Struct qt_gui::QMovie

#[repr(C)]
pub struct QMovie { /* private fields */ }

The QMovie class is a convenience class for playing movies with QImageReader.

C++ class: QMovie.

C++ documentation:

The QMovie class is a convenience class for playing movies with QImageReader.

This class is used to show simple animations without sound. If you want to display video and media content, use the Qt Multimedia multimedia framework instead.

First, create a QMovie object by passing either the name of a file or a pointer to a QIODevice containing an animated image format to QMovie's constructor. You can call isValid() to check if the image data is valid, before starting the movie. To start the movie, call start(). QMovie will enter Running state, and emit started() and stateChanged(). To get the current state of the movie, call state().

To display the movie in your application, you can pass your QMovie object to QLabel::setMovie(). Example:

QLabel label;
QMovie *movie = new QMovie(“animations/fire.gif”);
label.setMovie(movie);
movie->start();

Whenever a new frame is available in the movie, QMovie will emit updated(). If the size of the frame changes, resized() is emitted. You can call currentImage() or currentPixmap() to get a copy of the current frame. When the movie is done, QMovie emits finished(). If any error occurs during playback (i.e, the image file is corrupt), QMovie will emit error().

You can control the speed of the movie playback by calling setSpeed(), which takes the percentage of the original speed as an argument. Pause the movie by calling setPaused(true). QMovie will then enter Paused state and emit stateChanged(). If you call setPaused(false), QMovie will reenter Running state and start the movie again. To stop the movie, call stop().

Certain animation formats allow you to set the background color. You can call setBackgroundColor() to set the color, or backgroundColor() to retrieve the current background color.

currentFrameNumber() returns the sequence number of the current frame. The first frame in the animation has the sequence number 0. frameCount() returns the total number of frames in the animation, if the image format supports this. You can call loopCount() to get the number of times the movie should loop before finishing. nextFrameDelay() returns the number of milliseconds the current frame should be displayed.

QMovie can be instructed to cache frames of an animation by calling setCacheMode().

Call supportedFormats() for a list of formats that QMovie supports.

pub unsafe fn cache_mode(&self) -> CacheMode

This property holds the movie's cache mode

Calls C++ function: QMovie::CacheMode QMovie::cacheMode() const.

This property holds the movie’s cache mode

Caching frames can be useful when the underlying animation format handler that QMovie relies on to decode the animation data does not support jumping to particular frames in the animation, or even "rewinding" the animation to the beginning (for looping). Furthermore, if the image data comes from a sequential device, it is not possible for the underlying animation handler to seek back to frames whose data has already been read (making looping altogether impossible).

To aid in such situations, a QMovie object can be instructed to cache the frames, at the added memory cost of keeping the frames in memory for the lifetime of the object.

Returns a built-in Qt signal QObject::objectNameChanged that can be passed to qt_core::Signal::connect.

C++ documentation:

This signal is emitted after the object’s name has been changed. The new object name is passed as objectName.

Note: This is a private signal. It can be used in signal connections but cannot be emitted by the user.

Note: Notifier signal for property objectName.

See also QObject::objectName.

pub fn slot_delete_later(&self) -> Receiver<()>

Schedules this object for deletion.

Returns a built-in Qt slot QObject::deleteLater that can be passed to qt_core::Signal::connect.

C++ documentation:

Schedules this object for deletion.

The object will be deleted when control returns to the event loop. If the event loop is not running when this function is called (e.g. deleteLater() is called on an object before QCoreApplication::exec()), the object will be deleted once the event loop is started. If deleteLater() is called after the main event loop has stopped, the object will not be deleted. Since Qt 4.8, if deleteLater() is called on an object that lives in a thread with no running event loop, the object will be destroyed when the thread finishes.

Note that entering and leaving a new event loop (e.g., by opening a modal dialog) will not perform the deferred deletion; for the object to be deleted, the control must return to the event loop from which deleteLater() was called.

Note: It is safe to call this function more than once; when the first deferred deletion event is delivered, any pending events for the object are removed from the event queue.

See also destroyed() and QPointer.

pub unsafe fn block_signals(&self, b: bool) -> bool

If block is true, signals emitted by this object are blocked (i.e., emitting a signal will not invoke anything connected to it). If block is false, no such blocking will occur.

Calls C++ function: bool QObject::blockSignals(bool b).

C++ documentation:

If block is true, signals emitted by this object are blocked (i.e., emitting a signal will not invoke anything connected to it). If block is false, no such blocking will occur.

The return value is the previous value of signalsBlocked().

Note that the destroyed() signal will be emitted even if the signals for this object have been blocked.

