Type Documentation

enum Qt::AlignmentFlag
flags Qt::Alignment

This enum type is used to describe alignment. It contains horizontal and vertical flags that can be combined to produce the required effect.

The TextElideMode enum can also be used in many situations to fine-tune the appearance of aligned text.

The horizontal flags are:

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::AlignLeft0x0001Aligns with the left edge.
Qt::AlignRight0x0002Aligns with the right edge.
Qt::AlignHCenter0x0004Centers horizontally in the available space.
Qt::AlignJustify0x0008Justifies the text in the available space.

The vertical flags are:

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::AlignTop0x0020Aligns with the top.
Qt::AlignBottom0x0040Aligns with the bottom.
Qt::AlignVCenter0x0080Centers vertically in the available space.
Qt::AlignBaseline0x0100Aligns with the baseline.

You can use only one of the horizontal flags at a time. There is one two-dimensional flag:

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::AlignCenterAlignVCenter | AlignHCenterCenters in both dimensions.

You can use at most one horizontal and one vertical flag at a time. Qt::AlignCenter counts as both horizontal and vertical.

Three enum values are useful in applications that can be run in right-to-left mode:

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::AlignAbsolute0x0010If the widget's layout direction is Qt::RightToLeft (instead of Qt::LeftToRight, the default), Qt::AlignLeft refers to the right edge and Qt::AlignRight to the left edge. This is normally the desired behavior. If you want Qt::AlignLeft to always mean "left" and Qt::AlignRight to always mean "right", combine the flag with Qt::AlignAbsolute.
Qt::AlignLeadingAlignLeftSynonym for Qt::AlignLeft.
Qt::AlignTrailingAlignRightSynonym for Qt::AlignRight.

Masks:

ConstantValue
Qt::AlignHorizontal_MaskAlignLeft | AlignRight | AlignHCenter | AlignJustify | AlignAbsolute
Qt::AlignVertical_MaskAlignTop | AlignBottom | AlignVCenter | AlignBaseline

Conflicting combinations of flags have undefined meanings.

The Alignment type is a typedef for QFlags<AlignmentFlag>. It stores an OR combination of AlignmentFlag values.

enum Qt::AnchorPoint

Specifies a side of a layout item that can be anchored. This is used by QGraphicsAnchorLayout.

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::AnchorLeft0The left side of a layout item.
Qt::AnchorHorizontalCenter1A "virtual" side that is centered between the left and the right side of a layout item.
Qt::AnchorRight2The right side of a layout item.
Qt::AnchorTop3The top side of a layout item.
Qt::AnchorVerticalCenter4A "virtual" side that is centered between the top and the bottom side of a layout item.
Qt::AnchorBottom5The bottom side of a layout item.

See also QGraphicsAnchorLayout.

enum Qt::ApplicationAttribute

This enum describes attributes that change the behavior of application-wide features. These are enabled and disabled using QCoreApplication::setAttribute(), and can be tested for with QCoreApplication::testAttribute().

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::AA_QtQuickUseDefaultSizePolicy (since Qt 6.7)1Qt Quick Layouts use the built-in size policy of Item. For example, when this is set, Button fills the available width, but has a fixed height. When this is not set, it will use the default sizing behavior of the layout it's in, which is to use its implicit size as the preferred size. This is explained in detail in Specifying preferred size and Size constraints. When this is set, the default size policy of the item with the layout can be overridden by explicitly setting Layout.fillWidth or Layout.fillHeight. Note: This API is considered tech preview and may change or be removed in future versions of Qt.
Qt::AA_DontShowIconsInMenus2Actions with the Icon property won't be shown in any menus unless specifically set by the QAction::iconVisibleInMenu property. Menus that are currently open or menus already created in the native macOS menubar may not pick up a change in this attribute. Changes in the QAction::iconVisibleInMenu property will always be picked up.
Qt::AA_DontShowShortcutsInContextMenus28Actions with the Shortcut property won't be shown in any shortcut menus unless specifically set by the QAction::shortcutVisibleInContextMenu property. This value was added in Qt 5.10, and is by default based on the value reported by QStyleHints::showShortcutsInContextMenus(). To override the default behavior, set the style hint before QCoreApplication has been instantiated, or set this attribute after QCoreApplication has been instantiated.
Qt::AA_NativeWindows3Ensures that widgets have native windows.
Qt::AA_DontCreateNativeWidgetSiblings4Ensures that siblings of native widgets stay non-native unless specifically set by the Qt::WA_NativeWindow attribute.
Qt::AA_PluginApplication5Indicates that Qt is used to author a plugin. Depending on the operating system, it suppresses specific initializations that do not necessarily make sense in the plugin case. For example on macOS, this includes avoiding loading our nib for the main menu and not taking possession of the native menu bar. Setting this attribute to true will also set the AA_DontUseNativeMenuBar attribute to true. It also disables native event filters. This attribute must be set before QGuiApplication constructed. This value was added in Qt 5.7.
Qt::AA_DontUseNativeMenuBar6All menubars created while this attribute is set to true won't be used as a native menubar (e.g, the menubar at the top of the main screen on macOS).
Qt::AA_MacDontSwapCtrlAndMeta7Keyboard shortcuts on Apple platforms are typically based on the Command (or Cmd) keyboard modifier, represented by the ⌘ symbol. For example, the 'Copy' action is Command+C (⌘+C). To ease cross platform development Qt will by default remap Command to the Qt::ControlModifier, to align with other platforms. This allows creating keyboard shortcuts such as "Ctrl+J", which on macOS will then map to Command+J, as expected by macOS users. The actual Control (or Ctrl) modifier on Apple platforms, represented by ⌃, is mapped to Qt::MetaModifier.

When this attribute is true Qt will not do the remapping, and pressing the Command modifier will result in Qt::MetaModifier, while pressing the Control modifier will result in Qt::ControlModifier.

Note that the QKeySequence::StandardKey sequences will always be based on the same modifier (i.e., QKeySequence::Copy will be Command+C regardless of the value set), but what is output for QKeySequence::toString() will be different.

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::AA_Use96Dpi8Assume the screen has a resolution of 96 DPI rather than using the OS-provided resolution. This will cause font rendering to be consistent in pixels-per-point across devices rather than defining 1 point as 1/72 inch.
Qt::AA_SynthesizeTouchForUnhandledMouseEvents11All mouse events that are not accepted by the application will be translated to touch events instead.
Qt::AA_SynthesizeMouseForUnhandledTouchEvents12All touch events that are not accepted by the application will be translated to left button mouse events instead. This attribute is enabled by default.
Qt::AA_ForceRasterWidgets14Make top-level widgets use pure raster surfaces, and do not support non-native GL-based child widgets.
Qt::AA_UseDesktopOpenGL15Forces the usage of desktop OpenGL (for example, opengl32.dll or libGL.so) on platforms that use dynamic loading of the OpenGL implementation. This attribute must be set before QGuiApplication is constructed. This value was added in Qt 5.3.
Qt::AA_UseOpenGLES16Forces the usage of OpenGL ES 2.0 or higher on platforms that use dynamic loading of the OpenGL implementation. This attribute must be set before QGuiApplication is constructed. This value was added in Qt 5.3.
Qt::AA_UseSoftwareOpenGL17Forces the usage of a software based OpenGL implementation on platforms that use dynamic loading of the OpenGL implementation. This will typically be a patched build of Mesa llvmpipe, providing OpenGL 2.1. The value may have no effect if no such OpenGL implementation is available. The default name of this library is opengl32sw.dll and can be overridden by setting the environment variable QT_OPENGL_DLL. See the platform-specific pages, for instance Qt for Windows, for more information. This attribute must be set before QGuiApplication is constructed. This value was added in Qt 5.4.
Qt::AA_ShareOpenGLContexts18Enables resource sharing between the OpenGL contexts used by classes like QOpenGLWidget and QQuickWidget. This allows sharing OpenGL resources, like textures, between QOpenGLWidget instances that belong to different top-level windows. This attribute must be set before QGuiApplication is constructed. This value was added in Qt 5.4.
Qt::AA_SetPalette19Indicates whether a palette was explicitly set on the QGuiApplication. This value was added in Qt 5.5.
Qt::AA_UseStyleSheetPropagationInWidgetStyles22By default, Qt Style Sheets disable regular QWidget palette and font propagation. When this flag is enabled, font and palette changes done from a style sheet will propagate a single time, when the style sheet is set. See The Style Sheet Syntax - Inheritance for more details. This value was added in Qt 5.7.
Qt::AA_DontUseNativeDialogs23All dialogs created while this attribute is set to true won't use the native dialogs provided by the platform. This value was added in Qt 5.7.
Qt::AA_SynthesizeMouseForUnhandledTabletEvents24All tablet events that are not accepted by the application will be translated to mouse events instead. This attribute is enabled by default. This value was added in Qt 5.7.
Qt::AA_CompressHighFrequencyEvents25Enables compression of certain frequent events. On the X11 windowing system, the default value is true, which means that QEvent::MouseMove, QEvent::TouchUpdate, and changes in window size and position will be combined whenever they occur more frequently than the application handles them, so that they don't accumulate and overwhelm the application later. On Windows 8 and above the default value is also true, but it only applies to touch events. Mouse and window events remain unaffected by this flag. On other platforms, the default is false. (In the future, the compression feature may be implemented across platforms.) You can test the attribute to see whether compression is enabled. If your application needs to handle all events with no compression, you can unset this attribute. Notice that input events from tablet devices will not be compressed. See AA_CompressTabletEvents if you want these to be compressed as well. This value was added in Qt 5.7.
Qt::AA_CompressTabletEvents29Enables compression of input events from tablet devices. Notice that AA_CompressHighFrequencyEvents must be true for events compression to be enabled, and that this flag extends the former to tablet events. Currently supported on the X11 windowing system, Windows 8 and above. The default value is false. This value was added in Qt 5.10.
Qt::AA_DontCheckOpenGLContextThreadAffinity26When making a context current using QOpenGLContext, do not check that the QObject thread affinity of the QOpenGLContext object is the same thread calling makeCurrent(). This value was added in Qt 5.8.
Qt::AA_DisableShaderDiskCache27Disables caching of shader program binaries on disk. By default Qt Quick, QPainter's OpenGL backend, and any application using QOpenGLShaderProgram with one of its addCacheableShaderFromSource overloads will employ a disk-based program binary cache in either the shared or per-process cache storage location, on systems that support glProgramBinary(). In the unlikely event of this being problematic, set this attribute to disable all disk-based caching of shaders.
Qt::AA_DisableSessionManager31Disables the QSessionManager. By default Qt will connect to a running session manager for a GUI application on supported platforms, use of a session manager may be redundant for system services. This attribute must be set before QGuiApplication is constructed. This value was added in 5.14
Qt::AA_DisableNativeVirtualKeyboard9When this attribute is set, the native on-screen virtual keyboard will not be shown automatically when a text input widget gains focus on a system without a physical keyboard. Currently supported on the Windows platform only. This value was added in 5.15

