| 30 | \title Digital Clock Example
|
|---|
| 31 |
|
|---|
| 32 | The Digital Clock example shows how to use QLCDNumber to display a
|
|---|
| 33 | number with LCD-like digits.

|

| 37 | This example also demonstrates how QTimer can be used to update a widget
|
|---|
| 38 | at regular intervals.

|

| 40 | \section1 DigitalClock Class Definition
|
|---|
| 41 |
|
|---|
| 42 | The \c DigitalClock class provides a clock widget showing the time with
|
|---|
| 43 | hours and minutes separated by a blinking colon. We subclass QLCDNumber
|
|---|
| 44 | and implement a private slot called \c showTime() to update the clock
|
|---|
| 45 | display:

| 49 | \section1 DigitalClock Class Implementation
|
|---|
| 50 |
|
|---|
| 51 | \snippet examples/widgets/digitalclock/digitalclock.cpp 0
|
|---|
| 52 |
|
|---|
| 53 | In the constructor, we first change the look of the LCD numbers. The
|
|---|
| 54 | QLCDNumber::Filled style produces raised segments filled with the
|
|---|
| 55 | foreground color (typically black). We also set up a one-second timer
|
|---|
| 56 | to keep track of the current time, and we connect
|
|---|
| 57 | its \l{QTimer::timeout()}{timeout()} signal to the private \c showTime() slot
|
|---|
| 58 | so that the display is updated every second. Then, we
|
|---|
| 59 | call the \c showTime() slot; without this call, there would be a one-second
|
|---|
| 60 | delay at startup before the time is shown.
|
|---|
| 61 |
|
|---|
| 62 | \snippet examples/widgets/digitalclock/digitalclock.cpp 1
|
|---|
| 63 | \snippet examples/widgets/digitalclock/digitalclock.cpp 2
|
|---|
| 64 |
|
|---|
| 65 | The \c showTime() slot is called whenever the clock display needs
|
|---|
| 66 | to be updated.
|
|---|
| 67 |
|
|---|
| 68 | The current time is converted into a string with the format "hh:mm".
|
|---|
| 69 | When QTime::second() is a even number, the colon in the string is
|
|---|
| 70 | replaced with a space. This makes the colon appear and vanish every
|
|---|
| 71 | other second.
|
|---|
| 72 |
|
|---|
| 73 | Finally, we call QLCDNumber::display() to update the widget.
