DESCRIPTION
The QDictIterator class provides an iterator for QDict collections.

QDictIterator is implemented as a template class. Define a template instance QDictIterator<X> to create a dictionary iterator that operates on QDict<X> (dictionary of X*).

Example:

    #include <qdict.h>
    #include <stdio.h>
    void main()
    {
      // Creates a dictionary that maps QString ==> char* (case insensitive)
        QDict<char> dict( 17, FALSE );
        dict.insert( "France", "Paris" );
        dict.insert( "Russia", "Moscow" );
        dict.insert( "Norway", "Oslo" );
        QDictIterator<char> it( dict ); // iterator for dict
        while ( it.current() ) {
            printf( "%s -> %s\n", it.currentKey().latin1(), it.current() );
            ++it;
        }
    }

Program output:

        Russia -> Moscow
        Norway -> Oslo
        France -> Paris

Note that the traversal order is arbitrary, you are not guaranteed the order above.

Multiple iterators may independently traverse the same dictionary. A QDict knows about all iterators that are operating on the dictionary. When an item is removed from the dictionary, QDict update all iterators that are referring the removed item to point to the next item in the traversing order.

MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION

QDictIterator::QDictIterator ( const QDict<type> & dict )
Constructs an iterator for dict. The current iterator item is set to point on the first item in the dict.

QDictIterator::~QDictIterator ()
Destroys the iterator.

QDictIterator::operator type * () const
Cast operator. Returns a pointer to the current iterator item. Same as current().

uint QDictIterator::count () const
Returns the number of items in the dictionary this iterator operates on.

See also isEmpty().

type * QDictIterator::current () const
Returns a pointer to the current iterator item.

QString QDictIterator::currentKey () const
Returns a pointer to the key for the current iterator item.

bool QDictIterator::isEmpty () const
Returns TRUE if the dictionary is empty, i.e. count() == 0, otherwise FALSE.

See also count().

type * QDictIterator::operator() ()
Makes the succeeding item current and returns the original current item.

If the current iterator item was the last item in the dictionary or if it was null, null is returned.

type * QDictIterator::operator++ ()
Prefix ++ makes the succeeding item current and returns the new current item.

If the current iterator item was the last item in the dictionary or if it was null, null is returned.

type * QDictIterator::operator+= ( uint jump )
Sets the current item to the item jump positions after the current item, and returns a pointer to that item.

If that item is beyond the last item or if the dictionary is empty, it sets the current item to null and returns null.

type * QDictIterator::toFirst ()
Sets the current iterator item to point to the first item in the dictionary and returns a pointer to the item. If the dictionary is empty it sets the current item to null and returns null.