enum Qt::ApplicationState
flags Qt::ApplicationStates

This enum type is used to specify the current state of the application.

The states are

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::ApplicationSuspended0x00000000The application is about to suspend. When entering this state, the application should save its state, cease all activities, and be prepared for code execution to stop. While suspended, the application can be killed at any time without further warnings (e.g. when low memory forces the OS to purge suspended applications).
Qt::ApplicationHidden0x00000001The application is hidden and runs in the background. This is the normal state for applications that need to do background processing, like playing music, while the user interacts with other applications. The application should free up all graphical resources when entering this state.
Qt::ApplicationInactive0x00000002The application is visible, but not selected to be in front. On desktop platforms, this typically means that the user activated another application. On mobile platforms, it is more common to enter this state when the OS is interrupting the user with e.g. incoming calls or SMS-messages. While in this state, consider reducing CPU-intensive tasks.
Qt::ApplicationActive0x00000004The application is visible and selected to be in front.

The ApplicationStates type is a typedef for QFlags<ApplicationState>. It stores an OR combination of ApplicationState values.

enum Qt::CaseSensitivity

ConstantValue
Qt::CaseInsensitive0
Qt::CaseSensitive1

enum Qt::CheckState

This enum describes the state of checkable items, controls, and widgets.

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::Unchecked0The item is unchecked.
Qt::PartiallyChecked1The item is partially checked. Items in hierarchical models may be partially checked if some, but not all, of their children are checked.
Qt::Checked2The item is checked.

See also QCheckBox, Qt::ItemFlags, and Qt::ItemDataRole.

enum Qt::ChecksumType

This enum describes the possible standards used by qChecksum().

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::ChecksumIso33090Checksum calculation based on ISO 3309.
Qt::ChecksumItuV411Checksum calculation based on ITU-V.41.

enum Qt::ClipOperation

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::NoClip0This operation turns clipping off.
Qt::ReplaceClip1Replaces the current clip path/rect/region with the one supplied in the function call.
Qt::IntersectClip2Intersects the current clip path/rect/region with the one supplied in the function call.

enum class Qt::ColorScheme

Represents the appearance of an application's theme, defined by QGuiApplication::palette().

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::ColorScheme::Unknown0The appearance is unknown.
Qt::ColorScheme::Light1The background colors are lighter than the text color, i.e. the theme is light.
Qt::ColorScheme::Dark2The background colors are darker than the text color, i.e. the theme is dark.

enum Qt::ConnectionType

This enum describes the types of connection that can be used between signals and slots. In particular, it determines whether a particular signal is delivered to a slot immediately or queued for delivery at a later time.

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::AutoConnection0(Default) If the receiver lives in the thread that emits the signal, Qt::DirectConnection is used. Otherwise, Qt::QueuedConnection is used. The connection type is determined when the signal is emitted.
Qt::DirectConnection1The slot is invoked immediately when the signal is emitted. The slot is executed in the signalling thread.
Qt::QueuedConnection2The slot is invoked when control returns to the event loop of the receiver's thread. The slot is executed in the receiver's thread.
Qt::BlockingQueuedConnection3Same as Qt::QueuedConnection, except that the signalling thread blocks until the slot returns. This connection must not be used if the receiver lives in the signalling thread, or else the application will deadlock.
Qt::UniqueConnection0x80This is a flag that can be combined with any one of the above connection types, using a bitwise OR. When Qt::UniqueConnection is set, QObject::connect() will fail if the connection already exists (i.e. if the same signal is already connected to the same slot for the same pair of objects).
Qt::SingleShotConnection0x100This is a flag that can be combined with any one of the above connection types, using a bitwise OR. When Qt::SingleShotConnection is set, the slot is going to be called only once; the connection will be automatically broken when the signal is emitted. This flag was introduced in Qt 6.0.

With queued connections, the parameters must be of types that are known to Qt's meta-object system, because Qt needs to copy the arguments to store them in an event behind the scenes. If you try to use a queued connection and get the error message:

 QObject::connect: Cannot queue arguments of type 'MyType'

Call qRegisterMetaType() to register the data type before you establish the connection.

When using signals and slots with multiple threads, see Signals and Slots Across Threads.

See also Thread Support in Qt, QObject::connect(), qRegisterMetaType(), and Q_DECLARE_METATYPE().

enum Qt::ContextMenuPolicy

This enum type defines the various policies a widget can have with respect to showing a context menu.

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::NoContextMenu0the widget does not feature a context menu, context menu handling is deferred to the widget's parent.
Qt::PreventContextMenu4the widget does not feature a context menu, and in contrast to NoContextMenu, the handling is not deferred to the widget's parent. This means that all right mouse button events are guaranteed to be delivered to the widget itself through QWidget::mousePressEvent(), and QWidget::mouseReleaseEvent().
Qt::DefaultContextMenu1the widget's QWidget::contextMenuEvent() handler is called.
Qt::ActionsContextMenu2the widget displays its QWidget::actions() as context menu.
Qt::CustomContextMenu3the widget emits the QWidget::customContextMenuRequested() signal.

enum Qt::CoordinateSystem

This enum specifies the coordinate system.

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::DeviceCoordinates0Coordinates are relative to the top-left corner of the object's paint device.
Qt::LogicalCoordinates1Coordinates are relative to the top-left corner of the object.

enum Qt::Corner

This enum type specifies a corner in a rectangle:

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::TopLeftCorner0x00000The top-left corner of the rectangle.
Qt::TopRightCorner0x00001The top-right corner of the rectangle.
Qt::BottomLeftCorner0x00002The bottom-left corner of the rectangle.
Qt::BottomRightCorner0x00003The bottom-right corner of the rectangle.

enum Qt::CursorMoveStyle

This enum describes the movement style available to text cursors. The options are:

enum Qt::DateFormat

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::TextDate0The default Qt format, which includes the day and month name, the day number in the month, and the year in full. The day and month names will be short names in English (C locale). This effectively uses, for a date, format ddd MMM d yyyy, for a time HH:mm:ss and combines these as ddd MMM d HH:mm:ss yyyy for a date-time, with an optional zone-offset suffix, where relevant. When reading from a string, a fractional part is also recognized on the seconds of a time part, as HH:mm:ss.zzz, and some minor variants on the format may be recognized, for compatibility with earlier versions of Qt and with changes to the format planned for the future. In particular, the zone-offset suffix presently uses GMT[±tzoff] with a tzoff in HH[[:]mm] format (two-digit hour and optional two-digit minutes, with optional colon separator); this shall change to use UTC in place of GMT in a future release of Qt, so the planned UTC format is recognized.
Qt::ISODateWithMs9ISO 8601 extended format: uses yyyy-MM-dd for dates, HH:mm:ss.zzz for times or yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.zzz (e.g. 2017-07-24T15:46:29.739) for combined dates and times, optionally with a time-zone suffix (Z for UTC otherwise an offset as ±HH:mm) where appropriate. When parsed, a single space, ' ', may be used in place of the 'T' separator between date and time; no other spacing characters are permitted. This format also accepts HH:mm and plain HH formats for the time part, either of which may include a fractional part, HH:mm.zzz or HH.zzz, applied to the last field present (hour or minute).
Qt::ISODate1ISO 8601 extended format, as for ISODateWithMs, but omitting the milliseconds (.zzz) part when converting to a string. There is no difference when reading from a string: if a fractional part is present on the last time field, either format will accept it.
Qt::RFC2822Date8RFC 2822, RFC 850 and RFC 1036 format: when converting dates to string form, format dd MMM yyyy is used, for times the format is HH:mm:ss. For combined date and time, these are combined as dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss ±tzoff (omitting the optional leading day of the week from the first format recognized). When reading from a string either [ddd,] dd MMM yyyy [HH:mm[:ss]][ ±tzoff] or ddd MMM dd[ HH:mm:ss] yyyy[ ±tzoff] will be recognized for combined dates and times, where tzoff is a timezone offset in HHmm format. Arbitrary spacing may appear before or after the text and any non-empty spacing may replace the spaces in this format. For dates and times separately, the same formats are matched and the unwanted parts are ignored. In particular, note that a time is not recognized without an accompanying date.

