Banana.Ui.Widget

Every widget defined in a ui file is exposed to the script engine. 

You can get a particular widget through it's name and the method findChild:

For every widget you have access to:

• properties
• public slots
• signals

If a method is not defined as public slot in c++ qt api,  it will not be available to the script engine. Some widgets are wrapped so that you have access to additional methods, see next chapter Wrapped widgets.

For complete examples see the page Script dialogs or the tutorial JavaScript Tutorial 1 (documents 740 'QTableWidget interaction' and 742 'Find dialog').

Example:

// Load ui file 
var dialog = Banana.Ui.createUi("ch.banana.scripts.find.ui"); 

// Get the label/widget through it's name
var statusLabel = dialog.findChild('statusLabel');

// Set the text of label/widget
statusLabel.setText('Hello!');

// Connect button box accepted signal to the dialog close method
var buttonBox = dialog.findChild("buttonBox");
buttonBox.accepted.connect(function() {dialog.close();});

Signals

You have three ways to connect signals to methods.

// Method1: Connect a signal to a function
function findNext() {
   Banana.console.log('find next');
} 
findNextButton.clicked.connect(findNext);

// Method2: Connect a signal to an object method
var object = {}
object.onClicked = function() { 
   Banana.console.log('clicked');
};
findNextButton.clicked.connect(object, object. onClicked);

// Method3: Connect a signal to an inline function 
findNextButton.clicked.connect(
   function(){Banana.console.log('clicked');}
);
