This document provides code examples for developing a simple notepad application using RingQt. It defines global variables to store the active file name, text and background colors, font, and a website URL. It then shows how to create the main window with menus to open, save, and exit files, as well as options to change colors and font.

1. Ring Documentation, Release 1.10
65.51 Change Focus
The next example change the focus using the ENTER key.
load "guilib.ring"
new qApp {
win = new qWidget() {
resize(600,600)
SetWindowTitle("Change Focus")
text1 = new qLineEdit(win)
text2 = new qLineEdit(win)
text3 = new qLineEdit(win)
text4 = new qLineEdit(win)
layout1 = new qVBoxLayout() {
AddWidget(text1)
AddWidget(text2)
AddWidget(text3)
AddWidget(text4)
}
setLayout(Layout1)

2. Ring Documentation, Release 1.10
aList = [text1,text2,text3,text4]
oFilter = new qallevents(win)
oFilter.setKeyPressEvent("pWork()")
installeventfilter(oFilter)
show()
}
exec()
}
func pWork
nCode = oFilter.getkeycode()
if nCode = 16777220 # ENTER Key
for x=1 to len(aList)
if aList[x].HasFocus()
t = x+1
if t > len(aList) t=1 ok
aList[t].SetFocus(0)
exit
ok
next
ok
65.52 Regular Expressions
The next example uses the Regular Expressions classes.
load "guilib.ring"
new qApp
{
see "Using Regular Expressions" + nl
exp = new qregularexpression() {
setPattern("dd w+")
see pattern() + nl
match = match("33 one",0,0,0)
see match.hasmatch() + nl
match = match("3 one",0,0,0)
see match.hasmatch() + nl
match = match("welcome 11 one",0,0,0)
see match.hasmatch() + nl
matched = match.captured(0)
see matched + nl
}
exp = new qregularexpression() {
setPattern("^(dd)/(dd)/(dddd)$")
see pattern() + nl
match = match("08/12/1985",0,0,0)
see match.hasmatch() + nl
day = match.captured(1)
month = match.captured(2)
year = match.captured(3)
see day + nl + month + nl + year + nl
see "(" + match.capturedStart(1) + "," + match.capturedEnd(1)+ ")" + nl
see "(" + match.capturedStart(2) + "," + match.capturedEnd(2)+ ")" + nl
see "(" + match.capturedStart(3) + "," + match.capturedEnd(3)+ ")" + nl

65.53 Simple Client and Server Example
In this section we will learn about creating simple Client and Server Application
Load "guilib.ring"
new qApp {
oClient = new Client { client() }
oServer = new Server { server() }
exec()
}
Class Client
win1 lineedit1 cOutput=""
oTcpSocket
func client
win1 = new qwidget()
new qpushbutton(win1) {
setgeometry(50,50,100,30)
settext("connect")
setclickevent("oClient.Connect()")
}
lineedit1 = new qtextedit(win1) {
setGeometry(150,50,200,300)
}
win1 {
setwindowtitle("client")
setgeometry(10,100,400,400)
show()

}
func connect
cOutput = "Connect to host 127.0.0.1 port 9999" + nl
lineedit1.settext(cOutput)
oTcpSocket = new qTcpSocket(win1) {
setconnectedevent("oClient.pConnected()")
setreadyreadevent("oClient.pRead()")
connecttohost("127.0.0.1",9999,3,0)
waitforconnected(5000)
}
func pConnected
cOutput += "Connected!" + nl
lineedit1.settext(cOutput)
func pRead
cOutput += "Ready Read!" + nl
lineedit1.settext(cOutput)
cOutput += oTcpSocket.readall().data() + nl
lineedit1.settext(cOutput)
Class Server
win1 lineedit1
oTcpServer oTcpClient
cOutput = ""
func server
win1 = new qwidget()
lineedit1 = new qtextedit(win1) {
setGeometry(150,50,200,300)
}
win1 {

setgeometry(450,100,400,400)
show()
}
oTcpServer = new qTcpServer(win1) {
setNewConnectionEvent("oServer.pNewConnection()")
oHostAddress = new qHostAddress()
oHostAddress.SetAddress("127.0.0.1")
listen(oHostAddress,9999)
}
cOutput = "Server Started" + nl +
"listen to port 9999" + nl
lineedit1.settext(cOutput)
Func pNewConnection
oTcpClient = oTcpServer.nextPendingConnection()

5. Ring Documentation, Release 1.10
cOutput += "Accept Connection" + nl
lineedit1.settext(cOutput)
oTcpClient {
cStr ="Hello from server to client!"+char(13)+char(10)
write(cStr,len(cStr))
flush()

close()
}
The application during the runtime
65.54 Dynamic Objects
We may create objects in the runtime and add them to windows.
Example:
load "guilib.ring"
oFormDesigner = new FormDesigner { start("oFormDesigner") }
Class FormDesigner
winToolBox winForm
aObjects = []
func start cObjectName
oApp = new qApp
winToolBox = new qWidget()
winToolBox.setWindowTitle("ToolBox")
65.54. Dynamic Objects 752

6. Ring Documentation, Release 1.10
winToolBox.move(10,10)
winToolBox.resize(300,600)
btn = new qPushButton(winToolBox)
btn.resize(300,30)
btn.setText("Create Button")
btn.setClickEvent(cObjectName+".pCreateButton()")
btn.show()
winToolBox.show()
winForm = new qWidget() {
move(400,50)
setWindowTitle("Form Designer")
resize(600,600)
show()
}
oApp.exec()
func pCreateButton
nCount = len(aObjects)
aObjects + new MyButton(winForm)
{
nIndex = nCount + 1
setText("Button"+ nIndex)
Move(30*nIndex,30*nIndex)
resize(100,30)
show()
}
Class MyButton from qPushButton
nIndex = 0
65.55 Weight History Application
The next sample help in recording (Date, Time and Weight).
Load "guilib.ring"
MyApp = new qApp
{
$ApplicationObject = "oApp" # To be used when calling events
oApp = new App
exec()
oApp.CloseDatabase()
}
class App
cDir = currentdir() + "/"
