`TaurusBaseWidget`

class TaurusBaseWidget(name='', parent=None, designMode=False, **kwargs)[source]

The base class for all Qt Taurus widgets.

Note

Any class which inherits from TaurusBaseWidget is expected to also inherit from QWidget (or from a QWidget derived class)

Import from taurus.qt.qtgui.base as:

from taurus.qt.qtgui.base import TaurusBaseWidget

changeEvent(evt)[source]: overwrites QWidget.changeEvent(self, evt) to handle the ParentChangeEvent in case this widget is using the parent model. Always calls the QWidget.changeEvent in order not to lose events

closeEvent(event)[source]: Override of the QWidget.closeEvent()

dragEnterEvent(event)[source]: reimplemented to support drag&drop of models. See QWidget

dropEvent(event)[source]: reimplemented to support drag&drop of models. See QWidget

emitValueChanged(*args)[source]: Connect the specific XXXXChanged signals from derived classes to this method in order to have a unified signal which can be used by Taurus Widgets

getAutoTooltip()[source]

Returns if the widget is automatically generating a tooltip based on the current widget model.

Returns:: True if automatically generating tooltip or False otherwise
Return type:: bool

getDropEventCallback()[source]

returns the method to be called when a dropping event occurs. The default implementation returns self.setModel. Reimplement it subclasses to call different methods.

Returns:: method to be called when a dropping event occurs.
Return type:: callable

getModelMimeData()[source]

Returns a MimeData object containing the model data. The default implementation fills the TAURUS_MODEL_MIME_TYPE. If the widget’s Model class is Attribute or Device, it also fills TAURUS_ATTR_MIME_TYPE or TAURUS_DEV_MIME_TYPE, respectively

Returns:: MimeData object containing the model data.
Return type:: QMimeData

getParentTaurusComponent(**kwargs): Deprecated since version 4.3.2.

getQtClass(bases=None)[source]

Returns the parent Qt class for this widget

Parameters:: bases (sequence<class> or None) – the list of class objects. If None is given (default) it uses the object base classes from __bases__
Returns:: the QWidget class object
Return type:: QWidget class

classmethod getQtDesignerPluginInfo()[source]

Returns pertinent information in order to be able to build a valid QtDesigner widget plugin.

The dictionary returned by this method should contain at least the following keys and values:

‘module’ : a string representing the full python module name (ex.: ‘taurus.qt.qtgui.base’)
‘icon’ : a string representing valid resource icon (ex.: ‘designer:combobox.png’)
‘container’a bool telling if this widget is a container widget or
not.

This default implementation returns the following dictionary:

{ 'group'     : 'Taurus [Unclassified]',
  'icon'      : 'logos:taurus.png',
  'container' : False }

Returns:: a map with pertinent designer information
Return type:: dict

getSupportedMimeTypes()[source]

returns a list of supported mimeTypes that this widget support (ordered by priority). If none is set explicitely via setSupportedMimeTypes(), a best effort will be tried based on the model class

..seealso: setSupportedMimeTypes()

This provides only a very basic implementation. Reimplement in derived classes if needed

Returns:: list of MIME type names
Return type:: list<str>

handleEvent(evt_src, evt_type, evt_value)[source]

very basic and generalistic handling of events.

Override when necessary.

Parameters:

evt_src (object or None) – object that triggered the event
evt_type (taurus.core.taurusbasetypes.TaurusEventType or None) – type of event
evt_value (object or None) – event value

handleException(e)[source]

handleMimeData(mimeData, method)[source]

Selects the most appropriate data from the given mimeData object (in the order returned by getSupportedMimeTypes()) and passes it to the given method.

Parameters:

mimeData (QMimeData) – the MIME data object from which the model is to be extracted
method (callable<str>) – a method that accepts a string as argument. This method will be called with the data from the mimeData object

Returns:

returns the MimeType used if the model was successfully set, or None if the model could not be set

Return type:

str or None

hideEvent(event)[source]: Override of the QWidget.hideEvent()

isDragEnabled()[source]

whether the user can drag data from this widget

Returns:: True if the user can drag data
Return type:: bool

property modelChanged: Base signal modelChanged

mouseMoveEvent(event)[source]: reimplemented to provide drag events. See QWidget

mousePressEvent(event)[source]: reimplemented to record the start position for drag events. See QWidget

onSetFormatter()[source]: Slot to allow interactive setting of the Formatter.

See also

TaurusBaseWidget.__showFormatterDlg(), TaurusBaseComponent.displayValue(), tauruscustomsettings.DEFAULT_FORMATTER

parentModelChanged(parentmodel_name)[source]

Invoked when the Taurus parent model changes

Parameters:: parentmodel_name (str) – the new name of the parent model

recheckTaurusParent()[source]

Forces the widget to recheck its Taurus parent. Taurus Widgets will in most situations keep track of changes in their taurus parenting, but in some special cases (which unfortunately tend to occur when using Qt Designer) they may not update it correctly.

If this happens, you can manually call this method.

For more information, check the issue demo example

resetDragEnabled()[source]: Equivalent to setDragEnabled(self.__class__._dragEnabled)

safeApplyOperations(ops=None)[source]

Applies the given operations (or the pending operations if None passed)

Parameters:: ops (sequence<taurus.core.taurusoperation.TaurusOperation> or None) – list of operations to apply. If None is given (default) the component fetches the pending operations
Returns:: False if the apply was aborted by the user or if the widget is in design mode. True otherwise.
Return type:: bool

setAutoTooltip(yesno)[source]

Determines if the widget should automatically generate a tooltip based on the current widget model.

Parameters:: yesno (bool) – True to automatically generate tooltip or False otherwise

setDisconnectOnHide(disconnect)[source]

Sets/unsets disconnection on hide event

Parameters:: disconnect (bool) – whether or not to disconnect on hide event

setDragEnabled(enabled)[source]

sets whether the user is allowed to drag data from this widget

Parameters:: enabled (bool) – if True, dragging is enabled. False disables

setModelInConfig(yesno)[source]: extends TaurusBaseComponent.setModelInConfig() to include also the “useParentModel” property

See also

TaurusBaseComponent.setModelInConfig()

setModifiableByUser(modifiable)[source]: Reimplemented to acept/reject drops based on whether the widget is modifiable by the user. See TaurusBaseComponent.setModifiableByUser()

setSupportedMimeTypes(mimetypes)[source]

sets the mimeTypes that this widget support

Parameters:: mimetypes (list<str>) – list (ordered by priority) of MIME type names

setUseParentModel(yesno)[source]

..note:: Deprecated since v4.3.2

Sets/unsets using the parent model.

Note

in some cases you may need to call recheckTaurusParent() after reparenting of some of this widget’s ancestors

Parameters:: yesno (bool) – whether or not to use parent model
