## Member Enumeration Documentation

anonymous enum

This enum defines the meanings of the different styles used by the Properties lexer.

Enumerator:

  Default | The default.
  Comment | A comment.
  Section | A section.
  Assignment | An assignment operator.
  DefaultValue | A default value.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QsciLexerProperties::QsciLexerProperties | ( | QObject * | parent = `0` | ) |

Construct a QsciLexerProperties with parent parent. parent is typically the QsciScintilla instance.

virtual QsciLexerProperties::~QsciLexerProperties | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

Destroys the QsciLexerProperties instance.

## Member Function Documentation

const char* QsciLexerProperties::language | ( |  | ) | const`[virtual]`

Returns the name of the language.

Implements QsciLexer.

const char* QsciLexerProperties::lexer | ( |  | ) | const`[virtual]`

Returns the name of the lexer. Some lexers support a number of languages.

Implements QsciLexer.

QColor QsciLexerProperties::defaultColor | ( | int | style | ) | const`[virtual]`

Returns the foreground colour of the text for style number style.

  defaultPaper()

Reimplemented from QsciLexer.

bool QsciLexerProperties::defaultEolFill | ( | int | style | ) | const`[virtual]`

Returns the end-of-line fill for style number style.

Reimplemented from QsciLexer.

QFont QsciLexerProperties::defaultFont | ( | int | style | ) | const`[virtual]`

Returns the font for style number style.

Reimplemented from QsciLexer.

QColor QsciLexerProperties::defaultPaper | ( | int | style | ) | const`[virtual]`

Returns the background colour of the text for style number style.

See also:
  defaultColor()

Reimplemented from QsciLexer.

QString QsciLexerProperties::description | ( | int | style | ) | const`[virtual]`

Returns the descriptive name for style number style. If the style is invalid for this language then an empty QString is returned. This is intended to be used in user preference dialogs.

Implements QsciLexer.

void QsciLexerProperties::refreshProperties | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

Causes all properties to be refreshed by emitting the propertyChanged() signal as required.

Reimplemented from QsciLexer.

bool QsciLexerProperties::foldCompact | ( |  | ) | const

Returns true if trailing blank lines are included in a fold block.

See also:
  setFoldCompact()

virtual void QsciLexerProperties::setFoldCompact | ( | bool | fold | ) | `[virtual, slot]`

If fold is true then trailing blank lines are included in a fold block. The default is true.

See also:
  foldCompact()

bool QsciLexerProperties::readProperties | ( | QSettings & | qs,
|  | const QString & | prefix |
| ) |  |  | `[protected, virtual]`

The lexer's properties are read from the settings qs. prefix (which has a trailing '/') should be used as a prefix to the key of each setting. true is returned if there is no error.

See also:
  writeProperties()

Reimplemented from QsciLexer.

bool QsciLexerProperties::writeProperties | ( | QSettings & | qs,
|  | const QString & | prefix |
| ) |  |  | const`[protected, virtual]`

The lexer's properties are written to the settings qs. prefix (which has a trailing '/') should be used as a prefix to the key of each setting. true is returned if there is no error.