Signals emitted while being blocked are not buffered.

See also signalsBlocked() and QSignalBlocker.

pub unsafe fn children(&self) -> Ref<QListOfQObject>

Returns a list of child objects. The QObjectList class is defined in the <QObject> header file as the following:

Calls C++ function: const QList<QObject*>& QObject::children() const.

C++ documentation:

Returns a list of child objects. The QObjectList class is defined in the <QObject> header file as the following:

  typedef QList<QObject*> QObjectList;

The first child added is the first object in the list and the last child added is the last object in the list, i.e. new children are appended at the end.

Note that the list order changes when QWidget children are raised or lowered. A widget that is raised becomes the last object in the list, and a widget that is lowered becomes the first object in the list.

See also findChild(), findChildren(), parent(), and setParent().

pub unsafe fn delete_later(&self)

Schedules this object for deletion.

Calls C++ function: [slot] void QObject::deleteLater().

C++ documentation:

Schedules this object for deletion.

The object will be deleted when control returns to the event loop. If the event loop is not running when this function is called (e.g. deleteLater() is called on an object before QCoreApplication::exec()), the object will be deleted once the event loop is started. If deleteLater() is called after the main event loop has stopped, the object will not be deleted. Since Qt 4.8, if deleteLater() is called on an object that lives in a thread with no running event loop, the object will be destroyed when the thread finishes.

Note that entering and leaving a new event loop (e.g., by opening a modal dialog) will not perform the deferred deletion; for the object to be deleted, the control must return to the event loop from which deleteLater() was called.

Note: It is safe to call this function more than once; when the first deferred deletion event is delivered, any pending events for the object are removed from the event queue.

Returns true if c1 and c2 are the same Unicode character; otherwise returns false.

Calls C++ function: bool operator==(QObject* o, const QPointer<QObject>& p).

Warning: no exact match found in C++ documentation. Below is the C++ documentation for bool operator==(QChar c1, QChar c2):

Returns true if c1 and c2 are the same Unicode character; otherwise returns false.

pub unsafe fn event(&self, event: impl CastInto<Ptr<QEvent>>) -> bool

This virtual function receives events to an object and should return true if the event e was recognized and processed.

Calls C++ function: virtual bool QObject::event(QEvent* event).

C++ documentation:

This virtual function receives events to an object and should return true if the event e was recognized and processed.

The event() function can be reimplemented to customize the behavior of an object.

Make sure you call the parent event class implementation for all the events you did not handle.

Example:

class MyClass : public QWidget
{
      Q_OBJECT
public:
      MyClass(QWidget *parent = 0);
      ~MyClass();
      bool event(QEvent* ev)
      {
          if (ev->type() == QEvent::PolishRequest) {
              // overwrite handling of PolishRequest if any
              doThings();
              return true;
          } else  if (ev->type() == QEvent::Show) {
              // complement handling of Show if any
              doThings2();
              QWidget::event(ev);
              return true;
          }
          // Make sure the rest of events are handled
          return QWidget::event(ev);
      }
};

See also installEventFilter(), timerEvent(), QCoreApplication::sendEvent(), and QCoreApplication::postEvent().

pub unsafe fn event_filter( &self, watched: impl CastInto<Ptr<QObject>>, event: impl CastInto<Ptr<QEvent>> ) -> bool

Filters events if this object has been installed as an event filter for the watched object.

Calls C++ function: virtual bool QObject::eventFilter(QObject* watched, QEvent* event).

C++ documentation:

Filters events if this object has been installed as an event filter for the watched object.

In your reimplementation of this function, if you want to filter the event out, i.e. stop it being handled further, return true; otherwise return false.

Example:

class MainWindow : public QMainWindow
{
public:
      MainWindow();
protected:
      bool eventFilter(QObject obj, QEvent ev);
private:
      QTextEdit *textEdit;
};
MainWindow::MainWindow()
{
      textEdit = new QTextEdit;
      setCentralWidget(textEdit);
      textEdit->installEventFilter(this);
}
bool MainWindow::eventFilter(QObject obj, QEvent event)
{
      if (obj == textEdit) {
          if (event->type() == QEvent::KeyPress) {
              QKeyEvent keyEvent = static_cast<QKeyEvent>(event);
              qDebug() << “Ate key press” << keyEvent->key();
              return true;
          } else {
              return false;
          }
      } else {
          // pass the event on to the parent class
          return QMainWindow::eventFilter(obj, event);
      }
}

Notice in the example above that unhandled events are passed to the base class's eventFilter() function, since the base class might have reimplemented eventFilter() for its own internal purposes.

Warning: If you delete the receiver object in this function, be sure to return true. Otherwise, Qt will forward the event to the deleted object and the program might crash.

