Detailed Description

The QSplitter class implements a splitter widget.

A splitter lets the user control the size of child widgets by dragging the boundary between the children. Any number of widgets may be controlled by a single splitter. The typical use of a QSplitter is to create several widgets and add them using insertWidget() or addWidget().

The following example will show a QListView, QTreeView, and QTextEdit side by side, with two splitter handles:

QSplitter *splitter = new QSplitter(parent);
QListView *listview = new QListView;
QTreeView *treeview = new QTreeView;
QTextEdit *textedit = new QTextEdit;
splitter->addWidget(listview);
splitter->addWidget(treeview);
splitter->addWidget(textedit);

If a widget is already inside a QSplitter when insertWidget() or addWidget() is called, it will move to the new position. This can be used to reorder widgets in the splitter later. You can use indexOf(), widget(), and count() to get access to the widgets inside the splitter.

A default QSplitter lays out its children horizontally (side by side); you can use setOrientation(Qt::Vertical) to lay its children out vertically.

By default, all widgets can be as large or as small as the user wishes, between the minimumSizeHint() (or minimumSize()) and maximumSize() of the widgets.

QSplitter resizes its children dynamically by default. If you would rather have QSplitter resize the children only at the end of a resize operation, call setOpaqueResize(false).

The initial distribution of size between the widgets is determined by multiplying the initial size with the stretch factor. You can also use setSizes() to set the sizes of all the widgets. The function sizes() returns the sizes set by the user. Alternatively, you can save and restore the sizes of the widgets from a QByteArray using saveState() and restoreState() respectively.

When you hide() a child its space will be distributed among the other children. It will be reinstated when you show() it again.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QSplitter::QSplitter ( QWidget parent = nullptr)
explicit

Constructs a horizontal splitter with the parent argument passed on to the QFrame constructor.

See also
setOrientation()
QSplitter::QSplitter ( Qt::Orientation  orientation,
QWidget parent = nullptr 
)
explicit

Constructs a splitter with the given orientation and parent.

See also
setOrientation()
QSplitter::~QSplitter ( )

Destroys the splitter. All children are deleted.

Method Documentation

void QSplitter::addWidget ( QWidget widget)

Adds the given widget to the splitter's layout after all the other items. If widget is already in the splitter, it will be moved to the new position.

See also
insertWidget(), widget(), indexOf()
void QSplitter::changeEvent ( QEvent event)
overrideprotectedvirtual

Reimplemented from QFrame::changeEvent()

void QSplitter::childEvent ( QChildEvent event)
overrideprotected

Tells the splitter that the child widget described by event has been inserted or removed.

This method is also used to handle the situation where a widget is created with the splitter as a parent but not explicitly added with insertWidget() or addWidget(). This is for compatibility and not the recommended way of putting widgets into a splitter in new code. Please use insertWidget() or addWidget() in new code.

See also
addWidget(), insertWidget()
bool QSplitter::childrenCollapsible ( ) const

Returns the value of the property.

int QSplitter::closestLegalPosition ( int  pos,
int  index 
)
protected

Returns the closest legal position to pos of the widget with index. For right-to-left languages such as Arabic and Hebrew, the layout of horizontal splitters is reversed. Positions are then measured from the right edge of the widget.

See also
getRange()
int QSplitter::count ( ) const

Returns the number of widgets contained in the splitter's layout.

See also
widget(), handle()
QSplitterHandle * QSplitter::createHandle ( )
protectedvirtual

Returns a new splitter handle as a child widget of this splitter. This function can be reimplemented in subclasses to provide support for custom handles.

See also
handle(), indexOf()
bool QSplitter::event ( QEvent event)
overrideprotected

Reimplemented from QFrame::event()

void QSplitter::getRange ( int  index,
int *  min,
int *  max 
) const

Returns the valid range of the splitter with index in min and max, if min and max are not nullptr.

QSplitterHandle * QSplitter::handle ( int  index) const

Returns a pointer to the handle which appears to the left or above the given index. The handle at index 0 is always hidden.

For right-to-left languages such as Arabic and Hebrew, the layout of horizontal splitters is reversed. The handle will be to the right of the widget at index.

int QSplitter::handleWidth ( ) const

Returns the value of the property.

int QSplitter::indexOf ( QWidget widget) const

Returns the index in the splitter's layout for the specified widget or handle. Handles are numbered starting from 0. The number of handles is always equal to the number of child widgets, but the handle at position 0 is always hidden.

If the widget or handle is not found this method returns -1.

count(), widget()
void QSplitter::insertWidget ( int  index,
QWidget widget 
)

Inserts the widget specified into the splitter's layout at the given index. If widget is already in the splitter, it will be moved to the new position. if index is invalid, then the widget will be inserted at the end.

addWidget(), indexOf(), widget()
bool QSplitter::isCollapsible ( int  index) const

Returns true if the widget at index is collapsible, otherwise returns false.

QSize QSplitter::minimumSizeHint ( ) const
overridevirtual

Reimplemented from QWidget::minimumSizeHint()

void QSplitter::moveSplitter ( int  pos,
int  index 
)
protected

Moves the left or top edge of the splitter handle at index as close as possible to position pos, which is the distance from the left or top edge of the widget.

