Define a template +instance TQDict<X> to create a dictionary that operates on +pointers to X (X *). +<p> A dictionary is a collection of key-value pairs. The key is a +TQString used for insertion, removal and lookup. The value is a +pointer. Dictionaries provide very fast insertion and lookup. +<p> If you want to use non-Unicode, plain 8-bit <tt>char*</tt> keys, use the +<a href="ntqasciidict.html">TQAsciiDict</a> template. A TQDict has the same performance as a +TQAsciiDict. If you want to have a dictionary that maps TQStrings to +TQStrings use TQMap. +<p> The <a href="#size">size</a>() of the dictionary is very important. In order to get +good performance, you should use a suitably large <a href="primes.html#prime">prime</a> number. +Suitable means equal to or larger than the maximum expected number +of dictionary items. Size is set in the constructor but may be +changed with <a href="#resize">resize</a>(). +<p> Items are inserted with <a href="#insert">insert</a>(); 0 pointers cannot be inserted. +Items are removed with <a href="#remove">remove</a>(). All the items in a dictionary can +be removed with <a href="#clear">clear</a>(). The number of items in the dictionary is +returned by <a href="#count">count</a>(). If the dictionary contains no items <a href="#isEmpty">isEmpty</a>() +returns TRUE. You can change an item's value with <a href="#replace">replace</a>(). Items +are looked up with <a href="#operator[]">operator[]</a>(), or with <a href="#find">find</a>() which return a +pointer to the value or 0 if the given key does not exist. You can +take an item out of the dictionary with <a href="#take">take</a>(). +<p> Calling <a href="ntqptrcollection.html#setAutoDelete">setAutoDelete</a>(TRUE) for a dictionary tells it to delete +items that are removed. The default behaviour is not to delete +items when they are removed. +<p> When an item is inserted, the key is converted (hashed) to an +integer index into an internal hash array. This makes lookup very +fast. +<p> Items with equal keys are allowed. When inserting two items with +the same key, only the last inserted item will be accessible (last +in, first out) until it is removed. +<p> The <a href="qdictiterator.html">TQDictIterator</a> class can traverse the dictionary, but only in +an arbitrary order. Multiple iterators may independently traverse +the same dictionary. +<p> When inserting an item into a dictionary, only the pointer is +copied, not the item itself, i.e. a <a href="shclass.html#shallow-copy">shallow copy</a> is made. It is +possible to make the dictionary copy all of the item's data (a +<a href="shclass.html#deep-copy">deep copy</a>) when an item is inserted. <a href="#insert">insert</a>() calls the virtual +function <a href="ntqptrcollection.html#newItem">TQPtrCollection::newItem</a>() for the item to be inserted. +Inherit a dictionary and reimplement <a href="ntqptrcollection.html#newItem">newItem</a>() if you want deep +copies. +<p> When removing a dictionary item, the virtual function +<a href="ntqptrcollection.html#deleteItem">TQPtrCollection::deleteItem</a>() is called. TQDict's default +implementation is to delete the item if auto-deletion is enabled. +<p> Example #1: +<pre> + TQDict<TQLineEdit> fields; // TQString keys, TQLineEdit* values + fields.<a href="#insert">insert</a>( "forename", new <a href="ntqlineedit.html">TQLineEdit</a>( this ) ); + fields.<a href="#insert">insert</a>( "surname", new <a href="ntqlineedit.html">TQLineEdit</a>( this ) ); + + fields["forename"]->setText( "Homer" ); + fields["surname"]->setText( "Simpson" ); + + <a href="qdictiterator.html">TQDictIterator</a><TQLineEdit> it( fields ); // See TQDictIterator + for( ; it.<a href="qdictiterator.html#current">current</a>(); ++it ) + cout << it.<a href="qdictiterator.html#currentKey">currentKey</a>() << ": " << it.<a href="qdictiterator.html#current">current</a>()->text() << endl; + cout << endl; + + if ( fields["forename"] && fields["surname"] ) + cout << fields["forename"]->text() << " " + << fields["surname"]->text() << endl; // Prints "Homer Simpson" + + fields.<a href="#remove">remove</a>( "forename" ); // Does not delete the line edit + if ( ! fields["forename"] ) + cout << "forename is not in the dictionary" << endl; + </pre> + +In this example we use a dictionary to keep track of the line +edits we're using. We insert each line edit into the dictionary +with a unique name and then access the line edits via the +dictionary. +<p> Example #2: +<pre> + <a href="ntqstringlist.html">TQStringList</a> styleList = TQStyleFactory::styles(); + styleList.<a href="ntqstringlist.html#sort">sort</a>(); + TQDict<int> letterDict( 17, FALSE ); + for ( TQStringList::Iterator it = styleList.<a href="ntqvaluelist.html#begin">begin</a>(); it != styleList.<a href="ntqvaluelist.html#end">end</a>(); ++it ) { + <a href="ntqstring.html">TQString</a> styleName = *it; + <a href="ntqstring.html">TQString</a> styleAccel = styleName; + if ( letterDict[styleAccel.<a href="ntqstring.html#left">left</a>(1)] ) { + for ( uint i = 0; i < styleAccel.<a href="ntqstring.html#length">length</a>(); i++ ) { + if ( ! letterDict[styleAccel.<a href="ntqstring.html#mid">mid</a>( i, 1 )] ) { + styleAccel = styleAccel.<a href="ntqstring.html#insert">insert</a>( i, '&' ); + letterDict.<a href="#insert">insert</a>(styleAccel.<a href="ntqstring.html#mid">mid</a>( i, 1 ), (const int *)1); + break; + } + } + } else { + styleAccel = "&" + styleAccel; + letterDict.<a href="#insert">insert</a>(styleAccel.<a href="ntqstring.html#left">left</a>(1), (const int *)1); + } + (void) new <a href="ntqaction.html">TQAction</a>( styleName, TQIconSet(), styleAccel, parent ); + } + </pre> + +In the example we are using the dictionary to provide fast random +access to the keys, and we don't care what the values are. The +example is used to generate a menu of TQStyles, each with a unique +accelerator key (or no accelerator if there are no unused letters +left). +<p> We first obtain the list of available styles, then sort them so +that the menu items will be ordered alphabetically. Next we create +a dictionary of int pointers. The keys in the dictionary are each +one character long, representing letters that have been used for +accelerators. We iterate through our list of style names. If the +first letter of the style name is in the dictionary, i.e. has been +used, we iterate over all the characters in the style name to see +if we can find a letter that hasn't been used. If we find an +unused letter we put the accelerator ampersand (&) in front of it +and add that letter to the dictionary. If we can't find an unused +letter the style will simply have no accelerator. If the first +letter of the style name is not in the dictionary we use it for +the accelerator and add it to the dictionary. Finally we create a +<a href="ntqaction.html">TQAction</a> for each style. +<p> <p>See also <a href="qdictiterator.html">TQDictIterator</a>, <a href="ntqasciidict.html">TQAsciiDict</a>, <a href="ntqintdict.html">TQIntDict</a>, <a href="ntqptrdict.html">TQPtrDict</a>, <a href="collection.html">Collection Classes</a>, and <a href="tools.html">Non-GUI Classes</a>. + +<hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2> +<h3 class=fn><a name="TQDict"></a>TQDict::TQDict ( int size = 17, bool caseSensitive = TRUE ) +</h3> + +<p> Constructs a dictionary optimized for less than <em>size</em> entries. +<p> We recommend setting <em>size</em> to a suitably large <a href="primes.html#prime">prime</a> number +(e.g. a prime that's slightly larger than the expected number of +entries).
