<div class="descr">
<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The QApplication class manages the GUI application's control flow and main settings.</p>
<p>QApplication contains the main event loop, where all events from the window system and other sources are processed and dispatched. It also handles the application's initialization, finalization, and provides session management. In addition, QApplication handles most of the system-wide and application-wide settings.</p>
<p>For any GUI application using Qt, there is precisely <b>one</b> QApplication object, no matter whether the application has 0, 1, 2 or more windows at any given time. For non-GUI Qt applications, use <a href="qcoreapplication.html">QCoreApplication</a> instead, as it does not depend on the <a href="qtgui.html">QtGui</a> library.</p>
<p>The QApplication object is accessible through the <a href="qcoreapplication.html#instance">instance</a>() function that returns a pointer equivalent to the global <a href="qapplication.html#qApp">qApp</a> pointer.</p>
<p>QApplication's main areas of responsibility are:</p>
<ul>
<li>It initializes the application with the user's desktop settings such as <a href="qapplication.html#palette">palette</a>(), <a href="qapplication.html#font">font</a>() and <a href="qapplication.html#doubleClickInterval-prop">doubleClickInterval</a>(). It keeps track of these properties in case the user changes the desktop globally, for example through some kind of control panel.</li>
<li>It performs event handling, meaning that it receives events from the underlying window system and dispatches them to the relevant widgets. By using <a href="qcoreapplication.html#sendEvent">sendEvent</a>() and <a href="qcoreapplication.html#postEvent">postEvent</a>() you can send your own events to widgets.</li>
<li>It parses common command line arguments and sets its internal state accordingly. See the <a href="qapplication.html#QApplication">constructor documentation</a> below for more details.</li>
<li>It defines the application's look and feel, which is encapsulated in a <a href="qstyle.html">QStyle</a> object. This can be changed at runtime with <a href="qapplication.html#setStyle">setStyle</a>().</li>
<li>It specifies how the application is to allocate colors. See <a href="qapplication.html#setColorSpec">setColorSpec</a>() for details.</li>
<li>It provides localization of strings that are visible to the user via <a href="qcoreapplication.html#translate">translate</a>().</li>
<li>It provides some magical objects like the <a href="qapplication.html#desktop">desktop</a>() and the <a href="qapplication.html#clipboard">clipboard</a>().</li>
<li>It knows about the application's windows. You can ask which widget is at a certain position using <a href="qapplication.html#widgetAt">widgetAt</a>(), get a list of <a href="qapplication.html#topLevelWidgets">topLevelWidgets</a>() and <a href="qapplication.html#closeAllWindows">closeAllWindows</a>(), etc.</li>
<li>It manages the application's mouse cursor handling, see <a href="qapplication.html#setOverrideCursor">setOverrideCursor</a>()</li>
<li>On the X window system, it provides functions to flush and sync the communication stream, see <a href="qapplication-qt3.html#flushX" class="compat">flushX</a>() and <a href="qapplication.html#syncX">syncX</a>().</li>
<li>It provides support for sophisticated <a href="session.html">session management</a>. This makes it possible for applications to terminate gracefully when the user logs out, to cancel a shutdown process if termination isn't possible and even to preserve the entire application's state for a future session. See <a href="qapplication.html#isSessionRestored">isSessionRestored</a>(), <a href="qapplication.html#sessionId">sessionId</a>() and <a href="qapplication.html#commitData">commitData</a>() and <a href="qapplication.html#saveState">saveState</a>() for details.</li>
</ul>
<p>Since the QApplication object does so much initialization, it <i>must</i> be created before any other objects related to the user interface are created. QApplication also deals with common command line arguments. Hence, it is usually a good idea to create it <i>before</i> any interpretation or modification of <tt>argv</tt> is done in the application itself.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="autoMaximizeThreshold-prop"></a><span class="name">autoMaximizeThreshold</span> : <span class="type">int</span></h3>
<p>This property defines a threshold for auto maximizing widgets.</p>
<p><b>The auto maximize threshold is only available as part of Qt for Windows CE.</b></p>
<p>This property defines a threshold for the size of a window as a percentage of the screen size. If the minimum size hint of a window exceeds the threshold, calling show() will cause the window to be maximized automatically.</p>
<p>Setting the threshold to 100 or greater means that the widget will always be maximized. Alternatively, setting the threshold to 50 means that the widget will be maximized only if the vertical minimum size hint is at least 50% of the vertical screen size.</p>
<p>Setting the threshold to -1 disables the feature.</p>
<p>On Windows CE the default is -1 (i.e., it is disabled). On Windows Mobile the default is 40.</p>
<p>This property was introduced in Qt 4.4.</p>

