Detailed Description

The QTextTableCell class represents the properties of a cell in a QTextTable.

Table cells are pieces of document structure that belong to a table. The table orders cells into particular rows and columns; cells can also span multiple columns and rows.

Cells are usually created when a table is inserted into a document with QTextCursor::insertTable(), but they are also created and destroyed when a table is resized.

Cells contain information about their location in a table; you can obtain the row() and column() numbers of a cell, and its rowSpan() and columnSpan().

The format() of a cell describes the default character format of its contents. The firstCursorPosition() and lastCursorPosition() functions are used to obtain the extent of the cell in the document.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QTextTableCell::QTextTableCell ( )
inline

Constructs an invalid table cell.

See also
isValid()
QTextTableCell::~QTextTableCell ( )
inline

Destroys the table cell.

QTextTableCell::QTextTableCell ( const QTextTableCell &  other)
inline

Copy constructor. Creates a new QTextTableCell object based on the other cell.

Method Documentation

QTextFrame::iterator QTextTableCell::begin ( ) const

Returns a frame iterator pointing to the beginning of the table's cell.

See also
end()
int QTextTableCell::column ( ) const

Returns the number of the column in the table that contains this cell.

See also
row()
int QTextTableCell::columnSpan ( ) const

Returns the number of columns this cell spans. The default is 1.

See also
rowSpan()
QTextFrame::iterator QTextTableCell::end ( ) const

Returns a frame iterator pointing to the end of the table's cell.

See also
begin()
QTextCursor QTextTableCell::firstCursorPosition ( ) const

Returns the first valid cursor position in this cell.

See also
lastCursorPosition()
QTextCharFormat QTextTableCell::format ( ) const

Returns the cell's character format.

See also
setFormat()
bool QTextTableCell::isValid ( ) const
inline

Returns true if this is a valid table cell, otherwise returns false.

QTextCursor QTextTableCell::lastCursorPosition ( ) const

Returns the last valid cursor position in this cell.

See also
firstCursorPosition()
bool QTextTableCell::operator!= ( const QTextTableCell &  other) const
inline

Returns true if this cell object and the other cell object describe different cells, otherwise returns false.

QTextTableCell & QTextTableCell::operator= ( const QTextTableCell &  other)
inline

Copy assigns from other and returns a reference to this object.

bool QTextTableCell::operator== ( const QTextTableCell &  other) const
inline

Returns true if this cell object and the other cell object describe the same cell, otherwise returns false.

int QTextTableCell::row ( ) const

Returns the number of the row in the table that contains this cell.

See also
column()
int QTextTableCell::rowSpan ( ) const

Returns the number of rows this cell spans. The default is 1.

See also
columnSpan()
void QTextTableCell::setFormat ( const QTextCharFormat format)

Sets the cell's character format to format. This can for example be used to change the background color of the entire cell:

QTextTableCell cell = table->cellAt(2, 3); QTextCharFormat format = cell.format(); format.setBackground(Qt::blue); cell.setFormat(format);

Note that the cell's row or column span can not be changed through this function. You have to use QTextTable::mergeCells and QTextTable::splitCell instead.

See also
format()
int QTextTableCell::tableCellFormatIndex ( ) const

Returns the index of the tableCell's format in the document's internal list of formats.

QTextDocument::allFormats()
