## DESCRIPTION

The QGDict class is an internal class for implementing QDict template classes.

QGDict is a strictly internal class that acts as a base class for the collection classes QDict and QIntDict.

QGDict has some virtual functions that can be reimplemented to customize the subclasses.

- read() reads a collection/dictionary item from a QDataStream.

  - write() writes a collection/dictionary item to a QDataStream. Normally, you do not have to reimplement any of these functions.

  ## MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION

## QDataStream& QGDict::read ( QDataStream & s, QCollection::Item & item ) `[virtual protected]`

Reads a collection/dictionary item from the stream *s* and returns a reference to the stream.

The default implementation sets *item* to 0.

See also write().

## QDataStream& QGDict::write ( QDataStream & s, QCollection::Item ) const `[virtual protected]`

Writes a collection/dictionary item to the stream *s* and returns a reference to the stream.

See also read().

## QGDict::QGDict ( const QGDict & dict ) `[protected]`

For internal use only.

## QGDict::QGDict ( uint len, KeyType kt, bool caseSensitive, bool copyKeys ) `[protected]`

For internal use only.

## QGDict::~QGDict () `[protected]`

For internal use only.

## void QGDict::clear () `[virtual protected]`

For internal use only.

Reimplemented from QCollection.

## QCollection::Item QGDict::look\_string( const QString & key, QCollection::Item d, int op )

For internal use only.

## QGDict & QGDict::operator= ( const QGDict & dict ) `[protected]`