Note: For ISODate formats, each y, M and d represents a single digit of the year, month, and day used to specify the date. Each H, m, and s represents a single digit of the hour (up to 24), minute and second used to specify the time. An hour of 24, with zero for all other time fields, is understood as the start of the next day. A .zzz stands for a fractional part suffix on the preceding field, which may be separated from that field either by a comma ',' or the dot '.' shown. Precision beyond milliseconds is accepted but discarded, rounding to the nearest representable millisecond. The presence of a literal T character is used to separate the date and time when both are specified. For the TextDate and RFC2822Date formats, ddd stands for the first three letters of the name of the day of the week and MMM stands for the first three letters of the month name. The names of days and months are always in English (C locale) regardless of user preferences or system settings. The other format characters have the same meaning as for the ISODate format, except that 24 is not accepted as an hour. Parts of a format enclosed in square brackets [...] are optional; the square brackets do not form part of the format. The plus-or-minus character '±' here stands for either sign character, '-' for minus or '+' for plus.

Note: Zone offsets are measured positive to the east of Greenwich, negative to the west, as is usual for UTC-based offset notations (conflicting with some GMT-based zones-names, such as Etc/GMT+3, which use the opposite convention).

enum Qt::EventPriority

This enum can be used to specify event priorities.

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::HighEventPriority1Events with this priority are sent before events with NormalEventPriority or LowEventPriority.
Qt::NormalEventPriority0Events with this priority are sent after events with HighEventPriority, but before events with LowEventPriority.
Qt::LowEventPriority-1Events with this priority are sent after events with HighEventPriority or NormalEventPriority.

Note that these values are provided purely for convenience, since event priorities can be any value between INT_MAX and INT_MIN, inclusive. For example, you can define custom priorities as being relative to each other:

 enum CustomEventPriority
 {
     // An important event
     ImportantEventPriority = Qt::HighEventPriority,

     // A more important event
     MoreImportantEventPriority = ImportantEventPriority + 1,

     // A critical event
     CriticalEventPriority = 100 * MoreImportantEventPriority,

     // Not that important
     StatusEventPriority = Qt::LowEventPriority,

     // These are less important than Status events
     IdleProcessingDoneEventPriority = StatusEventPriority - 1
 };

See also QCoreApplication::postEvent().

enum Qt::FillRule

Specifies which method should be used to fill the paths and polygons.

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::OddEvenFill0Specifies that the region is filled using the odd even fill rule. With this rule, we determine whether a point is inside the shape by using the following method. Draw a horizontal line from the point to a location outside the shape, and count the number of intersections. If the number of intersections is an odd number, the point is inside the shape. This mode is the default.
Qt::WindingFill1Specifies that the region is filled using the non zero winding rule. With this rule, we determine whether a point is inside the shape by using the following method. Draw a horizontal line from the point to a location outside the shape. Determine whether the direction of the line at each intersection point is up or down. The winding number is determined by summing the direction of each intersection. If the number is non zero, the point is inside the shape. This fill mode can also in most cases be considered as the intersection of closed shapes.

enum Qt::ImageConversionFlag
flags Qt::ImageConversionFlags

The options marked "(default)" are set if no other values from the list are included (since the defaults are zero):

Color/Mono preference (ignored for QBitmap):

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::AutoColor0x00000000(default) - If the image has depth 1 and contains only black and white pixels, the pixmap becomes monochrome.
Qt::ColorOnly0x00000003The pixmap is dithered/converted to the native display depth.
Qt::MonoOnly0x00000002The pixmap becomes monochrome. If necessary, it is dithered using the chosen dithering algorithm.

Dithering mode preference:

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::DiffuseDither0x00000000(default) - A high-quality dither using error diffusion.
Qt::OrderedDither0x00000010A faster, ordered dither.
Qt::ThresholdDither0x00000020No dithering; closest color is used.

Dithering mode preference for 1-bit alpha masks:

Qt::OrderedAlphaDither0x00000004A faster, ordered dither.
Qt::DiffuseAlphaDither0x00000008A high-quality dither using error diffusion.

Color matching versus dithering preference:

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::PreferDither0x00000040Always dither images when converting to smaller color-spaces.
Qt::AvoidDither0x00000080Only dither to indexed formats if the source image uses more different colors than the size of the color table of the destination format.
Qt::AutoDither0x00000000(default) - Only dither when down-converting to 1 or 8-bit indexed formats.
Qt::NoOpaqueDetection0x00000100Do not check whether the image contains non-opaque pixels. Use this if you know that the image is semi-transparent and you want to avoid the overhead of checking the pixels in the image until a non-opaque pixel is found, or if you want the pixmap to retain an alpha channel for some other reason. If the image has no alpha channel this flag has no effect.
Qt::NoFormatConversion0x00000200Don't do any format conversions on the image. Can be useful when converting a QImage to a QPixmap for a one-time rendering operation for example. Note that a QPixmap not in the preferred format will be much slower as a paint device.

The ImageConversionFlags type is a typedef for QFlags<ImageConversionFlag>. It stores an OR combination of ImageConversionFlag values.

enum Qt::InputMethodHint
flags Qt::InputMethodHints

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::ImhNone0x0No hints.

Qt::ToolTipRole3The data displayed in the item's tooltip. (QString)
Qt::StatusTipRole4The data displayed in the status bar. (QString)
Qt::WhatsThisRole5The data displayed for the item in "What's This?" mode. (QString)
Qt::SizeHintRole13The size hint for the item that will be supplied to views. (QSize)

Roles describing appearance and meta data (with associated types):

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::FontRole6The font used for items rendered with the default delegate. (QFont)
Qt::TextAlignmentRole7The alignment of the text for items rendered with the default delegate. (Qt::Alignment)
Qt::BackgroundRole8The background brush used for items rendered with the default delegate. (QBrush)
Qt::ForegroundRole9The foreground brush (text color, typically) used for items rendered with the default delegate. (QBrush)
Qt::CheckStateRole10This role is used to obtain the checked state of an item. (Qt::CheckState)
Qt::InitialSortOrderRole14This role is used to obtain the initial sort order of a header view section. (Qt::SortOrder).

Accessibility roles (with associated types):

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::AccessibleTextRole11The text to be used by accessibility extensions and plugins, such as screen readers. (QString)
Qt::AccessibleDescriptionRole12A description of the item for accessibility purposes. (QString)

User roles:

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::UserRole0x0100The first role that can be used for application-specific purposes.

For user roles, it is up to the developer to decide which types to use and ensure that components use the correct types when accessing and setting data.

enum Qt::ItemFlag
flags Qt::ItemFlags

This enum describes the properties of an item:

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::NoItemFlags0It does not have any properties set.
Qt::ItemIsSelectable1It can be selected.
Qt::ItemIsEditable2It can be edited.
Qt::ItemIsDragEnabled4It can be dragged.
Qt::ItemIsDropEnabled8It can be used as a drop target.
Qt::ItemIsUserCheckable16It can be checked or unchecked by the user.
Qt::ItemIsEnabled32The user can interact with the item.
Qt::ItemIsAutoTristate64The item's state depends on the state of its children. This enables automatic management of the state of parent items in QTreeWidget (checked if all children are checked, unchecked if all children are unchecked, or partially checked if only some children are checked).
Qt::ItemNeverHasChildren128The item never has child items. This is used for optimization purposes only.
Qt::ItemIsUserTristate256The user can cycle through three separate states. This value was added in Qt 5.5.

Note that checkable items need to be given both a suitable set of flags and an initial state, indicating whether the item is checked or not. This is handled automatically for model/view components, but needs to be explicitly set for instances of QListWidgetItem, QTableWidgetItem, and QTreeWidgetItem.

Note that it is undefined behavior to reimplement QAbstractItemModel::hasChildren to return true for an index if that index has the Qt::ItemNeverHasChildren flag set.

The ItemFlags type is a typedef for QFlags<ItemFlag>. It stores an OR combination of ItemFlag values.

See also QAbstractItemModel.

enum Qt::ItemSelectionMode

This enum is used in QGraphicsItem, QGraphicsScene and QGraphicsView to specify how items are selected, or how to determine if shapes and items collide.

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::ContainsItemShape0x0The output list contains only items whose shape is fully contained inside the selection area. Items that intersect with the area's outline are not included.
Qt::IntersectsItemShape0x1The output list contains both items whose shape is fully contained inside the selection area, and items that intersect with the area's outline. This is a common mode for rubber band selection.
Qt::ContainsItemBoundingRect0x2The output list contains only items whose bounding rectangle is fully contained inside the selection area. Items that intersect with the area's outline are not included.
Qt::IntersectsItemBoundingRect0x3The output list contains both items whose bounding rectangle is fully contained inside the selection area, and items that intersect with the area's outline. This method is commonly used for determining areas that need redrawing.

See also QGraphicsScene::items(), QGraphicsScene::collidingItems(), QGraphicsView::items(), QGraphicsItem::collidesWithItem(), and QGraphicsItem::collidesWithPath().

enum Qt::ItemSelectionOperation

This enum is used in QGraphicsScene to specify what to do with currently selected items when setting a selection area.

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::ReplaceSelection0The currently selected items are replaced by items in the selection area.

enum Qt::KeyboardModifier
flags Qt::KeyboardModifiers

This enum describes the modifier keys.

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::NoModifier0x00000000No modifier key is pressed.
Qt::ShiftModifier0x02000000A Shift key on the keyboard is pressed.
Qt::ControlModifier0x04000000A Ctrl key on the keyboard is pressed.
Qt::AltModifier0x08000000An Alt key on the keyboard is pressed.
Qt::MetaModifier0x10000000A Meta key on the keyboard is pressed.
Qt::KeypadModifier0x20000000A keypad button is pressed.
Qt::GroupSwitchModifier0x40000000X11 only (unless activated on Windows by a command line argument). A Mode_switch key on the keyboard is pressed.

