+ \example script/helloscript
+ \title Hello Script Example
+
+ The Hello Script example shows the basic use of Qt Script: How to embed
+ a script engine into the application, how to evaluate a script, and how
+ to process the result of the evaluation. The example also shows how to
+ apply internationalization to scripts.
+
+ \snippet examples/script/helloscript/main.cpp 0
+
+ The application will load the script file to evaluate from a resource, so
+ we first make sure that the resource is initialized.
+
+ \snippet examples/script/helloscript/main.cpp 1
+
+ We attempt to load a translation, and install translation functions in the
+ script engine. How to produce a translation is explained later.
+
+ \snippet examples/script/helloscript/main.cpp 2
+
+ A push button is created and exported to the script environment as a
+ global variable, \c button. Scripts will be able to access properties,
+ signals and slots of the button as properties of the \c button script
+ object; the script object acts as a proxy to the C++ button object.
+
+ \snippet examples/script/helloscript/main.cpp 3
+
+ The contents of the script file are read.
+
+ \snippet examples/script/helloscript/helloscript.qs 0
+
+ The script sets the \c text (note that the qTr() function is used to allow
+ for translation) and \c styleSheet properties of the button, and calls the
+ button's \c show() slot.
+
+ \snippet examples/script/helloscript/main.cpp 4
+
+ The script is evaluated. Note that the file name is passed as the
+ (optional) second parameter; this makes it possible for the script engine
+ to produce a meaningful backtrace if something goes wrong, and makes the
+ qTr() function be able to resolve the translations that are associated
+ with this script.
+
+ \snippet examples/script/helloscript/main.cpp 5
+
+ If the result is an Error object (e.g. the script contained a syntax
+ error, or tried to call a function that doesn't exist), we obtain
+ the line number and string representation of the error and display
+ it in a message box.
+
+ \snippet examples/script/helloscript/main.cpp 6
+
+ If the evaluation went well, the application event loop is entered.
+
+ \section1 Translating the Application
+
+ The Qt Script internalization support builds on what Qt already provides
+ for C++; see the \l{Hello tr() Example} for an introduction.
+
+ Since we haven't made the translation file \c helloscript_la.qm, the
+ source text is shown when we run the application ("Hello world!").
+
+ To generate the translation file, run \c lupdate as follows:
+
+ \code
+ lupdate helloscript.qs -ts helloscript_la.ts
+ \endcode
+
+ You should now have a file \c helloscript_la.ts in the current
+ directory. Run \c linguist to edit the translation:
+
+ \code
+ linguist helloscript_la.ts
+ \endcode
+
+ You should now see the text "helloscript.qs" in the top left pane.
+ Double-click it, then click on "Hello world!" and enter "Orbis, te
+ saluto!" in the \gui Translation pane (the middle right of the
+ window). Don't forget the exclamation mark!
+
+ Click the \gui Done checkbox and choose \gui File|Save from the
+ menu bar. The TS file will no longer contain
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_examples_hellotr.qdoc 3
+
+ but instead will have
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_examples_hellotr.qdoc 4
+
+ To see the application running in Latin, we have to generate a QM
+ file from the TS file. Generating a QM file can be achieved
+ either from within \e {Qt Linguist} (for a single TS file), or
+ by using the command line program \c lrelease which will produce one
+ QM file for each of the TS files listed in the project file.
+ Generate \c hellotr_la.qm from \c hellotr_la.ts by choosing
+ \gui File|Release from \e {Qt Linguist}'s menu bar and pressing
+ \gui Save in the file save dialog that pops up. Now run the \c helloscript
+ program again. This time the button will be labelled "Orbis, te
+ saluto!".
