Detailed Description

The QTextDocumentWriter class provides a format-independent interface for writing a QTextDocument to files or other devices. \inmodule QtGui.

Since: 4.5

To write a document, construct a QTextDocumentWriter object with either a file name or a device object, and specify the document format to be written. You can construct a writer and set the format using setFormat() later.

Call write() to write the document to the device. If the document is successfully written, this function returns true. However, if an error occurs when writing the document, it will return false.

Call supportedDocumentFormats() for a list of formats that QTextDocumentWriter can write.

Since the capabilities of the supported output formats vary considerably, the writer simply outputs the appropriate subset of objects for each format. This typically includes the formatted text and images contained in a document.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QTextDocumentWriter() [1/3]

QTextDocumentWriter::QTextDocumentWriter ( )

Constructs an empty QTextDocumentWriter object.

Before writing, you must call setFormat() to set a document format, then setDevice() or setFileName().

Definition at line 78 of file qtextdocumentwriter.cpp.

◆ QTextDocumentWriter() [2/3]

QTextDocumentWriter::QTextDocumentWriter	(	QIODevice *	device,
		const QByteArray &	format )

Constructs a QTextDocumentWriter object to write to the given device in the document format specified by format.

Definition at line 87 of file qtextdocumentwriter.cpp.

References QTextDocumentWriterPrivate::device, device(), QTextDocumentWriterPrivate::format, and format().

Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ QTextDocumentWriter() [3/3]

QTextDocumentWriter::QTextDocumentWriter	(	const QString &	fileName,
		const QByteArray &	format = QByteArray() )

explicit

Constructs an QTextDocumentWriter object that will write to a file with the name fileName, using the document format specified by format.

If format is not provided, QTextDocumentWriter will detect the document format by inspecting the extension of fileName.

Definition at line 100 of file qtextdocumentwriter.cpp.

References QTextDocumentWriterPrivate::deleteDevice.

◆ ~QTextDocumentWriter()

QTextDocumentWriter::~QTextDocumentWriter ( )

Destroys the QTextDocumentWriter object.

Definition at line 109 of file qtextdocumentwriter.cpp.

References QTextDocumentWriterPrivate::deleteDevice, and QTextDocumentWriterPrivate::device.

Member Function Documentation

◆ device()

QIODevice * QTextDocumentWriter::device ( ) const

Returns the device currently assigned, or \nullptr if no device has been assigned.

Definition at line 169 of file qtextdocumentwriter.cpp.

References QTextDocumentWriterPrivate::device.

Referenced by QTextDocumentWriter(), and setDevice().

Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ fileName()

QString QTextDocumentWriter::fileName ( ) const

If the currently assigned device is a QFile, or if setFileName() has been called, this function returns the name of the file to be written to.

In all other cases, it returns an empty string.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ format()

QByteArray QTextDocumentWriter::format ( ) const

Returns the format used for writing documents.

See also: setFormat()

Definition at line 137 of file qtextdocumentwriter.cpp.

References QTextDocumentWriterPrivate::format.

Referenced by QTextDocumentWriter(), and setFormat().

Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ setDevice()

void QTextDocumentWriter::setDevice ( QIODevice * device )

Sets the writer's device to the device specified.

If a device has already been set, the old device is removed but otherwise left unchanged.

If the device is not already open, QTextDocumentWriter will attempt to open the device in \l {QIODeviceBase::}{WriteOnly} mode by calling open().

Note: This will not work for certain devices, such as QProcess, QTcpSocket and QUdpSocket, where some configuration is required before the device can be opened.
