 I don't think JSON is particulary suitable for this kind of application
 (and neither is XML).
 CBOR might be, since it does support undefined length maps and arrays.
I'm not familiar with that format, but I'll look it up. I guess the 
choice for JSON or XML is made due to convenience though, as classes to 
read and write these are readily available. I doubt the same can be said 
of CBOR.
 As for XML, the format may not be suitable but QXmlStreamWriter is since it
 keeps the state of which tags it needs to close and allows you to simply
 stream data into it. On the receiver side, QXmlStreamReader is capable of
 receiving incomplete data and making the best it can with what has been
 completed.
I'd expect a log-file like output to be well defined at any moment in 
time, or as close as possible to that. So, while QXmlStreamWriter is 
suitable, it does not produce a valid XML file until you finalize the 
write. That may not be what you want (even though QXmlStreamReader could 
be used to parse the incomplete file*).

I think a simpler aproach may be a better one in such cases: simply add 
new values to the end of a file when the become available. No fancy 
markup languages to wrap them. That will result in a smaller file 
(especially compared to XML), faster writing and no problems reading the 
data back in. Simple CSV will do if you want a text-based file, but a 
binary file could also function really well if that is not needed. Just 
append to the file when you have new data available. Such approaches 
have worked with log files for decades :-)

 Hi,

 the title says it all...

 I can't find any signals that expose this information in the model.
 I would like to know this from the QML ListView component. What i can
 do is tell the model where the current y position is in the models
 content and the height of each row. That gives me enough information
 to calculate which rows are visible, but i'm hoping there is some
 way out there that i just haven't discovered yet.

 I'm asking because i have a big dataset and only want to sort the data
 that is visible for the user (partial_sort along with nth_element will
 do that).
AFAIK, there are no facilities for that. The way to know what data is 
needed, is simply to respond to the data() calls in QAbstractItemModel. 
Only rows that are needed are (should be) fetched. But that information 
is not shared in advance.

Are you sure that this is your performance bottleneck though? To me, it 
sounds like premature optimization to worry about this and to try to 
optimize this.

No, that is not safe. You can use database access from threads, but 
every thread needs it own QSqlDatabase instance of the database 
connection. The documentation states:
A connection can only be used from within the thread that created it. 
Moving connections between threads or creating queries from a different 
thread is not supported.

Re: [Interest] Shift+Tab Shortcut

 Hello list!

 We ported our software from QT3 Support to Pure QT4 and now we are facing 
 some different behaviour on the shortcuts, we have managed almost all of the 
 problems, unless the Shift+Tab shortcut that we need to intercept.

 When it was Qt3 Support we had this:
 Q3Action *q3act = new Q3Action(this);
 QKeySequence *ks = new QKeySequence(Qt::Key_Backtab);
 q3act-setAccel(*ks);
 connect(q3act,SIGNAL(activated()),this,SLOT(keypress()));

 And when pressed, the SLOT keypress was called and everything was working 
 like it should.

 To port to QT4 we did this:
 QAction *act3 = new QAction(this);
 QKeySequence *ks = new QKeySequence(Qt::Key_Backtab);
 act3-setShortcut(*ks);
 addAction(act3);
 connect(act3,SIGNAL(triggered()),this,SLOT(keypress()));


 All the other shortcuts worked unless the backtab (shift+tab)! We have tried 
 to use this on the keypress event too:
 void keyPressEvent( QKeyEvent * e )
 {
// Even if I test Qt::Key_Tab it doens't work either
if ((e-modifiers()==Qt::ShiftModifier  e-key() == Qt::Key_Backtab) || 
 e-key()==Qt::Key_Backtab)
{
  QMessageBox msgbox;
  msgbox.setText(backtab);
  msgbox.exec();
}
 }

 It hadn't worked either.

 The only thing that resolved this was to grab the FocusOut event and test if 
 it was a backtab reason, but in my personal opinion it is an horrible 
 solution!
 Aren't these 2 other methods supposed to work? What are we doing wrong?

 Thanks in advance,

 Reimplement the moveEvent of the main window

 Converting widget positions in and out of the

While Bill is right, there is another way that allows you to do this 
without changing the main window for it: event filters. That will allow 
you to keep all the code you need for this in one place, in the widget 
that you want to make move.

What I'd do, is give that widget a constructor argument with a pointer 
to the widget to follow around. Using QWidget::window, you find out what 
the window is the widget to be followed lives in. Install an event 
filter on that window-widget. If you use scrollable views somewhere, 
you'll need to iterate up yourself, to install the event filter for 
every widget in between too.
In your widget-that-follows, reimplement the eventFilter(QObject*, 
QEvent*) method, and look for move and resize events. If you get these, 
you again take the geometry of the widget-to-follow, and use the 
mapToGlobal function of the widget-to-follow to get the global 
coordinates. Then, re-position your widget-that-follows to those 
coordinates.

 A C cast is equivalent to a chain of reinterpret_cast and const_cast. It does
 not do static casting or dynamic casting, which means it will not do pointer
 adjustments properly.

 So, as a rule of thumb: do not use C-style casts in C++ code and always use
 the least invasive C++ cast operator that you can use. And another rule of
 thumb: dynamic_casts are always checked[*], all the other casts are never
 checked.
You're overlooking our very own qobject_cast. That one works on QObject 
derived classes without requiring the use of RTTI in the compiler, and 
work across library boundaries. So, if your class inherits QObject, I'd 
prefer qobject_cast instead.

 I think so.
 But how since the base class is obviously a little too focused on

 for heat based sensors? So i guess the base would be QHeatSensor.
 Then for the actual sensors it would look somewhat like:
 QCpuSensor : public QHeatSensor
 QGpuSensor : public QHeatSensor
 ...

 But then you still have other sensors. Last one that comes to mind is
 fan speed. A CPU also has a fan speed sensor so how would that work?
 Another base for speed control QFanSpeed which is then also
 inherited by the QCpuSensor? It would look like this:
 QCpuSensor : public QHeatSensor, public QFanSpeed
That API seems unlikely to me. It seems far more likely that we'd see a 
QHeatSensor and some API to first enumerate the available heat sensors, 
and then get them. Or, perhaps, we'd see an even more generic sensor 
like QSimpleScalarSensor that could contain anything from a heat, a fan 
speed to a voltage. You'd still need API to enumerate and get them, of 
course. However, I'm not working on this, so don't rely on my answer :-)

No, I got that part. My point was (or was supposed to be) that QComboBox 
can also display a tree directly, if you use it's setView method and set 
a tree view there. For easy use, you'd only need to confine the tree to 
a single column, but the parent/child relationship does not need to be 
removed for that.

Re: [Interest] Does it really worth it?

 Right, KDChart is available in both GPL and commercial license, see 
 https://customers.kdab.com/ :)

But, you'll have to admit, that KDAB is not really all that clear on its 
site on the option that you can also use GPL. I found it out only when I 
downloaded 'demo' code (after creating a login). When I inspected it, 
the headers told me it was under GPL licence.
Still, once you figure it out, it's a nice set of components.

Re: [Interest] Qt is good because...

 Hi,

 http://qt-project.org/wiki/Qt-is-Good

 Please help creating a list of points explaining why Qt is good compared
 to other alternatives for application developers.

 Let’s focus on specifics: contrastable proof points and experiences from
 developers working in different platforms are greatly appreciated.

 You can reply here or edit directly the wiki. In any keep I'll do my
 best keeping all the relevant information in the wiki page.

 Thank you!
The two main points are for me:
* The documentation is clearly best-of-breed, and
* The API's are generally clear and consistent, making the framework 
easy to learn and predictable

As a bonus: it has a great community around it! :-)

Re: [Interest] Logging best practice.

Hi all,
is the state of the art use the debug functions (qDebug, qWarning, 
...) in conjunction with a custom message handler (qInstallMsgHandler) 
for log to file system?
I found very simple and useful this approach, but I think that a log 
function with message level is needed (i.e: qMessage() ) for a 
complete set of logging levels.

Anyone else think that we need a new function with message log level?
Thanks in advance,
Stefano.


Did you evaluate Qxt's logging framework?
