Detailed Description

A widget for selecting and arranging actions/objects.

This widget allows the user to select from a set of objects and arrange the order of the selected ones using two list boxes labeled "Available" and "Used" with horizontal arrows in between to move selected objects between the two, and vertical arrows on the right to arrange the order of the selected objects.

The widget moves objects to the other listbox when doubleclicked if the property moveOnDoubleClick is set to true (default). See moveOnDoubleClick() and setMoveOnDoubleClick().

The user control the widget using the keyboard if enabled (default), see keyboardEnabled.

Note that this may conflist with keyboard selection in the selected list box, if you set that to anything else than TQListBox::Single (which is the default).

To use it, simply construct an instance and then add items to the two listboxes, available through lbAvailable() and lbSelected(). Whenever you want, you can retrieve the selected options using TQListBox methods on lbSelected().

This way, you can use your own TQListBoxItem class, allowing you to easily store object data in those.

When an item is moved to a listbox, it is placed below the current item of that listbox.

Standard arrow icons are used, but you can use icons of your own choice if desired, see setButtonIcon(). It is also possible to set tooltips and whatsthis help for the buttons. See setButtonTooltip() and setButtonWhatsThis().

To set whatsthis or tooltips for the listboxes, access them through availableListbox() and selectedListBox().

All the moving buttons are automatically set enabled as expected.

Signals are sent each time an item is moved, allowing you to follow the users actions if you need to. See addedToSelection(), removedFromSelection(), movedUp() and movedDown()
