Splash screens are often used for +applications that have long start up times (e.g. database or +networking applications that take time to establish connections) to +provide the user with feedback that the application is loading. +<p> The splash screen appears centered on the screen. It may be useful to add +the <a href="ntqt.html#WidgetFlags-enum">WStyle_StaysOnTop</a> if you desire to keep above all the windows in the +GUI. +<p> Some X11 window managers do not support the "stays on top" flag. A +solution is to set up a timer that periodically calls <a href="ntqwidget.html#raise">raise</a>() on +the splash screen to simulate the "stays on top" effect. +<p> The most common usage is to show a splash screen before the main +widget is displayed on the screen. This is illustrated in the +following code snippet. +<p> <pre> + int main( int argc, char **argv ) + { + <a href="ntqapplication.html">TQApplication</a> app( argc, argv ); + <a href="ntqpixmap.html">TQPixmap</a> pixmap( "splash.png" ); + TQSplashScreen *splash = new TQSplashScreen( pixmap ); + splash-><a href="ntqwidget.html#show">show</a>(); + <a href="ntqmainwindow.html">TQMainWindow</a> *mainWin = new <a href="ntqmainwindow.html">TQMainWindow</a>; + ... + app.<a href="ntqapplication.html#setMainWidget">setMainWidget</a>( mainWin ); + mainWin-><a href="ntqwidget.html#show">show</a>(); + splash-><a href="#finish">finish</a>( mainWin ); + delete splash; + return app.<a href="ntqapplication.html#exec">exec</a>(); + } + </pre> + +<p> It is sometimes useful to update the splash screen with messages, +for example, announcing connections established or modules loaded +as the application starts up. TQSplashScreen supports this with the +<a href="#message">message</a>() function. If you wish to do your own drawing you can +get a pointer to the pixmap used in the splash screen with <a href="#pixmap">pixmap</a>(). +Alternatively, you can subclass TQSplashScreen and reimplement +<a href="#drawContents">drawContents</a>(). +<p> The user can hide the splash screen by clicking on it with the +mouse. Since the splash screen is typically displayed before the +event loop has started running, it is necessary to periodically +call <a href="ntqapplication.html#processEvents">TQApplication::processEvents</a>() to receive the mouse clicks. +<p> <pre> + <a href="ntqpixmap.html">TQPixmap</a> pixmap( "splash.png" ); + TQSplashScreen *splash = new TQSplashScreen( pixmap ); + splash-><a href="ntqwidget.html#show">show</a>(); + ... // Loading some items + splash-><a href="#message">message</a>( "Loaded modules" ); + qApp-><a href="ntqapplication.html#processEvents">processEvents</a>(); + ... // Establishing connections + splash-><a href="#message">message</a>( "Established connections" ); + qApp-><a href="ntqapplication.html#processEvents">processEvents</a>(); + </pre> + +<p> <p>See also <a href="misc.html">Miscellaneous Classes</a>. + +<hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2> +<h3 class=fn><a name="TQSplashScreen"></a>TQSplashScreen::TQSplashScreen ( const <a href="ntqpixmap.html">TQPixmap</a> & pixmap = TQPixmap ( ), WFlags f = 0 ) +</h3> +Construct a splash screen that will display the <em>pixmap</em>. +<p> There should be no need to set the widget flags, <em>f</em>, except +perhaps <a href="ntqt.html#WidgetFlags-enum">WDestructiveClose</a> or <a href="ntqt.html#WidgetFlags-enum">WStyle_StaysOnTop</a>. + +<h3 class=fn><a name="~TQSplashScreen"></a>TQSplashScreen::~TQSplashScreen ()<tt> [virtual]</tt> +</h3> +Destructor. + +<h3 class=fn>void <a name="clear"></a>TQSplashScreen::clear ()<tt> [slot]</tt> +</h3> +Removes the message being displayed on the splash screen +<p> <p>See also <a href="#message">message</a>(). + +<h3 class=fn>void <a name="drawContents"></a>TQSplashScreen::drawContents ( <a href="ntqpainter.html">TQPainter</a> * painter )<tt> [virtual protected]</tt> +</h3> +Draw the contents of the splash screen using painter <em>painter</em>. +The default implementation draws the message passed by <a href="#message">message</a>(). +Reimplement this function if you want to do your own drawing on +the splash screen. + +<h3 class=fn>void <a name="finish"></a>TQSplashScreen::finish ( <a href="ntqwidget.html">TQWidget</a> * mainWin ) +</h3> +Makes the splash screen wait until the widget <em>mainWin</em> is displayed +before calling <a href="ntqwidget.html#close">close</a>() on itself. + +<h3 class=fn>void <a name="message"></a>TQSplashScreen::message ( const <a href="ntqstring.html">TQString</a> & message, int alignment = AlignLeft, const <a href="ntqcolor.html">TQColor</a> & color = black )<tt> [slot]</tt> +</h3> +Draws the <em>message</em> text onto the splash screen with color <em>color</em> and aligns the text according to the flags in <em>alignment</em>. +<p> <p>See also <a href="ntqt.html#AlignmentFlags-enum">TQt::AlignmentFlags</a> and <a href="#clear">clear</a>(). + +<h3 class=fn>void <a name="messageChanged"></a>TQSplashScreen::messageChanged ( const <a href="ntqstring.html">TQString</a> & message )<tt> [signal]</tt> +</h3> + +<p> This signal is emitted when the message on the splash screen +changes. <em>message</em> is the new message and is a null-string +when the message has been removed. +<p> <p>See also <a href="#message">message</a>() and <a href="#clear">clear</a>(). + +<h3 class=fn><a href="ntqpixmap.html">TQPixmap</a> * <a name="pixmap"></a>TQSplashScreen::pixmap () const +</h3> +Returns the pixmap that is used in the splash screen.
