<hr><a name="details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>


The QPtrListIterator class provides an iterator for
<a href="qptrlist.html">QPtrList</a> collections.
<p> 

<p> Define a template instance QPtrListIterator&lt;X&gt; to create a list
iterator that operates on QPtrList&lt;X&gt; (list of X*).
<p> The following example is similar to the <a href="qptrlist.html#example">example in the QPtrList class documentation</a>, but it uses QPtrListIterator. The class Employee is
defined there.
<p> <pre>
    <a href="qptrlist.html">QPtrList</a>&lt;Employee&gt; list;

    list.<a href="qptrlist.html#append">append</a>( new Employee("John", "Doe", 50000) );
    list.<a href="qptrlist.html#append">append</a>( new Employee("Jane", "Williams", 80000) );
    list.<a href="qptrlist.html#append">append</a>( new Employee("Tom", "Jones", 60000) );

    QPtrListIterator&lt;Employee&gt; it( list );
    Employee *employee;
    while ( (employee = it.<a href="#current">current</a>()) != 0 ) {
        ++it;
        cout &lt;&lt; employee-&gt;surname().latin1() &lt;&lt; ", " &lt;&lt;
                employee-&gt;forename().latin1() &lt;&lt; " earns " &lt;&lt;
                employee-&gt;salary() &lt;&lt; endl;
    }
    </pre>
 
<p> The output is
<pre>
    Doe, John earns 50000
    Williams, Jane earns 80000
    Jones, Tom earns 60000
    </pre>
 
<p> Using a list iterator is a more robust way of traversing the list
than using the <a href="qptrlist.html">QPtrList</a> member functions <a href="qptrlist.html#first">first</a>(), <a href="qptrlist.html#next">next</a>(), <a href="qptrlist.html#current">current</a>(), etc., as many iterators can
traverse the same list independently.
<p> An iterator has its own current list item and can get the next and
previous list items. It doesn't modify the list in any way.
<p> When an item is removed from the list, all iterators that point to
that item are updated to point to <a href="qptrlist.html#current">QPtrList::current</a>() instead to
avoid dangling references.
<p> <p>See also <a href="qptrlist.html">QPtrList</a>, <a href="collection.html">Collection Classes</a>, and <a href="tools.html">Non-GUI Classes</a>.

<hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2>
<h3 class=fn><a name="QPtrListIterator"></a>QPtrListIterator::QPtrListIterator ( const&nbsp;<a href="qptrlist.html">QPtrList</a>&lt;type&gt;&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;list )
</h3>

<p> Constructs an iterator for <em>list</em>. The current iterator item is
set to point on the first item in the <em>list</em>.

<h3 class=fn><a name="~QPtrListIterator"></a>QPtrListIterator::~QPtrListIterator ()
</h3>

<p> Destroys the iterator.

<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="atFirst"></a>QPtrListIterator::atFirst () const
</h3>

<p> Returns TRUE if the current iterator item is the first list item;
otherwise returns FALSE.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#toFirst">toFirst</a>() and <a href="#atLast">atLast</a>().

<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="atLast"></a>QPtrListIterator::atLast () const
</h3>

<p> Returns TRUE if the current iterator item is the last list item;
otherwise returns FALSE.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#toLast">toLast</a>() and <a href="#atFirst">atFirst</a>().

<h3 class=fn>uint <a name="count"></a>QPtrListIterator::count () const
</h3>

<p> Returns the number of items in the list this iterator operates on.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#isEmpty">isEmpty</a>().

<p>Example: <a href="customlayout-example.html#x1522">customlayout/card.cpp</a>.
<h3 class=fn>type * <a name="current"></a>QPtrListIterator::current () const
</h3>

<p> Returns a pointer to the current iterator item. If the iterator is
positioned before the first item in the list or after the last
item in the list, 0 is returned.

<p>Examples: <a href="canvas-example.html#x2949">canvas/canvas.cpp</a>, <a href="customlayout-example.html#x1523">customlayout/card.cpp</a>, and <a href="customlayout-example.html#x1481">customlayout/flow.cpp</a>.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="isEmpty"></a>QPtrListIterator::isEmpty () const
</h3>

<p> Returns TRUE if the list is empty; otherwise returns FALSE.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#count">count</a>().

<h3 class=fn><a name="operator-type-*"></a>QPtrListIterator::operator type * () const
</h3>

<p> Cast operator. Returns a pointer to the current iterator item.
Same as <a href="#current">current</a>().

<h3 class=fn>type * <a name="operator()"></a>QPtrListIterator::operator() ()
</h3>

<p> Makes the succeeding item current and returns the original current
item.
<p> If the current iterator item was the last item in the list or if
it was 0, 0 is returned.

<h3 class=fn>type * <a name="operator*"></a>QPtrListIterator::operator* ()
</h3>

<p> Asterisk operator. Returns a pointer to the current iterator item.
Same as <a href="#current">current</a>().

<h3 class=fn>type * <a name="operator++"></a>QPtrListIterator::operator++ ()
</h3>

<p> Prefix ++ makes the succeeding item current and returns the new
current item.
<p> If the current iterator item was the last item in the list or if
it was 0, 0 is returned.

<h3 class=fn>type * <a name="operator+-eq"></a>QPtrListIterator::operator+= ( uint&nbsp;jump )
</h3>

<p> Sets the current item to the item <em>jump</em> positions after the
current item and returns a pointer to that item.
<p> If that item is beyond the last item or if the list is empty, it
sets the current item to 0 and returns 0

<h3 class=fn>type * <a name="operator--"></a>QPtrListIterator::operator-- ()
</h3>

<p> Prefix - makes the preceding item current and returns the new
current item.
<p> If the current iterator item was the first item in the list or if
it was 0, 0 is returned.

<h3 class=fn>type * <a name="operator--eq"></a>QPtrListIterator::operator-= ( uint&nbsp;jump )
</h3>

<p> Returns the item <em>jump</em> positions before the current item or 0
if it is beyond the first item. Makes this the current item.

<h3 class=fn><a href="qptrlistiterator.html">QPtrListIterator</a>&lt;type&gt;&nbsp;&amp; <a name="operator-eq"></a>QPtrListIterator::operator= ( const&nbsp;<a href="qptrlistiterator.html">QPtrListIterator</a>&lt;type&gt;&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;it )
</h3>

<p> Assignment. Makes a copy of the iterator <em>it</em> and returns a
reference to this iterator.

<h3 class=fn>type * <a name="toFirst"></a>QPtrListIterator::toFirst ()
</h3>

<p> Sets the current iterator item to point to the first list item and
returns a pointer to the item. Sets the current item to 0 and
returns 0 if the list is empty.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#toLast">toLast</a>() and <a href="#atFirst">atFirst</a>().

<h3 class=fn>type * <a name="toLast"></a>QPtrListIterator::toLast ()
</h3>

<p> Sets the current iterator item to point to the last list item and
returns a pointer to the item. Sets the current item to 0 and
returns 0 if the list is empty.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#toFirst">toFirst</a>() and <a href="#atLast">atLast</a>().
