Desktop and Mobile development using RingQt[edit | edit source]

In this chapter we will learn how to use the Qt framework classes in our Ring applications to create Desktop and Mobile Applications.

The First GUI Application[edit | edit source]

In this example we will create an application to ask the user about his/her name. When the user type the name in the textbox then click on "Say Hello" button, the textbox value will be updated by adding "Hello " to the name.

	Load "guilib.ring"

	MyApp = New qApp {

		win1 = new qWidget() {

			setwindowtitle("Hello World")
			setGeometry(100,100,370,250)

			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()")
			}

			btn1 = new qpushbutton(win1) {
				setGeometry(150,200,100,30)
				settext("Close")
				setclickevent("pClose()")
			}

			lineedit1 = new qlineedit(win1) {
				setGeometry(10,100,350,30)
			}

			show()
		}

		exec()
	}

	Func pHello  
		lineedit1.settext( "Hello " + lineedit1.text())

	Func pClose 
		MyApp.quit()

Program Output:

At first we type the name in the textbox

Then we click on the say hello button

Using Layout[edit | edit source]

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()

Using the QTextEdit Class[edit | edit source]

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

Using the QListWidget Class[edit | edit source]

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() )
			}

			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())
		}

Other Widgets Events[edit | edit source]

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 setValueChangedEvent()

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()

		}

		exec()
	}

	func pIncrease
		progress1 { setvalue(value()+1)  }

	func pchange
		win1.setwindowtitle("value : " + progress1.value() )

The Cards Game[edit | edit source]

In the next example we will see a simple Cards game developed using RingQt

Each player get 5 cards, the cards are unknown to any one. each time one player click on one card to see it. if the card is identical to another card the play get point for each card. if the card value is "5" the player get points for all visible cards.

The application during the runtime

.. note:: in the previous screen shot the player get the card number '5' but his score is not increased because he opened this card while no other cards are visible!

The next screen shot while running the game using a Mobile (Android)

.. note:: using Qt we can run the same application on other Mobile systems
