This XML data is searched using queries stored in XQuery files (\c{*.xq}). \section2 The User Interface The UI for this example was created using \l{Qt Designer Manual} {Qt Designer}: \image recipes-example.png The UI consists of three \l{QGroupBox} {group boxes} arranged vertically. The top one contains a \l{QTextEdit} {text viewer} that displays the XML text from the cookbook file. The middle group box contains a \l{QComboBox} {combo box} for choosing the \l{A Short Path to XQuery} {XQuery} to run and a \l{QTextEdit} {text viewer} for displaying the text of the selected XQuery. The \c{.xq} files in the file list above are shown in the combo box menu. Choosing an XQuery loads, parses, and runs the selected XQuery. The query result is shown in the bottom group box's \l{QTextEdit} {text viewer}. \section2 Running your own XQueries You can write your own XQuery files and run them in the example program. The file \c{xmlpatterns/recipes/recipes.qrc} is the \l{The Qt Resource System} {resource file} for this example. It is used in \c{main.cpp} (\c{Q_INIT_RESOURCE(recipes);}). It lists the XQuery files (\c{.xq}) that can be selected in the combobox. \quotefromfile xmlpatterns/recipes/recipes.qrc \printuntil To add your own queries to the example's combobox, store your \c{.xq} files in the \c{examples/xmlpatterns/recipes/files} directory and add them to \c{recipes.qrc} as shown above. \section1 Code Walk-Through The example's main() function creates the standard instance of QApplication. Then it creates an instance of the UI class, shows it, and starts the Qt event loop: \snippet xmlpatterns/recipes/main.cpp 0 \section2 The UI Class: QueryMainWindow The example's UI is a conventional Qt GUI application inheriting QMainWindow and the class generated by \l{Qt Designer Manual} {Qt Designer}: \snippet xmlpatterns/recipes/querymainwindow.h 0 The constructor finds the window's \l{QComboBox} {combo box} child widget and connects its \l{QComboBox::currentIndexChanged()} {currentIndexChanged()} signal to the window's \c{displayQuery()} slot. It then calls \c{loadInputFile()} to load \c{cookbook.xml} and display its contents in the top group box's \l{QTextEdit} {text viewer} . Finally, it finds the XQuery files (\c{.xq}) and adds each one to the \l{QComboBox} {combo box} menu. \snippet xmlpatterns/recipes/querymainwindow.cpp 0 The work is done in the \l{displayQuery() slot} {displayQuery()} slot and the \l{evaluate() function} {evaluate()} function it calls. \l{displayQuery() slot} {displayQuery()} loads and displays the selected query file and passes the XQuery text to \l{evaluate() function} {evaluate()}. \target displayQuery() slot \snippet xmlpatterns/recipes/querymainwindow.cpp 1 \l{evaluate() function} {evaluate()} demonstrates the standard Qt XML Patterns usage pattern. First, an instance of QXmlQuery is created (\c{query}). The \c{query's} \l{QXmlQuery::bindVariable()} {bindVariable()} function is then called to bind the \c cookbook.xml file to the XQuery variable \c inputDocument. \e{After} the variable is bound, \l{QXmlQuery::setQuery()} {setQuery()} is called to pass the XQuery text to the \c query. \note \l{QXmlQuery::setQuery()} {setQuery()} must be called \e{after} \l{QXmlQuery::bindVariable()} {bindVariable()}. Passing the XQuery to \l{QXmlQuery::setQuery()} {setQuery()} causes Qt XML Patterns to parse the XQuery. \l{QXmlQuery::isValid()} is called to ensure that the XQuery was correctly parsed. \target evaluate() function \snippet xmlpatterns/recipes/querymainwindow.cpp 2 If the XQuery is valid, an instance of QXmlFormatter is created to format the query result as XML into a QBuffer. To evaluate the XQuery, an overload of \l{QXmlQuery::evaluateTo()} {evaluateTo()} is called that takes a QAbstractXmlReceiver for its output (QXmlFormatter inherits QAbstractXmlReceiver). Finally, the formatted XML result is displayed in the UI's bottom text view. \note Each XQuery \c{.xq} file must declare the \c{$inputDocument} variable to represent the \c cookbook.xml document: \code (: All ingredients for Mushroom Soup. :) declare variable $inputDocument external; doc($inputDocument)/cookbook/recipe[@xml:id = "MushroomSoup"]/ingredient/

{@name, @quantity}

\endcode \note If you add add your own query.xq files, you must declare the \c{$inputDocument} and use it as shown above. */
