The document discusses displaying an image using QLabel in Ring. It loads an image file, creates a QLabel, sets the pixmap to display the image, and resizes the QLabel to fit the image. It then creates a timer that increments the image size on each timeout, displaying an animated resizing effect. The timer callback rescales the image to grow and resets it to the starting size when it reaches the box boundaries.

new qlabel(win1) {
image = new qpixmap("b:/mahmoud/photo/advice.jpg")

56.29 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()
}
56.29. Other Widgets Events 610

7. Ring Documentation, Release 1.5.4
exec()
}
func pIncrease
progress1 { setvalue(value()+1) }
func pchange
win1.setwindowtitle("value : " + progress1.value() )

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()
}

56.32 Display Scaled Image using QLabel
In this example we will learn about displaying and scaling an image so that it looks “animated” using the QLabel
widget
Load "guilib.ring"
#----------------------------------------------------
# REQUIRES: image = "C:RINGbinstock.jpg"
# imageStock: start dimensions for growing image
imageW = 200 ; imageH = 200 ; GrowBy = 4
###----------------------------------------------------
### Window and Box Size dimensions
WinWidth = 1280 ; WinHeight = 960
BoxWidth = WinWidth -80 ; BoxHeight = WinHeight -80
###----------------------------------------------------
New qapp {
win1 = new qwidget() {
setgeometry(50,50, WinWidth,WinHeight)
setwindowtitle("Animated Image - Display Image Scaled and Resized")
imageStock = new qlabel(win1) {
image = new qpixmap("C:RINGbinstock.jpg")
AspectRatio = image.width() / image.height()
imageW = 200
imageH = imageH / AspectRatio
### Size-H, Size-V, Aspect, Transform
setpixmap(image.scaled(imageW , imageH ,0,0))
PosLeft = (BoxWidth - imageW ) / 2
PosTop = (BoxHeight - imageH ) / 2