<p>Set this property to <tt>true</tt> to automatically display the SIP when entering widgets that accept keyboard input. This property only affects widgets with the WA_InputMethodEnabled attribute set, and is typically used to launch a virtual keyboard on devices which have very few or no keys.</p>
<p><b> The property only has an effect on platforms which use software input panels, such as Windows CE and Symbian.</b></p>

<p>This property holds the text cursor's flash (blink) time in milliseconds.</p>
<p>The flash time is the time required to display, invert and restore the caret display. Usually the text cursor is displayed for half the cursor flash time, then hidden for the same amount of time, but this may vary.</p>
<p>The default value on X11 is 1000 milliseconds. On Windows, the <b>Control Panel</b> value is used and setting this property sets the cursor flash time for all applications.</p>
<p>We recommend that widgets do not cache this value as it may change at any time if the user changes the global desktop settings.</p>

<p>This property holds the minimum size that any GUI element that the user can interact with should have.</p>
<p>For example, no button should be resized to be smaller than the global strut size. The strut size should be considered when reimplementing GUI controls that may be used on touch-screens or similar I/O devices.</p>
<p>Example:</p>

<p><b>Warning:</b> The data referred to by <i>argc</i> and <i>argv</i> must stay valid for the entire lifetime of the <a href="qapplication.html">QApplication</a> object. In addition, <i>argc</i> must be greater than zero and <i>argv</i> must contain at least one valid character string.</p>
<p>The global <tt>qApp</tt> pointer refers to this application object. Only one application object should be created.</p>
<p>This application object must be constructed before any <a href="qpaintdevice.html">paint devices</a> (including widgets, pixmaps, bitmaps etc.).</p>
<p><b>Note:</b> <i>argc</i> and <i>argv</i> might be changed as Qt removes command line arguments that it recognizes.</p>
<p>Qt debugging options (not available if Qt was compiled without the QT_DEBUG flag defined):</p>
<ul>
<li>-nograb, tells Qt that it must never grab the mouse or the keyboard.</li>
<li>-dograb (only under X11), running under a debugger can cause an implicit -nograb, use -dograb to override.</li>
<li>-sync (only under X11), switches to synchronous mode for debugging.</li>
</ul>
<p>See <a href="debug.html">Debugging Techniques</a> for a more detailed explanation.</p>
<p>All Qt programs automatically support the following command line options:</p>
<ul>
<li>-style= <i>style</i>, sets the application GUI style. Possible values are <tt>motif</tt>, <tt>windows</tt>, and <tt>platinum</tt>. If you compiled Qt with additional styles or have additional styles as plugins these will be available to the <tt>-style</tt> command line option.</li>
<li>-style <i>style</i>, is the same as listed above.</li>
<li>-stylesheet= <i>stylesheet</i>, sets the application <a href="qapplication.html#styleSheet-prop">styleSheet</a>. The value must be a path to a file that contains the Style Sheet. <b>Note:</b> Relative URLs in the Style Sheet file are relative to the Style Sheet file's path.</li>
<li>-stylesheet <i>stylesheet</i>, is the same as listed above.</li>
<li>-session= <i>session</i>, restores the application from an earlier <a href="session.html">session</a>.</li>
<li>-session <i>session</i>, is the same as listed above.</li>
<li>-widgetcount, prints debug message at the end about number of widgets left undestroyed and maximum number of widgets existed at the same time</li>
