<!-- $$$QFrame-description -->
<div class="descr">
<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The QFrame class is the base class of widgets that can have a frame.</p>
<p><a href="qmenu.html">QMenu</a> uses this to "raise" the menu above the surrounding screen. <a href="qprogressbar.html">QProgressBar</a> has a "sunken" look. <a href="qlabel.html">QLabel</a> has a flat look. The frames of widgets like these can be changed.</p>
<pre class="cpp"> <span class="type"><a href="qlabel.html">QLabel</a></span> label(<span class="operator">.</span><span class="operator">.</span><span class="operator">.</span>);
label<span class="operator">.</span><a href="qframe.html#setFrameStyle">setFrameStyle</a>(<span class="type">QFrame</span><span class="operator">::</span>Panel <span class="operator">|</span> <span class="type">QFrame</span><span class="operator">::</span>Raised);
label<span class="operator">.</span><a href="qframe.html#lineWidth-prop">setLineWidth</a>(<span class="number">2</span>);
<span class="type"><a href="qprogressbar.html">QProgressBar</a></span> pbar(<span class="operator">.</span><span class="operator">.</span><span class="operator">.</span>);
label<span class="operator">.</span><a href="qframe.html#setFrameStyle">setFrameStyle</a>(<span class="type">QFrame</span><span class="operator">::</span>NoFrame);</pre>
<p>The QFrame class can also be used directly for creating simple placeholder frames without any contents.</p>
<p>The frame style is specified by a <a href="qframe.html#Shape-enum">frame shape</a> and a <a href="qframe.html#Shadow-enum">shadow style</a> that is used to visually separate the frame from surrounding widgets. These properties can be set together using the <a href="qframe.html#setFrameStyle">setFrameStyle</a>() function and read with <a href="qframe.html#frameStyle">frameStyle</a>().</p>
<p>The frame shapes are <a href="qframe.html#Shape-enum">NoFrame</a>, <a href="qframe.html#Shape-enum">Box</a>, <a href="qframe.html#Shape-enum">Panel</a>, <a href="qframe.html#Shape-enum">StyledPanel</a>, <a href="qframe.html#Shape-enum">HLine</a> and <a href="qframe.html#Shape-enum">VLine</a>; the shadow styles are <a href="qframe.html#Shadow-enum">Plain</a>, <a href="qframe.html#Shadow-enum">Raised</a> and <a href="qframe.html#Shadow-enum">Sunken</a>.</p>
<p>A frame widget has three attributes that describe the thickness of the border: <a href="qframe.html#lineWidth-prop">lineWidth</a>, <a href="qframe.html#midLineWidth-prop">midLineWidth</a>, and <a href="qframe.html#frameWidth-prop">frameWidth</a>.</p>
<ul>
<li>The line width is the width of the frame border. It can be modified to customize the frame's appearance.</li>
<li>The mid-line width specifies the width of an extra line in the middle of the frame, which uses a third color to obtain a special 3D effect. Notice that a mid-line is only drawn for <a href="qframe.html#Shape-enum">Box</a>, <a href="qframe.html#Shape-enum">HLine</a> and <a href="qframe.html#Shape-enum">VLine</a> frames that are raised or sunken.</li>
<li>The frame width is determined by the frame style, and the <a href="qframe.html#frameWidth-prop">frameWidth</a>() function is used to obtain the value defined for the style used.</li>
</ul>
<p>The margin between the frame and the contents of the frame can be customized with the <a href="qwidget.html#setContentsMargins">QWidget::setContentsMargins</a>() function.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="frameRect-prop"></a><span class="name">frameRect</span> : <span class="type"><a href="qrect.html">QRect</a></span></h3>
<p>This property holds the frame's rectangle.</p>
<p>The frame's rectangle is the rectangle the frame is drawn in. By default, this is the entire widget. Setting the rectangle does does <i>not</i> cause a widget update. The frame rectangle is automatically adjusted when the widget changes size.</p>
<p>If you set the rectangle to a null rectangle (for example, <a href="qrect.html">QRect</a>(0, 0, 0, 0)), then the resulting frame rectangle is equivalent to the <a href="qwidget.html#rect-prop">widget rectangle</a>.</p>

<p>This property holds the width of the frame that is drawn.</p>
<p>Note that the frame width depends on the <a href="qframe.html#setFrameStyle">frame style</a>, not only the line width and the mid-line width. For example, the style specified by <a href="qframe.html#Shape-enum">NoFrame</a> always has a frame width of 0, whereas the style <a href="qframe.html#Shape-enum">Panel</a> has a frame width equivalent to the line width.</p>
