Function documentation

QgsEditorConfigWidget* QgsUuidWidgetFactory::configWidget(QgsVectorLayer* vl, int fieldIdx, QWidget* parent) const override

Override this in your implementation.

Parameters
vl The layer for which the widget will be created
fieldIdx The field index for which the widget will be created
parent The parent widget of the created config widget
Returns A configuration widget

Create a new configuration widget for this widget type.

QgsEditorWidgetWrapper* QgsUuidWidgetFactory::create(QgsVectorLayer* vl, int fieldIdx, QWidget* editor, QWidget* parent) const override

Override this in your implementation.

Parameters
vl The vector layer on which this widget will act
fieldIdx The field index on which this widget will act
editor An editor widget if already existent. If NULL is provided, a new widget will be created.
parent The parent for the wrapper class and any created widget.
Returns A new widget wrapper

Create a new editor widget wrapper. Call QgsEditorWidgetRegistry::create() instead of calling this method directly.

unsigned int QgsUuidWidgetFactory::fieldScore(const QgsVectorLayer* vl, int fieldIdx) const override

This method allows disabling this editor widget type for a certain field.

Parameters
vl
fieldIdx
Returns 0 if the field is not supported or a bigger number if it can (the widget with the biggest number will be taken by default). The default implementation returns 5..

By default, it returns 5 for every fields. Reimplement this if you only support certain fields.

Typical return values are:

  • 0: not supported
  • 5: maybe support (for example, Datetime support strings depending on their content)
  • 10: basic support (this is what returns TextEdit for example, since it supports everything in a crude way)
  • 20: specialized support
