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
The book Rapid GUI Development with QtRuby (for Qt version 3.x) is available.
作為基於 Smoke 的綁定,意味著他們提供完整使用大多數 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('Hello Qt in the Ruby way!')
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
You can call all Qt public and protected methods, and all friend methods such as bitBlt() etc
虛擬方法
All virtual methods can be overridden, not just event handlers
屬性
'foobar = 5' is a synonym for 'setFooBar(5)'
Use either CamelCase or lowercase with underscore naming
Any underscores in method names are removed, and the following character is capitalised. For example, you can use either of these two forms to call the same method:
create_standard_status_bar_action() createStandardStatusBarAction()
運算子重載
The full range of Qt operator methods is available, for example:
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)
Signals and slots are declared as list of strings like this:
slots 'setColor(QColor)', 'slotLoad(const QString&)'.. signals 'clicked()'..
For slots and signals without arguments you can use Ruby symbols:
slots :slotLoad signals :clicked
Currently C++ type signatures must be used, a future version of QtRuby will allow ruby type signatures instead.
Connect slots and signals like this:
Qt::Object.connect( @colormenu, SIGNAL( "activated(int)" ), self, SLOT( "slotColorMenu(int)" ) )
Or you can connect signal to a block:
quit_button.connect(SIGNAL :clicked) { $qApp.quit }
And emit signals like this:
emit colorChanged( black )
建構子
You can call constructors in the conventional style:
quit = Qt::PushButton.new("Quit", self, "quit")
Or you can pass a block if you prefer:
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
When a ruby instance is garbage collected, the underlying C++ instance will only be deleted if it isn't 'owned' by a parent object. Normally this will 'just work', but there are occasions when you need to delete the C++ ahead of garbage collection, and whether or not it has a parent. Use the dispose(), isDisposed() and disposed? methods like this:
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 supports $KCODE values of 'u', 'e' and 's' or the corresponding '-K' options from the command line. Qt Designer .ui files have UTF-8 strings so if you use any 8 bit UTF-8 characters, you will need to set $KCODE='u' or use the -Ku command line option.
Other capabilities and offerings
Qt Designer
A 'rbuic4' tool is included in qtruby/tools/rbuic to compile .ui files into ruby code. As described above, Qt Designer uses UTF-8. In addition to the options in the original uic C++ utility an '-x' flag has been added. This will generate a top level stub in the code:
$ rbuic mainform.ui -x -o mainform.rb
Will add this to the end of the generated code:
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
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
Use the bin/rbqtapi tool to discover which methods are available in the QtRuby api. This command:
$ rbqtapi Qt::TextEdit
Will list all the methods in the Qt::TextEdit class
$ rbqtapi -rsetCaption
Lists all methods whose names contain the string 'setCaption'
範例程式
The best way to start programming QtRuby is to look at some existing code and start messing with it.. The are various samples under qtrubyexamples and korundum/examples.
KDE 的特定資訊
KDE 程式不是用 require 'Qt4'
,而是用 require 'korundum4'
The KDE K* classes such as KApplication are renamed as KDE::Application. The other KDE classes are in the KParts::, KIO:: or DOM:: namespaces, with the same names as their C++ counterparts.
Use the 'rbkdeapi' script to introspect the Korundum api from the command line. For example:
$ rbkdeapi KDE::Action
Will list all the methods in the KDE::Action class. 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.