<li>-reverse, sets the application's layout direction to <a href="qt.html#LayoutDirection-enum">Qt::RightToLeft</a></li>
<li>-graphicssystem, sets the backend to be used for on-screen widgets and QPixmaps. Available options are <tt>raster</tt> and <tt>opengl</tt>.</li>
<li>-qmljsdebugger=, activates the QML/JS debugger with a specified port. The value must be of format port:1234[,block], where block is optional and will make the application wait until a debugger connects to it.</li>
</ul>
<p>The X11 version of Qt supports some traditional X11 command line options:</p>
<ul>
<li>-display <i>display</i>, sets the X display (default is $DISPLAY).</li>
<li>-geometry <i>geometry</i>, sets the client geometry of the first window that is shown.</li>
<li>-fn or <tt>-font</tt> <i>font</i>, defines the application font. The font should be specified using an X logical font description. Note that this option is ignored when Qt is built with fontconfig support enabled.</li>
<li>-bg or <tt>-background</tt> <i>color</i>, sets the default background color and an application palette (light and dark shades are calculated).</li>
<li>-fg or <tt>-foreground</tt> <i>color</i>, sets the default foreground color.</li>
<li>-btn or <tt>-button</tt> <i>color</i>, sets the default button color.</li>
<li>-name <i>name</i>, sets the application name.</li>
<li>-title <i>title</i>, sets the application title.</li>
<li>-visual <tt>TrueColor</tt>, forces the application to use a TrueColor visual on an 8-bit display.</li>
<li>-ncols <i>count</i>, limits the number of colors allocated in the color cube on an 8-bit display, if the application is using the <a href="qapplication.html#ColorSpec-enum">QApplication::ManyColor</a> color specification. If <i>count</i> is 216 then a 6x6x6 color cube is used (i.e. 6 levels of red, 6 of green, and 6 of blue); for other values, a cube approximately proportional to a 2x3x1 cube is used.</li>
<li>-cmap, causes the application to install a private color map on an 8-bit display.</li>
<li>-im, sets the input method server (equivalent to setting the XMODIFIERS environment variable)</li>
<li>-inputstyle, defines how the input is inserted into the given widget, e.g., <tt>onTheSpot</tt> makes the input appear directly in the widget, while <tt>overTheSpot</tt> makes the input appear in a box floating over the widget and is not inserted until the editing is done.</li>
</ul>

<p>It is necessary to call this function to start event handling. The main event loop receives events from the window system and dispatches these to the application widgets.</p>
<p>Generally, no user interaction can take place before calling exec(). As a special case, modal widgets like <a href="qmessagebox.html">QMessageBox</a> can be used before calling exec(), because modal widgets call exec() to start a local event loop.</p>
<p>To make your application perform idle processing, i.e., executing a special function whenever there are no pending events, use a <a href="qtimer.html">QTimer</a> with 0 timeout. More advanced idle processing schemes can be achieved using <a href="qcoreapplication.html#processEvents">processEvents</a>().</p>
<p>We recommend that you connect clean-up code to the <a href="qcoreapplication.html#aboutToQuit">aboutToQuit()</a> signal, instead of putting it in your application's <tt>main()</tt> function. This is because, on some platforms the QApplication::exec() call may not return. For example, on the Windows platform, when the user logs off, the system terminates the process after Qt closes all top-level windows. Hence, there is <i>no guarantee</i> that the application will have time to exit its event loop and execute code at the end of the <tt>main()</tt> function, after the QApplication::exec() call.</p>

