+ \example tools/treemodelcompleter
+ \title Tree Model Completer Example
+
+ The Tree Model Completer example shows how to provide completion
+ facilities for a hierarchical model, using a period as the separator
+ to access Child, GrandChild and GrandGrandChild level objects.
+
+ \image treemodelcompleter-example.png
+
+ Similar to the \l{Completer Example}, we provide QComboBox objects to
+ enable selection for completion mode and case sensitivity, as well as
+ a QCheckBox for wrap completions.
+
+ \section1 The Resource File
+
+ The contents of the TreeModelCompleter is read from \e treemodel.txt.
+ This file is embedded within the \e treemodelcompleter.qrc resource file,
+ which contains the following:
+
+ \quotefile examples/tools/treemodelcompleter/treemodelcompleter.qrc
+
+ \section1 TreeModelCompleter Class Definition
+
+ The \c TreeModelCompleter is a subclass of QCompleter with two
+ constructors - one with \a parent as an argument and another with
+ \a parent and \a model as arguments.
+
+ \snippet examples/tools/treemodelcompleter/treemodelcompleter.h 0
+
+ The class reimplements the protected functions
+ \l{QCompleter::splitPath()}{splitPath()} and
+ \l{QCompleter::pathFromIndex()}{pathFromIndex()} to suit a tree model.
+ For more information on customizing QCompleter to suit tree models, refer
+ to \l{QCompleter#Handling Tree Models}{Handling Tree Models}.
+
+ \c TreeModelCompleter also has a separator property which is declared
+ using the Q_PROPERTY() macro. The separator has READ and WRITE attributes
+ and the corresponding functions \c separator() and \c setSeparator(). For
+ more information on Q_PROPERTY(), refer to \l{Qt's Property System}.
+
+ \section1 TreeModelCompleter Class Implementation
+
+ The first constructor constructs a \c TreeModelCompleter object with a
+ parent while the second constructor constructs an object with a parent
+ and a QAbstractItemModel, \a model.
+
+ \snippet examples/tools/treemodelcompleter/treemodelcompleter.cpp 0
+ \codeline
+ \snippet examples/tools/treemodelcompleter/treemodelcompleter.cpp 1
+
+ The \c separator() function is a getter function that returns the
+ separator string.
+
+ \snippet examples/tools/treemodelcompleter/treemodelcompleter.cpp 2
+
+ As mentioned earlier, the \c splitPath() function is reimplemented because
+ the default implementation is more suited to QDirModel or list models. In
+ order for QCompleter to split the path into a list of strings that are
+ matched at each level, we split it using QString::split() with \c sep as its
+ separator.
+
+ \snippet examples/tools/treemodelcompleter/treemodelcompleter.cpp 3
+
+ The \c pathFromIndex() function returns data for the completionRole() for a
+ tree model. This function is reimplemented as its default implementation is
+ more suitable for list models. If there is no separator, we use
+ \l{QCompleter}'s default implementation, otherwise we use the
+ \l{QStringList::prepend()}{prepend()} function to navigate upwards and
+ accumulate the data. The function then returns a QStringList, \c dataList,
+ using a separator to join objects of different levels.
+
+ \snippet examples/tools/treemodelcompleter/treemodelcompleter.cpp 4
+
+ \section1 MainWindow Class Definition
+
+ The \c MainWindow class is a subclass of QMainWindow and implements five
+ custom slots: \c about(), \c changeCase(), \c changeMode(),
+ \c highlight(), and \c updateContentsLabel().
+
+ \snippet examples/tools/treemodelcompleter/mainwindow.h 0
+
+ In addition, the class has two private functions, \c createMenu() and
+ \c modelFromFile(), as well as private instances of QTreeView, QComboBox,
+ QLabel, \c TreeModelCompleter and QLineEdit.
+
+ \snippet examples/tools/treemodelcompleter/mainwindow.h 1
+
+ \section1 MainWindow Class Implementation
+
+ The \c{MainWindow}'s constructor creates a \c MainWindow object with a
+ parent and initializes the \c completer and \c lineEdit. The
+ \c createMenu() function is invoked to set up the "File" menu and "Help"
+ menu. The \c{completer}'s model is set to the QAbstractItemModel obtained
+ from \c modelFromFile(), and the \l{QCompleter::highlighted()}
+ {highlighted()} signal is connected to \c{MainWindow}'s \c highlight()
+ slot.
+
+ \snippet examples/tools/treemodelcompleter/mainwindow.cpp 0
+
+ The QLabel objects \c modelLabel, \c modeLabel and \c caseLabel are
+ instantiated. Also, the QComboBox objects, \c modeCombo and \c caseCombo,
+ are instantiated and populated. By default, the \c{completer}'s mode is
+ "Filtered Popup" and the case is insensitive.
+
+ \snippet examples/tools/treemodelcompleter/mainwindow.cpp 1
+ \codeline
+ \snippet examples/tools/treemodelcompleter/mainwindow.cpp 2
+
+ We use a QGridLayout to place all the objects in the \c MainWindow.
+
+ \snippet examples/tools/treemodelcompleter/mainwindow.cpp 3
+
+ The \c createMenu() function sets up the QAction objects required and
+ adds them to the "File" menu and "Help" menu. The
+ \l{QAction::triggered()}{triggered()} signals from these actions are
+ connected to their respective slots.
+
+ \snippet examples/tools/treemodelcompleter/mainwindow.cpp 4
+
+ The \c changeMode() function accepts an \a index corresponding to the
+ user's choice of completion mode and changes the \c{completer}'s mode
+ accordingly.
+
+ \snippet examples/tools/treemodelcompleter/mainwindow.cpp 5
+
+ The \c about() function provides a brief description on the Tree Model
+ Completer example.
+
+ \snippet examples/tools/treemodelcompleter/mainwindow.cpp 6
+
+ The \c changeCase() function alternates between \l{Qt::CaseSensitive}
+ {Case Sensitive} and \l{Qt::CaseInsensitive}{Case Insensitive} modes,
+ depending on the value of \a cs.
+
+ \snippet examples/tools/treemodelcompleter/mainwindow.cpp 7
+
+ \section1 \c main() Function
+
+ The \c main() function instantiates \c MainWindow and invokes the
+ \l{QWidget::show()}{show()} function to display it.

+ \snippet examples/tools/treemodelcompleter/main.cpp 0
