Detailed Description

The QDialogButtonBox class is a widget which displayss buttons in a layout appropriate to the current widget style.

Dialogs and message boxes typically present buttons in a layout that conforms to the interface guidelines for that platform. Invariably, different platforms have different layouts for their dialogs. QDialogButtonBox allows a developer to add buttons to it and will automatically use the appropriate layout for the user's desktop environment.

Most buttons for a dialog follow certain roles. Such roles include:

Accepting or rejecting the dialog
Asking for help
Performing actions on the dialog itself (such as resetting fields or applying changes)

There can also be alternate ways of dismissing the dialog which may cause destructive results.

Most dialogs have buttons that can almost be considered standard (e.g. OK and Cancel buttons). It is sometimes convenient to create these buttons in a standard way.

There are a couple ways of using QDialogButtonBox. One ways is to create the buttons (or button texts) yourself and add them to the button box, specifying their role.

findButton = new QPushButton(tr("&Find"));
findButton->setDefault(true);
 
moreButton = new QPushButton(tr("&More"));
moreButton->setCheckable(true);
moreButton->setAutoDefault(false);
 
buttonBox = new QDialogButtonBox(Qt::Vertical);
buttonBox->addButton(findButton, QDialogButtonBox::ActionRole);
buttonBox->addButton(moreButton, QDialogButtonBox::ActionRole);

Alternatively, QDialogButtonBox provides several standard buttons (e.g. OK, Cancel, Save) that you can use. They exist as flags so you can OR them together in the constructor.

buttonBox = new QDialogButtonBox(QDialogButtonBox::Ok | QDialogButtonBox::Cancel);
 
connect(buttonBox, SIGNAL(accepted()), this, SLOT(accept()));
connect(buttonBox, SIGNAL(rejected()), this, SLOT(reject()));

You can mix and match normal buttons and standard buttons.

Currently the buttons are laid out in the following way if the button box is horizontal:

	Button box laid out in horizontal GnomeLayout
	Button box laid out in horizontal KdeLayout
	Button box laid out in horizontal MacLayout
	Button box laid out in horizontal WinLayout

The buttons are laid out the following way if the button box is vertical:

GnomeLayout	KdeLayout	MacLayout	WinLayout

Additionally, button boxes that contain only buttons with ActionRole or HelpRole can be considered modeless and have an alternate look on Mac OS X:

modeless horizontal MacLayout

When a button is clicked in the button box, the clicked() signal is emitted for the actual button is that is pressed. For convenience, if the button has an AcceptRole, RejectRole, or HelpRole, the accepted(), rejected(), or helpRequested() signals are emitted respectively.

If you want a specific button to be default you need to call QPushButton::setDefault() on it yourself. However, if there is no default button set and to preserve which button is the default button across platforms when using the QPushButton::autoDefault property, the first push button with the accept role is made the default button when the QDialogButtonBox is shown,

Member Typedef Documentation

QDialogButtonBox::StandardButtons

Typedef for QFlags<StandardButton>. Refer to QDialogButtonBox::StandardButton for documentation.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum QDialogButtonBox::ButtonLayout

This enum describes the layout policy to be used when arranging the buttons contained in the button box. The button layout is specified by the current style. However, on the X11 platform, it may be influenced by the desktop environment.

Constant	Value	Description
`QDialogButtonBox::WinLayout`	`0`	Use a policy appropriate for applications on Windows.
`QDialogButtonBox::MacLayout`	`1`	Use a policy appropriate for applications on Mac OS X.
`QDialogButtonBox::KdeLayout`	`2`	Use a policy appropriate for applications on KDE.
`QDialogButtonBox::GnomeLayout`	`3`	Use a policy appropriate for applications on GNOME.

enum QDialogButtonBox::ButtonRole

This enum describes the roles that can be used to describe buttons in the button box. Combinations of these roles are as flags used to describe different aspects of their behavior.

Constant	Value	Description
`QDialogButtonBox::InvalidRole`	`-1`	The button is invalid.
`QDialogButtonBox::AcceptRole`	`0`	Clicking the button causes the dialog to be accepted (e.g. OK).
`QDialogButtonBox::RejectRole`	`1`	Clicking the button causes the dialog to be rejected (e.g. Cancel).
`QDialogButtonBox::DestructiveRole`	`2`	Clicking the button causes a destructive change (e.g. for Discarding Changes) and closes the dialog.
`QDialogButtonBox::ActionRole`	`3`	Clicking the button causes changes to the elements within the dialog.
`QDialogButtonBox::HelpRole`	`4`	The button can be clicked to request help.
`QDialogButtonBox::YesRole`	`5`	The button is a "Yes"-like button.
`QDialogButtonBox::NoRole`	`6`	The button is a "No"-like button.
`QDialogButtonBox::ApplyRole`	`8`	The button applies current changes.
`QDialogButtonBox::ResetRole`	`7`	The button resets the dialog's fields to default values.

See also: StandardButton

enum QDialogButtonBox::StandardButton

These enums describe flags for standard buttons. Each button has a defined ButtonRole.

`QDialogButtonBox::Open`	`0x00002000`	"Open" button defined with the AcceptRole.
`QDialogButtonBox::Save`	`0x00000800`	"Save" button defined with the AcceptRole.
`QDialogButtonBox::Cancel`	`0x00400000`	"Cancel" button defined with the RejectRole.
`QDialogButtonBox::Close`	`0x00200000`	"Close" button defined with the RejectRole.
`QDialogButtonBox::Discard`	`0x00800000`	"Discard" or "Do not Save" button, depending on the platform, defined with the DestructiveRole.
`QDialogButtonBox::Apply`	`0x02000000`	"Apply" button defined with the ApplyRole.
`QDialogButtonBox::Reset`	`0x04000000`	"Reset" button defined with the ResetRole.
`QDialogButtonBox::RestoreDefaults`	`0x08000000`	"Restore Defaults" button defined with the ResetRole.
`QDialogButtonBox::Help`	`0x01000000`	"Help" button defined with the HelpRole.
