Detailed Description

TheQDesignerFormWindowCursorInterface class allows you to query and modify a form window's widget selection, and in addition modify the properties of all the form's widgets.

QDesignerFormWindowCursorInterface is a convenience class that provides an interface to the associated form window's text cursor; it provides a collection of functions that enables you to query a given form window's selection and change the selection's focus according to defined modes (MoveMode) and movements (MoveOperation). You can also use the interface to query the form's widgets and change their properties.

The interface is not intended to be instantiated directly, but to provide access to the selections and widgets ofQt Designer's current form windows.QDesignerFormWindowInterface always provides an associated cursor interface. The form window for a given widget can be retrieved using the staticQDesignerFormWindowInterface::findFormWindow() functions. For example:

QDesignerFormWindowInterface*formWindow=0;    formWindow=QDesignerFormWindowInterface::findFormWindow(myWidget);    formWindow->cursor()->setProperty(myWidget, myProperty, newValue);

You can retrieve any ofQt Designer's current form windows throughQt Designer'sform window manager.

Once you have a form window's cursor interface, you can check if the form window has a selection at all using thehasSelection() function. You can query the form window for its totalwidgetCount() andselectedWidgetCount(). You can retrieve the currently selected widget (or widgets) using thecurrent() orselectedWidget() functions.

You can retrieve any of the form window's widgets using thewidget() function, and check if a widget is selected using theisWidgetSelected() function. You can use thesetProperty() function to set the selected widget's properties, and thesetWidgetProperty() orresetWidgetProperty() functions to modify the properties of any given widget.

Finally, you can change the selection by changing the text cursor'sposition() using thesetPosition() andmovePosition() functions.
