Detailed Description

The KInputDialog namespace provides simple dialogs to get a single value from the user.

The value can be a string, a number (either an integer or a float) or an item from a list.

Function Documentation

getDouble() [1/2]

double KInputDialog::getDouble	(	const QString &	caption,
		const QString &	label,
		double	value = 0,
		double	minValue = -DBL_MAX,
		double	maxValue = DBL_MAX,
		double	step = 0.1,
		int	decimals = 1,
		bool *	ok = nullptr,
		QWidget *	parent = nullptr
	)

Static convenience function to get a floating point number from the user.

caption is the text that is displayed in the title bar. label is the text that appears as the label for the spin box. value is the initial value for the spin box. minValue and maxValue are the minimum and maximum allowable values the user may choose. step is the amount by which the value will change as the user presses the increment and decrement buttons of the spin box.

Parameters

caption	Caption of the dialog
label	Text of the label for the spin box
value	Initial value of the spin box
minValue	Minimum value user can input
maxValue	Maximum value user can input
step	Amount by which value is incremented or decremented
decimals	Number of digits after the decimal point
ok	This bool would be set to true if user pressed Ok
parent	Parent of the dialog widget

Returns

Number user entered if Ok was pressed, else 0

Deprecated:

since 5.0, use QInputDialog::getDouble() instead

Definition at line 447 of file kinputdialog.cpp.

getDouble() [2/2]

double KInputDialog::getDouble	(	const QString &	caption,
		const QString &	label,
		double	value = 0,
		double	minValue = -DBL_MAX,
		double	maxValue = DBL_MAX,
		int	decimals = 1,
		bool *	ok = nullptr,
		QWidget *	parent = nullptr
	)

This is an overloaded convenience function.

It behaves exctly like the above function.

Deprecated:

since 5.0, use QInputDialog::getDouble() instead

Definition at line 467 of file kinputdialog.cpp.

getInteger() [1/2]

int KInputDialog::getInteger	(	const QString &	caption,
		const QString &	label,
		int	value = 0,
		int	minValue = INT_MIN,
		int	maxValue = INT_MAX,
		int	step = 1,
		bool *	ok = nullptr,
		QWidget *	parent = nullptr
	)

This is an overloaded convenience function.

It behaves exactly same as above except it assumes base to be 10, i.e. accepts decimal numbers.

Deprecated:

since 5.0, use QInputDialog::getInt() instead

Definition at line 440 of file kinputdialog.cpp.

getInteger() [2/2]

int KInputDialog::getInteger	(	const QString &	caption,
		const QString &	label,
		int	value = 0,
		int	minValue = INT_MIN,
		int	maxValue = INT_MAX,
		int	step = 1,
		int	base = 10,
		bool *	ok = nullptr,
		QWidget *	parent = nullptr
	)

Static convenience function to get an integer from the user.

caption is the text that is displayed in the title bar. label is the text that appears as the label for the spin box. value is the initial value for the spin box. minValue and maxValue are the minimum and maximum allowable values the user may choose. step is the amount by which the value will change as the user presses the increment and decrement buttons of the spin box. Base is the base of the number.

Parameters

caption	Caption of the dialog
label	Text of the label for the spin box
value	Initial value of the spin box
minValue	Minimum value user can input
maxValue	Maximum value user can input
step	Amount by which value is incremented or decremented
base	Base of the number
ok	This bool would be set to true if user pressed Ok
parent	Parent of the dialog widget

Returns

Number user entered if Ok was pressed, else 0

Deprecated:

since 5.0, use QInputDialog::getInt() instead

Definition at line 420 of file kinputdialog.cpp.

getItem()

QString KInputDialog::getItem	(	const QString &	caption,
		const QString &	label,
		const QStringList &	list,
		int	current = 0,
		bool	editable = false,
		bool *	ok = nullptr,
		QWidget *	parent = nullptr
	)

Static convenience function to let the user select an item from a list.

caption is the text that is displayed in the title bar. label is the text that appears as the label for the list. list is the string list which is inserted into the list, and current is the number of the item which should be the selected item. If editable is true, the user can enter his own text.

