slot with the popup menu showing.
viewEffect
slot (see FIGURE 5.9) in a template causes a visual effect when the view associated with the template is opened or closed. These visual effects are most similar to the transitions (or wipes) used in some movies to change from one scene to another. For example, you can have a view that opens like the iris of a camera. When that view is closed, it uses the visual effect in reverse, like the closing of the iris of a camera. Here is the list of predefined visual effects:
fxCheckerboardEffect
fxBarnDoorOpenEffect
/fxBarnDoorCloseEffect
fxVenetianBlindEffect
fxIrisOpenEffect
/fxIrisCloseEfffect
fxPopDownEffect
fxDrawerEffect
fxZoomOpenEffect
/fxZoomCloseEffect
fxZoomVerticalEffect
viewEffect
as a slot within your application base view, so that your application will have a particular visual effect whenever it is opened or closed. You can also add viewEffect
slots to other views that you open and close.
SlideEffect
is commonly used for scrolling.
