Detailed Description

The QTextTableCell class represents the properties of a cell in a QTextTable.

Table cells are pieces of document structure that belong to a table. The table orders cells into particular rows and columns; cells can also span multiple columns and rows.

Cells are usually created when a table is inserted into a document with QTextCursor::insertTable(), but they are also created and destroyed when a table is resized.

Cells contain information about their location in a table; you can obtain the row() and column() numbers of a cell, and its rowSpan() and columnSpan().

The format() of a cell describes the default character format of its contents. The firstCursorPosition() and lastCursorPosition() functions are used to obtain the extent of the cell in the document.

See also QTextTable and QTextTableFormat.

Member Function Documentation

QTextTableCell::QTextTableCell ()

Constructs an invalid table cell.

See also isValid().

QTextTableCell::QTextTableCell ( const QTextTableCell & other )

Copy constructor. Creates a new QTextTableCell object based on the other cell.

QTextTableCell::~QTextTableCell ()

Destroys the table cell.

QTextFrame::iterator QTextTableCell::begin () const

Returns a frame iterator pointing to the beginning of the table's cell.

See also end().

int QTextTableCell::column () const

Returns the number of the column in the table that contains this cell.

See also row().

int QTextTableCell::columnSpan () const

Returns the number of columns this cell spans. The default is 1.

See also rowSpan().

QTextFrame::iterator QTextTableCell::end () const

Returns a frame iterator pointing to the end of the table's cell.

See also begin().

QTextCursor QTextTableCell::firstCursorPosition () const

Returns the first valid cursor position in this cell.

See also lastCursorPosition().

QTextCharFormat QTextTableCell::format () const

Returns the cell's character format.

See also setFormat().

bool QTextTableCell::isValid () const

Returns true if this is a valid table cell; otherwise returns false.

QTextCursor QTextTableCell::lastCursorPosition () const

Returns the last valid cursor position in this cell.

See also firstCursorPosition().

int QTextTableCell::row () const

Returns the number of the row in the table that contains this cell.

See also column().

int QTextTableCell::rowSpan () const

Returns the number of rows this cell spans. The default is 1.

See also columnSpan().

void QTextTableCell::setFormat ( const QTextCharFormat & format )

Sets the cell's character format to format. This can for example be used to change the background color of the entire cell:

QTextTableCell cell = table->cellAt(2, 3); QTextCharFormat format = cell.format(); format.setBackground(Qt::blue); cell.setFormat(format);

This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.

See also format().

bool QTextTableCell::operator!= ( const QTextTableCell & other ) const

Returns true if this cell object and the other cell object describe different cells; otherwise returns false.

QTextTableCell & QTextTableCell::operator= ( const QTextTableCell & other )

Assigns the other table cell to this table cell.

bool QTextTableCell::operator== ( const QTextTableCell & other ) const

Returns true if this cell object and the other cell object describe the same cell; otherwise returns false.
