enum QWidget::BackgroundOrigin

Member Function Documentation

QWidget::QWidget ( QWidget * parent, const char * name, Qt::WindowFlags f = 0 )

This is an overloaded function.

Qt::BackgroundMode QWidget::backgroundMode () const

Returns the color role used for painting the widget's background.

Use QPalette(backgroundRole(()) instead.

See also setBackgroundMode().

QPoint QWidget::backgroundOffset () const

Always returns QPoint().

BackgroundOrigin QWidget::backgroundOrigin () const

Always returns WindowOrigin.

See also setBackgroundOrigin().

QString QWidget::caption () const

Use windowTitle() instead.

See also setCaption().

QWidget * QWidget::childAt ( int x, int y, bool includeThis ) const

Use the childAt() overload that doesn't have an includeThis parameter.

For example, if you have code like

 return widget->childAt(x, y, true);

you can rewrite it as

 QWidget *child = widget->childAt(x, y, true);
 if (child)
     return child;
 if (widget->rect().contains(x, y))
     return widget;

Use the single point argument overload instead.

bool QWidget::close ( bool alsoDelete )

Closes the widget.

Use the no-argument overload instead.

void QWidget::drawText ( int x, int y, const QString & s )

Drawing may only take place in a QPaintEvent. Overload paintEvent() to do your drawing and call update() to schedule a replaint whenever necessary. See also QPainter.

void QWidget::erase ()

void QWidget::erase ( const QRegion & rgn )

This is an overloaded function.

Clear the given region, rgn.

Drawing may only take place in a QPaintEvent. Overload paintEvent() to do your erasing and call update() to schedule a replaint whenever necessary. See also QPainter.
