Detailed Description

 KXMLGUIClient ()

KXMLGUIClient

Constructs a KXMLGUIClient which can be used with a KXMLGUIFactory to create a GUI from actions and an XML document, and which can be dynamically merged with other KXMLGUIClients.

 KXMLGUIClient ( KXMLGUIClient *parent )

KXMLGUIClient

Constructs a KXMLGUIClient which can be used with a KXMLGUIFactory to create a GUI from actions and an XML document, and which can be dynamically merged with other KXMLGUIClients.

This constructor takes an additional parent argument, which makes the client a child client of the parent.

Child clients are automatically added to the GUI if the parent is added.

 ~KXMLGUIClient ()

~KXMLGUIClient

[virtual]

Destructor

KAction*  action ( const char* name )

action

[const]

Retrieve an action of the client by name. This method is provided for convenience, as it uses actionCollection() to get the action object.

KActionaction ( const QDomElement &element )

action

[const virtual]

Retrieve an action for a given QDomElement. The default implementation uses the "name" attribute to query the action object via the other action() method.

KActionCollection*  actionCollection ()

actionCollection

[const virtual]

Retrieve the entire action collection for the GUI client

KInstanceinstance ()

instance

[const virtual]

Returns: The instance (KInstance) for this part.

QDomDocument  domDocument ()

domDocument

[const virtual]

Returns: The parsed XML in a QDomDocument, set by setXMLFile() or setXML(). This document describes the layout of the GUI.

QString  xmlFile ()

xmlFile

[const virtual]

This will return the name of the XML file as set by setXMLFile(). If setXML() is used directly, then this will return NULL.

The filename that this returns is obvious for components as each component has exactly one XML file. In non-components, however, there are usually two: the global file and the local file. This function doesn't really care about that, though. It will always return the last XML file set. This, in almost all cases, will be the local XML file.

Returns: The name of the XML file or QString::null

QString  localXMLFile ()

localXMLFile

[const virtual]

void  setXMLGUIBuildDocument ( const QDomDocument &doc )

setXMLGUIBuildDocument

QDomDocument  xmlguiBuildDocument ()

xmlguiBuildDocument

[const]

void  setFactory ( KXMLGUIFactory *factory )

setFactory

This method is called by the KXMLGUIFactory as soon as the client is added to the KXMLGUIFactory's GUI.

KXMLGUIFactoryfactory ()

factory

[const]

Retrieve a pointer to the KXMLGUIFactory this client is associated with (will return 0L if the client's GUI has not been built by a KXMLGUIFactory.

KXMLGUIClientparentClient ()

parentClient

[const]

KXMLGUIClients can form a simple child/parent object tree. This method returns a pointer to the parent client or 0L if it has no parent client assigned.

void  insertChildClient ( KXMLGUIClient *child )

insertChildClient

Use this method to make a client a child client of another client. Usually you don't need to call this method, as it is called automatically when using the second constructor, which takes a arent argument.

void  removeChildClient ( KXMLGUIClient *child )

removeChildClient

Remove the given child from the client's children list.

const QList<KXMLGUIClient> * childClients ()

childClients

Retrieve a list of all child clients.

void  setClientBuilder ( KXMLGUIBuilder *builder )

setClientBuilder

A client can have an own KXMLGUIBuilder. Use this method to assign your builder instance to the client (so that the KXMLGUIFactory can use it when building the client's GUI)

Client specific guibuilders are useful if you want to create custom container widgets for your GUI.

KXMLGUIBuilderclientBuilder ()

clientBuilder

[const]

Retrieve the client's GUI builder or 0L if no client specific uilder has been assigned via setClientBuilder()

void  reloadXML ()

reloadXML

Force this client to re-read its XML resource file. This is intended to be used when you know that the resource file has changed and you will soon be rebuilding the GUI. It has no useful effect with non-KParts GUIs, so don't bother using it unless your app is component based.

void  plugActionList ( const QString &name, const QList<KAction> &actionList )

plugActionList

void  unplugActionList ( const QString &name )

unplugActionList

QString  findMostRecentXMLFile ( const QStringList &files, QString &doc )

findMostRecentXMLFile

[static]

void  setInstance ( KInstance *instance )

setInstance

[protected virtual]

Set the instance (KInstance) for this part.

Call this first in the inherited class constructor. (At least before setXMLFile().)

void  setXMLFile ( const QString& file, bool merge = false, bool setXMLDoc = true )

setXMLFile

[protected virtual]

Set the name of the rc file containing the XML for the part.

Call this in the Part-inherited class constructor.

Parameters:
fileEither an absolute path for the file, or simply the filename, which will then be assumed to be installed in the "data" resource, under a directory named like the instance.
setXMLSpecify whether to call setXML. Default is true. and the DOM document at once.

void  setLocalXMLFile ( const QString &file )

setLocalXMLFile

[protected virtual]

void  setXML ( const QString &document, bool merge = false )

setXML

[protected virtual]

Set the XML for the part.

Call this in the Part-inherited class constructor if you don't call setXMLFile().

void  setDOMDocument ( const QDomDocument &document, bool merge = false )

setDOMDocument

[protected virtual]

Set the Document for the part, describing the layout of the GUI.

Call this in the Part-inherited class constructor if you don't call setXMLFile or setXML .

void  conserveMemory ()

conserveMemory

[protected virtual]

This function will attempt to give up some memory after the GUI is built. It should never be used in apps where the GUI may be rebuilt at some later time (components, for instance).
