<hr><a name="details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
The TQActionGroup class groups actions together.
<p>
<p> In some situations it is useful to group actions together. For
example, if you have a left justify action, a right justify action
and a center action, only one of these actions should be active at
any one time, and one simple way of achieving this is to group the
actions together in an action group.
<p> An action group can also be added to a menu or a toolbar as a
single unit, with all the actions within the action group
appearing as separate menu options and toolbar buttons.
<p> Here's an example from examples/textedit:
<pre> TQActionGroup *grp = new TQActionGroup( this );
<a name="x2112"></a> <a href="tqobject.html#connect">connect</a>( grp, TQ_SIGNAL( <a href="#selected">selected</a>( <a href="tqaction.html">TQAction</a>* ) ), this, TQ_SLOT( textAlign( <a href="tqaction.html">TQAction</a>* ) ) );
</pre>
<p> Here we create a new action group. Since the action group is exclusive
by default, only one of the actions in the group is ever active at any
one time. We then connect the group's <a href="#selected">selected</a>() signal to our
textAlign() slot.
<p> <pre> <a name="x2113"></a> actionAlignLeft = new <a href="tqaction.html">TQAction</a>( TQPixmap::<a href="ntqpixmap.html#fromMimeSource">fromMimeSource</a>( "textleft.xpm" ), tr( "&Left" ), CTRL + Key_L, grp, "textLeft" );
<a name="x2111"></a> actionAlignLeft-><a href="tqaction.html#setToggleAction">setToggleAction</a>( TRUE );
</pre>
<p> We create a left align action, add it to the toolbar and the menu
and make it a toggle action. We create center and right align
actions in exactly the same way.
<p>
The actions in an action group emit their <a href="tqaction.html#activated">activated</a>() (and for
toggle actions, <a href="tqaction.html#toggled">toggled</a>()) signals as usual.
<p> The <a href="#setExclusive">setExclusive</a>() function is used to ensure that only one action
is active at any one time: it should be used with actions which
have their <a href="tqaction.html#toggleAction-prop">toggleAction</a> set to TRUE.
<p> Action group actions appear as individual menu options and toolbar
buttons. For exclusive action groups use <a href="#setUsesDropDown">setUsesDropDown</a>() to
display the actions in a subwidget of any widget the action group
is added to. For example, the actions would appear in a combobox
in a toolbar or as a submenu in a menu.
<p> Actions can be added to an action group using <a href="#add">add</a>(), but normally
they are added by creating the action with the action group as
parent. Actions can have separators dividing them using
<a href="#addSeparator">addSeparator</a>(). Action groups are added to widgets with <a href="#addTo">addTo</a>().
<p>See also <a href="application.html">Main Window and Related Classes</a> and <a href="basic.html">Basic Widgets</a>.
<hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2>
<h3 class=fn><a name="TQActionGroup"></a>TQActionGroup::TQActionGroup ( <a href="tqobject.html">TQObject</a> * parent, const char * name = 0 )
</h3>
Constructs an action group called <em>name</em>, with parent <em>parent</em>.
<p> The action group is exclusive by default. Call <a href="#setExclusive">setExclusive</a>(FALSE) to make
the action group non-exclusive.
<h3 class=fn><a name="TQActionGroup-2"></a>TQActionGroup::TQActionGroup ( <a href="tqobject.html">TQObject</a> * parent, const char * name, bool exclusive )
</h3>
Constructs an action group called <em>name</em>, with parent <em>parent</em>.
<p> If <em>exclusive</em> is TRUE only one toggle action in the group will
ever be active.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#exclusive-prop">exclusive</a>.
<h3 class=fn><a name="~TQActionGroup"></a>TQActionGroup::~TQActionGroup ()
</h3>
Destroys the object and frees allocated resources.
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="add"></a>TQActionGroup::add ( <a href="tqaction.html">TQAction</a> * action )
</h3>
Adds action <em>action</em> to this group.
<p> Normally an action is added to a group by creating it with the
group as parent, so this function is not usually used.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#addTo">addTo</a>().
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="addSeparator"></a>TQActionGroup::addSeparator ()
</h3>
Adds a separator to the group.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="addTo"></a>TQActionGroup::addTo ( <a href="tqwidget.html">TQWidget</a> * w )<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Adds this action group to the widget <em>w</em>.
<p> If <a href="#isExclusive">isExclusive</a>() is FALSE or <a href="#usesDropDown">usesDropDown</a>() is FALSE, the actions within
the group are added to the widget individually. For example, if the widget
is a menu, the actions will appear as individual menu options, and
if the widget is a toolbar, the actions will appear as toolbar buttons.
<p> If both isExclusive() and usesDropDown() are TRUE, the actions
are presented either in a combobox (if <em>w</em> is a toolbar) or in a
submenu (if <em>w</em> is a menu).
