Detailed Description

Every attribute editor widget needs a factory, which inherits this class.

It provides metadata for the widgets such as the name (human readable), it serializes the configuration to an xml structure and loads the configuration from there.

It also has factory methods to create a widget wrapper for the attribute editor itself and another factory method to create a configuration dialog.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QgsEditorWidgetFactory()

QgsEditorWidgetFactory::QgsEditorWidgetFactory ( const QString & name )

Constructor.

Parameters

name	A human readable name for this widget type

Member Function Documentation

◆ configWidget()

virtual QgsEditorConfigWidget * QgsEditorWidgetFactory::configWidget	(	QgsVectorLayer *	vl,
		int	fieldIdx,
		QWidget *	parent
	)		const

pure virtual

Override this in your implementation.

Create a new configuration widget for this widget type.

Parameters

vl	The layer for which the widget will be created
fieldIdx	The field index for which the widget will be created
parent	The parent widget of the created config widget

Returns: A configuration widget

Implemented in QgsBinaryWidgetFactory, QgsCheckboxWidgetFactory, QgsClassificationWidgetWrapperFactory, QgsColorWidgetFactory, QgsDateTimeEditFactory, QgsEnumerationWidgetFactory, QgsExternalResourceWidgetFactory, QgsGeometryWidgetFactory, QgsHiddenWidgetFactory, QgsJsonEditWidgetFactory, QgsKeyValueWidgetFactory, QgsListWidgetFactory, QgsRangeWidgetFactory, QgsRelationReferenceFactory, QgsTextEditWidgetFactory, QgsUniqueValueWidgetFactory, QgsUuidWidgetFactory, QgsValueMapWidgetFactory, and QgsValueRelationWidgetFactory.

◆ create()

virtual QgsEditorWidgetWrapper * QgsEditorWidgetFactory::create	(	QgsVectorLayer *	vl,
		int	fieldIdx,
		QWidget *	editor,
		QWidget *	parent
	)		const

pure virtual

Override this in your implementation.

Create a new editor widget wrapper. Call QgsEditorWidgetRegistry::create() instead of calling this method directly.

Parameters

vl	The vector layer on which this widget will act
fieldIdx	The field index on which this widget will act
editor	An editor widget if already existent. If `nullptr` is provided, a new widget will be created.
parent	The parent for the wrapper class and any created widget.

Returns: A new widget wrapper

Implemented in QgsBinaryWidgetFactory, QgsCheckboxWidgetFactory, QgsClassificationWidgetWrapperFactory, QgsColorWidgetFactory, QgsDateTimeEditFactory, QgsEnumerationWidgetFactory, QgsExternalResourceWidgetFactory, QgsGeometryWidgetFactory, QgsHiddenWidgetFactory, QgsJsonEditWidgetFactory, QgsKeyValueWidgetFactory, QgsListWidgetFactory, QgsRangeWidgetFactory, QgsRelationReferenceFactory, QgsTextEditWidgetFactory, QgsUniqueValueWidgetFactory, QgsUuidWidgetFactory, QgsValueMapWidgetFactory, and QgsValueRelationWidgetFactory.

◆ createSearchWidget()

QgsSearchWidgetWrapper * QgsEditorWidgetFactory::createSearchWidget	(	QgsVectorLayer *	vl,
		int	fieldIdx,
		QWidget *	parent
	)		const

virtual

By default a simple QgsFilterLineEdit is returned as search widget.

Override in own factory to get something different than the default.

Reimplemented in QgsCheckboxWidgetFactory, QgsDateTimeEditFactory, QgsRelationReferenceFactory, QgsTextEditWidgetFactory, QgsValueMapWidgetFactory, and QgsValueRelationWidgetFactory.

Definition at line 35 of file qgseditorwidgetfactory.cpp.

◆ fieldScore()

unsigned int QgsEditorWidgetFactory::fieldScore	(	const QgsVectorLayer *	vl,
		int	fieldIdx
	)		const

virtual

This method allows disabling this editor widget type for a certain field.

By default, it returns 5 for every fields. Reimplement this if you only support certain fields.

Typical return values are:

0: not supported
5: maybe support (for example, Datetime support strings depending on their content)
10: basic support (this is what returns TextEdit for example, since it supports everything in a crude way)
20: specialized support

Parameters

vl
fieldIdx

Returns: 0 if the field is not supported or a bigger number if it can (the widget with the biggest number will be taken by default). The default implementation returns 5..

◆ name()

QString QgsEditorWidgetFactory::name ( ) const

Returns The human readable identifier name of this widget type.

Returns: a name

Definition at line 40 of file qgseditorwidgetfactory.cpp.

◆ supportedWidgetTypes()

virtual QHash< const char *, int > QgsEditorWidgetFactory::supportedWidgetTypes ( )

inlinevirtual

Returns a list of widget types which this editor widget supports.

Each widget type can have a priority value attached, the factory with the highest one will be used.

Returns: A map of widget type names and weight values

Note: not available in Python bindings

Reimplemented in QgsCheckboxWidgetFactory, QgsDateTimeEditFactory, QgsRangeWidgetFactory, QgsRelationReferenceFactory, and QgsValueMapWidgetFactory.

Definition at line 108 of file qgseditorwidgetfactory.h.

◆ supportsField()

bool QgsEditorWidgetFactory::supportsField	(	const QgsVectorLayer *	vl,
		int	fieldIdx
	)		const

inline

Check if this editor widget type supports a certain field.

Parameters

vl	The layer
fieldIdx	The field index

Returns: true if the type is supported for this field

See also: fieldScore()
