Detailed Description

The QgsFieldExpressionWidget class reates a widget to choose fields and edit expressions It contains a combo boxto display the fields and expression and a button to open the expression dialog.

The combo box is editable, allowing expressions to be edited inline. The validity of the expression is checked live on key press, invalid expressions are displayed in red. The expression will be added to the model (and the fieldChanged signals emitted) only when editing in the line edit is finished (focus lost, enter key pressed).

Member Function Documentation

◆ allowEvalErrors()

bool QgsFieldExpressionWidget::allowEvalErrors ( ) const

Allow accepting expressions with evaluation errors.

This can be useful when we are not able to provide an expression context of which we are sure it's completely populated.

Since: QGIS 3.0

◆ allowEvalErrorsChanged

void QgsFieldExpressionWidget::allowEvalErrorsChanged ( )

signal

Allow accepting expressions with evaluation errors.

This can be useful when we are not able to provide an expression context of which we are sure it's completely populated.

Since: QGIS 3.0

◆ asExpression()

QString QgsFieldExpressionWidget::asExpression ( ) const

Returns the currently selected field or expression.

If a field is currently selected, the returned value will be converted to a valid expression referencing this field (ie enclosing the field name with appropriate quotations).

Since: QGIS 2.14

Definition at line 108 of file qgsfieldexpressionwidget.cpp.

◆ changeEvent()

void QgsFieldExpressionWidget::changeEvent ( QEvent * event )

◆ currentField()

QString QgsFieldExpressionWidget::currentField	(	bool *	isExpression = `nullptr`,
		bool *	isValid = `nullptr`
	)		const

currentField returns the currently selected field or expression if allowed

Parameters

isExpression	determines if the string returned is the name of a field or an expression
isValid	determines if the expression (or field) returned is valid

Definition at line 129 of file qgsfieldexpressionwidget.cpp.

open the expression dialog to edit the current or add a new expression

Definition at line 209 of file qgsfieldexpressionwidget.cpp.

◆ expression()

QString QgsFieldExpressionWidget::expression ( ) const

Returns the currently selected field or expression.

If a field is currently selected, the returned value will be converted to a valid expression referencing this field (ie enclosing the field name with appropriate quotations).

Alias for asExpression()

Since: QGIS 3.0