<p> All actions should be added to the action group <em>before</em> the
action group is added to the widget. If actions are added to the
action group <em>after</em> the action group has been added to the
widget these later actions will <em>not</em> appear.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#exclusive-prop">exclusive</a>, <a href="#usesDropDown-prop">usesDropDown</a>, and <a href="tqaction.html#removeFrom">removeFrom</a>().
<p>Example: <a href="themes-example.html#x318">themes/themes.cpp</a>.
<p>Reimplemented from <a href="tqaction.html#addTo">TQAction</a>.
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="insert"></a>TQActionGroup::insert ( <a href="tqaction.html">TQAction</a> * a )
</h3>
<p> <b>This function is obsolete.</b> It is provided to keep old source working. We strongly advise against using it in new code.
<p> Use <a href="#add">add</a>() instead, or better still create the action with the action
group as its parent.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="isExclusive"></a>TQActionGroup::isExclusive () const
</h3><p>Returns TRUE if the action group does exclusive toggling; otherwise returns FALSE.
See the <a href="tqactiongroup.html#exclusive-prop">"exclusive"</a> property for details.
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="selected"></a>TQActionGroup::selected ( <a href="tqaction.html">TQAction</a> * )<tt> [signal]</tt>
</h3>
<p> This signal is emitted from exclusive groups when toggle actions
change state.
<p> The argument is the action whose state changed to "on".
<p> <p>See also <a href="#exclusive-prop">exclusive</a>, <a href="tqaction.html#on-prop">on</a>, and <a href="tqaction.html#toggled">TQAction::toggled</a>().
<p>Examples: <a href="canvas-chart-example.html#x2873">chart/chartform.cpp</a> and <a href="tqactiongroup.html#x2112">textedit/textedit.cpp</a>.
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setExclusive"></a>TQActionGroup::setExclusive ( bool )
</h3><p>Sets whether the action group does exclusive toggling.
See the <a href="tqactiongroup.html#exclusive-prop">"exclusive"</a> property for details.
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setUsesDropDown"></a>TQActionGroup::setUsesDropDown ( bool enable )
</h3><p>Sets whether the group's actions are displayed in a subwidget of the widgets the action group is added to to <em>enable</em>.
See the <a href="tqactiongroup.html#usesDropDown-prop">"usesDropDown"</a> property for details.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="usesDropDown"></a>TQActionGroup::usesDropDown () const
</h3><p>Returns TRUE if the group's actions are displayed in a subwidget of the widgets the action group is added to; otherwise returns FALSE.
See the <a href="tqactiongroup.html#usesDropDown-prop">"usesDropDown"</a> property for details.
<hr><h2>Property Documentation</h2>
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="exclusive-prop"></a>exclusive</h3>
<p>This property holds whether the action group does exclusive toggling.
<p>If exclusive is TRUE only one toggle action in the action group
can ever be active at any one time. If the user chooses another
toggle action in the group the one they chose becomes active and
the one that was active becomes inactive.
<p> <p>See also <a href="tqaction.html#toggleAction-prop">TQAction::toggleAction</a>.
<p>Set this property's value with <a href="#setExclusive">setExclusive</a>() and get this property's value with <a href="#isExclusive">isExclusive</a>().
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="usesDropDown-prop"></a>usesDropDown</h3>
<p>This property holds whether the group's actions are displayed in a subwidget of the widgets the action group is added to.
<p>Exclusive action groups added to a toolbar display their actions
in a combobox with the action's <a href="tqaction.html#text-prop">TQAction::text</a> and <a href="tqaction.html#iconSet-prop">TQAction::iconSet</a> properties shown. Non-exclusive groups are
represented by a tool button showing their <a href="tqaction.html#iconSet-prop">TQAction::iconSet</a> and
-- depending on <a href="tqmainwindow.html#usesTextLabel">TQMainWindow::usesTextLabel</a>() -- <a href="tqaction.html#text">text</a>()
property.
<p> In a popup menu the member actions are displayed in a submenu.
<p> Changing usesDropDown only affects <em>subsequent</em> calls to <a href="#addTo">addTo</a>().
<p> Note that setting this property for actions in a combobox causes
calls to their <a href="tqaction.html#setVisible">TQAction::setVisible</a>(),
<a href="tqaction.html#setEnabled">TQAction::setEnabled</a>(), and
<a href="tqaction.html#setDisabled">TQAction::setDisabled</a>() functions to have no effect.
<p> This property's default is FALSE.
<p>
<p>Set this property's value with <a href="#setUsesDropDown">setUsesDropDown</a>() and get this property's value with <a href="#usesDropDown">usesDropDown</a>().