Note: On macOS, the ControlModifier value corresponds to the Command keys on the keyboard, and the MetaModifier value corresponds to the Control keys. The KeypadModifier value will also be set when an arrow key is pressed as the arrow keys are considered part of the keypad.

Note: On Windows Keyboards, Qt::MetaModifier and Qt::Key_Meta are mapped to the Windows key.

The KeyboardModifiers type is a typedef for QFlags<KeyboardModifier>. It stores an OR combination of KeyboardModifier values.

See also MouseButton and Modifier.

enum Qt::LayoutDirection

Specifies the direction of Qt's layouts and text handling.

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::LeftToRight0Left-to-right layout.
Qt::RightToLeft1Right-to-left layout.
Qt::LayoutDirectionAuto2Automatic layout.

Right-to-left layouts are necessary for certain languages, notably Arabic and Hebrew.

LayoutDirectionAuto serves two purposes. When used in conjunction with widgets and layouts, it will imply to use the layout direction set on the parent widget or QApplication. This has the same effect as QWidget::unsetLayoutDirection().

When LayoutDirectionAuto is used in conjunction with text layouting, it will imply that the text directionality is determined from the content of the string to be layouted.

See also QGuiApplication::setLayoutDirection(), QWidget::setLayoutDirection(), QTextOption::setTextDirection(), and QString::isRightToLeft().

enum Qt::MaskMode

This enum specifies the behavior of the QPixmap::createMaskFromColor() and QImage::createMaskFromColor() functions.

Qt::MatchContains1The search term is contained in the item.
Qt::MatchStartsWith2The search term matches the start of the item.
Qt::MatchEndsWith3The search term matches the end of the item.
Qt::MatchCaseSensitive16The search is case sensitive.
Qt::MatchRegularExpression4Performs string-based matching using a regular expression as the search term. Uses QRegularExpression. When using this flag, a QRegularExpression object can be passed as parameter and will directly be used to perform the search. The case sensitivity flag will be ignored as the QRegularExpression object is expected to be fully configured. This enum value was added in Qt 5.15.
Qt::MatchWildcard5Performs string-based matching using a string with wildcards as the search term.
Qt::MatchWrap32Perform a search that wraps around, so that when the search reaches the last item in the model, it begins again at the first item and continues until all items have been examined.
Qt::MatchRecursive64Searches the entire hierarchy.

Note: Qt::MatchExactly, Qt::MatchContains, Qt::MatchStartsWith, Qt::MatchEndsWith, Qt::MatchRegularExpression, Qt::MatchWildcard, and Qt::MatchFixedString are mutually exclusive. The behavior achieved by setting several of them in a Qt::MatchFlags argument is undefined.

The MatchFlags type is a typedef for QFlags<MatchFlag>. It stores an OR combination of MatchFlag values.

See also QString::compare() and QRegularExpression.

Qt::ExtraButton240x04000000The 27th non-wheel Mouse Button.

Note: Some models of multi-button mice are pre-configured with high-numbered Buttons emulating keyboard sequences, for use in specific games. In order for these Buttons to be seen as actual 'Mouse Buttons', the device must be re-configured (using the vendor's configuration tool).

The MouseButtons type is a typedef for QFlags<MouseButton>. It stores an OR combination of MouseButton values.

See also KeyboardModifier and Modifier.

enum Qt::MouseEventFlag
flags Qt::MouseEventFlags

This enum provides additional information concerning a QMouseEvent.

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::MouseEventCreatedDoubleClick0x01Indicates that Qt has created a MouseButtonDblClick event from this event. The flag is set in the causing MouseButtonPress, and not in the resulting MouseButtonDblClick.

The MouseEventFlags type is a typedef for QFlags<MouseEventFlag>. It stores an OR combination of MouseEventFlag values.

enum Qt::MouseEventSource

This enum describes the source of a mouse event and can be useful to determine if the event is an artificial mouse event originating from another device such as a touchscreen.

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::MouseEventNotSynthesized0The most common value. On platforms where such information is available this value indicates that the event was generated in response to a genuine mouse event in the system.
Qt::MouseEventSynthesizedBySystem1Indicates that the mouse event was synthesized from a touch event by the platform.
Qt::MouseEventSynthesizedByQt2Indicates that the mouse event was synthesized from an unhandled touch event by Qt.
Qt::MouseEventSynthesizedByApplication3Indicates that the mouse event was synthesized by the application. This allows distinguishing application-generated mouse events from the ones that are coming from the system or are synthesized by Qt. This value was introduced in Qt 5.6

See also Qt::AA_SynthesizeMouseForUnhandledTouchEvents.

enum Qt::NativeGestureType

This enum returns the gesture type.

Qt::NavigationModeKeypadDirectional2Qt::Key_Up, Qt::Key_Down, Qt::Key_Left and Qt::Key_Right are used to change focus.
Qt::NavigationModeCursorAuto3The mouse cursor is used to change focus, it is displayed only on non touchscreen devices. The keypad is used to implement a virtual cursor, unless the device has an analog mouse type of input device (e.g. touchpad). This is the recommended setting for an application such as a web browser that needs pointer control on both touch and non-touch devices.
Qt::NavigationModeCursorForceVisible4The mouse cursor is used to change focus, it is displayed regardless of device type. The keypad is used to implement a virtual cursor, unless the device has an analog mouse type of input device (e.g. touchpad)

Note: Cursor navigation is not currently implemented on any platform and behaves as NavigationModeNone.

See also QPen.

[since 6.5] enum class Qt::PermissionStatus

This enum describes the possible statuses of a permissions.

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::PermissionStatus::Undetermined0The permission status is not yet known. Permission should be requested via QCoreApplication::requestPermission() to determine the actual status. This status will never be the result of requesting a permission.
Qt::PermissionStatus::Granted1The user has explicitly granted the application the permission, or the permission is known to not require user authorization on the given platform.
Qt::PermissionStatus::Denied2The user has explicitly denied the application the requested permission, or the permission is known to not be accessible or applicable to applications on the given platform.

Note: On Android, there is no Undetermined status by the platform's APIs. Thus, if a permission is denied for an app, QCoreApplication::checkPermission() returns Undetermined by default until QCoreApplication::requestPermission() is called. After that QCoreApplication::checkPermission() reports a non Undetermined status.

This enum was introduced in Qt 6.5.

See also QCoreApplication::requestPermission(), QCoreApplication::checkPermission(), and Application Permissions.

enum Qt::ReturnByValueConstant

This is a dummy type, designed to help users transition from certain deprecated APIs to their replacement APIs.

See also QCursor::bitmap(), QCursor::mask(), QLabel::picture(), and QLabel::pixmap().

Qt::ScrollBarAlwaysOff1QAbstractScrollArea never shows a scroll bar.
Qt::ScrollBarAlwaysOn2QAbstractScrollArea always shows a scroll bar. This property is ignored on systems with transient scroll bars (e.g., on Mac from version 10.7).

(The modes for the horizontal and vertical scroll bars are independent.)

enum Qt::ScrollPhase

This enum describes the phase of scrolling.

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::NoScrollPhase0The input device doesn't support scroll phase. This value was introduced in Qt 5.7.
Qt::ScrollBegin1Scrolling is about to begin, but the scrolling distance did not yet change.
Qt::ScrollUpdate2The scrolling distance has changed (default).
Qt::ScrollEnd3Scrolling has ended, and the scrolling distance did not change anymore.
Qt::ScrollMomentum4The user no longer touches the input device, but scrolling continues due to scroll momentum. This value was introduced in Qt 5.12.

enum Qt::ShortcutContext

For a QEvent::Shortcut event to occur, the shortcut's key sequence must be entered by the user in a context where the shortcut is active. The possible contexts are these:

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::WidgetShortcut0The shortcut is active when its parent widget has focus.
Qt::WidgetWithChildrenShortcut3The shortcut is active when its parent widget, or any of its children has focus. Children which are top-level widgets, except pop-ups, are not affected by this shortcut context.
Qt::WindowShortcut1The shortcut is active when its parent widget is a logical subwidget of the active top-level window.
Qt::ApplicationShortcut2The shortcut is active when one of the applications windows are active.

enum Qt::SizeHint

This enum is used by QGraphicsLayoutItem::sizeHint()

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::MinimumSize0is used to specify the minimum size of a graphics layout item.
Qt::PreferredSize1is used to specify the preferred size of a graphics layout item.
Qt::MaximumSize2is used to specify the maximum size of a graphics layout item.
Qt::MinimumDescent3is used to specify the minimum descent of a text string in a graphics layout item.

See also QGraphicsLayoutItem::sizeHint().

enum Qt::SizeMode

This enum is used by QPainter::drawRoundedRect() and QPainterPath::addRoundedRect() functions to specify the radii of rectangle corners with respect to the dimensions of the bounding rectangles specified.

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::AbsoluteSize0Specifies the size using absolute measurements.
Qt::RelativeSize1Specifies the size relative to the bounding rectangle, typically using percentage measurements.

enum Qt::SortOrder

This enum describes how the items in a widget are sorted.

