撤消框架范例

This example shows how to implement undo/redo functionality with the Qt undo framework.

In the Qt undo framework, all actions that the user performs are implemented in classes that inherit QUndoCommand . An undo command class knows how to both redo() - or just do the first time - and undo() an action. For each action the user performs, a command is placed on a QUndoStack . Since the stack contains all commands executed (stacked in chronological order) on the document, it can roll the state of the document backwards and forwards by undoing and redoing its commands. See the 概述文档 for a high-level introduction to the undo framework.

The undo example implements a simple diagram application. It is possible to add and delete items, which are either box or rectangular shaped, and move the items by dragging them with the mouse. The undo stack is shown in a QUndoView , which is a list in which the commands are shown as list items. Undo and redo are available through the edit menu. The user can also select a command from the undo view.

使用 graphics view framework to implement the diagram. We only treat the related code briefly as the framework has examples of its own (e.g., the 简图场景示例 ).

范例由以下类组成：

• MainWindow is the main window and arranges the example's widgets. It creates the commands based on user input and keeps them on the command stack.
• AddCommand adds an item to the scene.
• DeleteCommand deletes an item from the scene.
• MoveCommand when an item is moved the MoveCommand keeps record of the start and stop positions of the move, and it moves the item according to these when redo() and undo() 被调用。
• DiagramScene 继承 QGraphicsScene and emits signals for the MoveComands when an item is moved.
• DiagramItem 继承 QGraphicsPolygonItem and represents an item in the diagram.

MainWindow 类定义

class MainWindow : public QMainWindow
{
    Q_OBJECT
public:
    MainWindow();
public slots:
    void itemMoved(DiagramItem *movedDiagram, const QPointF &moveStartPosition);
private slots:
    void deleteItem();
    void addBox();
    void addTriangle();
    void about();
    void itemMenuAboutToShow();
    void itemMenuAboutToHide();
private:
    void createActions();
    void createMenus();
    void createUndoView();
    QAction *deleteAction = nullptr;
    QAction *addBoxAction = nullptr;
    QAction *addTriangleAction = nullptr;
    QAction *undoAction = nullptr;
    QAction *redoAction = nullptr;
    QAction *exitAction = nullptr;
    QAction *aboutAction = nullptr;
    QMenu *fileMenu = nullptr;
    QMenu *editMenu = nullptr;
    QMenu *itemMenu = nullptr;
    QMenu *helpMenu = nullptr;
    DiagramScene *diagramScene = nullptr;
    QUndoStack *undoStack = nullptr;
    QUndoView *undoView = nullptr;
};
					

The MainWindow class maintains the undo stack, i.e., it creates QUndoCommand s and pushes and pops them from the stack when it receives the triggered() signal from undoAction and redoAction .

MainWindow 类实现

We will start with a look at the constructor:

MainWindow::MainWindow()
{
    undoStack = new QUndoStack(this);
    createActions();
    createMenus();
    createUndoView();
    diagramScene = new DiagramScene();
    QBrush pixmapBrush(QPixmap(":/images/cross.png").scaled(30, 30));
    diagramScene->setBackgroundBrush(pixmapBrush);
    diagramScene->setSceneRect(QRect(0, 0, 500, 500));
    connect(diagramScene, &DiagramScene::itemMoved,
            this, &MainWindow::itemMoved);
    setWindowTitle("Undo Framework");
    QGraphicsView *view = new QGraphicsView(diagramScene);
    setCentralWidget(view);
    resize(700, 500);
}
					

In the constructor, we set up the DiagramScene and QGraphicsView .

这里是 createUndoView() 函数：

void MainWindow::createUndoView()
{
    undoView = new QUndoView(undoStack);
    undoView->setWindowTitle(tr("Command List"));
    undoView->show();
    undoView->setAttribute(Qt::WA_QuitOnClose, false);
}
					

The QUndoView is a widget that display the text, which is set with the setText() function, for each QUndoCommand in the undo stack in a list.

这里是 createActions() 函数：

void MainWindow::createActions()
{
    deleteAction = new QAction(tr("&Delete Item"), this);
    deleteAction->setShortcut(tr("Del"));
    connect(deleteAction, &QAction::triggered, this, &MainWindow::deleteItem);
    ...
    undoAction = undoStack->createUndoAction(this, tr("&Undo"));
    undoAction->setShortcuts(QKeySequence::Undo);
    redoAction = undoStack->createRedoAction(this, tr("&Redo"));
    redoAction->setShortcuts(QKeySequence::Redo);
					

The createActions() function sets up all the examples actions in the manner shown above. The createUndoAction() and createRedoAction() helps us crate actions that are disabled and enabled based on the state of the stack. Also, the text of the action will be updated automatically based on the text() of the undo commands. For the other actions we have implemented slots in the MainWindow 类。

