Detailed Description

A generic implementation of the "find" function.

Author
S.R.Haque srhaq.nosp@m.ue@i.nosp@m.ee.or.nosp@m.g, David Faure faure.nosp@m.@kde.nosp@m..org, Arend van Beelen jr. arend.nosp@m.@aut.nosp@m.on.nl

Detail:

This class includes prompt handling etc. Also provides some static functions which can be used to create custom behavior instead of using the class directly.

Example:

To use the class to implement a complete find feature:

In the slot connected to the find action, after using KFindDialog:

// This creates a find-next-prompt dialog if needed.
m_find = new KFind(pattern, options, this);
// Connect highlight signal to code which handles highlighting
// of found text.
connect( m_find, TQ_SIGNAL( highlight( const TQString &, int, int ) ),
this, TQ_SLOT( slotHighlight( const TQString &, int, int ) ) );
// Connect findNext signal - called when pressing the button in the dialog
connect( m_find, TQ_SIGNAL( findNext() ),
this, TQ_SLOT( slotFindNext() ) );
KFind::KFind
KFind(const TQString &pattern, long options, TQWidget *parent)
Only use this constructor if you don't use KFindDialog, or if you use it as a modal dialog.
Definition: kfind.cpp:118
KFind::pattern
TQString pattern() const
Definition: kfind.h:209
KFind::highlight
void highlight(const TQString &text, int matchingIndex, int matchedLength)
Connect to this signal to implement highlighting of found text during the find operation.
KFind::options
long options() const
Return the current options.
Definition: kfind.h:196

If you are using a non-modal find dialog (the recommended new way in KDE-3.2), you should call right away m_find->closeFindNextDialog().

Then initialize the variables determining the "current position" (to the cursor, if the option FromCursor is set, to the beginning of the selection if the option SelectedText is set, and to the beginning of the document otherwise). Initialize the "end of search" variables as well (end of doc or end of selection). Swap begin and end if FindBackwards. Finally, call slotFindNext();

void slotFindNext()
{
KFind::Result res = KFind::NoMatch;
while ( res == KFind::NoMatch && <position not at end> ) {
if ( m_find->needData() )
m_find->setData( <current text fragment> );
// Let KFind inspect the text fragment, and display a dialog if a match is found
res = m_find->find();
if ( res == KFind::NoMatch ) {
<Move to the next text fragment, honoring the FindBackwards setting for the direction>
}
}
if ( res == KFind::NoMatch ) // i.e. at end
<Call either m_find->displayFinalDialog(); delete m_find; m_find = 0L;
or if ( m_find->shouldRestart() ) { reinit (w/o FromCursor) and call slotFindNext(); }
else { m_find->closeFindNextDialog(); }>
}
KFind::Result
Result
Result enum.
Definition: kfind.h:140
KFind::NoMatch
@ NoMatch
No match was found.
Definition: kfind.h:141

Don't forget to delete m_find in the destructor of your class, unless you gave it a parent widget on construction.

This implementation allows to have a "Find Next" action, which resumes the search, even if the user closed the "Find Next" dialog.

A "Find Previous" action can simply switch temporarily the value of FindBackwards and call slotFindNext() - and reset the value afterwards.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ KFind() [1/2]

KFind::KFind ( const TQString &  pattern,
long  options,
TQWidget *  parent 
)

Only use this constructor if you don't use KFindDialog, or if you use it as a modal dialog.

Parameters
patternThe pattern to look for.
optionsOptions for the find dialog.
See also
KFindDialog.
Parameters
parentThe parent widget.

Definition at line 118 of file kfind.cpp.

◆ KFind() [2/2]

KFind::KFind ( const TQString &  pattern,
long  options,
TQWidget *  parent,
TQWidget *  findDialog 
)

This is the recommended constructor if you also use KFindDialog (non-modal).

You should pass the pointer to it here, so that when a message box appears it has the right parent. Don't worry about deletion, KFind will notice if the find dialog is closed.

Parameters
patternThe pattern to look for.
optionsOptions for the find dialog.
See also
KFindDialog.
Parameters
parentThe parent widget.
findDialogA pointer to the KFindDialog object.

Definition at line 126 of file kfind.cpp.

◆ ~KFind()

KFind::~KFind ( )
virtual

Destructor.

Definition at line 150 of file kfind.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

◆ closeFindNextDialog()

void KFind::closeFindNextDialog ( )

Close the "find next?" dialog.