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::AscendingOrder0The items are sorted ascending e.g. starts with 'AAA' ends with 'ZZZ' in Latin-1 locales
Qt::DescendingOrder1The items are sorted descending e.g. starts with 'ZZZ' ends with 'AAA' in Latin-1 locales

enum Qt::TextElideMode

This enum specifies where the ellipsis should appear when displaying texts that don't fit:

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::ElideLeft0The ellipsis should appear at the beginning of the text.
Qt::ElideRight1The ellipsis should appear at the end of the text.
Qt::ElideMiddle2The ellipsis should appear in the middle of the text.
Qt::ElideNone3Ellipsis should NOT appear in the text. When passed to functions such as QFontMetrics::elidedText(), this will cause the full string to return unless the text contains multi-length variants. Elision in this case must be done by clipping to the component width.

Qt::ElideMiddle is normally the most appropriate choice for URLs (e.g., "http://bugreports.qt.../QTWEBSITE-13/"), whereas Qt::ElideRight is appropriate for other strings (e.g., "Deploying Applications on Ma...").

See also QAbstractItemView::textElideMode, QFontMetrics::elidedText(), AlignmentFlag, and QTabBar::elideMode.

enum Qt::TextFlag

This enum type is used to define some modifier flags. Some of these flags only make sense in the context of printing:

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::TextSingleLine0x0100Treats all whitespace as spaces and prints just one line.
Qt::TextDontClip0x0200If it's impossible to stay within the given bounds, it prints outside.
Qt::TextExpandTabs0x0400Makes the U+0009 (ASCII tab) character move to the next tab stop.
Qt::TextShowMnemonic0x0800Displays the string "&P" as P For an ampersand, use "&&".
Qt::TextWordWrap0x1000Breaks lines at appropriate points, e.g. at word boundaries.
Qt::TextWrapAnywhere0x2000Breaks lines anywhere, even within words.
Qt::TextHideMnemonic0x8000Same as Qt::TextShowMnemonic but doesn't draw the underlines.
Qt::TextDontPrint0x4000Treat this text as "hidden" and don't print it.
Qt::TextIncludeTrailingSpaces0x08000000When this option is set, QTextLine::naturalTextWidth() and QTextLine::naturalTextRect() will return a value that includes the width of trailing spaces in the text; otherwise this width is excluded.
Qt::TextJustificationForced0x10000Ensures that text lines are justified.

You can use as many modifier flags as you want, except that Qt::TextSingleLine and Qt::TextWordWrap cannot be combined.

Flags that are inappropriate for a given use are generally ignored.

enum Qt::TextFormat

This enum is used in widgets that can display both plain text and rich text, for example QLabel. It is used for deciding whether a text string should be interpreted as one or the other. This is normally done by passing one of the enum values to a QTextEdit::setTextFormat() function.

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::PlainText0The text string is interpreted as a plain text string.
Qt::RichText1The text string is interpreted as a rich text string. See Supported HTML Subset for the definition of rich text.
Qt::AutoText2The text string is interpreted as for Qt::RichText if Qt::mightBeRichText() returns true, otherwise as Qt::PlainText.
Qt::MarkdownText3The text string is interpreted as Markdown-formatted text. This enum value was added in Qt 5.14.

enum Qt::TextInteractionFlag
flags Qt::TextInteractionFlags

This enum specifies how a text displaying widget reacts to user input.

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::NoTextInteraction0No interaction with the text is possible.
Qt::TextSelectableByMouse1Text can be selected with the mouse and copied to the clipboard using a context menu or standard keyboard shortcuts.
Qt::TextSelectableByKeyboard2Text can be selected with the cursor keys on the keyboard. A text cursor is shown.
Qt::LinksAccessibleByMouse4Links can be highlighted and activated with the mouse.
Qt::LinksAccessibleByKeyboard8Links can be focused using tab and activated with enter.
Qt::TextEditable16The text is fully editable.
Qt::TextEditorInteractionTextSelectableByMouse | TextSelectableByKeyboard | TextEditableThe default for a text editor.
Qt::TextBrowserInteractionTextSelectableByMouse | LinksAccessibleByMouse | LinksAccessibleByKeyboardThe default for QTextBrowser.

The TextInteractionFlags type is a typedef for QFlags<TextInteractionFlag>. It stores an OR combination of TextInteractionFlag values.

enum Qt::TileRule

This enum describes how to repeat or stretch the parts of an image when drawing.

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::StretchTile0Scale the image to fit to the available area.
Qt::RepeatTile1Repeat the image until there is no more space. May crop the last image.
Qt::RoundTile2Similar to Repeat, but scales the image down to ensure that the last tile is not cropped.

enum Qt::TimeSpec

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::LocalTime0Local time, controlled by a system time-zone setting.
Qt::UTC1Coordinated Universal Time.
Qt::OffsetFromUTC2An offset in seconds from Coordinated Universal Time.
Qt::TimeZone3A named time zone.

Both LocalTime and TimeZone will take care of transitions, such as the start and end of daylight-saving time. UTC is the standard time relative to which time-zones are usually specified: Greenwich Mean Time has zero offset from it. Neither UTC nor OffsetFromUTC has any transitions.

When specifying a datetime using OffsetFromUTC, the offset from UTC must also be supplied (it is measured in seconds). To specify a datetime using TimeZone, a QTimeZone must be supplied. From Qt 6.5, a QTimeZone can now package a timespec with, where needed, an offset as a lightweight time description, so that passing a QTimeZone now provides a uniform way to use datetime APIs, saving the need to call them differently for different timespecs.

Note: After a change to the system time-zone setting, the behavior of LocalTime-based QDateTime objects created before the change is undefined: QDateTime may have cached data that the change invalidates. (This is not triggered by transitions of the system time-zone.) In long-running processes, updates to the system's time-zone data (e.g. when politicians change the rules for a zone) may likewise lead to conflicts between the updated time-zone information and data cached by QDateTime objects created before the update, using either LocalTime or TimeZone.

See also QTimeZone and QDateTime.

enum Qt::TimerType

The timer type indicates how accurate a timer can be.

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::PreciseTimer0Precise timers try to keep millisecond accuracy
Qt::CoarseTimer1Coarse timers try to keep accuracy within 5% of the desired interval
Qt::VeryCoarseTimer2Very coarse timers only keep full second accuracy

On UNIX (including Linux, macOS, and iOS), Qt will keep millisecond accuracy for Qt::PreciseTimer. For Qt::CoarseTimer, the interval will be adjusted up to 5% to align the timer with other timers that are expected to fire at or around the same time. The objective is to make most timers wake up at the same time, thereby reducing CPU wakeups and power consumption.

On Windows, Qt will use Windows's Multimedia timer facility (if available) for Qt::PreciseTimer and normal Windows timers for Qt::CoarseTimer and Qt::VeryCoarseTimer.

On all platforms, the interval for Qt::VeryCoarseTimer is rounded to the nearest full second (e.g. an interval of 23500ms will be rounded to 24000ms, and 20300ms to 20000ms).

enum Qt::ToolBarArea
flags Qt::ToolBarAreas

ConstantValue
Qt::LeftToolBarArea0x1
Qt::RightToolBarArea0x2
Qt::TopToolBarArea0x4
Qt::BottomToolBarArea0x8

The TouchPointStates type is a typedef for QFlags<TouchPointState>. It stores an OR combination of TouchPointState values.

enum Qt::TransformationMode

This enum type defines whether image transformations (e.g., scaling) should be smooth or not.

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::FastTransformation0The transformation is performed quickly, with no smoothing.
Qt::SmoothTransformation1The resulting image is transformed using bilinear filtering.

See also QImage::scaled().

enum Qt::UIEffect

This enum describes the available UI effects.

By default, Qt will try to use the platform specific desktop settings for each effect. Use the QApplication::setDesktopSettingsAware() function (passing false as argument) to prevent this, and the QApplication::setEffectEnabled() to enable or disable a particular effect.

Note that all effects are disabled on screens running at less than 16-bit color depth.

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::UI_AnimateMenu1Show animated menus.
Qt::UI_FadeMenu2Show faded menus.

enum Qt::WhiteSpaceMode

This enum describes the types of whitespace mode that are used by the QTextDocument class to meet the requirements of different kinds of textual information.

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::WhiteSpaceNormal0The whitespace mode used to display normal word wrapped text in paragraphs.
Qt::WhiteSpacePre1A preformatted text mode in which whitespace is reproduced exactly.
Qt::WhiteSpaceNoWrap2 

enum Qt::WidgetAttribute

This enum type is used to specify various widget attributes. Attributes are set and cleared with QWidget::setAttribute(), and queried with QWidget::testAttribute(), although some have special convenience functions which are mentioned below.