For right-to-left languages such as Arabic and Hebrew, the layout of horizontal splitters is reversed. The value for pos is then the distance from the right edge of the widget.

bool QSplitter::opaqueResize ( ) const

Returns the value of the property.

Qt::Orientation QSplitter::orientation ( ) const

Returns the value of the property.

void QSplitter::refresh ( )

Updates the splitter's state. Calling this method is not typically required.

void QSplitter::resizeEvent ( QResizeEvent event)
overrideprotectedvirtual

Reimplemented from QWidget::resizeEvent()

bool QSplitter::restoreState ( const QByteArray state)

Restores the splitter's layout to the state specified. Returns true if the state is restored, otherwise returns false. Typically this is used in conjunction with QSettings to restore the size from a past session.

The following example restores the splitter's state. Railure to restore the splitter's layout may result from either invalid or out-of-date data in the supplied byte array.

QSettings settings;
splitter->restoreState(settings.value("splitterSizes").toByteArray());

saveState()
QByteArray QSplitter::saveState ( ) const

Saves the state of the splitter's layout. Typically this is used in conjunction with QSettings to remember the size for a future session. A version number is stored as part of the data.

QSettings settings;
settings.setValue("splitterSizes", splitter->saveState());

restoreState()
void QSplitter::setChildrenCollapsible ( bool  value)

Sets the value of the property to value.

void QSplitter::setCollapsible ( int  index,
bool  collapse 
)

If collapse is true, then the child widget at index is set to collapsible. Otherwise, set the child widget to not collapsible.

By default children are collapsible. This means the user can resize them down to size 0 even if they have a non-zero minimumSize() or minimumSizeHint(). This behavior can be changed on a per-widget basis by calling this method or for all the widgets in the splitter by setting the childrenCollapsible property.

isCollapsible(), childrenCollapsible
void QSplitter::setHandleWidth ( int  width)

Sets the value of the property to width.

void QSplitter::setOpaqueResize ( bool  opaque = true)

Sets the value of the property to opaque.

void QSplitter::setOrientation ( Qt::Orientation  value)

Sets the value of the property to value.

void QSplitter::setRubberBand ( int  pos)
protected

Displays a rubber band at position pos. If pos is negative, the rubber band is removed.

void QSplitter::setSizes ( const QList< int > &  list)

Sets the child widgets respective sizes to the values given in the list. If the splitter is horizontal, the values set the widths of each widget in pixels, from left to right. If the splitter is vertical, the heights of each widget is set, from top to bottom.

Extra values in the list will be ignored. If the list does not contain enough values, the result may be unpredictable but the QSplitter will remain in a valid state.

The overall size of the splitter widget is not affected. Instead, any additional/missing space is distributed among the widgets according to the relative weight of the sizes. If you specify a size of 0, the widget will be invisible. The size policies of the widgets are preserved. That is, a value smaller then the minimal size hint of the respective widget will be replaced by the value of the hint.

sizes()
void QSplitter::setStretchFactor ( int  index,
int  stretch 
)

Updates the size policy of the widget at position index to have a stretch factor of stretch. The stretch is not the effective stretch factor. The effective stretch factor is calculated by taking the initial size of the widget and multiplying it with stretch.

This method is equivalent to the following example.

QWidget *widget = splitter->widget(index);
policy.setHorizontalStretch(stretch);
policy.setVerticalStretch(stretch);

setSizes(), widget()
QSize QSplitter::sizeHint ( ) const
overridevirtual

Reimplemented from QFrame::sizeHint()

QList< int > QSplitter::sizes ( ) const

Returns a list of the sizes of all the widgets in this splitter. If the splitter's orientation is horizontal, the list contains the widgets width in pixels from left to right. If the orientation is vertical the list contains the widgets height in pixels from top to bottom. Invisible widgets have a size of 0.

Passing this list to the setSizes() method on a different QSplitter object will produce a splitter with the same layout as this one.

setSizes()
void QSplitter::splitterMoved ( int  pos,
int  index 
)
signal

This signal is emitted when the splitter handle at a particular index has been moved to position pos. For right-to-left languages such as Arabic and Hebrew, the layout of horizontal splitters is reversed. The value for pos is then the distance from the right edge of the widget.

moveSplitter()
QWidget * QSplitter::widget ( int  index) const

Returns the widget at the given index in the splitter's layout.

setCollapsible()
PropertiesClass Methods
read childrenCollapsible
write setChildrenCollapsible
QSplitter::handleWidth

This property holds the width of the splitter handles. If you set handleWidth to 1, the actual grab area will grow to overlap a few pixels of its respective widgets. By default, this property contains a value that depends on the user's platform and style preferences.

PropertiesClass Methods
read handleWidth
write setHandleWidth
QSplitter::opaqueResize

This property holds whether resizing is opaque. Opaque resizing is on by default.

PropertiesClass Methods
read opaqueResize
write setOpaqueResize
QSplitter::orientation

This property holds the orientation of the splitter. By default the orientation is horizontal (i.e., the widgets are laid out side by side). The possible orientations are Qt::Horizontal and Qt::Vertical.