The application should do this when the last match was hit. If the application deletes the KFind, then "find previous" won't be possible anymore.

IMPORTANT: you should also call this if you are using a non-modal find dialog, to tell KFind not to pop up its own dialog.

Definition at line 681 of file kfind.cpp.

◆ dialogClosed

void KFind::dialogClosed ( )
signal

Emitted when the 'find next' dialog is being closed.

Some apps might want to remove the highlighted text when this happens. Apps without support for "Find Next" can also do m_find->deleteLater() to terminate the find operation.

◆ dialogsParent()

TQWidget * KFind::dialogsParent ( ) const
protected

Definition at line 702 of file kfind.cpp.

◆ displayFinalDialog()

void KFind::displayFinalDialog ( ) const
virtual

Displays the final dialog saying "no match was found", if that was the case.

Call either this or shouldRestart().

Reimplemented in KReplace.

Definition at line 619 of file kfind.cpp.

◆ find() [1/3]

KFind::Result KFind::find ( )

Walk the text fragment (e.g.

text-processor line, kspread cell) looking for matches. For each match, emits the highlight() signal and displays the find-again dialog proceeding.

Returns
Whether or not there has been a match.

Definition at line 221 of file kfind.cpp.

◆ find() [2/3]

int KFind::find ( const TQString &  text,
const TQRegExp &  pattern,
int  index,
long  options,
int *  matchedlength 
)
static

Search the given regular expression, and returns whether a match was found.

If one is, the length of the matched string is also returned.

Another version of the function is provided for use with strings.

Parameters
textThe string to search.
patternThe regular expression pattern to look for.
indexThe starting index into the string.
optionsThe options to use.
matchedlengthThe length of the string that was matched
Returns
The index at which a match was found, or -1 if no match was found.

Definition at line 525 of file kfind.cpp.

◆ find() [3/3]

int KFind::find ( const TQString &  text,
const TQString &  pattern,
int  index,
long  options,
int *  matchedlength 
)
static

Search the given string, and returns whether a match was found.

If one is, the length of the string matched is also returned.

A performance optimised version of the function is provided for use with regular expressions.

Parameters
textThe string to search.
patternThe pattern to look for.
indexThe starting index into the string.
optionsThe options to use.
matchedlengthThe length of the string that was matched
Returns
The index at which a match was found, or -1 if no match was found.

Definition at line 454 of file kfind.cpp.

◆ findNextDialog()

KDialogBase * KFind::findNextDialog ( bool  create = false)

Return (or create) the dialog that shows the "find next?" prompt.

Usually you don't need to call this. One case where it can be useful, is when the user selects the "Find" menu item while a find operation is under way. In that case, the program may want to call setActiveWindow() on that dialog.

Returns
The find next dialog.

Definition at line 210 of file kfind.cpp.

◆ highlight [1/2]

void KFind::highlight ( const TQString &  text,
int  matchingIndex,
int  matchedLength 
)
signal

Connect to this signal to implement highlighting of found text during the find operation.

If you've set data with setData(id, text), use the signal highlight(id, matchingIndex, matchedLength)

Warning
If you're using the FindIncremental option, the text argument passed by this signal is not necessarily the data last set through setData(), but can also be an earlier set data block.
Parameters
textThe found text.
matchingIndexThe index of the found text's occurrence.
matchedLengthThe length of the matched text.
See also
setData()

◆ highlight [2/2]

void KFind::highlight ( int  id,
int  matchingIndex,
int  matchedLength 
)
signal

Connect to this signal to implement highlighting of found text during the find operation.

Use this signal if you've set your data with setData(id, text), otherwise use the signal with highlight(text, matchingIndex, matchedLength).

Warning
If you're using the FindIncremental option, the id argument passed by this signal is not necessarily the id of the data last set through setData(), but can also be of an earlier set data block.
Parameters
idThe ID of the text fragment, as used in setData().
matchingIndexThe index of the found text's occurrence.
matchedLengthThe length of the matched text.
See also
setData()
Since
3.3

◆ index()

int KFind::index ( ) const
Returns
the current matching index ( or -1 ). Same as the matchingIndex parameter passed to highlight. You usually don't need to use this, except maybe when updating the current data, so you need to call setData( newData, index() ).
Since
3.2

Definition at line 688 of file kfind.cpp.

◆ needData()

bool KFind::needData ( ) const
Returns
true if the application must supply a new text fragment It also means the last call returned "NoMatch". But by storing this here the application doesn't have to store it in a member variable (between calls to slotFindNext()).

