QSignalTransition Class Reference
^{[QtCore module]}

The QSignalTransition class provides a transition based on a Qt signal. More...

Inherits QAbstractTransition.

Methods

• __init__ (self, QState sourceState = None)
• __init__ (self, QObject sender, SIGNAL() signal, QState sourceState = None)
• __init__ (self, signal signal, QState sourceState = None)
• bool event (self, QEvent e)
• bool eventTest (self, QEvent event)
• onTransition (self, QEvent event)
• QObject senderObject (self)
• setSenderObject (self, QObject sender)
• setSignal (self, QByteArray signal)
• QByteArray signal (self)

Typically you would use the overload of QState.addTransition() that takes a sender and signal as arguments, rather than creating QSignalTransition objects directly. QSignalTransition is part of The State Machine Framework.

You can subclass QSignalTransition and reimplement eventTest() to make a signal transition conditional; the event object passed to eventTest() will be a QStateMachine.SignalEvent object. Example:

 class CheckedTransition : public QSignalTransition
 {
 public:
     CheckedTransition(QCheckBox *check)
         : QSignalTransition(check, SIGNAL(stateChanged(int))) {}
 protected:
     bool eventTest(QEvent *e) {
         if (!QSignalTransition.eventTest(e))
             return false;
         QStateMachine.SignalEvent *se = static_cast<QStateMachine.SignalEvent*>(e);
         return (se->arguments().at(0).toInt() == Qt.Checked);
     }
 };

 ...

 QCheckBox *check = new QCheckBox();
 check->setTristate(true);

 QState *s1 = new QState();
 QState *s2 = new QState();
 CheckedTransition *t1 = new CheckedTransition(check);
 t1->setTargetState(s2);
 s1->addTransition(t1);

Method Documentation

QSignalTransition.__init__ (self, QState sourceState = None)

The sourceState argument, if not None, causes self to be owned by Qt instead of PyQt.

Constructs a new signal transition with the given sourceState.

QSignalTransition.__init__ (self, QObject sender, SIGNAL() signal, QState sourceState = None)

The sourceState argument, if not None, causes self to be owned by Qt instead of PyQt.

Constructs a new signal transition associated with the given signal of the given sender, and with the given sourceState.

QSignalTransition.__init__ (self, signal signal, QState sourceState = None)

The sourceState argument, if not None, causes self to be owned by Qt instead of PyQt.

bool QSignalTransition.event (self, QEvent e)

Reimplemented from QObject.event().

bool QSignalTransition.eventTest (self, QEvent event)

Reimplemented from QAbstractTransition.eventTest().

The default implementation returns true if the event is a QStateMachine.SignalEvent object and the event's sender and signal index match this transition, and returns false otherwise.

QSignalTransition.onTransition (self, QEvent event)

Reimplemented from QAbstractTransition.onTransition().

QObject QSignalTransition.senderObject (self)

QSignalTransition.setSenderObject (self, QObject sender)

QSignalTransition.setSignal (self, QByteArray signal)

QByteArray QSignalTransition.signal (self)