<p>Sets the color specification for the application to <i>spec</i>.</p>
<p>The color specification controls how the application allocates colors when run on a display with a limited amount of colors, e.g. 8 bit / 256 color displays.</p>
<p>The color specification must be set before you create the <a href="qapplication.html">QApplication</a> object.</p>
<p>The options are:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="qapplication.html#ColorSpec-enum">QApplication::NormalColor</a>. This is the default color allocation strategy. Use this option if your application uses buttons, menus, texts and pixmaps with few colors. With this option, the application uses system global colors. This works fine for most applications under X11, but on the Windows platform, it may cause dithering of non-standard colors.</li>
<li><a href="qapplication.html#ColorSpec-enum">QApplication::CustomColor</a>. Use this option if your application needs a small number of custom colors. On X11, this option is the same as <a href="qapplication.html#ColorSpec-enum">NormalColor</a>. On Windows, Qt creates a Windows palette, and allocates colors to it on demand.</li>
<li><a href="qapplication.html#ColorSpec-enum">QApplication::ManyColor</a>. Use this option if your application is very color hungry, e.g., it requires thousands of colors. <br /> Under X11 the effect is:<ul>
<li>For 256-color displays which have at best a 256 color true color visual, the default visual is used, and colors are allocated from a color cube. The color cube is the 6x6x6 (216 color) "Web palette" (the red, green, and blue components always have one of the following values: 0x00, 0x33, 0x66, 0x99, 0xCC, or 0xFF), but the number of colors can be changed by the <i>-ncols</i> option. The user can force the application to use the true color visual with the <a href="qapplication.html#QApplication">-visual</a> option.</li>
<li>For 256-color displays which have a true color visual with more than 256 colors, use that visual. Silicon Graphics X servers this feature, for example. They provide an 8 bit visual by default but can deliver true color when asked.</li>
</ul>
<p>On Windows, Qt creates a Windows palette, and fills it with a color cube.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Be aware that the <a href="qapplication.html#ColorSpec-enum">CustomColor</a> and <a href="qapplication.html#ColorSpec-enum">ManyColor</a> choices may lead to colormap flashing: The foreground application gets (most) of the available colors, while the background windows will look less attractive.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="setStyle"></a><span class="type">void</span> QApplication::<span class="name">setStyle</span> ( <span class="type"><a href="qstyle.html">QStyle</a></span> * <i>style</i> )<tt> [static]</tt></h3>
<p>Sets the application's GUI style to <i>style</i>. Ownership of the style object is transferred to <a href="qapplication.html">QApplication</a>, so <a href="qapplication.html">QApplication</a> will delete the style object on application exit or when a new style is set and the old style is still the parent of the application object.</p>
<p>Example usage:</p>
<pre class="cpp"> <span class="type"><a href="qapplication.html">QApplication</a></span><span class="operator">::</span>setStyle(<span class="keyword">new</span> <span class="type"><a href="qwindowsstyle.html">QWindowsStyle</a></span>);</pre>
<p>When switching application styles, the color palette is set back to the initial colors or the system defaults. This is necessary since certain styles have to adapt the color palette to be fully style-guide compliant.</p>
<p>Setting the style before a palette has been set, i.e., before creating <a href="qapplication.html">QApplication</a>, will cause the application to use <a href="qstyle.html#standardPalette">QStyle::standardPalette</a>() for the palette.</p>
<p><b>Warning:</b> Qt style sheets are currently not supported for custom <a href="qstyle.html">QStyle</a> subclasses. We plan to address this in some future release.</p>

<p>This is an overloaded function.</p>
<p>Requests a <a href="qstyle.html">QStyle</a> object for <i>style</i> from the <a href="qstylefactory.html">QStyleFactory</a>.</p>
<p>The string must be one of the <a href="qstylefactory.html#keys">QStyleFactory::keys</a>(), typically one of "windows", "motif", "cde", "plastique", "windowsxp", or "macintosh". Style names are case insensitive.</p>
<p>Returns 0 if an unknown <i>style</i> is passed, otherwise the <a href="qstyle.html">QStyle</a> object returned is set as the application's GUI style.</p>
<p><b>Warning:</b> To ensure that the application's style is set correctly, it is best to call this function before the <a href="qapplication.html">QApplication</a> constructor, if possible.</p>
