\brief The Digital Clock example shows how to use QLCDNumber to display a
|
|
number with LCD-like digits.

This example also demonstrates how QTimer can be used to update a widget
|
|
at regular intervals.

\section1 DigitalClock Class Definition
|
|
|
|
The \c DigitalClock class provides a clock widget showing the time with
|
|
hours and minutes separated by a blinking colon. We subclass QLCDNumber
|
|
and implement a private slot called \c showTime() to update the clock
|
|
display:

\section1 DigitalClock Class Implementation
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
In the constructor, we first change the look of the LCD numbers. The
|
|
QLCDNumber::Filled style produces raised segments filled with the
|
|
foreground color (typically black). We also set up a one-second timer
|
|
to keep track of the current time, and we connect
|
|
its \l{QTimer::timeout()}{timeout()} signal to the private \c showTime() slot
|
|
so that the display is updated every second. Then, we
|
|
call the \c showTime() slot; without this call, there would be a one-second
|
|
delay at startup before the time is shown.
|
|
|
|

|
\snippet widgets/digitalclock/digitalclock.cpp 2
|
|
|
|
The \c showTime() slot is called whenever the clock display needs
|
|
to be updated.
|
|
|
|
The current time is converted into a string with the format "hh:mm".
|
|
When QTime::second() is a even number, the colon in the string is
|
|
replaced with a space. This makes the colon appear and vanish every
|
|
other second.
|
|
|
|
Finally, we call QLCDNumber::display() to update the widget.
