<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>autoMaximizeThreshold : int</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>This property holds toggles automatic SIP (software input panel) visibility.</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>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="cursorFlashTime-prop"></a>cursorFlashTime : int</h3>
<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>If you support drag and drop in your application, and want to start a drag and drop operation after the user has moved the cursor a certain distance with a button held down, you should use this property's value as the minimum distance required.</p>
<p>For example, if the mouse position of the click is stored in <tt>startPos</tt> and the current position (e.g. in the mouse move event) is <tt>currentPos</tt>, you can find out if a drag should be started with code like this:</p>

<p>If you support drag and drop in your application, and want to start a drag and drop operation after the user has held down a mouse button for a certain amount of time, you should use this property's value as the delay.</p>
<p>Qt also uses this delay internally, e.g. in <a href="qtextedit.html">QTextEdit</a> and <a href="qlineedit.html">QLineEdit</a>, for starting a drag.</p>
<p>The default value is 500 ms.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="QApplication"></a>QApplication::QApplication ( int & <i>argc</i>, char ** <i>argv</i> )</h3>
<p>Initializes the window system and constructs an application object with <i>argc</i> command line arguments in <i>argv</i>.</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>
</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.</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>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="QApplication-2"></a>QApplication::QApplication ( int & <i>argc</i>, char ** <i>argv</i>, bool <i>GUIenabled</i> )</h3>
<p>Constructs an application object with <i>argc</i> command line arguments in <i>argv</i>. If <i>GUIenabled</i> is true, a GUI application is constructed, otherwise a non-GUI (console) application is created.</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>Set <i>GUIenabled</i> to false for programs without a graphical user interface that should be able to run without a window system.</p>
<p>On X11, the window system is initialized if <i>GUIenabled</i> is true. If <i>GUIenabled</i> is false, the application does not connect to the X server. On Windows and Mac OS, currently the window system is always initialized, regardless of the value of GUIenabled. This may change in future versions of Qt.</p>
<p>The following example shows how to create an application that uses a graphical interface when available.</p>
<pre> int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
#ifdef Q_WS_X11
bool useGUI = getenv("DISPLAY") != 0;
#else
bool useGUI = true;
#endif
QApplication app(argc, argv, useGUI);

<a name="//apple_ref/cpp/clm/QApplication/aboutQt"></a>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="aboutQt"></a>void QApplication::aboutQt () <tt> [static slot]</tt></h3>
<p>Displays a simple message box about Qt. The message includes the version number of Qt being used by the application.</p>
<p>This is useful for inclusion in the <b>Help</b> menu of an application, as shown in the <a href="mainwindows-menus.html">Menus</a> example.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="activeModalWidget"></a><a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a> * QApplication::activeModalWidget () <tt> [static]</tt></h3>
<p>Returns the active modal widget.</p>
<p>A modal widget is a special top-level widget which is a subclass of <a href="qdialog.html">QDialog</a> that specifies the modal parameter of the constructor as true. A modal widget must be closed before the user can continue with other parts of the program.</p>
<p>Modal widgets are organized in a stack. This function returns the active modal widget at the top of the stack.</p>
<p>See also <a href="qapplication.html#activePopupWidget">activePopupWidget</a>() and <a href="qapplication.html#topLevelWidgets">topLevelWidgets</a>().</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="activePopupWidget"></a><a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a> * QApplication::activePopupWidget () <tt> [static]</tt></h3>
<p>Returns the active popup widget.</p>
<p>A popup widget is a special top-level widget that sets the <tt>Qt::WType_Popup</tt> widget flag, e.g. the <a href="qmenu.html">QMenu</a> widget. When the application opens a popup widget, all events are sent to the popup. Normal widgets and modal widgets cannot be accessed before the popup widget is closed.</p>
<p>Only other popup widgets may be opened when a popup widget is shown. The popup widgets are organized in a stack. This function returns the active popup widget at the top of the stack.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="activeWindow"></a><a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a> * QApplication::activeWindow () <tt> [static]</tt></h3>
<p>Returns the application top-level window that has the keyboard input focus, or 0 if no application window has the focus. There might be an activeWindow() even if there is no <a href="qapplication.html#focusWidget">focusWidget</a>(), for example if no widget in that window accepts key events.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="alert"></a>void QApplication::alert ( <a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a> * <i>widget</i>, int <i>msec</i> = 0 ) <tt> [static]</tt></h3>
<p>Causes an alert to be shown for <i>widget</i> if the window is not the active window. The alert is shown for <i>msec</i> miliseconds. If <i>msec</i> is zero (the default), then the alert is shown indefinitely until the window becomes active again.</p>
<p>Currently this function does nothing on Qt for Embedded Linux.</p>
<p>On Mac OS X, this works more at the application level and will cause the application icon to bounce in the dock.</p>
<p>On Windows, this causes the window's taskbar entry to flash for a time. If <i>msec</i> is zero, the flashing will stop and the taskbar entry will turn a different color (currently orange).</p>
<p>On X11, this will cause the window to be marked as "demands attention", the window must not be hidden (i.e. not have hide() called on it, but be visible in some sort of way) in order for this to work.</p>
<p>This function was introduced in Qt 4.3.</p>