这里是 createMenus() 函数：

void MainWindow::createMenus()
{
    ...
    editMenu = menuBar()->addMenu(tr("&Edit"));
    editMenu->addAction(undoAction);
    editMenu->addAction(redoAction);
    editMenu->addSeparator();
    editMenu->addAction(deleteAction);
    connect(editMenu, &QMenu::aboutToShow,
            this, &MainWindow::itemMenuAboutToShow);
    connect(editMenu, &QMenu::aboutToHide,
            this, &MainWindow::itemMenuAboutToHide);
    ...
}
					

We have to use the QMenu aboutToShow() and aboutToHide() signals since we only want deleteAction to be enabled when we have selected an item.

这里是 itemMoved() 槽：

void MainWindow::itemMoved(DiagramItem *movedItem,
                           const QPointF &oldPosition)
{
    undoStack->push(new MoveCommand(movedItem, oldPosition));
}
					

We simply push a MoveCommand on the stack, which calls redo() on it.

这里是 deleteItem() 槽：

void MainWindow::deleteItem()
{
    if (diagramScene->selectedItems().isEmpty())
        return;
    QUndoCommand *deleteCommand = new DeleteCommand(diagramScene);
    undoStack->push(deleteCommand);
}
					

An item must be selected to be deleted. We need to check if it is selected as the deleteAction may be enabled even if an item is not selected. This can happen as we do not catch a signal or event when an item is selected.

这里是 itemMenuAboutToShow() and itemMenuAboutToHide() slots:

void MainWindow::itemMenuAboutToHide()
{
    deleteAction->setEnabled(true);
}
void MainWindow::itemMenuAboutToShow()
{
    deleteAction->setEnabled(!diagramScene->selectedItems().isEmpty());
}
					

We implement itemMenuAboutToShow() and itemMenuAboutToHide() to get a dynamic item menu. These slots are connected to the aboutToShow() and aboutToHide() signals. We need this to disable or enable the deleteAction .

这里是 addBox() 槽：

void MainWindow::addBox()
{
    QUndoCommand *addCommand = new AddCommand(DiagramItem::Box, diagramScene);
    undoStack->push(addCommand);
}
					

The addBox() function creates an AddCommand and pushes it on the undo stack.

这里是 addTriangle() sot:

void MainWindow::addTriangle()
{
    QUndoCommand *addCommand = new AddCommand(DiagramItem::Triangle,
                                              diagramScene);
    undoStack->push(addCommand);
}
					

The addTriangle() function creates an AddCommand and pushes it on the undo stack.

这里是实现为 about() :

void MainWindow::about()
{
    QMessageBox::about(this, tr("About Undo"),
                       tr("The <b>Undo</b> example demonstrates how to "
                          "use Qt's undo framework."));
}
					

The about slot is triggered by the aboutAction and displays an about box for the example.

AddCommand Class Definition

class AddCommand : public QUndoCommand
{
public:
    AddCommand(DiagramItem::DiagramType addType, QGraphicsScene *graphicsScene,
               QUndoCommand *parent = nullptr);
    ~AddCommand();
    void undo() override;
    void redo() override;
private:
    DiagramItem *myDiagramItem;
    QGraphicsScene *myGraphicsScene;
    QPointF initialPosition;
};
					

The AddCommand class adds DiagramItem graphics items to the DiagramScene.

AddCommand Class Implementation

从构造函数开始：

AddCommand::AddCommand(DiagramItem::DiagramType addType,
                       QGraphicsScene *scene, QUndoCommand *parent)
    : QUndoCommand(parent), myGraphicsScene(scene)
{
    static int itemCount = 0;
    myDiagramItem = new DiagramItem(addType);
    initialPosition = QPointF((itemCount * 15) % int(scene->width()),
                              (itemCount * 15) % int(scene->height()));
    scene->update();
    ++itemCount;
    setText(QObject::tr("Add %1")
        .arg(createCommandString(myDiagramItem, initialPosition)));
}
					

We first create the DiagramItem to add to the DiagramScene. The setText() function let us set a QString that describes the command. We use this to get custom messages in the QUndoView and in the menu of the main window.

void AddCommand::undo()
{
    myGraphicsScene->removeItem(myDiagramItem);
    myGraphicsScene->update();
}
					

undo() removes the item from the scene.

void AddCommand::redo()
{
    myGraphicsScene->addItem(myDiagramItem);
    myDiagramItem->setPos(initialPosition);
    myGraphicsScene->clearSelection();
    myGraphicsScene->update();
}
					

We set the position of the item as we do not do this in the constructor.