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::WA_AcceptDrops78Allows data from drag and drop operations to be dropped onto the widget (see QWidget::setAcceptDrops()).
Qt::WA_AlwaysShowToolTips84Enables tooltips for inactive windows.
Qt::WA_CustomWhatsThis47Indicates that the widget wants to continue operating normally in "What's This?" mode. This is set by the widget's author.
Qt::WA_DeleteOnClose55Makes Qt delete this widget when the widget has accepted the close event (see QWidget::closeEvent()).
Qt::WA_Disabled0Indicates that the widget is disabled, i.e. it does not receive any mouse or keyboard events. There is also a getter functions QWidget::isEnabled(). This is set/cleared by the Qt kernel.
Qt::WA_DontShowOnScreen103Indicates that the widget is hidden or is not a part of the viewable Desktop.
Qt::WA_ForceDisabled32Indicates that the widget is explicitly disabled, i.e. it will remain disabled even when all its ancestors are set to the enabled state. This implies WA_Disabled. This is set/cleared by QWidget::setEnabled() and QWidget::setDisabled().
Qt::WA_ForceUpdatesDisabled59Indicates that updates are explicitly disabled for the widget; i.e. it will remain disabled even when all its ancestors are set to the updates-enabled state. This implies WA_UpdatesDisabled. This is set/cleared by QWidget::setUpdatesEnabled().
Qt::WA_Hover74Forces Qt to generate paint events when the mouse enters or leaves the widget. This feature is typically used when implementing custom styles.
Qt::WA_InputMethodEnabled14Enables input methods for Asian languages. Must be set when creating custom text editing widgets.
Qt::WA_KeyboardFocusChange77Set on a toplevel window when the users changes focus with the keyboard (tab, backtab, or shortcut).
Qt::WA_KeyCompression33Enables key event compression if set, and disables it if not set. By default key compression is off, so widgets receive one key press event for each key press (or more, since autorepeat is usually on). If you turn it on and your program doesn't keep up with key input, Qt may try to compress key events so that more than one character can be processed in each event. For example, a word processor widget might receive 2, 3 or more characters in each QKeyEvent::text(), if the layout recalculation takes too long for the CPU. If a widget supports multiple character unicode input, it is always safe to turn the compression on. Qt performs key event compression only for printable characters. Qt::Modifier keys, cursor movement keys, function keys and miscellaneous action keys (e.g. Escape, Enter, Backspace, PrintScreen) will stop key event compression, even if there are more compressible key events available. Platforms other than Mac and X11 do not support this compression, in which case turning it on will have no effect. This is set/cleared by the widget's author.
Qt::WA_LayoutOnEntireRect48Indicates that the widget wants QLayout to operate on the entire QWidget::rect(), not only on QWidget::contentsRect(). This is set by the widget's author.
Qt::WA_LayoutUsesWidgetRect92Ignore the layout item rect from the style when laying out this widget with QLayout.
Qt::WA_MacOpaqueSizeGrip85Indicates that the native size grip should be opaque instead of transparent (the default). This attribute is only applicable to macOS and is set by the widget's author.
Qt::WA_MacShowFocusRect88Indicates that this widget should get a QFocusFrame around it. Some widgets draw their own focus halo regardless of this attribute. Not that the QWidget::focusPolicy also plays the main role in whether something is given focus or not, this only controls whether or not this gets the focus frame. This attribute is only applicable to macOS.
Qt::WA_MacNormalSize89Indicates the widget should have the normal size for widgets in macOS. This attribute is only applicable to macOS.
Qt::WA_MacSmallSize90Indicates the widget should have the small size for widgets in macOS. This attribute is only applicable to macOS.
Qt::WA_MacMiniSize91Indicates the widget should have the mini size for widgets in macOS. This attribute is only applicable to macOS.
Qt::WA_Mapped11Indicates that the widget is mapped on screen. This is set/cleared by the Qt kernel.
Qt::WA_MouseNoMask71Makes the widget receive mouse events for the entire widget regardless of the currently set mask, overriding QWidget::setMask(). This is not applicable for top-level windows.
Qt::WA_MouseTracking2Indicates that the widget has mouse tracking enabled. See QWidget::mouseTracking.
Qt::WA_Moved43Indicates that the widget has an explicit position. This is set/cleared by QWidget::move() and by QWidget::setGeometry().
Qt::WA_NoChildEventsForParent58Indicates that the widget does not want ChildAdded or ChildRemoved events sent to its parent. This is rarely necessary but can help to avoid automatic insertion widgets like splitters and layouts. This is set by a widget's author.
Qt::WA_NoChildEventsFromChildren39Indicates that the widget does not want to receive ChildAdded or ChildRemoved events sent from its children. This is set by a widget's author.
Qt::WA_NoMouseReplay54Used for pop-up widgets. Indicates that the most recent mouse press event should not be replayed when the pop-up widget closes. The flag is set by the widget's author and cleared by the Qt kernel every time the widget receives a new mouse event.
Qt::WA_NoMousePropagation73Prohibits mouse events from being propagated to the widget's parent. This attribute is disabled by default.
Qt::WA_TransparentForMouseEvents51When enabled, this attribute disables the delivery of mouse events to the widget and its children. Mouse events are delivered to other widgets as if the widget and its children were not present in the widget hierarchy; mouse clicks and other events effectively "pass through" them. This attribute is disabled by default.
Qt::WA_NoSystemBackground9Indicates that the widget has no background, i.e. when the widget receives paint events, the background is not automatically repainted. Note: Unlike WA_OpaquePaintEvent, newly exposed areas are never filled with the background (e.g., after showing a window for the first time the user can see "through" it until the application processes the paint events). This flag is set or cleared by the widget's author.
Qt::WA_OpaquePaintEvent4Indicates that the widget paints all its pixels when it receives a paint event. Thus, it is not required for operations like updating, resizing, scrolling and focus changes to erase the widget before generating paint events. The use of WA_OpaquePaintEvent provides a small optimization by helping to reduce flicker on systems that do not support double buffering and avoiding computational cycles necessary to erase the background prior to painting. Note: Unlike WA_NoSystemBackground, WA_OpaquePaintEvent makes an effort to avoid transparent window backgrounds. This flag is set or cleared by the widget's author.
Qt::WA_OutsideWSRange49Indicates that the widget is outside the valid range of the window system's coordinate system. A widget outside the valid range cannot be mapped on screen. This is set/cleared by the Qt kernel.
Qt::WA_PaintOnScreen8Indicates that the widget wants to draw directly onto the screen. Widgets with this attribute set do not participate in composition management, i.e. they cannot be semi-transparent or shine through semi-transparent overlapping widgets. Note: This flag is only supported on X11 and it disables double buffering. On Qt for Embedded Linux, the flag only works when set on a top-level widget and it relies on support from the active screen driver. This flag is set or cleared by the widget's author. To render outside of Qt's paint system, e.g., if you require native painting primitives, you need to reimplement QWidget::paintEngine() to return 0 and set this flag.
Qt::WA_PaintUnclipped52Makes all painters operating on this widget unclipped. Children of this widget or other widgets in front of it do not clip the area the painter can paint on. This flag is only supported for widgets with the WA_PaintOnScreen flag set. The preferred way to do this in a cross platform way is to create a transparent widget that lies in front of the other widgets.
Qt::WA_PendingMoveEvent34Indicates that a move event is pending, e.g., when a hidden widget was moved. This flag is set or cleared by the Qt kernel.
Qt::WA_PendingResizeEvent35Indicates that a resize event is pending, e.g., when a hidden widget was resized. This flag is set or cleared by the Qt kernel.
Qt::WA_QuitOnClose76Indicates that the widget should be taken into account when deciding whether to quit the application when the last window is closed. This behavior can be modified with the QGuiApplication::quitOnLastWindowClosed property. By default this attribute is set for all widgets of type Qt::Window.
Qt::WA_Resized42Indicates that the widget has an explicit size. This flag is set or cleared by QWidget::resize() and QWidget::setGeometry().
Qt::WA_RightToLeft56Indicates that the layout direction for the widget is right to left.
Qt::WA_SetCursor38Indicates that the widget has a cursor of its own. This flag is set or cleared by QWidget::setCursor() and QWidget::unsetCursor().
Qt::WA_SetFont37Indicates that the widget has a font of its own. This flag is set or cleared by QWidget::setFont().
Qt::WA_SetPalette36Indicates that the widget has a palette of its own. This flag is set or cleared by QWidget::setPalette().
Qt::WA_SetStyle86Indicates that the widget has a style of its own. This flag is set or cleared by QWidget::setStyle().
Qt::WA_ShowModal70This attribute has been deprecated. Use QWidget::windowModality instead.
Qt::WA_StaticContents5Indicates that the widget contents are north-west aligned and static. On resize, such a widget will receive paint events only for parts of itself that are newly visible. This flag is set or cleared by the widget's author.
Qt::WA_StyleSheet97Indicates that the widget is styled using a style sheet. WA_StyleSheet is set whenever a widget is subject to a style sheet, even if the style sheet did not affect the widget appearance.
Qt::WA_StyleSheetTarget131Indicates that the widget appearance was modified by a style sheet. WA_StyleSheet will also be set. This value was introduced in Qt 5.12.
Qt::WA_TabletTracking129Indicates that the widget has tablet tracking enabled. See QWidget::tabletTracking.
Qt::WA_TranslucentBackground120Indicates that the widget should have a translucent background, i.e., any non-opaque regions of the widgets will be translucent because the widget will have an alpha channel. Setting this flag causes WA_NoSystemBackground to be set. On Windows the widget also needs the Qt::FramelessWindowHint window flag to be set. This flag is set or cleared by the widget's author. As of Qt 5.0, toggling this attribute after the widget has been shown is not uniformly supported across platforms. When translucent background is desired, set the attribute early when creating the widget, and avoid altering it afterwards.
Qt::WA_UnderMouse1Indicates that the widget is under the mouse cursor. The value is not updated correctly during drag and drop operations. There is also a getter function, QWidget::underMouse(). This flag is set or cleared by the Qt kernel.
Qt::WA_UpdatesDisabled10Indicates that updates are blocked (including the system background). This flag is set or cleared by the Qt kernel. Warning: This flag must never be set or cleared by the widget's author.
Qt::WA_WindowModified41Indicates that the window is marked as modified. On some platforms this flag will do nothing, on others (including macOS and Windows) the window will take a modified appearance. This flag is set or cleared by QWidget::setWindowModified().
Qt::WA_WindowPropagation80Makes a toplevel window inherit font, palette and locale from its parent.
Qt::WA_MacAlwaysShowToolWindow96On macOS, show the tool window even when the application is not active. By default, all tool windows are hidden when the application is inactive.
Qt::WA_SetLocale87Indicates the locale should be taken into consideration in the widget.
Qt::WA_StyledBackground93Indicates the widget should be drawn using a styled background.
Qt::WA_ShowWithoutActivating98Show the widget without making it active.
Qt::WA_NativeWindow100Indicates that a native window is created for the widget. Enabling this flag will also force a native window for the widget's ancestors unless Qt::WA_DontCreateNativeAncestors is set.
Qt::WA_DontCreateNativeAncestors101Indicates that the widget's ancestors are kept non-native even though the widget itself is native.
Qt::WA_X11NetWmWindowTypeDesktop104Adds _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DESKTOP to the window's _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE X11 window property. See http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/ for more details. This attribute has no effect on non-X11 platforms.
Qt::WA_X11NetWmWindowTypeDock105Adds _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DOCK to the window's _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE X11 window property. See http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/ for more details. This attribute has no effect on non-X11 platforms.
Qt::WA_X11NetWmWindowTypeToolBar106Adds _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_TOOLBAR to the window's _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE X11 window property. See http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/ for more details. This attribute has no effect on non-X11 platforms. Note: Qt automatically sets this attribute for QToolBar.
Qt::WA_X11NetWmWindowTypeMenu107Adds _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_MENU to the window's _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE X11 window property. See http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/ for more details. This attribute has no effect on non-X11 platforms. Note: Qt automatically sets this attribute for QMenu when torn-off.
Qt::WA_X11NetWmWindowTypeUtility108Adds _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_UTILITY to the window's _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE X11 window property. See http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/ for more details. This attribute has no effect on non-X11 platforms. Note: Qt automatically sets this attribute for the Qt::Tool window type.
Qt::WA_X11NetWmWindowTypeSplash109Adds _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_SPLASH to the window's _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE X11 window property. See http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/ for more details. This attribute has no effect on non-X11 platforms. Note: Qt automatically sets this attribute for the Qt::SplashScreen window type.
Qt::WA_X11NetWmWindowTypeDialog110Adds _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DIALOG to the window's _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE X11 window property. See http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/ for more details. This attribute has no effect on non-X11 platforms. Note: Qt automatically sets this attribute for the Qt::Dialog and Qt::Sheet window types.
Qt::WA_X11NetWmWindowTypeDropDownMenu111Adds _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DROPDOWN_MENU to the window's _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE X11 window property. See http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/ for more details. This attribute has no effect on non-X11 platforms. Note: Qt automatically sets this attribute for QMenu objects added to a QMenuBar.
Qt::WA_X11NetWmWindowTypePopupMenu112Adds _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_POPUP_MENU to the window's _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE X11 window property. See http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/ for more details. This attribute has no effect on non-X11 platforms. Note: Qt automatically sets this attribute for QMenu.
Qt::WA_X11NetWmWindowTypeToolTip113Adds _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_TOOLTIP to the window's _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE X11 window property. See http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/ for more details. This attribute has no effect on non-X11 platforms. Note: Qt automatically sets this attribute for the Qt::ToolTip window type.
Qt::WA_X11NetWmWindowTypeNotification114Adds _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_NOTIFICATION to the window's _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE X11 window property. See http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/ for more details. This attribute has no effect on non-X11 platforms.
Qt::WA_X11NetWmWindowTypeCombo115Adds _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_COMBO to the window's _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE X11 window property. See http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/ for more details. This attribute has no effect on non-X11 platforms. Note: Qt automatically sets this attribute for the QComboBox pop-up.
Qt::WA_X11NetWmWindowTypeDND116Adds _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DND to the window's _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE X11 window property. See http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/ for more details. This attribute has no effect on non-X11 platforms. Note: Qt automatically sets this attribute on the feedback widget used during a drag.
Qt::WA_AcceptTouchEvents121Allows touch events (see QTouchEvent) to be sent to the widget. Must be set on all widgets that can handle touch events. Without this attribute set, events from a touch device will be sent as mouse events.
Qt::WA_TouchPadAcceptSingleTouchEvents123Allows touchpad single touch events to be sent to the widget.
Qt::WA_X11DoNotAcceptFocus126Asks the window manager to not give focus to this top level window. This attribute has no effect on non-X11 platforms.
Qt::WA_AlwaysStackOnTop (since Qt 5.4)128Forces QOpenGLWidget and QQuickWidget to be drawn last, on top of other widgets. Ignored for other type of widgets. Setting this attribute breaks the stacking order, but allows having a semi-transparent OpenGL widget with other widgets visible underneath. It is strongly recommended to call update() on the widget's top-level window after enabling or disabling this attribute.
Qt::WA_ContentsMarginsRespectsSafeArea130A QWidget respects the safe area margins of a window by incorporating the margins into its contents' margins by default. This means, that a QLayout will use the content area of a widget for its layout, unless the Qt::WA_LayoutOnEntireRect attribute is set. This along with a contents margin of 0 can be used on the actual layout, to allow for example a background image to underlay the status bar and other system areas on an iOS device, while still allowing child widgets of that background to be inset based on the safe area.