<a name="//apple_ref/cpp/clm/QApplication/closeAllWindows"></a>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="closeAllWindows"></a>void QApplication::closeAllWindows () <tt> [static slot]</tt></h3>
<p>Closes all top-level windows.</p>
<p>This function is particularly useful for applications with many top-level windows. It could, for example, be connected to a <b>Exit</b> entry in the <b>File</b> menu:</p>
<pre> exitAct = new QAction(tr("E&xit"), this);
exitAct->setShortcuts(QKeySequence::Quit);
exitAct->setStatusTip(tr("Exit the application"));
connect(exitAct, SIGNAL(triggered()), qApp, SLOT(closeAllWindows()));</pre>
<p>The windows are closed in random order, until one window does not accept the close event. The application quits when the last window was successfully closed; this can be turned off by setting <a href="qapplication.html#quitOnLastWindowClosed-prop">quitOnLastWindowClosed</a> to false.</p>
<p>See also <a href="qapplication.html#quitOnLastWindowClosed-prop">quitOnLastWindowClosed</a>, <a href="qapplication.html#lastWindowClosed">lastWindowClosed</a>(), <a href="qwidget.html#close">QWidget::close</a>(), <a href="qwidget.html#closeEvent">QWidget::closeEvent</a>(), <a href="qapplication.html#lastWindowClosed">lastWindowClosed</a>(), <a href="qcoreapplication.html#quit">quit</a>(), <a href="qapplication.html#topLevelWidgets">topLevelWidgets</a>(), and <a href="qwidget.html#isWindow">QWidget::isWindow</a>().</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="commitData"></a>void QApplication::commitData ( <a href="qsessionmanager.html">QSessionManager</a> & <i>manager</i> ) <tt> [virtual]</tt></h3>
<p>This function deals with <a href="session.html">session management</a>. It is invoked when the <a href="qsessionmanager.html">QSessionManager</a> wants the application to commit all its data.</p>
<p>Usually this means saving all open files, after getting permission from the user. Furthermore you may want to provide a means by which the user can cancel the shutdown.</p>
<p>You should not exit the application within this function. Instead, the session manager may or may not do this afterwards, depending on the context.</p>
<p><b>Warning:</b> Within this function, no user interaction is possible, <i>unless</i> you ask the <i>manager</i> for explicit permission.

<p>This signal deals with <a href="session.html">session management</a>. It is emitted when the <a href="qsessionmanager.html">QSessionManager</a> wants the application to commit all its data.</p>
<p>Usually this means saving all open files, after getting permission from the user. Furthermore you may want to provide a means by which the user can cancel the shutdown.</p>
<p>You should not exit the application within this signal. Instead, the session manager may or may not do this afterwards, depending on the context.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="desktop"></a><a href="qdesktopwidget.html">QDesktopWidget</a> * QApplication::desktop () <tt> [static]</tt></h3>
<p>Returns the desktop widget (also called the root window).</p>
<p>The desktop may be composed of multiple screens, so it would be incorrect, for example, to attempt to <i>center</i> some widget in the desktop's geometry. <a href="qdesktopwidget.html">QDesktopWidget</a> has various functions for obtaining useful geometries upon the desktop, such as <a href="qdesktopwidget.html#screenGeometry">QDesktopWidget::screenGeometry</a>() and <a href="qdesktopwidget.html#availableGeometry">QDesktopWidget::availableGeometry</a>().</p>
<p>On X11, it is also possible to draw on the desktop.</p>
<a name="//apple_ref/cpp/clm/QApplication/desktopSettingsAware"></a>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="desktopSettingsAware"></a>bool QApplication::desktopSettingsAware () <tt> [static]</tt></h3>
<p>Returns true if Qt is set to use the system's standard colors, fonts, etc.; otherwise returns false. The default is true.</p>
<p>See also <a href="qapplication.html#setDesktopSettingsAware">setDesktopSettingsAware</a>().</p>

<a name="//apple_ref/cpp/clm/QApplication/exec"></a>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="exec"></a>int QApplication::exec () <tt> [static]</tt></h3>
<p>Enters the main event loop and waits until <a href="qcoreapplication.html#exit">exit</a>() is called, then returns the value that was set to <a href="qcoreapplication.html#exit">exit</a>() (which is 0 if <a href="qcoreapplication.html#exit">exit</a>() is called via <a href="qcoreapplication.html#quit">quit</a>()).</p>
<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>