See also installEventFilter().

pub unsafe fn find_child_q_object_2a( &self, a_name: impl CastInto<Ref<QString>>, options: QFlags<FindChildOption> ) -> QPtr<QObject>

Returns the child of this object that can be cast into type T and that is called name, or 0 if there is no such object. Omitting the name argument causes all object names to be matched. The search is performed recursively, unless options specifies the option FindDirectChildrenOnly.

Calls C++ function: QObject* QObject::findChild<QObject*>(const QString& aName = …, QFlags<Qt::FindChildOption> options = …) const.

C++ documentation:

Returns the child of this object that can be cast into type T and that is called name, or 0 if there is no such object. Omitting the name argument causes all object names to be matched. The search is performed recursively, unless options specifies the option FindDirectChildrenOnly.

If there is more than one child matching the search, the most direct ancestor is returned. If there are several direct ancestors, it is undefined which one will be returned. In that case, findChildren() should be used.

pub unsafe fn inherits(&self, classname: *const i8) -> bool

Returns true if this object is an instance of a class that inherits className or a QObject subclass that inherits className; otherwise returns false.

Calls C++ function: bool QObject::inherits(const char* classname) const.

C++ documentation:

Returns true if this object is an instance of a class that inherits className or a QObject subclass that inherits className; otherwise returns false.

A class is considered to inherit itself.

// QVBoxLayout inherits QObject and QLayoutItem
QVBoxLayout *layout = new QVBoxLayout;
layout->inherits(“QObject”);        // returns true
layout->inherits(“QLayoutItem”);    // returns true (even though QLayoutItem is not a QObject)

If you need to determine whether an object is an instance of a particular class for the purpose of casting it, consider using qobject_cast<Type *>(object) instead.

See also metaObject() and qobject_cast().

pub unsafe fn install_event_filter( &self, filter_obj: impl CastInto<Ptr<QObject>> )

Installs an event filter filterObj on this object. For example:

Calls C++ function: void QObject::installEventFilter(QObject* filterObj).

C++ documentation:

Installs an event filter filterObj on this object. For example:

  monitoredObj->installEventFilter(filterObj);

An event filter is an object that receives all events that are sent to this object. The filter can either stop the event or forward it to this object. The event filter filterObj receives events via its eventFilter() function. The eventFilter() function must return true if the event should be filtered, (i.e. stopped); otherwise it must return false.

If multiple event filters are installed on a single object, the filter that was installed last is activated first.

Here's a KeyPressEater class that eats the key presses of its monitored objects:

class KeyPressEater : public QObject
{
      Q_OBJECT
      ...
protected:
      bool eventFilter(QObject obj, QEvent event);
};
bool KeyPressEater::eventFilter(QObject obj, QEvent event)
{
      if (event->type() == QEvent::KeyPress) {
          QKeyEvent keyEvent = static_cast<QKeyEvent >(event);
          qDebug(“Ate key press %d”, keyEvent->key());
          return true;
      } else {
          // standard event processing
          return QObject::eventFilter(obj, event);
      }
}

And here's how to install it on two widgets:

KeyPressEater keyPressEater = new KeyPressEater(this);
QPushButton pushButton = new QPushButton(this);
QListView *listView = new QListView(this);
pushButton->installEventFilter(keyPressEater);
listView->installEventFilter(keyPressEater);

The QShortcut class, for example, uses this technique to intercept shortcut key presses.

Warning: If you delete the receiver object in your eventFilter() function, be sure to return true. If you return false, Qt sends the event to the deleted object and the program will crash.

Note that the filtering object must be in the same thread as this object. If filterObj is in a different thread, this function does nothing. If either filterObj or this object are moved to a different thread after calling this function, the event filter will not be called until both objects have the same thread affinity again (it is not removed).

See also removeEventFilter(), eventFilter(), and event().

pub unsafe fn is_widget_type(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the object is a widget; otherwise returns false.

Calls C++ function: bool QObject::isWidgetType() const.

C++ documentation:

Returns true if the object is a widget; otherwise returns false.

Calling this function is equivalent to calling inherits("QWidget"), except that it is much faster.

pub unsafe fn is_window_type(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the object is a window; otherwise returns false.

Calls C++ function: bool QObject::isWindowType() const.

C++ documentation:

Returns true if the object is a window; otherwise returns false.

Calling this function is equivalent to calling inherits("QWindow"), except that it is much faster.

pub unsafe fn kill_timer(&self, id: i32)

Kills the timer with timer identifier, id.

Calls C++ function: void QObject::killTimer(int id).

