\title Address Book 5 - Adding a Find Function}
In this chapter, we look at ways to locate contacts and addresses in the
address book application.
# image
As we keep adding contacts to our address book, it becomes tedious to
navigate them with the \gui Next and \gui Previous buttons. In this case,
a \gui Find function would be more efficient in looking up contacts. The
screenshot above shows the \gui Find button and its position on the panel
of buttons.
When the user clicks on the \gui Find button, it is useful to display a
dialog that can prompt the user for a contact's name. Qt provides QDialog,
which we subclass in this chapter, to implement a FindDialog class.
\section1 Designing FindDialog
#image
We begin by adding a new \c{.ui} file to our project. Right click on your
project and select \gui{Add New...}. In the \gui{New File} dialog, select
\gui{Qt Designer Form}. In the \gui{Qt Designer Form| dialog, select
\e{Dialog without buttons}. Name it \c{finddialog.ui} and add it to your
project. The \QD plugin within Qt Creator will now display your new form.
To replicate the screenshot above, we need a label, a line edit, and a push
button. Drag these onto your form. Set their text accordingly and name them
\c label, \c lineEdit, and \c findButton, respectively. Place these widgets
in a horizontal layout. Then set a top level layout - either horizontal or
vertical.