<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>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre> int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication::setColorSpec(QApplication::ManyColor);
QApplication app(argc, argv);
...
return app.exec();
}</pre>
<p>See also <a href="qapplication.html#colorSpec">colorSpec</a>().</p>
<a name="//apple_ref/cpp/clm/QApplication/setDesktopSettingsAware"></a>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="setDesktopSettingsAware"></a>void QApplication::setDesktopSettingsAware ( bool <i>on</i> ) <tt> [static]</tt></h3>
<p>Sets whether Qt should use the system's standard colors, fonts, etc., to <i>on</i>. By default, this is true.</p>
<p>This function must be called before creating the <a href="qapplication.html">QApplication</a> object, like this:</p>
<pre> int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication::setDesktopSettingsAware(false);
QApplication app(argc, argv);
...
return app.exec();
}</pre>
<p>See also <a href="qapplication.html#desktopSettingsAware">desktopSettingsAware</a>().</p>

<p>Enables the UI effect <i>effect</i> if <i>enable</i> is true, otherwise the effect will not be used.</p>
<p><b>Note:</b> All effects are disabled on screens running at less than 16-bit color depth.</p>
<p>See also <a href="qapplication.html#isEffectEnabled">isEffectEnabled</a>(), <a href="qt.html#UIEffect-enum">Qt::UIEffect</a>, and <a href="qapplication.html#setDesktopSettingsAware">setDesktopSettingsAware</a>().</p>
<a name="//apple_ref/cpp/clm/QApplication/setFont"></a>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="setFont"></a>void QApplication::setFont ( const <a href="qfont.html">QFont</a> & <i>font</i>, const char * <i>className</i> = 0 ) <tt> [static]</tt></h3>
<p>Changes the default application font to <i>font</i>. If <i>className</i> is passed, the change applies only to classes that inherit <i>className</i> (as reported by <a href="qobject.html#inherits">QObject::inherits</a>()).</p>
<p>On application start-up, the default font depends on the window system. It can vary depending on both the window system version and the locale. This function lets you override the default font; but overriding may be a bad idea because, for example, some locales need extra large fonts to support their special characters.</p>
<p><b>Warning:</b> Do not use this function in conjunction with <a href="stylesheet.html">Qt Style Sheets</a>. The font of an application can be customized using the "font" style sheet property. To set a bold font for all QPushButtons, set the application <a href="qapplication.html#styleSheet-prop">styleSheet</a>() as "<a href="qpushbutton.html">QPushButton</a> { font: bold }"</p>
<p>See also <a href="qapplication.html#font">font</a>(), <a href="qapplication.html#fontMetrics">fontMetrics</a>(), and <a href="qwidget.html#font-prop">QWidget::setFont</a>().</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="setGraphicsSystem"></a>void QApplication::setGraphicsSystem ( const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & <i>system</i> ) <tt> [static]</tt></h3>
<p>Sets the default graphics backend to <i>system</i>, which will be used for on-screen widgets and QPixmaps. The available systems are <tt>"native"</tt>, <tt>"raster"</tt> and <tt>"opengl"</tt>.</p>
<p>This function call overrides both the application commandline <tt>-graphicssystem</tt> switch and the configure <tt>-graphicssystem</tt> switch.</p>
<p><b>Warning:</b> This function must be called before the <a href="qapplication.html">QApplication</a> constructor is called.</p>
<p><b>Note:</b> The <tt>"opengl"</tt> option is currently experimental.</p>
<p>This function was introduced in Qt 4.5.</p>
<a name="//apple_ref/cpp/instm/QApplication/setInputContext"></a>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="setInputContext"></a>void QApplication::setInputContext ( <a href="qinputcontext.html">QInputContext</a> * <i>inputContext</i> )</h3>
<p>This function replaces the <a href="qinputcontext.html">QInputContext</a> instance used by the application with <i>inputContext</i>.</p>
<p>See also <a href="qapplication.html#inputContext">inputContext</a>().</p>
<a name="//apple_ref/cpp/clm/QApplication/setNavigationMode"></a>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="setNavigationMode"></a>void QApplication::setNavigationMode ( <a href="qt.html#NavigationMode-enum">Qt::NavigationMode</a> <i>mode</i> ) <tt> [static]</tt></h3>
<p>Sets the kind of focus navigation Qt should use to <i>mode</i>.</p>
<p>This feature is available in Qt for Embedded Linux, Symbian and Windows CE only.</p>
<p><b>Note:</b> On Windows CE this feature is disabled by default for touch device mkspecs. To enable keypad navigation, build Qt with QT_KEYPAD_NAVIGATION defined.</p>
