Detailed Description

A widget that provides in-place-editable text.

The WInPlaceEdit provides a text that may be edited in place by the user by clicking on it. When clicked, the text turns into a line edit with a save and cancel button.

When the user saves the edit, the valueChanged signal is emitted.

Example:

   // ..

   new WText("Name: ", app->root());
   WInPlaceEdit *edit = new WInPlaceEdit("Bob Smith", app->root());
   edit->setStyleClass("inplace");

   // ...

   // the corresponding style sheet, e.g. using an inline stylesheet
   app->styleSheet().addRule("*.inplace span:hover",
                             "background-color: gray");

   // ...

This code will produce an edit that looks like:

WInPlaceEdit text mode

When the text is clicked, the edit will expand to become:
