Navigation

Stepper

Presents application-controlled steps with completion, error and availability states.

Example

Stepper: Application-controlled steps

Usage

Application-controlled steps

Click a step to request navigation. Completion, errors and availability stay independent of the current step.

#include <FluentQt/Navigation.h>
using namespace fluent::navigation;

auto* stepper = new Stepper(this);
for (int i = 0; i < 4; ++i) {
    StepperItem item(QString("Step %1").arg(i + 1), "Optional description");
    if (i == 0) item.state = Stepper::Completed;
    if (i == 3) item.enabled = false;
    stepper->addItem(item);
}
stepper->setCurrentIndex(1);
connect(stepper, &Stepper::stepRequested, stepper, &Stepper::setCurrentIndex);
connect(stepper, &Stepper::currentIndexChanged, statusLabel, [statusLabel](int i) {
    statusLabel->setText(QString("Current step: %1").arg(i + 1));
});
connect(toggleError, &Button::clicked, stepper, [stepper] {
    stepper->setItemState(1, stepper->itemAt(1).state == Stepper::Error ? Stepper::Pending : Stepper::Error);
});

static Theme currentTheme()

Returns the currently active global theme.

static bool themeUsesDarkAppearance(Theme theme)

Returns whether a theme uses dark-backed chrome and material tokens.

static void refreshTheme()

Re-broadcasts the current theme to repaint after a design-token change.

static int themeGeneration()

Monotonic counter bumped on every theme change, for staleness checks.

Theme effectiveTheme() const

Resolves the theme used by this element, honoring an inherited QWidget override.

bool effectiveThemeUsesDarkAppearance() const

Returns whether this element's effective theme uses dark-backed chrome.

QJsonObject themeOverrides() const

Returns this element's authored overrides.

void clearThemeOverrides()

Restores all token fields to global theme defaults.

const Colors& themeColorsRef() const

Non-copying access to the active color set (for hot paint paths).

Material::AcrylicToken themeAcrylic() const

Material, elevation, and adaptive layout tokens.

QColor themeBackdrop(bool active) const

Window-chrome backdrop color for the given activation state.

virtual void onThemeUpdated()

Called after the global theme changes.

Enumerations

void setState(const QString& name)

Applies a named state, or clears state when name is empty.

void addState(const QMLState& state)

Registers or replaces a named state definition.

void evaluateStates()

Reevaluates conditions; the first registered true condition wins.

QMLPlusRuntime* runtime()

Returns the lazy host-owned state observation object.

void setAnchors(const AnchorLayout::Anchors& anchors)

Replaces all host anchors and invalidates the parent layout.

void resetAnchors()

Clears all host anchors and invalidates the parent layout.

void addTransition(const StateTransition& transition)

Registers a state transition in precedence order.

void setBehavior(const char* propertyName, const PropertyAnimation& animation)

Sets the default animation for this host's managed property writes.

void clearBehavior(const char* propertyName)
