<p>For an overview of Qt's Undo Framework, see the <a href="qundo.html">overview document</a>.</p>
<p>A QUndoCommand represents a single editing action on a document; for example, inserting or deleting a block of text in a text editor. QUndoCommand can apply a change to the document with <a href="qundocommand.html#redo">redo</a>() and undo the change with <a href="qundocommand.html#undo">undo</a>(). The implementations for these functions must be provided in a derived class.</p>
<pre> class AppendText : public QUndoCommand
{
public:
AppendText(QString *doc, const QString &text)
: m_document(doc), m_text(text) { setText("append text"); }
virtual void undo()
{ m_document->chop(m_text.length()); }
virtual void redo()
{ m_document->append(m_text); }
private:
QString *m_document;
QString m_text;
};</pre>
<p>A QUndoCommand has an associated <a href="qundocommand.html#text">text</a>(). This is a short string describing what the command does. It is used to update the text properties of the stack's undo and redo actions; see <a href="qundostack.html#createUndoAction">QUndoStack.createUndoAction</a>() and <a href="qundostack.html#createRedoAction">QUndoStack.createRedoAction</a>().</p>
<p>QUndoCommand objects are owned by the stack they were pushed on. <a href="qundostack.html">QUndoStack</a> deletes a command if it has been undone and a new command is pushed. For example:</p>
<pre> MyCommand *command1 = new MyCommand();
stack->push(command1);
MyCommand *command2 = new MyCommand();
stack->push(command2);
stack->undo();
MyCommand *command3 = new MyCommand();
stack->push(command3); <span class="comment">// command2 gets deleted</span></pre>
<p>In effect, when a command is pushed, it becomes the top-most command on the stack.</p>
<p>To support command compression, QUndoCommand has an <a href="qundocommand.html#id">id</a>() and the virtual function <a href="qundocommand.html#mergeWith">mergeWith</a>(). These functions are used by <a href="qundostack.html#push">QUndoStack.push</a>().</p>
<p>To support command macros, a QUndoCommand object can have any number of child commands. Undoing or redoing the parent command will cause the child commands to be undone or redone. A command can be assigned to a parent explicitly in the constructor. In this case, the command will be owned by the parent.</p>
<p>The parent in this case is usually an empty command, in that it doesn't provide its own implementation of <a href="qundocommand.html#undo">undo</a>() and <a href="qundocommand.html#redo">redo</a>(). Instead, it uses the base implementations of these functions, which simply call <a href="qundocommand.html#undo">undo</a>() or <a href="qundocommand.html#redo">redo</a>() on all its children. The parent should, however, have a meaningful <a href="qundocommand.html#text">text</a>().</p>
<pre> QUndoCommand *insertRed = new QUndoCommand(); <span class="comment">// an empty command</span>
insertRed->setText("insert red text");
new InsertText(document, idx, text, insertRed); <span class="comment">// becomes child of insertRed</span>
new SetColor(document, idx, text.length(), Qt.red, insertRed);
stack.push(insertRed);</pre>
<p>Another way to create macros is to use the convenience functions <a href="qundostack.html#beginMacro">QUndoStack.beginMacro</a>() and <a href="qundostack.html#endMacro">QUndoStack.endMacro</a>().</p>

<p>This function was introduced in Qt 4.4.</p>
<p>See also <a href="qundocommand.html#childCount">childCount</a>() and <a href="qundostack.html#command">QUndoStack.command</a>().</p>

<a name="//apple_ref/cpp/instm/QUndoCommand/id" />
<h3 class="fn"><a name="id" />int QUndoCommand.id (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns the ID of this command.</p>
<p>A command ID is used in command compression. It must be an integer unique to this command's class, or -1 if the command doesn't support compression.</p>
<p>If the command supports compression this function must be overridden in the derived class to return the correct ID. The base implementation returns -1.</p>

<p>If this function returns true, calling this command's <a href="qundocommand.html#redo">redo</a>() must have the same effect as redoing both this command and <i>command</i>. Similarly, calling this command's <a href="qundocommand.html#undo">undo</a>() must have the same effect as undoing <i>command</i> and this command.</p>
<p><a href="qundostack.html">QUndoStack</a> will only try to merge two commands if they have the same id, and the id is not -1.</p>
<p>The default implementation returns false.</p>
<pre> bool AppendText.mergeWith(const QUndoCommand *other)
{
if (other->id() != id()) <span class="comment">// make sure other is also an AppendText command</span>
return false;
m_text += static_cast<const AppendText*>(other)->m_text;

<h3 class="fn"><a name="redo" />QUndoCommand.redo (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Applies a change to the document. This function must be implemented in the derived class.

<a name="//apple_ref/cpp/instm/QUndoCommand/text" />
<h3 class="fn"><a name="text" />QString QUndoCommand.text (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns a short text string describing what this command does; for example, "insert text".</p>
<p>The text is used when the text properties of the stack's undo and redo actions are updated.</p>

<a name="//apple_ref/cpp/instm/QUndoCommand/undo" />
<h3 class="fn"><a name="undo" />QUndoCommand.undo (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Reverts a change to the document. After undo() is called, the state of the document should be the same as before <a href="qundocommand.html#redo">redo</a>() was called. This function must be implemented in the derived class.
