Calling update()
double incrementedValue (double value, int stepCount) const

Constructor. The scale is initialized to [0.0, 100.0], the number of steps is set to 100 with 1 and 10 and single an page step sizes. Step alignment is enabled.

The initial value is invalid.

Parameters

parent Parent widget

Increment a value

Parameters

value Value
stepCount Number of steps

Returns

Incremented value

Increment the slider

The step size depends on the number of totalSteps()

Parameters

stepCount Number of steps

See also

setTotalSteps(), incrementedValue()

Returns

True, when the controls are inverted

See also

setInvertedControls()

In read only mode the slider can't be controlled by mouse or keyboard.

Returns

true if read only

See also

setReadOnly()

Determine what to do when the user presses a mouse button.

Parameters

pos Mouse position

Return values

True,when pos is a valid scroll position

See also

scrolledTo()

Implemented in QwtKnob, QwtDial, and QwtSlider.

Returns

True, when tracking has been enabled

See also

setTracking()

Returns

True, when the value is invalid

Handles key events

QwtAbstractSlider handles the following keys:

• Qt::Key_Left
  Add/Subtract singleSteps() in direction to lowerBound();
• Qt::Key_Right
  Add/Subtract singleSteps() in direction to upperBound();
• Qt::Key_Down
  Subtract singleSteps(), when invertedControls() is false
• Qt::Key_Up
  Add singleSteps(), when invertedControls() is false
• Qt::Key_PageDown
  Subtract pageSteps(), when invertedControls() is false
• Qt::Key_PageUp
  Add pageSteps(), when invertedControls() is false
• Qt::Key_Home
  Set the value to the minimum()
• Qt::Key_End
  Set the value to the maximum()

Parameters

event Key event

See also

isReadOnly()

Reimplemented in QwtCompass.

Mouse Move Event handler

Parameters

event Mouse event

Mouse press event handler

Parameters

event Mouse event

Reimplemented in QwtSlider.

Mouse Release Event handler

Parameters

event Mouse event

Reimplemented in QwtSlider.

Returns

Number of steps

See also

setPageSteps(), totalSteps(), singleSteps()

Update the slider according to modifications of the scale

Reimplemented from QwtAbstractScale.

Reimplemented in QwtDial, and QwtSlider.

Determine the value for a new position of the movable part of the slider.

Parameters

pos Mouse position

Returns

Value for the mouse position

See also

isScrollPosition()

Implemented in QwtKnob, QwtDial, and QwtSlider.

Invert wheel and key events

Usually scrolling the mouse wheel 'up' and using keys like page up will increase the slider's value towards its maximum. When invertedControls() is enabled the value is scrolled towards its minimum.

Inverting the controls might be f.e. useful for a vertical slider with an inverted scale ( decreasing from top to bottom ).

Parameters

on Invert controls, when true

See also

invertedControls(), keyEvent(), wheelEvent()

Set the number of steps for a page increment. The range of the slider is divided into a number of steps from which the value increments according to user inputs depend.

Parameters

stepCount Number of steps

See also

pageSteps(), setTotalSteps(), setSingleSteps()

En/Disable read only mode

In read only mode the slider can't be controlled by mouse or keyboard.

Parameters

on Enables in case of true

See also

isReadOnly()

Warning

The focus policy is set to Qt::StrongFocus or Qt::NoFocus

Set the number of steps for a single increment. The range of the slider is divided into a number of steps from which the value increments according to user inputs depend.

Parameters

stepCount Number of steps

See also

singleSteps(), setTotalSteps(), setPageSteps()

Enable step alignment. When step alignment is enabled values resulting from slider movements are aligned to the step size.

Parameters

on Enable step alignment when true

See also

stepAlignment()

Set the number of steps. The range of the slider is divided into a number of steps from which the value increments according to user inputs depend.

The default setting is 100.

Parameters

stepCount Number of steps

See also

totalSteps(), setSingleSteps(), setPageSteps()

Enables or disables tracking. If tracking is enabled, the slider emits the valueChanged() signal while the movable part of the slider is being dragged. If tracking is disabled, the slider emits the valueChanged() signal only when the user releases the slider.

Tracking is enabled by default.

Parameters

on true (enable) or false (disable) tracking.

See also

isTracking(), sliderMoved()

Set the value to be valid/invalid

Parameters

on When true, the value is invalidated

See also

setValue()

Set the slider to the specified value

Parameters

value New value

See also

setValid(), sliderChange(), valueChanged()

If wrapping is true stepping up from upperBound() value will take you to the minimum() value and vice versa.

Parameters

on En/Disable wrapping

See also

wrapping()

Returns

Number of steps

See also

setSingleSteps(), totalSteps(), pageSteps()

This signal is emitted when the user moves the slider with the mouse.

Parameters

value New value

See also

valueChanged()

This signal is emitted when the user presses the movable part of the slider.

This signal is emitted when the user releases the movable part of the slider.

Returns

True, when step alignment is enabled

See also

setStepAlignment()

Returns

Number of steps

See also

setTotalSteps(), singleSteps(), pageSteps()

Notify a change of value. When tracking is enabled (default setting), this signal will be emitted every time the value changes.

Parameters

value New value

See also

setTracking(), sliderMoved()

Wheel Event handler

In/decreases the value by s number of steps. The direction depends on the invertedControls() property.

When the control or shift modifier is pressed the wheel delta ( divided by 120 ) is mapped to an increment according to pageSteps(). Otherwise it is mapped to singleSteps().

Parameters

event Wheel event

Reimplemented in QwtDial.

Returns

True, when wrapping is set

setWrapping()
