How to initialize properties to a custom plugin widget?

**high_flyer** · 28th February 2006, 16:06

Hi,

I made a custom widget pluging, that has some properties of basic types such as 'int' but also some enums.
I would like to give these properties default values, but I don't understand how to do it the xml way.
Here is what I have:
bool m_snapToCursor
int m_markSize
MarkStyle m_markStyle
What would be the xml line to set these with defaluts?

I tried the following:
" <property name=\"m_snapToCursor\" >\n"
" <bool>false</bool>"
" </property>\n"
" <property name=\"m_markSize\" >\n"
" <int>8</int>"
" </property>\n"
" <property name=\"m_markStyle\" >\n"
" <MarkStyle>PKnob::Line</MarkStyle>"
" </property>\n"

But designer just ingnores it, and puts what ever grabage is currently in memory for these properties.
A pointer to the right place in the docs would be also appreciated, since I couldn't find so far anything that speaks about it.
In QDesignerCustomWidgetInterface Class Reference there is only the warning about the supported QVariants...

Thanks in advance.

This is a part of .ui file that uses Qwt widgets:

xml Code:

Switch view

<property name="orientation" >
    <enum>Qt::Horizontal</enum>
</property>
<property name="frameShadow" >
    <enum>QwtDial::Raised</enum>
</property>

<property name="orientation" >
    <enum>Qt::Horizontal</enum>
</property>
<property name="frameShadow" >
    <enum>QwtDial::Raised</enum>
</property>

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode
