The QAbstractSlider class provides an integer value within a range.
The class is designed as a common super class for widgets like QScrollBar, QSlider and QDial.
Here are the main properties of the class:
Unity (1) may be viewed as a third step size. setValue() lets you set the current value to any integer in the allowed range, not just minimum() + n * singleStep() for integer values of n. Some widgets may allow the user to set any value at all; others may just provide multiples of singleStep() or pageStep().
QAbstractSlider emits a comprehensive set of signals:
| Signal | Emitted when |
|---|---|
| valueChanged() | the value has changed. The tracking determines whether this signal is emitted during user interaction. |
| sliderPressed() | the user starts to drag the slider. |
| sliderMoved() | the user drags the slider. |
| sliderReleased() | the user releases the slider. |
| actionTriggered() | a slider action was triggerd. |
| rangeChanged() | a the range has changed. |
QAbstractSlider provides a virtual sliderChange() function that is well suited for updating the on-screen representation of sliders. By calling triggerAction(), subclasses trigger slider actions. Two helper functions QStyle::sliderPositionFromValue() and QStyle::sliderValueFromPosition() help subclasses and styles to map screen coordinates to logical range values.

This property holds whether or not a slider shows its values inverted.
If this property is false (the default), the minimum and maximum will be shown in its classic position for the inherited widget. If the value is true, the minimum and maximum appear at their opposite
location.
Note: This property makes most sense for sliders and dials. For scroll bars, the visual effect of the scroll bar subcontrols depends on whether or not the styles understand inverted appearance; most styles ignore this property for scroll bars.
Access functions:
| bool | invertedAppearance() const |
| void | setInvertedAppearance(bool) |
This property holds whether or not the slider inverts its wheel and key events.
If this property is false, scrolling the mouse wheel "up" and using keys like page up will increase the slider's value towards its maximum. Otherwise pressing page up will move value towards the slider's
minimum.
Access functions:
| bool | invertedControls() const |
| void | setInvertedControls(bool) |
This property holds the slider's maximum value
When setting this property, the minimum is adjusted if necessary to ensure that the range remains valid. Also the slider's current value is adjusted to be within the new range.
Access functions:
| int | maximum() const |
| void | setMaximum(int) |
This property holds the sliders's minimum value
When setting this property, the maximum is adjusted if necessary to ensure that the range remains valid. Also the slider's current value is adjusted to be within the new range.
Access functions:
| int | minimum() const |
| void | setMinimum(int) |
This property holds the orientation of the slider
The orientation must be Qt::Vertical (the default) or Qt::Horizontal.
Access functions:
| Qt::Orientation | orientation() const |
| void | setOrientation(Qt::Orientation) |
This property holds the page step.
The larger of two natural steps that an abstract slider provides and typically corresponds to the user pressing PageUp or PageDown.
Access functions:
| int | pageStep() const |
| void | setPageStep(int) |
See also singleStep.
This property holds the single step.
The smaller of two natural steps that an abstract sliders provides and typically corresponds to the user pressing an arrow key.
If the property is modified during an auto repeating key event, behavior is undefined.
Access functions:
| int | singleStep() const |
| void | setSingleStep(int) |
See also pageStep.
This property holds whether the slider is pressed down.
The property is set by subclasses in order to let the abstract slider know whether or not tracking has any effect.
Changing the slider down property emits the sliderPressed() and sliderReleased() signals.
Access functions:
| bool | isSliderDown() const |
| void | setSliderDown(bool) |
This property holds the current slider position
If tracking is enabled (the default), this is identical to value.
Access functions:
| int | sliderPosition() const |
| void | setSliderPosition(int) |
Notifier signal:
| void | sliderMoved(int value) |
This property holds whether slider tracking is enabled
If tracking is enabled (the default), the slider emits the valueChanged() signal while the slider is being dragged. If tracking is disabled, the slider emits the valueChanged() signal only when the user releases the slider.
Access functions:
| bool | hasTracking() const |
| void | setTracking(bool enable) |
See also sliderDown.
This property holds the slider's current value
The slider forces the value to be within the legal range: minimum <= value <= maximum.
Changing the value also changes the sliderPosition.
Access functions:
| int | value() const |
| void | setValue(int) |
Notifier signal:
| void | valueChanged(int value) |
Constructs an abstract slider.
The parent argument is sent to the QWidget constructor.
The minimum defaults to 0, the maximum to 99, with a singleStep size of 1 and a pageStep size of 10, and an initial value of 0.
[virtual] QAbstractSlider::~QAbstractSlider()Destroys the slider.
[signal] void QAbstractSlider::actionTriggered(int action)This signal is emitted when the slider action action is triggered. Actions are SliderSingleStepAdd, SliderSingleStepSub, SliderPageStepAdd, SliderPageStepSub, SliderToMinimum, SliderToMaximum, and SliderMove.
When the signal is emitted, the sliderPosition has been adjusted according to the action, but the value has not yet been propagated (meaning the valueChanged() signal was not yet emitted), and the visual display has not been updated. In slots connected to this signal you can thus safely adjust any action by calling setSliderPosition() yourself, based on both the action and the slider's value.
See also triggerAction().
[override virtual protected] void QAbstractSlider::changeEvent(QEvent *ev)Reimplemented from QWidget::changeEvent().
[override virtual protected] bool QAbstractSlider::event(QEvent *e)Reimplemented from QWidget::event().
[override virtual protected] void QAbstractSlider::keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *ev)Reimplemented from QWidget::keyPressEvent().
[signal] void QAbstractSlider::rangeChanged(int
min, int max)This signal is emitted when the slider range has changed, with min being the new minimum, and max being the new maximum.
[protected] QAbstractSlider::SliderAction QAbstractSlider::repeatAction() constReturns the current repeat action.
See also setRepeatAction().
[slot] void QAbstractSlider::setRange(int min, int max)Sets the slider's minimum to min and its maximum to max.
If max is smaller than min, min becomes the only legal value.
[protected] void QAbstractSlider::setRepeatAction(QAbstractSlider::SliderAction action, int thresholdTime = 500, int repeatTime = 50)Sets action action to be triggered repetitively in intervals of repeatTime, after an initial delay of thresholdTime.
See also triggerAction() and repeatAction().
[virtual protected] void QAbstractSlider::sliderChange(QAbstractSlider::SliderChange change)Reimplement this virtual function to track slider changes such as SliderRangeChange, SliderOrientationChange, SliderStepsChange, or SliderValueChange. The default implementation only updates the display and ignores the change parameter.
[signal] void QAbstractSlider::sliderMoved(int
value)This signal is emitted when sliderDown is true and the slider moves. This usually happens when the user is dragging the slider. The value is the new slider position.
This signal is emitted even when tracking is turned off.
Note: Notifier signal for property sliderPosition.
See also setTracking(), valueChanged(), isSliderDown(), sliderPressed(), and sliderReleased().
[signal] void QAbstractSlider::sliderPressed()This signal is emitted when the user presses the slider with the mouse, or programmatically when setSliderDown(true) is called.
See also sliderReleased(), sliderMoved(), and isSliderDown().
[signal] void QAbstractSlider::sliderReleased()This signal is emitted when the user releases the slider with the mouse, or programmatically when setSliderDown(false) is called.
See also sliderPressed(), sliderMoved(), and sliderDown.
[override virtual protected] void QAbstractSlider::timerEvent(QTimerEvent *e)Reimplemented from QObject::timerEvent().
Triggers a slider action. Possible actions are SliderSingleStepAdd, SliderSingleStepSub, SliderPageStepAdd, SliderPageStepSub, SliderToMinimum, SliderToMaximum, and SliderMove.
See also actionTriggered().
[signal] void QAbstractSlider::valueChanged(int
value)This signal is emitted when the slider value has changed, with the new slider value as argument.
Note: Notifier signal for property value.