DeleteCommand Class Definition

class DeleteCommand : public QUndoCommand
{
public:
    explicit DeleteCommand(QGraphicsScene *graphicsScene, QUndoCommand *parent = nullptr);
    void undo() override;
    void redo() override;
private:
    DiagramItem *myDiagramItem;
    QGraphicsScene *myGraphicsScene;
};
					

The DeleteCommand class implements the functionality to remove an item from the scene.

DeleteCommand Class Implementation

DeleteCommand::DeleteCommand(QGraphicsScene *scene, QUndoCommand *parent)
    : QUndoCommand(parent), myGraphicsScene(scene)
{
    QList<QGraphicsItem *> list = myGraphicsScene->selectedItems();
    list.first()->setSelected(false);
    myDiagramItem = static_cast<DiagramItem *>(list.first());
    setText(QObject::tr("Delete %1")
        .arg(createCommandString(myDiagramItem, myDiagramItem->pos())));
}
					

We know that there must be one selected item as it is not possible to create a DeleteCommand unless the item to be deleted is selected and that only one item can be selected at any time. The item must be unselected if it is inserted back into the scene.

void DeleteCommand::undo()
{
    myGraphicsScene->addItem(myDiagramItem);
    myGraphicsScene->update();
}
					

The item is simply reinserted into the scene.

void DeleteCommand::redo()
{
    myGraphicsScene->removeItem(myDiagramItem);
}
					

The item is removed from the scene.

MoveCommand Class Definition

class MoveCommand : public QUndoCommand
{
public:
    enum { Id = 1234 };
    MoveCommand(DiagramItem *diagramItem, const QPointF &oldPos,
                QUndoCommand *parent = nullptr);
    void undo() override;
    void redo() override;
    bool mergeWith(const QUndoCommand *command) override;
    int id() const override { return Id; }
private:
    DiagramItem *myDiagramItem;
    QPointF myOldPos;
    QPointF newPos;
};
					

The mergeWith() is reimplemented to make consecutive moves of an item one MoveCommand, i.e, the item will be moved back to the start position of the first move.

MoveCommand Class Implementation

The constructor of MoveCommand looks like this:

MoveCommand::MoveCommand(DiagramItem *diagramItem, const QPointF &oldPos,
                         QUndoCommand *parent)
    : QUndoCommand(parent), myDiagramItem(diagramItem)
    , myOldPos(oldPos), newPos(diagramItem->pos())
{
}
					

We save both the old and new positions for undo and redo respectively.

void MoveCommand::undo()
{
    myDiagramItem->setPos(myOldPos);
    myDiagramItem->scene()->update();
    setText(QObject::tr("Move %1")
        .arg(createCommandString(myDiagramItem, newPos)));
}
					

We simply set the items old position and update the scene.

void MoveCommand::redo()
{
    myDiagramItem->setPos(newPos);
    setText(QObject::tr("Move %1")
        .arg(createCommandString(myDiagramItem, newPos)));
}
					

We set the item to its new position.

bool MoveCommand::mergeWith(const QUndoCommand *command)
{
    const MoveCommand *moveCommand = static_cast<const MoveCommand *>(command);
    DiagramItem *item = moveCommand->myDiagramItem;
    if (myDiagramItem != item)
        return false;
    newPos = item->pos();
    setText(QObject::tr("Move %1")
        .arg(createCommandString(myDiagramItem, newPos)));
    return true;
}
					

Whenever a MoveCommand is created, this function is called to check if it should be merged with the previous command. It is the previous command object that is kept on the stack. The function returns true if the command is merged; otherwise false.

We first check whether it is the same item that has been moved twice, in which case we merge the commands. We update the position of the item so that it will take the last position in the move sequence when undone.

DiagramScene 类定义

class DiagramScene : public QGraphicsScene
{
    Q_OBJECT
public:
    DiagramScene(QObject *parent = nullptr);
signals:
    void itemMoved(DiagramItem *movedItem, const QPointF &movedFromPosition);
protected:
    void mousePressEvent(QGraphicsSceneMouseEvent *event) override;
    void mouseReleaseEvent(QGraphicsSceneMouseEvent *event) override;
private:
    QGraphicsItem *movingItem = nullptr;
    QPointF oldPos;
};
					

The DiagramScene implements the functionality to move a DiagramItem with the mouse. It emits a signal when a move is completed. This is caught by the MainWindow , which makes MoveCommands. We do not examine the implementation of DiagramScene as it only deals with graphics framework issues.

The main() 函数

The main() function of the program looks like this:

int main(int argv, char *args[])
{
    Q_INIT_RESOURCE(undoframework);
    QApplication app(argv, args);
    MainWindow mainWindow;
    mainWindow.show();
    return app.exec();
}
					

We draw a grid in the background of the DiagramScene, so we use a resource file. The rest of the function creates the MainWindow 并将它展示作为顶层窗口。
