which contains pos
in widget coordinates, or -1 if pos is outside the header sections.
int QHeader::cellPos ( int i ) const
This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source working.
We strongly advise against using it in new code.
Use sectionPos() instead.
Returns the position in pixels of the section that is displayed at the
index i. The position is measured from the start of the header.
int QHeader::cellSize ( int i ) const
This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source working.
We strongly advise against using it in new code.
Use sectionSize() instead.
Returns the size in pixels of the section that is displayed at the
index i.
void QHeader::clicked ( int section ) [signal]
If isClickEnabled() is TRUE, this signal is emitted when the user
clicks section section.
See also pressed() and released().
int QHeader::count () const
Returns the number of sections in the header. See the "count" property
for details.
int QHeader::headerWidth () const
Returns the total width of all the header columns.
QIconSet * QHeader::iconSet ( int section ) const
Returns the icon set for section section. If the section does not
exist, 0 is returned.
void QHeader::indexChange ( int section, int fromIndex, int toIndex ) [signal]
This signal is emitted when the user moves section section from index
position fromIndex, to index position toIndex.
bool QHeader::isClickEnabled ( int section = -1 ) const
Returns TRUE if section section is clickable; otherwise returns FALSE.
If section is out of range (negative or larger than count() - 1):
returns TRUE if all sections are clickable; otherwise returns FALSE.
See also setClickEnabled().
bool QHeader::isMovingEnabled () const
Returns TRUE if the header sections can be moved; otherwise returns
FALSE. See the "moving" property for details.
bool QHeader::isResizeEnabled ( int section = -1 ) const
Returns TRUE if section section is resizeable; otherwise returns FALSE.
If section is -1 then this function applies to all sections, i.e.
returns TRUE if all sections are resizeable; otherwise returns FALSE.
See also setResizeEnabled().
bool QHeader::isStretchEnabled () const
Returns TRUE if the header sections always take up the full width (or
height) of the header; otherwise returns FALSE. See the "stretching"
property for details.
bool QHeader::isStretchEnabled ( int section ) const
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It
behaves essentially like the above function.
Returns TRUE if section section will resize to take up the full width
(or height) of the header; otherwise returns FALSE. If at least one
section has stretch enabled the sections will always take up the full
width of the header.
See also setStretchEnabled().
QString QHeader::label ( int section ) const
Returns the text for section section. If the section does not exist, a
QString::null is returned.
Example: helpsystem/tooltip.cpp.
int QHeader::mapToActual ( int l ) const
This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source working.
We strongly advise against using it in new code.
Use mapToIndex() instead.
Translates from logical index l to actual index (index at which the
section l is displayed) . Returns -1 if l is outside the legal range.
See also mapToLogical().
int QHeader::mapToIndex ( int section ) const
Returns the index position corresponding to the specified section
number.
Warning: If QTable is used to move header sections as a result of user
interaction, the mapping exposed by this function will not reflect the
order of the headers in the table; i.e., QTable does not call
moveSection() to move sections but handles move operations internally.
See also mapToSection().
int QHeader::mapToLogical ( int a ) const
This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source working.
We strongly advise against using it in new code.
Use mapToSection() instead.

displayed) to logical index of the section. Returns -1 if a is outside
the legal range.
See also mapToActual().
int QHeader::mapToSection ( int index ) const
Returns the number of the section that corresponds to the specified
index.
Warning: If QTable is used to move header sections as a result of user
interaction, the mapping exposed by this function will not reflect the
order of the headers in the table; i.e., QTable does not call
moveSection() to move sections but handles move operations internally.
See also mapToIndex().
void QHeader::moveCell ( int fromIdx, int toIdx ) [virtual]
This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source working.
We strongly advise against using it in new code.