<p><b>Note:</b> On Symbian, setting the mode to <a href="qt.html#NavigationMode-enum">Qt::NavigationModeCursorAuto</a> will enable a virtual mouse cursor on non touchscreen devices, which is controlled by the cursor keys if there is no analog pointer device. On other platforms and on touchscreen devices, it has the same meaning as <a href="qt.html#NavigationMode-enum">Qt::NavigationModeNone</a>.</p>
<p>This function was introduced in Qt 4.6.</p>
<p>See also <a href="qapplication.html#navigationMode">navigationMode</a>() and <a href="qapplication.html#keypadNavigationEnabled">keypadNavigationEnabled</a>().</p>
<a name="//apple_ref/cpp/clm/QApplication/setOverrideCursor"></a>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="setOverrideCursor"></a>void QApplication::setOverrideCursor ( const <a href="qcursor.html">QCursor</a> & <i>cursor</i> ) <tt> [static]</tt></h3>
<p>Sets the application override cursor to <i>cursor</i>.</p>
<p>Application override cursors are intended for showing the user that the application is in a special state, for example during an operation that might take some time.</p>
<p>This cursor will be displayed in all the application's widgets until <a href="qapplication.html#restoreOverrideCursor">restoreOverrideCursor</a>() or another setOverrideCursor() is called.</p>
<p>Application cursors are stored on an internal stack. setOverrideCursor() pushes the cursor onto the stack, and <a href="qapplication.html#restoreOverrideCursor">restoreOverrideCursor</a>() pops the active cursor off the stack. <a href="qapplication.html#changeOverrideCursor">changeOverrideCursor</a>() changes the curently active application override cursor.</p>
<p>Every setOverrideCursor() must eventually be followed by a corresponding <a href="qapplication.html#restoreOverrideCursor">restoreOverrideCursor</a>(), otherwise the stack will never be emptied.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre> QApplication::setOverrideCursor(QCursor(Qt::WaitCursor));
calculateHugeMandelbrot(); <span class="comment">// lunch time...</span>
QApplication::restoreOverrideCursor();</pre>
<p>See also <a href="qapplication.html#overrideCursor">overrideCursor</a>(), <a href="qapplication.html#restoreOverrideCursor">restoreOverrideCursor</a>(), <a href="qapplication.html#changeOverrideCursor">changeOverrideCursor</a>(), and <a href="qwidget.html#cursor-prop">QWidget::setCursor</a>().</p>
<a name="//apple_ref/cpp/clm/QApplication/setPalette"></a>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="setPalette"></a>void QApplication::setPalette ( const <a href="qpalette.html">QPalette</a> & <i>palette</i>, const char * <i>className</i> = 0 ) <tt> [static]</tt></h3>
<p>Changes the default application palette to <i>palette</i>.</p>
<p>If <i>className</i> is passed, the change applies only to widgets that inherit <i>className</i> (as reported by <a href="qobject.html#inherits">QObject::inherits</a>()). If <i>className</i> is left 0, the change affects all widgets, thus overriding any previously set class specific palettes.</p>
<p>The palette may be changed according to the current GUI style in <a href="qstyle.html#polish">QStyle::polish</a>().</p>
<p><b>Warning:</b> Do not use this function in conjunction with <a href="stylesheet.html">Qt Style Sheets</a>. When using style sheets, the palette of a widget can be customized using the "color", "background-color", "selection-color", "selection-background-color" and "alternate-background-color".</p>
<p><b>Note:</b> Some styles do not use the palette for all drawing, for instance, if they make use of native theme engines. This is the case for the Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Mac OS X styles.</p>
<p>See also <a href="qwidget.html#palette-prop">QWidget::setPalette</a>(), <a href="qapplication.html#palette">palette</a>(), and <a href="qstyle.html#polish">QStyle::polish</a>().</p>
<a name="//apple_ref/cpp/clm/QApplication/setStyle"></a>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="setStyle"></a>void QApplication::setStyle ( <a href="qstyle.html">QStyle</a> * <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> QApplication::setStyle(new QWindowsStyle);</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 se, 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>See also <a href="qapplication.html#style">style</a>(), <a href="qstyle.html">QStyle</a>, <a href="qapplication.html#setPalette">setPalette</a>(), and <a href="qapplication.html#desktopSettingsAware">desktopSettingsAware</a>().</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="setStyle-2"></a><a href="qstyle.html">QStyle</a> * QApplication::setStyle ( const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & <i>style</i> ) <tt> [static]</tt></h3>
<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>
