This works by associating SQL editor class names to the properties used to insert and extract values to/from the editor. <p> For example, a <a href="ntqlineedit.html">TQLineEdit</a> can be used to edit text strings and other data types in TQDataTables or TQSqlForms. Several properties are defined in TQLineEdit, but only the <em>text</em> property is used to insert and extract text from a TQLineEdit. Both <a href="ntqdatatable.html">TQDataTable</a> and <a href="ntqsqlform.html">TQSqlForm</a> use the global TQSqlPropertyMap for inserting and extracting values to and from an editor widget. The global property map defines several common widgets and properties that are suitable for many applications. You can add and remove widget properties to suit your specific needs. <p> If you want to use custom editors with your TQDataTable or TQSqlForm, you must install your own TQSqlPropertyMap for that table or form. Example: <p> <pre> TQSqlPropertyMap *myMap = new TQSqlPropertyMap(); <a href="ntqsqlform.html">TQSqlForm</a> *myForm = new <a href="ntqsqlform.html">TQSqlForm</a>( this ); MyEditor myEditor( this ); // Set the TQSqlForm's record buffer to the update buffer of // a pre-existing TQSqlCursor called 'cur'. myForm-><a href="ntqsqlform.html#setRecord">setRecord</a>( cur->primeUpdate() ); // Install the customized map myMap-><a href="#insert">insert</a>( "MyEditor", "content" ); myForm-><a href="ntqsqlform.html#installPropertyMap">installPropertyMap</a>( myMap ); // myForm now owns myMap ... // Insert a field into the form that uses a myEditor to edit the // field 'somefield' myForm-><a href="ntqsqlform.html#insert">insert</a>( &myEditor, "somefield" ); // Update myEditor with the value from the mapped database field myForm-><a href="ntqsqlform.html#readFields">readFields</a>(); ... // Let the user edit the form ... // Update the database fields with the values in the form myForm-><a href="ntqsqlform.html#writeFields">writeFields</a>(); ... </pre> <p> You can also replace the global TQSqlPropertyMap that is used by default. (Bear in mind that TQSqlPropertyMap takes ownership of the new default map.) <p> <pre> TQSqlPropertyMap *myMap = new TQSqlPropertyMap; myMap-><a href="#insert">insert</a>( "MyEditor", "content" ); TQSqlPropertyMap::<a href="#installDefaultMap">installDefaultMap</a>( myMap ); ... </pre> <p> <p>See also <a href="ntqdatatable.html">TQDataTable</a>, <a href="ntqsqlform.html">TQSqlForm</a>, <a href="ntqsqleditorfactory.html">TQSqlEditorFactory</a>, and <a href="database.html">Database Classes</a>. <hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2> <h3 class=fn><a name="TQSqlPropertyMap"></a>TQSqlPropertyMap::TQSqlPropertyMap () </h3> <p> Constructs a TQSqlPropertyMap. <p> The default property mappings used by TQt widgets are: <center><table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="2" border="0"> <tr bgcolor="#a2c511"> <th valign="top">Widgets <th valign="top">Property <tr bgcolor="#f0f0f0"> <td valign="top"><a href="ntqcheckbox.html">TQCheckBox</a>, <a href="ntqradiobutton.html">TQRadioButton</a> <td valign="top">checked <tr bgcolor="#d0d0d0"> <td valign="top"><a href="ntqcombobox.html">TQComboBox</a>, <a href="ntqlistbox.html">TQListBox</a> <td valign="top">currentItem <tr bgcolor="#f0f0f0"> <td valign="top"><a href="qdateedit.html">TQDateEdit</a> <td valign="top">date <tr bgcolor="#d0d0d0"> <td valign="top"><a href="ntqdatetimeedit.html">TQDateTimeEdit</a> <td valign="top">dateTime <tr bgcolor="#f0f0f0"> <td valign="top"><a href="ntqtextbrowser.html">TQTextBrowser</a> <td valign="top">source <tr bgcolor="#d0d0d0"> <td valign="top"><a href="ntqbutton.html">TQButton</a>, <a href="ntqdial.html">TQDial</a>, <a href="ntqlabel.html">TQLabel</a>, <a href="ntqlineedit.html">TQLineEdit</a>, <a href="ntqmultilineedit.html">TQMultiLineEdit</a>, <a href="ntqpushbutton.html">TQPushButton</a>, <a href="ntqtextedit.html">TQTextEdit</a>, <td valign="top">text <tr bgcolor="#f0f0f0"> <td valign="top"><a href="qtimeedit.html">TQTimeEdit</a> <td valign="top">time <tr bgcolor="#d0d0d0"> <td valign="top"><a href="ntqlcdnumber.html">TQLCDNumber</a>, <a href="ntqscrollbar.html">TQScrollBar</a> <a href="ntqslider.html">TQSlider</a>, <a href="ntqspinbox.html">TQSpinBox</a> <td valign="top">value </table></center> <h3 class=fn><a name="~TQSqlPropertyMap"></a>TQSqlPropertyMap::~TQSqlPropertyMap ()<tt> [virtual]</tt> </h3> Destroys the TQSqlPropertyMap. <p> Note that if the TQSqlPropertyMap is installed with installPropertyMap() the object it was installed into, e.g. the <a href="ntqsqlform.html">TQSqlForm</a>, takes ownership and will delete the TQSqlPropertyMap when necessary. <h3 class=fn><a href="ntqsqlpropertymap.html">TQSqlPropertyMap</a> * <a name="defaultMap"></a>TQSqlPropertyMap::defaultMap ()<tt> [static]</tt> </h3> Returns the application global TQSqlPropertyMap. <h3 class=fn>void <a name="insert"></a>TQSqlPropertyMap::insert ( const <a href="ntqstring.html">TQString</a> & classname, const <a href="ntqstring.html">TQString</a> & property ) </h3> Insert a new classname/property pair, which is used for custom SQL field editors.