C++ documentation:

Kills the timer with timer identifier, id.

The timer identifier is returned by startTimer() when a timer event is started.

See also timerEvent() and startTimer().

pub unsafe fn meta_object(&self) -> Ptr<QMetaObject>

Returns a pointer to the meta-object of this object.

Calls C++ function: virtual const QMetaObject* QObject::metaObject() const.

C++ documentation:

Returns a pointer to the meta-object of this object.

A meta-object contains information about a class that inherits QObject, e.g. class name, superclass name, properties, signals and slots. Every QObject subclass that contains the Q_OBJECT macro will have a meta-object.

The meta-object information is required by the signal/slot connection mechanism and the property system. The inherits() function also makes use of the meta-object.

If you have no pointer to an actual object instance but still want to access the meta-object of a class, you can use staticMetaObject.

Example:

QObject *obj = new QPushButton;
obj->metaObject()->className();             // returns “QPushButton”
QPushButton::staticMetaObject.className();  // returns “QPushButton”

See also staticMetaObject.

pub unsafe fn move_to_thread(&self, thread: impl CastInto<Ptr<QThread>>)

Changes the thread affinity for this object and its children. The object cannot be moved if it has a parent. Event processing will continue in the targetThread.

Calls C++ function: void QObject::moveToThread(QThread* thread).

C++ documentation:

Changes the thread affinity for this object and its children. The object cannot be moved if it has a parent. Event processing will continue in the targetThread.

To move an object to the main thread, use QApplication::instance() to retrieve a pointer to the current application, and then use QApplication::thread() to retrieve the thread in which the application lives. For example:

myObject->moveToThread(QApplication::instance()->thread());

If targetThread is zero, all event processing for this object and its children stops.

Note that all active timers for the object will be reset. The timers are first stopped in the current thread and restarted (with the same interval) in the targetThread. As a result, constantly moving an object between threads can postpone timer events indefinitely.

A QEvent::ThreadChange event is sent to this object just before the thread affinity is changed. You can handle this event to perform any special processing. Note that any new events that are posted to this object will be handled in the targetThread.

Warning: This function is not thread-safe; the current thread must be same as the current thread affinity. In other words, this function can only "push" an object from the current thread to another thread, it cannot "pull" an object from any arbitrary thread to the current thread.

pub unsafe fn object_name(&self) -> CppBox<QString>

This property holds the name of this object

Calls C++ function: QString QObject::objectName() const.

C++ documentation:

This property holds the name of this object

You can find an object by name (and type) using findChild(). You can find a set of objects with findChildren().

qDebug(“MyClass::setPrecision(): (%s) invalid precision %f”,
         qPrintable(objectName()), newPrecision);

By default, this property contains an empty string.

Access functions:

QString	objectName() const
void	setObjectName(const QString &name)

Notifier signal:

void

objectNameChanged(const QString &objectName)

[see note below]

Note: This is a private signal. It can be used in signal connections but cannot be emitted by the user.

See also metaObject() and QMetaObject::className().

pub unsafe fn parent(&self) -> QPtr<QObject>

Returns a pointer to the parent object.

Calls C++ function: QObject* QObject::parent() const.

C++ documentation:

Returns a pointer to the parent object.

See also setParent() and children().

pub unsafe fn property(&self, name: *const i8) -> CppBox<QVariant>

Returns the value of the object's name property.

Calls C++ function: QVariant QObject::property(const char* name) const.

C++ documentation:

Returns the value of the object’s name property.

If no such property exists, the returned variant is invalid.

Information about all available properties is provided through the metaObject() and dynamicPropertyNames().

See also setProperty(), QVariant::isValid(), metaObject(), and dynamicPropertyNames().

pub unsafe fn qt_metacall( &self, arg1: Call, arg2: i32, arg3: *mut *mut c_void ) -> i32

Calls C++ function: virtual int QObject::qt_metacall(QMetaObject::Call arg1, int arg2, void** arg3).

pub unsafe fn qt_metacast(&self, arg1: *const i8) -> *mut c_void

Calls C++ function: virtual void* QObject::qt_metacast(const char* arg1).

pub unsafe fn remove_event_filter(&self, obj: impl CastInto<Ptr<QObject>>)

Removes an event filter object obj from this object. The request is ignored if such an event filter has not been installed.

Calls C++ function: void QObject::removeEventFilter(QObject* obj).

C++ documentation:

Removes an event filter object obj from this object. The request is ignored if such an event filter has not been installed.

All event filters for this object are automatically removed when this object is destroyed.

It is always safe to remove an event filter, even during event filter activation (i.e. from the eventFilter() function).

