Detailed Description

Loads a KControl Module.

KCModuleLoader tries in several ways to locate and load a KCModule. If loading fails a zero pointer is returned.
It is very unlikely KCModuleLoader is what you want and KCModuleProxy suits your needs.

Enumeration Type Documentation

ErrorReporting

enum KCModuleLoader::ErrorReporting

Determines the way errors are reported.

Enumerator
None	no error reporting is done
Inline	the error report is shown instead of the KCModule that should have * been loaded
Dialog	shows a dialog with the error report
Both	does both Inline and Dialog

Function Documentation

isDefaults()

bool KCModuleLoader::isDefaults	(	const KCModuleInfo &	module,
		const QStringList &	args = QStringList()
	)

For a specified module, return false if configuration is not the default one and true in all other case including if module is not found.

Parameters

module

what module to load

Returns

a boolean representing if module configuration is in default state

Since

5.74

Deprecated:

Since 5.88, use KPluginFactory::instantiatePlugin<KCModuleData> and save the result in a QScopedPointer instead

Definition at line 248 of file kcmoduleloader.cpp.

loadModule() [1/3]

KCModule * KCModuleLoader::loadModule	(	const KCModuleInfo &	module,
		ErrorReporting	report,
		QWidget *	parent = nullptr,
		const QStringList &	args = QStringList()
	)

Loads a KCModule.

If loading fails a zero pointer is returned.

Parameters

module	what module to load
report	see ErrorReporting

Returns

a pointer to the loaded KCModule

Deprecated:

Since 5.88, use loadModule(KPluginMetaData, QWidget *, QVariantList) instead

Definition at line 143 of file kcmoduleloader.cpp.

loadModule() [2/3]

KCModule * KCModuleLoader::loadModule	(	const KPluginMetaData &	metaData,
		QWidget *	parent = nullptr,
		const QVariantList &	args = {}
	)

Loads a KCModule.

If loading fails a KCM which displays an error message is returned. Starting from 5.91, the validity of the metaData parameter does not need to be checked when calling this function.

Parameters

metaData

KPluginMetaData for loading the plugin

Returns

a pointer to the loaded KCModule

Since

5.84

Definition at line 53 of file kcmoduleloader.cpp.

loadModule() [3/3]

QT_WARNING_PUSH KCModule * KCModuleLoader::loadModule	(	const QString &	module,
		ErrorReporting	report,
		QWidget *	parent = nullptr,
		const QStringList &	args = QStringList()
	)

Loads a KCModule.

If loading fails a zero pointer is returned.

Parameters

module	what module to load
report	see ErrorReporting

Returns

a pointer to the loaded KCModule

Deprecated:

Since 5.88, use loadModule(KPluginMetaData, QWidget *, QVariantList) instead

Definition at line 138 of file kcmoduleloader.cpp.

loadModuleData()

KCModuleData * KCModuleLoader::loadModuleData	(	const KCModuleInfo &	module,
		const QStringList &	args = QStringList()
	)

Loads a KCModuleData.

If fails to load, return nullptr.

Parameters

module

what module to load

Since

5.81

Deprecated:

Since 5.88, use KPluginFactory::instantiatePlugin<KCModuleData> instead

Definition at line 258 of file kcmoduleloader.cpp.

reportError()

KCModule * KCModuleLoader::reportError	(	ErrorReporting	report,
		const QString &	text,
		const QString &	details,
		QWidget *	parent
	)

Returns a KCModule containing the messages report and text.

Parameters

report	the type of error reporting, see ErrorReporting
text	the main message
details	any additional details

Definition at line 114 of file kcmoduleloader.cpp.

unloadModule()

void KCModuleLoader::unloadModule

(

const KCModuleInfo &

mod

)

Unloads the module's library.

Parameters

mod	What module to unload for

Deprecated:

Since 5.88, use QPluginLoader directly