enum Qt::WindowFrameSection

This enum is used to describe parts of a window frame. It is returned by QGraphicsWidget::windowFrameSectionAt() to describe what section of the window frame is under the mouse.

ConstantValue
Qt::NoSection0
Qt::LeftSection1
Qt::TopLeftSection2
Qt::TopSection3
Qt::TopRightSection4
Qt::RightSection5
Qt::BottomRightSection6
Qt::BottomSection7
Qt::BottomLeftSection8
Qt::TitleBarArea9

See also QGraphicsWidget::windowFrameEvent(), QGraphicsWidget::paintWindowFrame(), and QGraphicsWidget::windowFrameSectionAt().

enum Qt::WindowModality

This enum specifies the behavior of a modal window. A modal window is one that blocks input to other windows. Note that windows that are children of a modal window are not blocked.

The values are:

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::NonModal0The window is not modal and does not block input to other windows.
Qt::WindowModal1The window is modal to a single window hierarchy and blocks input to its parent window, all grandparent windows, and all siblings of its parent and grandparent windows.
Qt::ApplicationModal2The window is modal to the application and blocks input to all windows.

See also QWidget::windowModality and QDialog.

enum Qt::WindowState
flags Qt::WindowStates

This enum type is used to specify the current state of a top-level window.

The states are

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::WindowNoState0x00000000The window has no state set (in normal state).
Qt::WindowMinimized0x00000001The window is minimized (i.e. iconified).
Qt::WindowMaximized0x00000002The window is maximized with a frame around it.
Qt::WindowFullScreen0x00000004The window fills the entire screen without any frame around it.
Qt::WindowActive0x00000008The window is the active window, i.e. it has keyboard focus.

The WindowStates type is a typedef for QFlags<WindowState>. It stores an OR combination of WindowState values.

enum Qt::WindowType
flags Qt::WindowFlags

This enum type is used to specify various window-system properties for the widget. They are fairly unusual but necessary in a few cases. Some of these flags depend on whether the underlying window manager supports them.

The main types are

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::Widget0x00000000This is the default type for QWidget. Widgets of this type are child widgets if they have a parent, and independent windows if they have no parent. See also Qt::Window and Qt::SubWindow.
Qt::Window0x00000001Indicates that the widget is a window, usually with a window system frame and a title bar, irrespective of whether the widget has a parent or not. Note that it is not possible to unset this flag if the widget does not have a parent.
Qt::Dialog0x00000002 | WindowIndicates that the widget is a window that should be decorated as a dialog (i.e., typically no maximize or minimize buttons in the title bar). This is the default type for QDialog. If you want to use it as a modal dialog, it should be launched from another window, or have a parent and used with the QWidget::windowModality property. If you make it modal, the dialog will prevent other top-level windows in the application from getting any input. We refer to a top-level window that has a parent as a secondary window.
Qt::Sheet0x00000004 | WindowIndicates that the window is a sheet on macOS. Since using a sheet implies window modality, the recommended way is to use QWidget::setWindowModality(), or QDialog::open(), instead.
Qt::DrawerSheet | DialogIndicates that the widget is a drawer on macOS. This feature is obsolete. Setting the flag has no effect.
Qt::Popup0x00000008 | WindowIndicates that the widget is a pop-up top-level window, i.e. that it is modal, but has a window system frame appropriate for pop-up menus.
Qt::ToolPopup | DialogIndicates that the widget is a tool window. A tool window is often a small window with a smaller than usual title bar and decoration, typically used for collections of tool buttons. If there is a parent, the tool window will always be kept on top of it. If there isn't a parent, you may consider using Qt::WindowStaysOnTopHint as well. If the window system supports it, a tool window can be decorated with a somewhat lighter frame. It can also be combined with Qt::FramelessWindowHint. On macOS, tool windows correspond to the NSPanel class of windows. This means that the window lives on a level above normal windows making it impossible to put a normal window on top of it. By default, tool windows will disappear when the application is inactive. This can be controlled by the Qt::WA_MacAlwaysShowToolWindow attribute.
Qt::ToolTipPopup | SheetIndicates that the widget is a tooltip. This is used internally to implement tooltips.
Qt::SplashScreenToolTip | DialogIndicates that the window is a splash screen. This is the default type for QSplashScreen.
Qt::SubWindow0x00000012Indicates that this widget is a sub-window, such as a QMdiSubWindow widget.
Qt::ForeignWindow0x00000020 | WindowIndicates that this window object is a handle representing a native platform window created by another process or by manually using native code.
Qt::CoverWindow0x00000040 | WindowIndicates that the window represents a cover window, which is shown when the application is minimized on some platforms.

