DESCRIPTION
The QHeader class provides a table header.
This class provides a table header as known from
spreadsheet-like widgets. QHeader can be used vertically
or horizontally (see setOrientation()).
With addLabel() you can add sections, and with
removeLabel() you can remove them. If you enabled clicking
for one or all sections (see setClickEnabled()), the user
can reorder the sections and click on them which may be
used for sorting (see also setSortIndicator()). This
feature is turned on by default.
So, if the user reorders the sections by clicking and
moving them with the mouse the index of a section may
change. This means, the section you inserted at the first
position might be displayed at a different index then. To
get the index at which e.g the first section is displayed,
use mapToIndex() with 0 as argument for our example.
If you want e.g. to know which section is displayed at
e.g. index 3 use mapToSection() with 3 as argument.
inserted them without caring about the index at which they
are displayed at the moment. Also the API of QHeader works
with the section numbers.

MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION
QHeader::QHeader ( QWidget * parent=0, const char * name=0 )
Constructs a horizontal header.
The parent and name arguments are sent to the QWidget
constructor.
QHeader::QHeader ( int n, QWidget * parent=0, const char * name=0
)
Constructs a horizontal header with n sections.
The parent and name arguments are sent to the QWidget
constructor.
QHeader::~QHeader ()
Destructs the header.
int QHeader::addLabel ( const QIconSet & iconset, const QString &
s, int size = -1 )
Adds a new section, with icon set iconset and label text
s. Returns the index. If size is non-negative, the section
width is set to size, otherwise a size currently
sufficient for the label is used.
int QHeader::addLabel ( const QString & s, int size = -1 )
Adds a new section, with label text s. Returns the index.
If size is non-negative, the section width is set to size,
otherwise a size currently sufficient for the label text
is used.
int QHeader::cellAt ( int pos ) const
This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old
source working, and will probably be removed in a future
version of Qt. We strongly advise against using it in new
code.
Use sectionAt() instead!
Returns the index at which the section is displayed, which
contains pos in widget coordinates, or -1 if pos is
outside the header sections.
This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old
source working, and will probably be removed in a future
version of Qt. We strongly advise against using it in new
code.
Use sectionPos() instead!
Returns the position in pixels of the section which is
displayed at the index i. The position is measured from
the start of the header.
int QHeader::cellSize ( int i ) const
This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old
source working, and will probably be removed in a future
version of Qt. We strongly advise against using it in new
code.
Use sectionSize() instead!
Returns the size in pixels of the section which is
displayed at the index i.
void QHeader::clicked ( int section ) [signal]

new index toIndex.
bool QHeader::isClickEnabled ( int section = -1 ) const
Returns whether the section section is clickable or not.
If section is out of range (negative or larger than

Returns TRUE if the sections of the header can be moved
around be the user, otherwise FALSE.
See also setMovingEnabled().

If section is out of range (negative or larger than
count() - 1), TRUE is returned if all sections are
resizeable, else FALSE.
See also setResizeEnabled().

Returns the text set on section section.
int QHeader::mapToActual ( int l ) const
This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old
source working, and will probably be removed in a future
version of Qt. We strongly advise against using it in new
code.

Translates from logical index l to actual index (index, at
which the section l is displayed) . Returns -1 if l is
outside the legal range.
See also mapToLogical().
int QHeader::mapToIndex ( int section ) const
Returns the index at which the section section is
currently displayed.
int QHeader::mapToLogical ( int a ) const

code.
Use clicked() instead!
This signal is emitted when a part of the header is
clicked. index is the index at which the section is
displayed.
In a list view, this signal would typically be connected
to a slot which sorts the specified column (or row).

Sets the size of the section section to s pixels.
Warning: does not repaint or send out signals.
void QHeader::setClickEnabled ( bool enable, int section = -1 )
[virtual]
Enable clicking in section section if enable is TRUE,
disable otherwise. If section is negative (as it is by
default), clicking is enabled/disabled for all current and
new sections.
If enabled, the clicked() signal is emitted when the user
clicks.
See also setMovingEnabled() and setResizeEnabled().
void QHeader::setLabel ( int section, const QIconSet & iconset,
const QString & s, int size = -1 ) [virtual]
Sets the icon on the section section to iconset and the
text to s. If the section does not exist, nothing happens.
If size is non-negative, the section width is set to size.
Any icon set that has been defined for this section
remains unchanged.
void QHeader::setLabel ( int section, const QString & s, int size
= -1 ) [virtual]
Sets the text on section section to s. If the section does
not exist, nothing happens. If size is non-negative, the
section width is set to size.
Any icon set that has been defined for this section
remains unchanged.
void QHeader::setMovingEnabled ( bool enable ) [virtual]
Enable the user to exchange sections if enable is TRUE,
disable otherwise.
emitted if the user moves a section.
See also setClickEnabled() and setResizeEnabled().
void QHeader::setOffset ( int x ) [virtual slot]
Scrolls the header such that x becomes the leftmost (or
uppermost for vertical headers) visible pixel.
void QHeader::setOrientation ( Orientation orientation )
[virtual]
Sets the header orientation. The orientation must be
QHeader::Vertical or QHeader::Horizontal.
When adding labels without the size parameter,
setOrientation should be called first, otherwise labels
will be sized incorrectly.
See also orientation().
void QHeader::setResizeEnabled ( bool enable, int section = -1 )
[virtual]
Enable user resizing of the section section if enable is
TRUE, disable otherwise. If section is negative (as it is
by default), resizing is enabled/disabled for all current
and new sections.
If the user resizes a section (because this feature
enabled it), a sizeChange() signal is emitted.
See also setMovingEnabled() and setClickEnabled().
void QHeader::setSortIndicator ( int section, bool increasing =
TRUE )
As often the QHeader is used together with a list widget,
QHeader can indicate a sort order. This is done using an
arrow at the right edge of a section which points up or
down. section specifies in which section this arrow should
be drawn, and increasing, if the arrow should point to the
bottom (TRUE) or the the top (FALSE). If section is -1, no
arrow is drawn.
See also QListView::setShowSortIndicator().
void QHeader::setTracking ( bool enable ) [virtual]
Sets tracking if enable is TRUE, otherwise turns off
tracking. If tracking is on, the sizeChange() signal is
emitted continuously while the mouse is moved, otherwise
it is only emitted when the mouse button is released.
See also tracking().
void QHeader::setUpdatesEnabled ( bool enable ) [virtual slot]
reimp.
void QHeader::showEvent ( QShowEvent * e ) [virtual protected]
Reimplemented for internal reasons; the API is not
affected.
Reimplemented from QWidget.
void QHeader::sizeChange ( int section, int oldSize, int newSize
) [signal]
This signal is emitted when the user has changed the size
of some of a section of the header from oldSize to
newSize. This signal is typically connected to a slot that
repaints the table.
QSize QHeader::sizeHint () const [virtual]
Reimplemented for internal reasons; the API is not
affected.
Reimplemented from QWidget.
QSizePolicy QHeader::sizePolicy () const [virtual]
Reimplemented for internal reasons; the API is not
affected.
Reimplemented from QWidget.
bool QHeader::tracking () const
Returns TRUE if tracking is on, FALSE otherwise.
See also setTracking().
