See <a href="qwidget.html#setMouseTracking">TQWidget::setMouseTracking</a>().) +<p> This handler repositions the cannon's barrel according to the position of +the mouse cursor. +<p> First, if the barrel is not pressed, we return. Next, we fetch the +mouse cursor's position. If the mouse cursor is to the left or below +the widget, we adjust the point to be inside the widget. +<p> Then we calculate the angle between the bottom edge of the widget and +the imaginary line between the bottom-left corner of the widget and +the cursor position. Finally we set the cannon's angle to the new +value converted to degrees. +<p> Remember that setAngle() redraws the cannon. +<p> <pre> <a name="x2432"></a>void CannonField::<a href="qwidget.html#mouseReleaseEvent">mouseReleaseEvent</a>( <a href="qmouseevent.html">TQMouseEvent</a> *e ) + { + <a name="x2417"></a> if ( e-><a href="qmouseevent.html#button">button</a>() == LeftButton ) + barrelPressed = FALSE; + } +</pre> +<p> This TQt event handler is called whenever the user releases a mouse +button and it was pressed inside this widget. +<p> If the left button is released, we can be sure that the barrel is no +longer pressed. +<p> The paint event has two extra lines: +<p> <pre> <a name="x2427"></a> if ( updateR.<a href="qrect.html#intersects">intersects</a>( barrierRect() ) ) + paintBarrier( &p ); +</pre> +<p> paintBarrier() does the same sort of thing as paintShot(), +paintTarget(), and paintCannon(). +<p> <pre> void CannonField::paintBarrier( <a href="qpainter.html">TQPainter</a> *p ) + { + p-><a href="qpainter.html#setBrush">setBrush</a>( yellow ); + p-><a href="qpainter.html#setPen">setPen</a>( black ); + p-><a href="qpainter.html#drawRect">drawRect</a>( barrierRect() ); + } +</pre> +<p> This private function paints the barrier as a rectangle filled with +yellow and with a black outline. +<p> <pre> TQRect CannonField::barrierRect() const + { + return TQRect( 145, height() - 100, 15, 100 ); + } +</pre> +<p> This private function returns the rectangle of the barrier.

It can perform the same +transformations as the <a href="qpainter.html">TQPainter</a>. +<p> Here we perform the same transformation steps as we do when drawing +the barrel in the paintCannon() function. First we translate the +coordinate system and then we rotate it. +<p> Now we need to check whether the point <tt>p</tt> (in widget coordinates) lies +inside the barrel. To do this, we invert the <a href="qwmatrix.html#TransformationMode">transformation matrix</a>. +The inverted matrix performs the inverse transformation that we used +when drawing the barrel.

Because nothing else is in the +box, the effect is that the <a href="qvbox.html">TQVBox</a> will put a frame around the +CannonField. +<p> <pre> <a href="qaccel.html">TQAccel</a> *accel = new <a href="qaccel.html">TQAccel</a>( this ); + <a name="x2438"></a><a name="x2437"></a> accel-><a href="qaccel.html#connectItem">connectItem</a>( accel-><a href="qaccel.html#insertItem">insertItem</a>( Key_Enter ), + this, SLOT(fire()) ); + accel-><a href="qaccel.html#connectItem">connectItem</a>( accel-><a href="qaccel.html#insertItem">insertItem</a>( Key_Return ), + this, SLOT(fire()) ); +</pre> +<p> Here we create and set up an accelerator. An accelerator is an object +that intercepts keyboard events to an application and calls slots if +certain keys are pressed. This mechanism is also called shortcut +keys. Note that an accelerator is a child of a widget and will be +destroyed when that widget is destroyed. <a href="qaccel.html">TQAccel</a> is <em>not</em> a widget +and has no visible effect on its parent. +<p> We define two shortcut keys. We want the slot fire() to be called +when the user presses Enter, and we want the application to tquit when +key Ctrl+Q is pressed. Because Enter is sometimes Return and there +are even keyboards with <em>both</em> keys, we make both Enter and Return +invoke fire(). +<p> <pre> accel-><a href="qaccel.html#connectItem">connectItem</a>( accel-><a href="qaccel.html#insertItem">insertItem</a>( CTRL+Key_Q ), + qApp, SLOT(<a href="qapplication.html#tquit">tquit</a>()) ); +</pre> +<p> And then we set up Ctrl+Q to do the same thing as Alt+Q. Some +people are more used to Ctrl+Q (and anyway it shows how do do it). +<p> CTRL, Key_Enter, Key_Return and Key_Q are all constants provided by +TQt. They're actually TQt::Key_Enter, etc., but practically all classes +inherit the <a href="qt.html">TQt</a> namespace class. +<p> <pre> <a href="qgridlayout.html">TQGridLayout</a> *grid = new <a href="qgridlayout.html">TQGridLayout</a>( this, 2, 2, 10 ); + <a name="x2441"></a> grid-><a href="qgridlayout.html#addWidget">addWidget</a>( tquit, 0, 0 ); + grid-><a href="qgridlayout.html#addWidget">addWidget</a>( box, 1, 1 ); + <a name="x2442"></a> grid-><a href="qgridlayout.html#setColStretch">setColStretch</a>( 1, 10 ); +</pre> +<p> We put <tt>box</tt> (the <a href="qvbox.html">TQVBox</a>), not the CannonField, in the lower-right +cell. +<p> <h2> Behavior +</h2> +<a name="2"></a><p> The cannon now shoots when you press Enter.
