Function documentation

QgsHiddenWidgetWrapper::QgsHiddenWidgetWrapper(QgsVectorLayer* layer, int fieldIdx, QWidget* editor = nullptr, QWidget* parent = nullptr) explicit

Constructor for QgsHiddenWidgetWrapper.

The layer and fieldIdx arguments specify the vector layer field associated with the wrapper.

The editor argument indicates the editor widget to use with the wrapper. This can be a nullptr if a new widget should be autogenerated.

A parent widget for this widget wrapper and the created widget can also be specified.

QVariant QgsHiddenWidgetWrapper::value() const override

Will be used to access the widget's value.

Returns	The current value the widget represents

Read the value from the widget and return it properly formatted to be saved in the attribute.

If an invalid variant is returned this will be interpreted as no change. Be sure to return a NULL QVariant if it should be set to NULL.

QWidget* QgsHiddenWidgetWrapper::createWidget(QWidget* parent) override protected

This method should create a new widget with the provided parent.

Parameters
parent	You should set this parent on the created widget.
Returns	A new widget

This will only be called if the form did not already provide a widget, so it is not guaranteed to be called! You should not do initialization stuff, which also has to be done for custom editor widgets inside this method. Things like filling comboboxes and assigning other data which will also be used to make widgets on forms created in the QtDesigner usable should be assigned in initWidget().

void QgsHiddenWidgetWrapper::initWidget(QWidget* editor) override protected

This method should initialize the editor widget with runtime data.

Parameters
editor	The widget which will represent this attribute editor in a form.

Fill your comboboxes here.

bool QgsHiddenWidgetWrapper::valid() const override protected

Returns true if the widget has been properly initialized.

Returns	Validity status of this widget.

This acts as hint for the calling party if this wrapper can be used after initializing it. If it cannot be used this is a hint to the caller that he may try to find another suitable widget type instead.
