Detailed Description

A button for controlling property overrides which may apply to a widget.

QgsPropertyOverrideButton is designed to be used alongside the QGIS properties framework (QgsProperty, QgsPropertyDefinition and QgsPropertyCollection).

It allows users to specify field or expression based overrides which should be applied to a property of an object. Eg, this widget is used for controlling data defined overrides in symbology, labeling and layouts.

Since: QGIS 3.0

Definition at line 138 of file qgspropertyoverridebutton.cpp.

bool QgsPropertyOverrideButton::isActive ( ) const

inline

Returns true if the button has an active property.

Definition at line 123 of file qgspropertyoverridebutton.h.

void QgsPropertyOverrideButton::registerCheckedWidget	(	QWidget *	widget,
		bool	natural = `true`
	)

Register a sibling widget that gets checked when the property is active.

if natural is false, widget gets unchecked when the property is active.

Note: this should be called after calling init() to be correctly initialized.

Definition at line 212 of file qgspropertyoverridebutton.cpp.

void QgsPropertyOverrideButton::registerEnabledWidget	(	QWidget *	widget,
		bool	natural = `true`
	)

Register a sibling widget that gets enabled when the property is active, and disabled when the property is inactive.

if natural is false, widget gets disabled when the property is active, and enabled when the property is inactive.

Note: this should be called after calling init() to be correctly initialized.

Definition at line 223 of file qgspropertyoverridebutton.cpp.

void QgsPropertyOverrideButton::registerExpressionContextGenerator ( QgsExpressionContextGenerator * generator )

Register a sibling widget that gets visible when the property is active, and hidden when the property is inactive.

if natural is false, widget gets hidden when the property is active, and visible when the property is inactive.

Note: this should be called after calling init() to be correctly initialized.

void QgsPropertyOverrideButton::setActive ( bool active )

slot

Set whether the current property override definition is to be used.

Definition at line 840 of file qgspropertyoverridebutton.cpp.

void QgsPropertyOverrideButton::setSymbol ( std::shared_ptr< QgsSymbol > symbol )

inline

Sets a symbol which can be used for previews inside the widget or in any dialog created by the widget.

If not specified, a default created symbol will be used instead.

Note: not available in Python bindings

Definition at line 214 of file qgspropertyoverridebutton.h.

void QgsPropertyOverrideButton::setToProperty ( const QgsProperty & property )

Sets the widget to reflect the current state of a QgsProperty.

Definition at line 274 of file qgspropertyoverridebutton.cpp.

void QgsPropertyOverrideButton::setUsageInfo ( const QString & info )