We strongly advise against using it in new code.
Use clicked() instead.
This signal is emitted when a part of the header is clicked. index is
the index at which the section is displayed.
In a list view this signal would typically be connected to a slot that
sorts the specified column (or row).
void QHeader::sectionHandleDoubleClicked ( int section ) [signal]
This signal is emitted when the user doubleclicks on the edge (handle)
of section section.

Warning: does not repaint or send out signals
void QHeader::setClickEnabled ( bool enable, int section = -1 ) [virtual]
If enable is TRUE, any clicks on section section will result in
clicked() signals being emitted; otherwise the section will ignore
clicks.

existing sections and will be applied to any new sections that are
added.
See also moving and setResizeEnabled().
void QHeader::setLabel ( int section, const QString & s, int size = -1 )
[virtual]

size if size >= 0; otherwise it is left unchanged. Any icon set that
has been set for this section remains unchanged.
If the section does not exist, nothing happens.
Examples:
void QHeader::setLabel ( int section, const QIconSet & iconset, const QString
& s, int size = -1 ) [virtual]
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It
behaves essentially like the above function.
Sets the icon for section section to iconset and the text to s. The
section's width is set to size if size >= 0; otherwise it is left
unchanged.
If the section does not exist, nothing happens.
void QHeader::setMovingEnabled ( bool ) [virtual]
Sets whether the header sections can be moved. See the "moving"
property for details.

details.
void QHeader::setResizeEnabled ( bool enable, int section = -1 ) [virtual]
If enable is TRUE the user may resize section section; otherwise the
section may not be manually resized.
If section is negative (the default) then the enable value is set for
all existing sections and will be applied to any new sections that are
added. Example:
// Allow resizing of all current and future sections
header->setResizeEnabled(TRUE);
// Disable resizing of section 3, (the fourth section added)
header->setResizeEnabled(FALSE, 3);
If the user resizes a section, a sizeChange() signal is emitted.
See also moving, setClickEnabled(), and tracking.
void QHeader::setSortIndicator ( int section, SortOrder order )
Sets a sort indicator onto the specified section. The indicator's order
is either Ascending or Descending.
Only one section can show a sort indicator at any one time. If you
don't want any section to show a sort indicator pass a section number
of -1.
See also sortIndicatorSection() and sortIndicatorOrder().
void QHeader::setSortIndicator ( int section, bool ascending = TRUE )
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It
behaves essentially like the above function.
This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source working.
We strongly advise against using it in new code.
Use the other overload instead.
void QHeader::setStretchEnabled ( bool b, int section ) [virtual]
If b is TRUE, section section will be resized when the header is
resized, so that the sections take up the full width (or height for
vertical headers) of the header; otherwise section section will be set
to be unstretchable and will not resize when the header is resized.
If section is -1, and if b is TRUE, then all sections will be resized
equally when the header is resized so that they take up the full width
(or height for vertical headers) of the header; otherwise all the
sections will be set to be unstretchable and will not resize when the
header is resized.
See also adjustHeaderSize().
void QHeader::setStretchEnabled ( bool b )
Sets whether the header sections always take up the full width (or
height) of the header to b. See the "stretching" property for details.
void QHeader::setTracking ( bool enable ) [virtual]
Sets whether the sizeChange() signal is emitted continuously to enable.
See the "tracking" property for details.
void QHeader::sizeChange ( int section, int oldSize, int newSize ) [signal]
This signal is emitted when the user has changed the size of a section
from oldSize to newSize. This signal is typically connected to a slot
that repaints the table or list that contains the header.
SortOrder QHeader::sortIndicatorOrder () const
Returns the implied sort order of the QHeaders sort indicator.
See also setSortIndicator() and sortIndicatorSection().
int QHeader::sortIndicatorSection () const
Returns the section showing the sort indicator or -1 if there is no
sort indicator.
See also setSortIndicator() and sortIndicatorOrder().
bool QHeader::tracking () const
Returns TRUE if the sizeChange() signal is emitted continuously;
otherwise returns FALSE. See the "tracking" property for details.
Property Documentation
