非常完整的綁定包括 KDE API 和 Qt API。Korundum 套件包括 QtRuby,以及完整結合 Qt/KDE。QtRuby 套件僅包含 Qt 綁定並不相依 KDE。

Korundum/QtRuby - Ruby-KDE/Qt 綁定

Rapid GUI Development with QtRuby(用於 Qt 3.x)已經出版。

作為基於 Smoke 的綁定,意味著他們提供完整存取大多數 KDE 4.x 和 Qt 4.x 的類別。

QtRuby

Hello world 範例:

#!/usr/bin/ruby -w
require 'Qt4'
a = Qt::Application.new(ARGV)
hello = Qt::PushButton.new("Hello World!")
hello.resize(100, 30)
hello.show
a.exec

更'Rubyish'方式的 Hello Qt 範例:

require 'Qt4'

Qt::Application.new(ARGV) do
    Qt::Widget.new do

        self.window_title = 'Hello QtRuby v1.0'
        resize(200, 100)
    
        button = Qt::PushButton.new('Quit') do
            connect(SIGNAL :clicked) { Qt::Application.instance.quit }
        end

        label = Qt::Label.new('<big>Hello Qt in the Ruby way!</big>')
        
        self.layout = Qt::VBoxLayout.new do
            add_widget(label, 0, Qt::AlignCenter)
            add_widget(button, 0, Qt::AlignRight)
        end
        
        show
    end
    
    exec
end

目前 API 範圍概覽

可用呼叫

你可以呼叫 Qt 所有的公用(public)和保護(protected)方法,以及所有 friend 方法,如bitBlt() 等

虛擬(virtual)方法

所有的虛擬方法都可以被覆蓋,不僅僅是事件處理

屬性

「foobar = 5」是「setFooBar(5)」的同義詞

使用 CamelCase 或小寫加底線的名稱都可以

在方法的命名中任何底線被取消,而接續的字元大寫化。例如,您可以使用這兩種形式來呼叫相同的方法:

create_standard_status_bar_action()
createStandardStatusBarAction()

運算子重載

Qt 所有的運算子方法皆可用,例如:

p1 = Qt::Point.new(5,5)   => (5, 5)
p2 = Qt::Point.new(20,20) => (20, 20)
p1 + p2                   => (25, 25)

宣告訊號(Signals)和槽(Slots)

訊號和槽宣告為如下的字串列表:

slots 'setColor(QColor)', 'slotLoad(const QString&)'..
signals 'clicked()'..

對於槽和不帶參數訊號,你可以使用 Ruby 符號:

slots :slotLoad
signals :clicked

Currently C++ type signatures must be used, a future version of QtRuby will allow ruby type signatures instead.

像這樣連接(connect)槽和訊號:

Qt::Object.connect( @colormenu, SIGNAL( "activated(int)" ),
                  self, SLOT( "slotColorMenu(int)" ) )

或者,您可以連接訊號到區塊:

quit_button.connect(SIGNAL :clicked) { $qApp.quit }

和這樣發出(emit)訊號:

emit colorChanged( black )

建構子

你可以用普通風格呼叫建構子:

quit = Qt::PushButton.new("Quit", self, "quit")

或者,您可以傳遞區塊,如果你喜歡的話:

w = MyWidget.new { setCaption("foobar") }

The block will be called in the context of the newly created instance.

Ordinary arguments can be provided as well as a block at the end:

w = MyWidget.new(nil) { setCaption("foobar") }

They are run in the context of the new instance.

And there's more! You can also pass an arg to the block, and it will be run in the context of the arg:

w = MyWidget.new { |theWidget| theWidget.setCaption "foobar" }

垃圾回收

當 ruby 實例垃圾回收時,如果不是被父物件「擁有」,基本的 C++ 實例只會刪除。通常這會「正常運作」,但有時您需要在垃圾回收之前刪除 C++,不管它是否有父親。使用 dispose()、isDisposed() 和 disposed? 方法像是這樣:

item2.dispose
if item2.disposed?
puts "item2 is disposed"
end

C++ 'int*' 和 'int&' 參數型態

Ruby passes numeric values by value, and so they can't be changed when passed to a method. The Qt::Integer class provides a mutable numeric type which does get updated when passed as an argument. For example, this C++ method 'findByFileContent()':

# static Ptr findByFileContent( const QString &fileName, 
#                               int *accuracy=0 );
 
acc = Qt::Integer.new(0)
fc = KDE::MimeType.findByFileContent("mimetype.rb", acc)

It supports the arithmetic operators, and so expressions such as 'acc + 3' will work.

C++ 'bool*' 和 'bool&' 參數型態

There is a similar problem for bool arg types, and the mutable Qt::Boolean class can be used like this:

# QFont getFont(bool * ok, const QFont&initial, 
#               QWidget* parent = 0, const char *name = 0);		
 		
ok = Qt::Boolean.new
font = Qt::FontDialog.getFont(ok, 
                    Qt::Font.new("Helvetica [Cronyx]", 10), 
                    self)
if !ok.nil? 
# font is set to the font the user selected
else 
# the user canceled the dialog
end

Use 'nil?' to test the value returned in the Boolean

C++ (const )(unsigned )char* 參數型態

In some cases Qt/KDE object "takes ownership" over Ruby String passed as char* argument type. Programmer needs to make sure that Ruby String is not being garbage collected or changed for the time it's being used by Qt/KDE object. It is also quite possible that Qt/KDE object will change and eventually free it(memory used internally by Ruby String to store its data). Be very careful when you call this kind of methods and make sure that there is no overloaded version witch accepts QString or QByteArray first!

