This document contains examples of using various Qt GUI widgets and classes in Ring. The examples demonstrate using QFrame to create multiple frames in a window, using QLabel to display an image, creating a menu bar and setting a stylesheet, handling events from QLineEdit and displaying a QMessageBox, responding to signals from widgets like QProgressBar and QCheckBox, and using the QTimer class to periodically update a label and animate a QProgressBar.

1. Ring Documentation, Release 1.5.2
55.24 Using QFrame
In this example we will learn about using the QFrame class
Load "guilib.ring"
New qApp {
win1 = new qMainWindow() {
setwindowtitle("Using QFrame")
for x = 0 to 10
frame1 = new qframe(win1,0) {
setGeometry(100,20+50*x,400,30)
setframestyle(QFrame_Raised | QFrame_WinPanel)
}
next
showMaximized()
}
exec()
}

menu1 = new qmenubar(win1) {
sub1 = addmenu("File")
sub1 {
oAction = new qAction(win1) {
settext("New")
setenabled(false)
}
addaction(oAction)
oAction = new qAction(win1) {
settext("Open")

}
addaction(oAction)
addseparator()
oAction = new qaction(win1)

stop: 0 #eef, stop: 1 #ccf);")

55.27 QLineEdit Events and QMessageBox
In this example we will learn about using QLineEdit Events and displaying a Messagebox
Load "guilib.ring"
MyApp = New qApp {
win1 = new qWidget() {
setwindowtitle("Welcome")
setGeometry(100,100,400,300)
label1 = new qLabel(win1) {
settext("What is your name ?")
setGeometry(10,20,350,30)
setalignment(Qt_AlignHCenter)
}
btn1 = new qpushbutton(win1) {
setGeometry(10,200,100,30)
settext("Say Hello")
setclickevent("pHello()")
}
btn1 = new qpushbutton(win1) {
setGeometry(150,200,100,30)
settext("Close")
setclickevent("pClose()")
}
lineedit1 = new qlineedit(win1) {
setGeometry(10,100,350,30)
settextchangedevent("pChange()")
setreturnpressedevent("penter()")
}

6. Ring Documentation, Release 1.5.2
show()
}
exec()
}
Func pHello
lineedit1.settext( "Hello " + lineedit1.text())
Func pClose
MyApp.quit()
Func pChange
win1 { setwindowtitle( lineedit1.text() ) }
Func pEnter
new qmessagebox(win1) {
setwindowtitle("Thanks")
settext("Hi " + lineedit1.text() )
setstylesheet("background-color : white")
show()
}

55.27. QLineEdit Events and QMessageBox 580

7. Ring Documentation, Release 1.5.2
55.28 Other Widgets Events
Each Qt signal can be used in RingQt, just add Set before the signal name and add event after the signal name to get
the method that can be used to determine the event code.
For example the QProgressBar class contains a signal named valueChanged() To use it just use the function setVal-
ueChangedEvent()
Example:
Load "guilib.ring"
New qApp {
win1 = new qMainWindow() {
setwindowtitle("QProgressBar valueChanged Event")
progress1 = new qprogressbar(win1) {
setGeometry(100,100,350,30)
setvalue(10)
setvaluechangedevent("pChange()")
}
new qpushbutton(win1) {
setGeometry(10,10,100,30)
settext("increase")
setclickevent("pIncrease()")
}
showMaximized()
}
55.28. Other Widgets Events 581

8. Ring Documentation, Release 1.5.2
exec()
}
func pIncrease
progress1 { setvalue(value()+1) }
func pchange
win1.setwindowtitle("value : " + progress1.value() )
The application during the runtime
Another example for the stateChanged event of the QCheckBox class
Load "guilib.ring"
New qApp {
win1 = new qMainWindow() {
setwindowtitle("QCheckBox")
new qcheckbox(win1) {
setGeometry(100,100,100,30)
settext("New Customer!")
setstatechangedevent("pchange()")
}
showMaximized()
}
exec()
}
Func pChange
new qMessageBox(Win1) {
setWindowTitle("Checkbox")
settext("State Changed!")
show()
}
The application during the runtime

9. Ring Documentation, Release 1.5.2
55.29 Using the QTimer Class
In this example we will learn about using the QTimer class
Load "guilib.ring"
new qApp {
win1 = new qwidget() {
setgeometry(100,100,200,70)
setwindowtitle("Timer")
label1 = new qlabel(win1) {
setgeometry(10,10,200,30)
settext(thetime())
}
new qtimer(win1) {
setinterval(1000)
settimeoutevent("pTime()")
start()
}
show()
}
exec()
}
func ptime
label1.settext(thetime())
Func thetime
return "Time : " + Time()

55.30 Using QProgressBar and Timer
In this example we will learn about using the “animated” QProgressBar class and Timer
###------------------------------------
### ProgressBar and Timer Example
Load "guilib.ring"
new qApp
{
win1 = new qwidget()
{
setgeometry(100,100,400,100)
setwindowtitle("Timer and ProgressBar")
LabelMan = new qlabel(win1)
{
setgeometry(10,10,200,30)
settext(theTime()) ### ==>> func
}
TimerMan = new qtimer(win1)
{
setinterval(1000)
settimeoutevent("pTime()") ### ==>> func
start()
}
BarMan = new qprogressbar(win1)
{
setGeometry(100,50,300,10) ### Position X y, Length, Thickness
setvalue(0) ### Percent filled
}
show()
}
exec()
}
func pTime
LabelMan.settext(theTime()) ### ==>> func
Increment = 10
if BarMan.value() >= 100 ### ProgressBar start over.
BarMan.setvalue(0)
ok
