Detailed Description

A bar for displaying non-blocking messages to the user.

QgsMessageBar is a reusable widget which allows for providing feedback to users in a non-intrusive way. Messages are shown in a horizontal bar widget, which is styled automatically to reflect the severity ("message level") of the displayed message (e.g. warning messages are styled in an orange color scheme, critical errors are shown in red, etc).

The message bar supports automatic stacking of multiple messages, so that only the most recent message is shown to users. Users can then manually dismiss individual messages to remove them from the stack, causing the next-most-recent message to be shown. If no messages are available to show then the message bar automatically hides.

The class also supports pushing custom widgets to the notification stack via the pushWidget() method.

		QWidget *	parent = `nullptr`
	)

static

Creates message bar item widget containing a custom widget to be displayed on the bar.

The caller takes ownership of the returned item.

Note: This is a low-level API call. Users are recommended to use the high-level pushWidget() API call instead.

overrideprotected

Definition at line 111 of file qgsmessagebar.cpp.

◆ popWidget [1/2]

bool QgsMessageBar::popWidget ( )

slot

Remove the currently displayed item from the bar and display the next item in the stack.

If no remaining items are present, the bar will be hidden.

Returns: true if the widget was removed, false otherwise

Definition at line 170 of file qgsmessagebar.cpp.

◆ popWidget() [2/2]

bool QgsMessageBar::popWidget ( QgsMessageBarItem * item )

Remove the specified item from the bar, and display the next most recent one in the stack.

If no messages remain in the stack, then the bar will be hidden.

Parameters

item	previously added item to remove.

◆ pushCritical

void QgsMessageBar::pushCritical	(	const QString &	title,
		const QString &	message
	)

slot

Pushes a critical warning message that must be manually dismissed by the user.

Before QGIS 3.18 the default timeout was used.

Parameters

title	title string for message
message	The message to be displayed

Since: QGIS 2.8

Definition at line 210 of file qgsmessagebar.cpp.

◆ pushInfo

void QgsMessageBar::pushInfo	(	const QString &	title,
		const QString &	message
	)

slot

Pushes a information message with default timeout to the message bar.

Parameters

title	title string for message
message	The message to be displayed

Since: QGIS 2.8

Definition at line 200 of file qgsmessagebar.cpp.

◆ pushItem()

void QgsMessageBar::pushItem ( QgsMessageBarItem * item )

Display a message item on the bar, after hiding the currently visible one and putting it in a stack.

The message bar will take ownership of item.

Definition at line 295 of file qgsmessagebar.cpp.

◆ pushMessage() [1/3]

void QgsMessageBar::pushMessage	(	const QString &	text,
		Qgis::MessageLevel	level = `Qgis::MessageLevel::Info`,
		int	duration = `-1`
	)

A convenience method for pushing a message with the specified text to the bar.

The level argument specifies the desired message level (severity) of the message, which controls how the message bar is styled.

The optional duration argument can be used to specify the message timeout in seconds. If duration is set to 0, then the message must be manually dismissed by the user. Since QGIS 3.18, a duration of -1 indicates that the default timeout for the message level should be used.

Definition at line 405 of file qgsmessagebar.cpp.

◆ pushMessage() [2/3]

		int	duration = `-1`
	)

A convenience method for pushing a message with the specified title and text to the bar.

Additional message content specified via showMore will be shown when the user presses a "more" button.

The level argument specifies the desired message level (severity) of the message, which controls how the message bar is styled.

The optional duration argument can be used to specify the message timeout in seconds. If duration is set to 0, then the message must be manually dismissed by the user. Since QGIS 3.18, a duration of -1 indicates that the default timeout for the message level should be used.