Definition at line 156 of file kfind.cpp.

◆ numMatches()

int KFind::numMatches ( ) const
inline

Return the number of matches found (i.e.

the number of times the highlight signal was emitted). If 0, can be used in a dialog box to tell the user "no match was found". The final dialog does so already, unless you used setDisplayFinalDialog(false).

Returns
The number of matches.

Definition at line 224 of file kfind.h.

◆ options()

long KFind::options ( ) const
inline

Return the current options.

Warning: this is usually the same value as the one passed to the constructor, but options might change during the replace operation: e.g. the "All" button resets the PromptOnReplace flag.

Returns
The current options.
See also
KFindDialog.

Definition at line 196 of file kfind.h.

◆ optionsChanged

void KFind::optionsChanged ( )
signal

Emitted when the options have changed.

This can happen e.g. with "Replace All", or if our 'find next' dialog gets a "find previous" one day.

◆ parentWidget()

TQWidget * KFind::parentWidget ( ) const
inlineprotected

Definition at line 392 of file kfind.h.

◆ pattern()

TQString KFind::pattern ( ) const
inline
Returns
the pattern we're currently looking for

Definition at line 209 of file kfind.h.

◆ resetCounts()

virtual void KFind::resetCounts ( )
inlinevirtual

Call this to reset the numMatches count (and the numReplacements count for a KReplace).

Can be useful if reusing the same KReplace for different operations, or when restarting from the beginning of the document.

Reimplemented in KReplace.

Definition at line 232 of file kfind.h.

◆ setData() [1/2]

void KFind::setData ( const TQString &  data,
int  startPos = -1 
)

Call this when needData returns true, before calling find().

Parameters
datathe text fragment (line)
startPosif set, the index at which the search should start. This is only necessary for the very first call to setData usually, for the 'find in selection' feature. A value of -1 (the default value) means "process all the data", i.e. either 0 or data.length()-1 depending on FindBackwards.

Definition at line 169 of file kfind.cpp.

◆ setData() [2/2]

void KFind::setData ( int  id,
const TQString &  data,
int  startPos = -1 
)

Call this when needData returns true, before calling find().

The use of ID's is especially useful if you're using the FindIncremental option.

Parameters
idthe id of the text fragment
datathe text fragment (line)
startPosif set, the index at which the search should start. This is only necessary for the very first call to setData usually, for the 'find in selection' feature. A value of -1 (the default value) means "process all the data", i.e. either 0 or data.length()-1 depending on FindBackwards.
Since
3.3

Definition at line 174 of file kfind.cpp.

◆ setOptions()

void KFind::setOptions ( long  options)
virtual

Set new options.

Usually this is used for setting or clearing the FindBackwards options.

See also
KFindDialog.

Definition at line 670 of file kfind.cpp.

◆ setPattern()

void KFind::setPattern ( const TQString &  pattern)

Change the pattern we're looking for.

Parameters
patternThe new pattern.

Definition at line 693 of file kfind.cpp.

◆ shouldRestart()

bool KFind::shouldRestart ( bool  forceAsking = false,
bool  showNumMatches = true 
) const
virtual

Returns true if we should restart the search from scratch.

Can ask the user, or return false (if we already searched the whole document).

Parameters
forceAskingset to true if the user modified the document during the search. In that case it makes sense to restart the search again.
showNumMatchesset to true if the dialog should show the number of matches. Set to false if the application provides a "find previous" action, in which case the match count will be erroneous when hitting the end, and we could even be hitting the beginning of the document (so not all matches have even been seen).
Returns
true, if the search should be restarted.

Reimplemented in KReplace.

Definition at line 629 of file kfind.cpp.

◆ slotDialogClosed

void KFind::slotDialogClosed ( )
protectedslot

Definition at line 613 of file kfind.cpp.

◆ slotFindNext

void KFind::slotFindNext ( )
protectedslot

Definition at line 608 of file kfind.cpp.

◆ validateMatch()

virtual bool KFind::validateMatch ( const TQString &  text,
int  index,
int  matchedlength 
)
inlinevirtual

Virtual method, which allows applications to add extra checks for validating a candidate match.

It's only necessary to reimplement this if the find dialog extension has been used to provide additional criterias.

Parameters
textThe current text fragment
indexThe starting index where the candidate match was found
matchedlengthThe length of the candidate match