Parameters

caption	Caption of the dialog
label	Text of the label for the list
list	List of item for user to choose from
current	Index of the selected item
editable	If true, user can enter own text
ok	This bool would be set to true if user pressed Ok
parent	Parent of the dialog widget

Returns

Text of the selected item. If editable is true this can be a text entered by the user.

Deprecated:

since 5.0, use QInputDialog::getItem() instead

Definition at line 474 of file kinputdialog.cpp.

getItemList()

QStringList KInputDialog::getItemList	(	const QString &	caption,
		const QString &	label,
		const QStringList &	list = QStringList(),
		const QStringList &	select = QStringList(),
		bool	multiple = false,
		bool *	ok = nullptr,
		QWidget *	parent = nullptr
	)

Static convenience function to let the user select one or more items from a listbox.

caption is the text that is displayed in the title bar. label is the text that appears as the label for the listbox. list is the string list which is inserted into the listbox, select is the list of item(s) that should be the selected. If multiple is true, the user can select multiple items.

Parameters

caption	Caption of the dialog
label	Text of the label for the list
list	List of item for user to choose from
select	List of item(s) that should be selected
multiple	If true, user can select multiple items
ok	This bool would be set to true if user pressed Ok
parent	Parent of the dialog widget

Returns

List of selected items if multiple is true, else currently selected item as a QStringList

Deprecated:

since 5.0, use QInputDialog with the option UseListViewForComboBoxItems instead (yet only one item allowed)

Definition at line 502 of file kinputdialog.cpp.

getMultiLineText()

QString KInputDialog::getMultiLineText	(	const QString &	caption,
		const QString &	label,
		const QString &	value = QString(),
		bool *	ok = nullptr,
		QWidget *	parent = nullptr
	)

Static convenience function to get a multiline string from the user.

caption is the text that is displayed in the title bar. label is the text that appears as a label for the line edit. value is the initial value of the line edit. ok will be set to true if user pressed Ok and false if user pressed Cancel.

Parameters

caption	Caption of the dialog
label	Text of the label for the line edit
value	Initial value of the line edit
ok	This bool would be set to true if user pressed Ok
parent	Parent of the dialog widget

Returns

String user entered if Ok was pressed, else a null string

Deprecated:

since 5.0, use QInputDialog::getMultiLineText() instead

Definition at line 400 of file kinputdialog.cpp.

getText()

QString KInputDialog::getText	(	const QString &	caption,
		const QString &	label,
		const QString &	value = QString(),
		bool *	ok = nullptr,
		QWidget *	parent = nullptr,
		QValidator *	validator = nullptr,
		const QString &	mask = QString(),
		const QString &	whatsThis = QString(),
		const QStringList &	completionList = QStringList()
	)

Static convenience function to get a string from the user.

caption is the text that is displayed in the title bar. label is the text that appears as a label for the line edit. value is the initial value of the line edit. ok will be set to true if user pressed Ok and false if user pressed Cancel.

If you provide a validator, the Ok button is disabled as long as the validator doesn't return Acceptable. If there is no validator, the Ok button is enabled whenever the line edit isn't empty. If you want to accept empty input, create a trivial QValidator that always returns acceptable, e.g. QRegExpValidator with a regexp of ".*".

Parameters

caption	Caption of the dialog
label	Text of the label for the line edit
value	Initial value of the line edit
ok	This bool would be set to true if user pressed Ok
parent	Parent of the dialog widget
validator	A QValidator to be associated with the line edit
mask	Mask associated with the line edit. See the documentation for QLineEdit about masks
whatsThis	a QWhatsThis text for the input widget.
completionList	a list of items which should be used for input completion

Returns

String user entered if Ok was pressed, else a null string

Deprecated:

since 5.0, use QInputDialog::getText() instead; the returned value must be checked, because QInputDialog accepts also empty strings and does not use a QValidator object.
