Detailed Description

\inmodule QtGui

Since: 6.2

Provides information about the X display configuration.

The class provides two APIs: a set of non-static functions that provide information about a specific widget or pixmap, and a set of static functions that provide the default information for the application.

Warning: This class is only available on X11. For querying per-screen information in a portable way, use QScreen.

Member Typedef Documentation

◆ PeekerCallback

QX11Info::PeekerCallback

Typedef for a pointer to a function with the following signature:

bool (*PeekerCallback)(xcb_generic_event_t *event, void *peekerData);

QX11Info::PeekerCallback

bool(* PeekerCallback)(xcb_generic_event_t *event, void *peekerData)

Typedef for a pointer to a function with the following signature:

Definition qtx11extras_p.h:62

event

struct _cl_event * event

Definition qopenglext.h:2998

The event is a native XCB event. The peekerData is a pointer to data, passed in via peekEventQueue().

Return true from this function to stop examining the buffered native event queue or false to continue.

Note: A non-capturing lambda can serve as a PeekerCallback.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ PeekOption

enum QX11Info::PeekOption

An enum to tune the behavior of QX11Info::peekEventQueue().

\value PeekDefault Peek from the beginning of the buffered native event queue. A peeker id is optional with PeekDefault. If a peeker id is provided to peekEventQueue() when using PeekDefault, then peeking starts from the beginning of the queue, not from the cached index; thus, this can be used to manually reset a cached index to peek from the start of the queue. When this operation completes, the associated index will be updated to the new position in the queue.

\value PeekFromCachedIndex QX11Info::peekEventQueue() can optimize the peeking algorithm by skipping events that it already has seen in earlier calls to peekEventQueue(). When control returns to the main event loop, which causes the buffered native event queue to be flushed to Qt's event queue, the cached indices are marked invalid and will be reset on the next access. The same is true if the program explicitly flushes the buffered native event queue by QCoreApplication::processEvents().

◆ appDpiX()

int QX11Info::appDpiX ( int screen = -1 )

static

Returns the horizontal resolution of the given screen in terms of the number of dots per inch.

The screen argument is an X screen number. Be aware that if the user's system uses Xinerama (as opposed to traditional X11 multiscreen), there is only one X screen. Use QScreen to query for information about Xinerama screens.

Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ appScreen()

int QX11Info::appScreen ( )

static

Returns the number of the screen where the application is being displayed.

This method refers to screens in the original X11 meaning with a different DISPLAY environment variable per screen. This information is only useful if your application needs to know on which X screen it is running.

In a typical multi-head configuration, multiple physical monitors are combined in one X11 screen. This means this method returns the same number for each of the physical monitors. In such a setup you are interested in the monitor information as provided by the X11 RandR extension. This is available through QScreen.

◆ peekEventQueue()

bool QX11Info::peekEventQueue	(	PeekerCallback	peeker,
		void *	peekerData = nullptr,
		PeekOptions	option = PeekDefault,
		qint32	peekerId = -1 )

static

Peek into the buffered XCB event queue.

You can call peekEventQueue() periodically, when your program is busy performing a long-running operation, to peek into the buffered native event queue. The more time the long-running operation blocks the program from returning control to the main event loop, the more events will accumulate in the buffered XCB event queue. Once control returns to the main event loop these events will be flushed to Qt's event queue, which is a separate event queue from the queue this function is peeking into.

Note: It is usually better to run CPU-intensive operations in a non-GUI thread, instead of blocking the main event loop.

The buffered XCB event queue is populated from a non-GUI thread and therefore might be ahead of the current GUI state. To handle native events as they are processed by the GUI thread, see QAbstractNativeEventFilter::nativeEventFilter().

The peeker is a callback function as documented in PeekerCallback. The peekerData can be used to pass in arbitrary data to the peeker callback. The option is an enum that tunes the behavior of peekEventQueue(). The peekerId is used to track an index in the queue, for more details see QX11Info::PeekOption. There can be several indices, each tracked individually by a peeker id obtained via generatePeekerId().

This function returns true when the peeker has stopped the event proccesing by returning true from the callback. If there were no events in the buffered native event queue to peek at or all the events have been processed by the peeker, this function returns false.
