Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QgsExpressionBuilderWidget::QgsExpressionBuilderWidget ( QWidget * parent = nullptr )

Create a new expression builder widget with an optional parent.

Definition at line 43 of file qgsexpressionbuilderwidget.cpp.

QgsExpressionBuilderWidget::~QgsExpressionBuilderWidget ( )

override

Definition at line 207 of file qgsexpressionbuilderwidget.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

void QgsExpressionBuilderWidget::autosave ( )

slot

Auto save the current Python function code.

Definition at line 1092 of file qgsexpressionbuilderwidget.cpp.

bool QgsExpressionBuilderWidget::evalError ( ) const

Will be set to true if the current expression text reported an eval error with the context.

Since: QGIS 3.0

Definition at line 839 of file qgsexpressionbuilderwidget.cpp.

void QgsExpressionBuilderWidget::evalErrorChanged ( )

signal

Will be set to true if the current expression text reported an eval error with the context.

Since: QGIS 3.0

QString QgsExpressionBuilderWidget::expectedOutputFormat ( )

The set expected format string.

This is pure text format and no expression validation is done against it.

Returns: The expected value format.

Definition at line 682 of file qgsexpressionbuilderwidget.cpp.

QgsExpressionContext QgsExpressionBuilderWidget::expressionContext ( ) const

inline

Returns the expression context for the widget.

The context is used for the expression preview result and for populating the list of available functions and variables.

See also: setExpressionContext

Since: QGIS 2.12

Definition at line 196 of file qgsexpressionbuilderwidget.h.

void QgsExpressionBuilderWidget::expressionParsed ( bool isValid )

signal

Emitted when the user changes the expression in the widget.

Users of this widget should connect to this signal to decide if to let the user continue.

Parameters

isValid Is true if the expression the user has typed is valid.

QString QgsExpressionBuilderWidget::expressionText ( )

Gets the expression string that has been set in the expression area.

Returns: The expression as a string.

Definition at line 672 of file qgsexpressionbuilderwidget.cpp.

bool QgsExpressionBuilderWidget::isExpressionValid ( )

Definition at line 532 of file qgsexpressionbuilderwidget.cpp.

void QgsExpressionBuilderWidget::loadAllValues ( )

slot

Load all unique values from the set layer into the sample area.

Definition at line 1070 of file qgsexpressionbuilderwidget.cpp.

void QgsExpressionBuilderWidget::loadCodeFromFile ( QString path )

Load code from the given file into the function editor.

Definition at line 374 of file qgsexpressionbuilderwidget.cpp.

void QgsExpressionBuilderWidget::loadFieldNames ( )

Loads all the field names from the layer.

Remarks: Should this really be public couldn't we just do this for the user?

Definition at line 403 of file qgsexpressionbuilderwidget.cpp.

void QgsExpressionBuilderWidget::loadFieldNames ( const QgsFields & fields )

Definition at line 414 of file qgsexpressionbuilderwidget.cpp.