C++ unsigned char* 函式

Very few functions (as QImage::bits()) return a uchar* to directly manipulate data. These functions are not supported in Ruby and will throw an ArgumentError. More information on the mail list.

除錯

If a method call can't be matched in the Smoke library giving a 'method_missing' error, first check that you are passing correct class instance that is properly initialized (with super method called in constructors of custom Qt classes descendants). You can also turn on debugging to trace the matching process:

a = Qt::Application.new(ARGV)
Qt.debug_level = Qt::DebugLevel::High
a.loadLibrary("foo")  # Non existent method

Will give the following output:

      classname    == QApplication
      :: method == loadLibrary$
      -> methodIds == []
      candidate list:
      Possible prototypes:
          static QWidget* QApplication::widgetAt(int, int, bool)
			...

Here, the list of candidate methods 'methodIds' is empty

Another debugging mechanism allows various trace 'channels' to be switched on.

You can trace virtual method callbacks:

Qt::Internal::setDebug(Qt::QtDebugChannel::QTDB_VIRTUAL)

Or trace QtRuby garbage collection:

Qt::Internal::setDebug(Qt::QtDebugChannel::QTDB_GC)

字串 i18n

QtRuby 支援'u'、'e' 和 's' 的 $KCODE 值或命令列的對應 '-K'選項。Qt Designer .ui 檔有 UTF-8 字串,因此,如果您要使用任何8位元的 UTF - 8 字元,您將需要設定 $KCODE='u' 或使用 -Ku命令列選項。

其他功能和產品

Qt Designer

「rbuic4」工具包含在qtruby/tools/rbuic,用於編譯 .ui 檔加入到 Ruby 程式碼中。如上所述,Qt Designer 使用UTF-8。除了原始的 uic C++ 實用工具的選項還要加上 '-x' 標簽。This will generate a top level stub in the code:

$ rbuic mainform.ui -x -o mainform.rb

這將在生成程式碼的最後加上這個:

if $0 == __FILE__
    a = Qt::Application.new(ARGV)
    w = MainForm.new
    w.show
    a.exec
end

Then you can test the example code straight away:

      $ ruby mainform.rb

Use the '-kde' option to require the 'korundum4' extension rather than the 'Qt4' one. If the '-x' option is used in conjunction, it generates a KDE top level. For example:

$ rbuic4 -x -kde knotifywidgetbase.ui -o knotifywidgetbase.rb

Will generate this top level code:

if $0 == __FILE__
    about = KDE::AboutData.new("knotifywidgetbase", 
 		                       "KNotifyWidgetBase", "0.1")
    KDE::CmdLineArgs.init(ARGV, about)
    a = KDE::Application.new()
    w = KNotifyWidgetBase.new
    w.show
    a.exec
end

Loading .ui files at runtime with Qt::UILoader

Warning
This section needs improvements: Please help us to

cleanup confusing sections and fix sections which contain a todo


Remove example that does not work

You can load a Qt Designer .ui file at runtime with the 'quiloader' extension, for example:

      require 'Qt4'
      require 'quiloader'

      a = Qt::Application.new(ARGV)
      if ARGV.length == 0
        exit
      end

      if ARGV.length == 2
        QUI::WidgetFactory.loadImages ARGV[0]
        w = QUI::WidgetFactory.create ARGV[1]
        if w.nil?
          exit
        end
        w.show()
        a.connect(a, SIGNAL('lastWindowClosed()'), a, SLOT('quit()'))
        a.exec()
      end

With new version API changed a little.

      require 'Qt4'
      require 'qtuitools'

      a = Qt::Application.new(ARGV)
      if ARGV.length == 0
        exit
      end

      if ARGV.length == 1
        file = Qt::File.new(ARGV[1])
        file.open(Qt::File::ReadOnly)

        loader = Qt::UiLoader.new
        window = loader.load(file, nil)
        file.close
        if (window.nil?)
          print "Error. Window is nil.\n"
          exit
        end
        window.show
        a.connect(a, SIGNAL('lastWindowClosed()'), a, SLOT('quit()'))
        a.exec
      end

API 參考

使用 bin/rbqtapi 工具,以了解 QtRuby api 提供哪些方法。指令:

$ rbqtapi Qt::TextEdit

將列出 Qt::TextEdit 類別中所有的方法

$ rbqtapi -rsetCaption

列出所有名稱包含字串'setCaption'的方法

範例程式

入門 QtRuby 程式設計的最佳方式是看一些現有的程式碼,並開始弄亂它。在 qtrubyexamples 和 korundum/examples 中有各式各樣例子。

KDE 的特定資訊

KDE 程式不是用

require 'Qt4'

,而是用

require 'korundum4'

KDE 的 K* 類別,例如 KApplication 被重命名為 KDE::Application。其他的 KDE 類別在KParts::、KIO:: 或 DOM:: 名稱空間(namespaces)中,使用相同的名稱在它們的 C++ 對應。

在命令列使用「rbkdeapi」腳本來查閱 Korundum api。例如:

$ rbkdeapi KDE::Action

將列出在 KDE::Action 類別中所有的方法。There are currently (as at KDE 3.3 beta 2) 977 classes/30841 methods in the Smoke library runtime, so the coverage of the Qt/KDE api is pretty complete.

建構依賴

  • ruby 1.8 或更高版本 (svn trunk works with 1.9.1)
  • cmake 2.6 或更高版本
  • Qt 4.0 或更高版本
  • KDE 4.1 或更高版本(korundum 需要)
