This document provides examples of using various Qt GUI classes in Ring programming language. The examples demonstrate how to use vertical layouts, QTextEdit widget, QListWidget widget, QTreeView widget with QFileSystemModel, QTreeWidget and QTreeWidgetItem classes, QComboBox widget, and creating a menubar with QMenuBar class.

1. Ring Documentation, Release 1.5.1
55.2 Using Layout
The next example is just an upgrade to the previous application to use the vertical layout.
Load "guilib.ring"
MyApp = New qApp {
win1 = new qWidget() {
setwindowtitle("Hello World")
setGeometry(100,100,400,130)
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()")
}
btn2 = new qpushbutton(win1) {
setGeometry(150,200,100,30)
settext("Close")
setclickevent("pClose()")
}
lineedit1 = new qlineedit(win1) {
setGeometry(10,100,350,30)
}
layout1 = new qVBoxLayout() {
addwidget(label1)
addwidget(lineedit1)
addwidget(btn1)
addwidget(btn2)
}
win1.setlayout(layout1)
show()
}
exec()
}
Func pHello
lineedit1.settext( "Hello " + lineedit1.text())
Func pClose
MyApp.quit()
The application during the runtime!
55.2. Using Layout 535

2. Ring Documentation, Release 1.5.1
55.3 Using the QTextEdit Class
In this example we will use the QTextEdit Class
Load "guilib.ring"
New qApp {
win1 = new qWidget() {
setwindowtitle("QTextEdit Class")
setGeometry(100,100,500,500)
new qtextedit(win1) {
setGeometry(10,10,480,480)
}
show()
}
exec()
}
During the runtime we can paste rich text in the qtextedit widget
55.3. Using the QTextEdit Class 536

3. Ring Documentation, Release 1.5.1
55.4 Using the QListWidget Class
In this example we will use the QListWidget Class
Load "guilib.ring"
New qApp {
win1 = new qWidget() {
setGeometry(100,100,400,400)
list1 = new qlistwidget(win1) {
setGeometry(150,100,200,200)
alist = ["one","two","three","four","five"]
for x in alist additem(x) next
setcurrentrow(3,2)
win1.setwindowtitle("Items Count : " + count() )
}
55.4. Using the QListWidget Class 537

4. Ring Documentation, Release 1.5.1
btn1 = new qpushbutton(win1) {
setGeometry(10,200,100,30)
settext("selected item")
setclickevent("pWork()")
}
btn2 = new qpushbutton(win1) {
setGeometry(10,240,100,30)
settext("Delete item")
setclickevent("pWork2()")
}
show()
}
exec()
}
func pWork
btn1.settext(string(list1.currentrow()))
func pWork2
list1 {
takeitem(currentrow())
}
The application during the runtime
55.4. Using the QListWidget Class 538

5. Ring Documentation, Release 1.5.1
Another Example:
Load "guilib.ring"
New qApp {

list1 = new qlistwidget(win1) {
setGeometry(150,100,200,200)
alist = ["one","two","three","four","five"]
for x in alist additem(x) next
setcurrentrow(3,2)
win1.setwindowtitle("Items Count : " + count() )
}
btn1 = new qpushbutton(win1) {
setGeometry(10,200,100,30)
settext("selected item")
setclickevent("pWork()")
}
btn2 = new qpushbutton(win1) {
setGeometry(10,240,100,30)
settext("Delete item")
setclickevent("pWork2()")
}
show()
}
exec()
}
func pWork
nbrOfItems = list1.count()
curItemNbr = list1.currentrow()
curValue = list1.item(list1.currentrow()).text()
win1.setwindowtitle( "After Select - NbrOfItems: " + nbrOfItems +
" CurItemNbr: " + curItemNbr + " CurValue: " + curValue )
btn1.settext( string(list1.currentrow() ) + " --- " +
list1.item(list1.currentrow()).text() )
func pWork2
list1 {
takeitem(currentrow())
nbrOfItems = count()
curItemNbr = currentrow()
curValue = item(currentrow()).text()
55.4. Using the QListWidget Class 539

6. Ring Documentation, Release 1.5.1
win1.setwindowtitle("After Delete - NbrOfItems: " + nbrOfItems +
" CurItemNbr: " + curItemNbr +" CurValue: " + curValue )
}

Load "guilib.ring"
New qApp {
win1 = New qWidget() {
setwindowtitle("Using QTreeView and QFileSystemModel")
setGeometry(100,100,500,400)
New qtreeview(win1) {
setGeometry(00,00,500,400)
oDir = new QDir()
ofile = new QFileSystemModel()
ofile.setrootpath(oDir.currentpath())
setmodel(ofile)
}
show()
}
exec()
}
