Detailed Description

A class for one specific group in a KConfig object.

If you want to access the top-level entries of a KConfig object, which are not associated with any group, use an empty group name.

A KConfigGroup will be read-only if it is constructed from a const config object or from another read-only group.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

KConfigGroup() [1/5]

KConfigGroup::KConfigGroup

(

)

Constructs an invalid group.

isValid

Definition at line 445 of file kconfiggroup.cpp.

KConfigGroup() [2/5]

KConfigGroup::KConfigGroup	(	KConfigBase *	master,
		const QString &	group )

Construct a config group corresponding to group in master.

KConfigGroup() [3/5]

KConfigGroup::KConfigGroup	(	const KConfigBase *	master,

hasDefault() [1/2]

bool KConfigGroup::hasDefault

(

const char *

key

)

const

Overload for hasDefault(const QString&) const.

Parameters

key	name of key, encoded in UTF-8

Definition at line 1105 of file kconfiggroup.cpp.

hasDefault() [2/2]

bool KConfigGroup::hasDefault

(

const QString &

key

)

const

Whether a default is specified for an entry in either the system wide configuration file or the global KDE config file.

If an application computes a default value at runtime for a certain entry, e.g. like:

QColor computedDefault = qApp->palette().color(QPalette::Active, QPalette::Text);
QColor color = group.readEntry(key, computedDefault);

then it may wish to make the following check before writing back changes:

if ( (value == computedDefault) && !group.hasDefault(key) )
   group.revertToDefault(key);
else
   group.writeEntry(key, value);

This ensures that as long as the entry is not modified to differ from the computed default, the application will keep using the computed default and will follow changes the computed default makes over time.

Parameters

key	the key of the entry to check

Returns

true if the global or system settings files specify a default for key in this group, false otherwise

Definition at line 1114 of file kconfiggroup.cpp.

hasGroupImpl()

bool KConfigGroup::hasGroupImpl ( const QString & groupName ) const

overrideprotectedvirtual

Parameters

groupName

name of group

Implements KConfigBase.

Definition at line 1171 of file kconfiggroup.cpp.

hasKey() [1/2]

bool KConfigGroup::hasKey

(

const char *

key

)

const

Overload for hasKey(const QString&) const.

Parameters

key	name of key, encoded in UTF-8

Definition at line 1119 of file kconfiggroup.cpp.

hasKey() [2/2]

bool KConfigGroup::hasKey

(

const QString &

key

)

const

Checks whether the key has an entry in this group.

Use this to determine if a key is not specified for the current group (hasKey() returns false).

If this returns false for a key, readEntry() (and its variants) will return the default value passed to them.

Parameters

key	the key to search for

Returns

true if the key is defined in this group by any of the configuration sources, false otherwise

Overload for readEntry(const QString&, const QStringList&) const.

Parameters

key	name of key, encoded in UTF-8

Warning

This function doesn't convert the items returned to any type. It's actually a list of QVariant::String's. If you want the items converted to a specific type use readEntry(const char*, const QList<T>&) const

Definition at line 719 of file kconfiggroup.cpp.

readEntry() [14/14]

template<typename T >

T KConfigGroup::readEntry ( const QString & key, const T & aDefault ) const

inline

Reads the value of an entry specified by pKey in the current group.

This template method makes it possible to write QString foo = readEntry("...", QString("default")); and the same with all other types supported by QVariant.

The return type of the method is simply the same as the type of the default value.

Note

readEntry("...", Qt::white) will not compile because Qt::white is an enum. You must turn it into readEntry("...", QColor(Qt::white)).

Only the following QVariant types are allowed : String, StringList, List, Font, Point, PointF, Rect, RectF, Size, SizeF, Color, Int, UInt, Bool, Double, LongLong, ULongLong, DateTime and Date.

Parameters

key	The key to search for
aDefault	A default value returned if the key was not found

Returns

The value for this key, or aDefault.

		WriteConfigFlags	pFlag = WriteConfigFlags() )

Reverts an entry to the default settings.

Reverts the entry with key key in the current group in the application specific config file to either the system wide (default) value or the value specified in the global KDE config file.

To revert entries in the global KDE config file, the global KDE config file should be opened explicitly in a separate config object.

Note

This is not the same as deleting the key, as instead the global setting will be copied to the configuration file that this object manipulates.

Parameters

key	The key of the entry to revert.

pKey	the key to write to
path	the path to write
pFlags	the flags to use when writing this entry