See also installEventFilter(), eventFilter(), and event().

pub unsafe fn set_object_name(&self, name: impl CastInto<Ref<QString>>)

This property holds the name of this object

Calls C++ function: void QObject::setObjectName(const QString& name).

C++ documentation:

This property holds the name of this object

You can find an object by name (and type) using findChild(). You can find a set of objects with findChildren().

qDebug(“MyClass::setPrecision(): (%s) invalid precision %f”,
         qPrintable(objectName()), newPrecision);

By default, this property contains an empty string.

Access functions:

QString	objectName() const
void	setObjectName(const QString &name)

Notifier signal:

void

objectNameChanged(const QString &objectName)

[see note below]

Note: This is a private signal. It can be used in signal connections but cannot be emitted by the user.

See also metaObject() and QMetaObject::className().

pub unsafe fn set_parent(&self, parent: impl CastInto<Ptr<QObject>>)

Makes the object a child of parent.

Calls C++ function: void QObject::setParent(QObject* parent).

C++ documentation:

Makes the object a child of parent.

See also parent() and children().

pub unsafe fn set_property( &self, name: *const i8, value: impl CastInto<Ref<QVariant>> ) -> bool

Sets the value of the object's name property to value.

Calls C++ function: bool QObject::setProperty(const char* name, const QVariant& value).

C++ documentation:

Sets the value of the object’s name property to value.

If the property is defined in the class using Q_PROPERTY then true is returned on success and false otherwise. If the property is not defined using Q_PROPERTY, and therefore not listed in the meta-object, it is added as a dynamic property and false is returned.

Information about all available properties is provided through the metaObject() and dynamicPropertyNames().

Dynamic properties can be queried again using property() and can be removed by setting the property value to an invalid QVariant. Changing the value of a dynamic property causes a QDynamicPropertyChangeEvent to be sent to the object.

Note: Dynamic properties starting with "_q_" are reserved for internal purposes.

See also property(), metaObject(), dynamicPropertyNames(), and QMetaProperty::write().

pub unsafe fn signals_blocked(&self) -> bool

Returns true if signals are blocked; otherwise returns false.

Calls C++ function: bool QObject::signalsBlocked() const.

C++ documentation:

Returns true if signals are blocked; otherwise returns false.

Signals are not blocked by default.

See also blockSignals() and QSignalBlocker.

pub unsafe fn start_timer_2a(&self, interval: i32, timer_type: TimerType) -> i32

Starts a timer and returns a timer identifier, or returns zero if it could not start a timer.

Calls C++ function: int QObject::startTimer(int interval, Qt::TimerType timerType = …).

C++ documentation:

Starts a timer and returns a timer identifier, or returns zero if it could not start a timer.

A timer event will occur every interval milliseconds until killTimer() is called. If interval is 0, then the timer event occurs once every time there are no more window system events to process.

The virtual timerEvent() function is called with the QTimerEvent event parameter class when a timer event occurs. Reimplement this function to get timer events.

If multiple timers are running, the QTimerEvent::timerId() can be used to find out which timer was activated.

Example:

class MyObject : public QObject
{
      Q_OBJECT
public:
      MyObject(QObject *parent = 0);
protected:
      void timerEvent(QTimerEvent *event);
};
MyObject::MyObject(QObject *parent)
      : QObject(parent)
{
      startTimer(50);     // 50-millisecond timer
      startTimer(1000);   // 1-second timer
      startTimer(60000);  // 1-minute timer
      using namespace std::chrono;
      startTimer(milliseconds(50));
      startTimer(seconds(1));
      startTimer(minutes(1));
      // since C++14 we can use std::chrono::duration literals, e.g.:
      startTimer(100ms);
      startTimer(5s);
      startTimer(2min);
      startTimer(1h);
}
void MyObject::timerEvent(QTimerEvent *event)
{
      qDebug() << “Timer ID:” << event->timerId();
}

Note that QTimer's accuracy depends on the underlying operating system and hardware. The timerType argument allows you to customize the accuracy of the timer. See Qt::TimerType for information on the different timer types. Most platforms support an accuracy of 20 milliseconds; some provide more. If Qt is unable to deliver the requested number of timer events, it will silently discard some.

The QTimer class provides a high-level programming interface with single-shot timers and timer signals instead of events. There is also a QBasicTimer class that is more lightweight than QTimer and less clumsy than using timer IDs directly.

See also timerEvent(), killTimer(), and QTimer::singleShot().

pub unsafe fn start_timer_1a(&self, interval: i32) -> i32

Starts a timer and returns a timer identifier, or returns zero if it could not start a timer.

      startTimer(60000);  // 1-minute timer
      using namespace std::chrono;
