griffon-qt-plugin's Introduction

Enables Qt support

Plugin page: http://artifacts.griffon-framework.org/plugin/qt

Enables Qt as UI toolkit using qt-jambi.

Qt is the de facto standard C++ framework for high performance cross-platform software development. Qt Jambi is the Qt library made available to Java. It is an open source technology aimed at all desktop programmers wanting to write rich GUI clients using the Java language, while at the same time taking advantage of Qt's power and efficiency.

Configuration

This plugin applies some changes to the runtime configuration when the application is run for the first time. It's possible that this configuration is not honored the first time the application is started resulting in a frozen application. If so, then simply quit and restart. The problem will not appear again.

This plugin provides custom WindowManager and GriffonControllerActionManager implementations.

The following actions properties can be configured using the ActionManager's external configuration convention:

Key Default Value
autoRepeat false
checkable false
checked false
icon
iconText
iconVisibleInMenu true
shortcut
statusTip
text
toolTip
visible true
whatsThis

Basic property editors are supplied for the following classes

  • com.trolltech.qt.gui.QColor
  • com.trolltech.qt.gui.QIcon
  • com.trolltech.qt.gui.QImage
  • com.trolltech.qt.gui.QPixmap

Example

The following example demonstrates how a basic webbrowser can be built

BrowserController.groovy

    import griffon.transform.Threading
    import com.trolltech.qt.core.QUrl
    class BrowserController {
        def model
        def view

        void mvcGroupInit(Map<String, Object> args) {
            execInsideUIAsync {
                view.mainWindow.statusBar().show()
                view.urlField.text = 'http://griffon-framework.org'
                openUrl()
            }
        }

        @Threading(Threading.Policy.SKIP)
        def openUrl = {
            String text = view.urlField.text()
            if (text.indexOf('://') < 0) text = 'http://' + text
            view.browser.load(new QUrl(text))
        }
    }

BrowserView.groovy

    updateStatus = { msg -> mainWindow.statusBar().showMessage(msg) }
    application(windowTitle: 'Qt Browser',
        id: 'mainWindow',
        windowIcon: icon('classpath:/griffon-icon-16x16.png'),
        minimumWidth: 800,
        fixedHeight: 600) {

        webView(id: 'browser',
            loadStarted:  { updateStatus("Starting to load: ${urlField.text()}") },
            loadProgress: { updateStatus("Loading: $it %") },
            loadFinished: { updateStatus('Loading done...') },
            urlChanged:   { urlField.text = it })

        noparent {
            action(id: 'backAction',
                iconVisibleInMenu: false,
                icon: icon('classpath:/back.png'),
                iconText: 'Back',
                shortcut: 'Ctrl+[',
                closure: browser.&back)
            action(id: 'forwardAction',
                iconVisibleInMenu: false,
                icon: icon('classpath:/forward.png'),
                iconText: 'Forward',
                shortcut: 'Ctrl+]',
                closure: browser.&forward)
            action(id: 'reloadAction',
                iconVisibleInMenu: false,
                icon: icon('classpath:/reload.png'),
                iconText: 'Reload',
                shortcut: 'Ctrl+R',
                closure: browser.&reload)
            action(id: 'stopAction',
                iconVisibleInMenu: false,
                icon: icon('classpath:/stop.png'),
                iconText: 'Stop',
                shortcut: 'Ctrl+.',
                closure: browser.&stop)
        }

        menuBar {
            menu('History') {
                action(backAction)
                action(forwardAction)
                action(reloadAction)
                action(stopAction)
            }
        }

        toolBar(floatable: false, movable: false) {
            action(backAction)
            action(forwardAction)
            action(reloadAction)
            action(stopAction)
            lineEdit(id: 'urlField', returnPressed: controller.openUrl)
        }
    }

Notice at the end of the View script there's a lineEdit component on which a signal is connected directly to a particular Controller action. The plugin is smart enough to figure out that Groovy closures can be registered as signal handlers.