There are also a number of flags which you can use to customize the appearance of top-level windows. These have no effect on other windows:

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::MSWindowsFixedSizeDialogHint0x00000100Gives the window a thin dialog border on Windows. This style is traditionally used for fixed-size dialogs.

Note: The use of this flag is not recommended in multi-monitor environments. This is because the system will enforce that the window maintains its native size when moving it across screens. This is particularly undesirable when using monitors with different resolutions.

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::MSWindowsOwnDC0x00000200Gives the window its own display context on Windows.
Qt::BypassWindowManagerHint0x00000400This flag can be used to indicate to the platform plugin that "all" window manager protocols should be disabled. This flag will behave different depending on what operating system the application is running on and what window manager is running. The flag can be used to get a native window with no configuration set.
Qt::X11BypassWindowManagerHintBypassWindowManagerHintBypass the window manager completely. This results in a borderless window that is not managed at all (i.e., no keyboard input unless you call QWidget::activateWindow() manually).
Qt::FramelessWindowHint0x00000800Produces a borderless window.

On X11, the result of the flag is dependent on the window manager and its ability to understand Motif and/or NETWM hints. Most existing modern window managers can handle this.

Note: If the window manager relies on the frame to interactively manipulate the window, the user can no longer move or resize the window via the window system, but this side effect should not be relied on. To produce a fixed size window that can not be resized, please set QWindow::setMinimumSize() and QWindow::setMaximumSize() to the same size.

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::NoDropShadowWindowHint0x40000000Disables window drop shadow on supporting platforms.

The CustomizeWindowHint flag is used to enable customization of the window controls. This flag must be set to allow the WindowTitleHint, WindowSystemMenuHint, WindowMinimizeButtonHint, WindowMaximizeButtonHint and WindowCloseButtonHint flags to be changed.

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::CustomizeWindowHint0x02000000Turns off the default window title hints.
Qt::WindowTitleHint0x00001000Gives the window a title bar.
Qt::WindowSystemMenuHint0x00002000Adds a window system menu, and possibly a close button (for example on Mac). If you need to hide or show a close button, it is more portable to use WindowCloseButtonHint.
Qt::WindowMinimizeButtonHint0x00004000Adds a minimize button. On some platforms this implies Qt::WindowSystemMenuHint for it to work.
Qt::WindowMaximizeButtonHint0x00008000Adds a maximize button. On some platforms this implies Qt::WindowSystemMenuHint for it to work.
Qt::WindowMinMaxButtonsHintWindowMinimizeButtonHint | WindowMaximizeButtonHintAdds a minimize and a maximize button. On some platforms this implies Qt::WindowSystemMenuHint for it to work.
Qt::WindowCloseButtonHint0x08000000Adds a close button. On some platforms this implies Qt::WindowSystemMenuHint for it to work.
Qt::WindowContextHelpButtonHint0x00010000Adds a context help button to dialogs. On some platforms this implies Qt::WindowSystemMenuHint for it to work.
Qt::MacWindowToolBarButtonHint0x10000000On macOS adds a tool bar button (i.e., the oblong button that is on the top right of windows that have toolbars).
Qt::WindowFullscreenButtonHint0x80000000On macOS adds a fullscreen button.
Qt::BypassGraphicsProxyWidget0x20000000Prevents the window and its children from automatically embedding themselves into a QGraphicsProxyWidget if the parent widget is already embedded. You can set this flag if you want your widget to always be a toplevel widget on the desktop, regardless of whether the parent widget is embedded in a scene or not.
Qt::WindowShadeButtonHint0x00020000Adds a shade button in place of the minimize button if the underlying window manager supports it.
Qt::WindowStaysOnTopHint0x00040000Informs the window system that the window should stay on top of all other windows. Note that on some window managers on X11 you also have to pass Qt::X11BypassWindowManagerHint for this flag to work correctly.
Qt::WindowStaysOnBottomHint0x04000000Informs the window system that the window should stay on bottom of all other windows.

Note: On X11, this hint will work only in window managers that support _NET_WM_STATE_BELOW atom. If a window always on the bottom has a parent, the parent will also be left on the bottom. This window hint is currently not implemented for macOS.

Note: On Windows, this will work only for frameless or full-screen windows.

ConstantValueDescription
Qt::WindowTransparentForInput0x00080000Informs the window system that this window is used only for output (displaying something) and does not take input. Therefore input events should pass through as if it wasn't there.
Qt::WindowOverridesSystemGestures0x00100000Informs the window system that this window implements its own set of gestures and that system level gestures, like for instance three-finger desktop switching, should be disabled.
Qt::WindowDoesNotAcceptFocus0x00200000Informs the window system that this window should not receive the input focus.
Qt::MaximizeUsingFullscreenGeometryHint0x00400000Informs the window system that when maximizing the window it should use as much of the available screen geometry as possible, including areas that may be covered by system UI such as status bars or application launchers. This may result in the window being placed under these system UIs, but does not guarantee it, depending on whether or not the platform supports it. When the flag is enabled the user is responsible for taking QScreen::availableGeometry() into account, so that any UI elements in the application that require user interaction are not covered by system UI.
Qt::WindowType_Mask0x000000ffA mask for extracting the window type part of the window flags.

The WindowFlags type is a typedef for QFlags<WindowType>. It stores an OR combination of WindowType values.

See also QWidget::windowFlags and Window Flags Example.

Function Documentation

[since 6.2] void beginPropertyUpdateGroup()

Marks the beginning of a property update group. Inside this group, changing a property does neither immediately update any dependent properties nor does it trigger change notifications. Those are instead deferred until the group is ended by a call to endPropertyUpdateGroup.

Groups can be nested. In that case, the deferral ends only after the outermost group has been ended.

Note: Change notifications are only send after all property values affected by the group have been updated to their new values. This allows re-establishing a class invariant if multiple properties need to be updated, preventing any external observer from noticing an inconsistent state.

This function was introduced in Qt 6.2.

See also Qt::endPropertyUpdateGroup and QScopedPropertyUpdateGroup.

QTextStream &Qt::bin(QTextStream &stream)

Calls QTextStream::setIntegerBase(2) on stream and returns stream.

See also oct(), dec(), hex(), and QTextStream manipulators.

QTextStream &Qt::bom(QTextStream &stream)

Toggles insertion of the Byte Order Mark on stream when QTextStream is used with a UTF encoding.

See also QTextStream::setGenerateByteOrderMark() and QTextStream manipulators.

QTextStream &Qt::center(QTextStream &stream)

Calls QTextStream::setFieldAlignment(QTextStream::AlignCenter) on stream and returns stream.

See also left(), right(), and QTextStream manipulators.

[constexpr noexcept, since 6.7] template <typename LeftInt, typename RightInt, Qt::if_integral<LeftInt> = true, Qt::if_integral = true> Qt::strong_ordering compareThreeWay(LeftInt lhs, RightInt rhs)

This is an overloaded function.

Implements three-way comparison of integral types.

Note: This function participates in overload resolution only if both LeftInt and RightInt are built-in integral types.

Returns lhs <=> rhs, provided LeftInt and RightInt are built-in integral types. Unlike operator<=>(), this function template is also available in C++17. See cppreference for more details.

This function can also be used in custom compareThreeWay() functions, when ordering members of a custom class represented by built-in types:

 class MyClass {
 public:
     ...
 private:

[constexpr noexcept, since 6.7] template <typename LeftFloat, typename RightFloat, Qt::if_floating_point<LeftFloat> = true, Qt::if_floating_point = true> Qt::partial_ordering compareThreeWay(LeftFloat lhs, RightFloat rhs)

This is an overloaded function.

Implements three-way comparison of floating point types.

Note: This function participates in overload resolution only if both LeftFloat and RightFloat are built-in floating-point types.

Returns lhs <=> rhs, provided LeftFloat and RightFloat are built-in floating-point types. Unlike operator<=>(), this function template is also available in C++17. See cppreference for more details.

This function can also be used in custom compareThreeWay() functions, when ordering members of a custom class represented by built-in types:

 class MyClass {
 public:
     ...
 private:
     double value;
     ...
     friend Qt::partial_ordering
     compareThreeWay(const MyClass &lhs, const MyClass &rhs) noexcept
     { return Qt::compareThreeWay(lhs.value, rhs.value); }
     Q_DECLARE_PARTIALLY_ORDERED(MyClass)
 };

Returns an instance of Qt::partial_ordering that represents the relation between lhs and rhs. If lhs or rhs is not a number (NaN), Qt::partial_ordering::unordered is returned.

This function was introduced in Qt 6.7.

Implements three-way comparison of integral and floating point types.

Note: This function participates in overload resolution only if IntType is a built-in integral type and FloatType is a built-in floating-point type.

This function converts lhs to FloatType and calls the overload for floating-point types.

Returns an instance of Qt::partial_ordering that represents the relation between lhs and rhs. If rhs is not a number (NaN), Qt::partial_ordering::unordered is returned.

[constexpr noexcept, since 6.7] template <typename LeftType, typename RightType, Qt::if_compatible_pointers<LeftType, RightType> = true> Qt::strong_ordering compareThreeWay(const LeftType *lhs, const RightType *rhs)

This is an overloaded function.

Implements three-way comparison of pointers.

Note: This function participates in overload resolution if LeftType and RightType are the same type, or base and derived types. It is also used to compare any pointer to std::nullptr_t.

Returns an instance of Qt::strong_ordering that represents the relation between lhs and rhs.

This function was introduced in Qt 6.7.

[constexpr noexcept, since 6.7] template <typename Enum, Qt::if_enum<Enum> = true> Qt::strong_ordering compareThreeWay(Enum lhs, Enum rhs)
