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.

Definition at line 53 of file kconfiggroup.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

KConfigGroup::KConfigGroup ( )

Constructs an invalid group.

isValid

Definition at line 441 of file kconfiggroup.cpp.

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

Construct a config group corresponding to group in master.

This allows the creation of subgroups by passing another group as master.

group is the group name encoded in UTF-8.

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 = config->readEntry(key, computedDefault);

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

if ( (value == computedDefault) && !config->hasDefault(key) )
config->revertToDefault(key)
else
config->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
keythe 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 1140 of file kconfiggroup.cpp.

bool KConfigGroup::hasDefault ( const char *  key) const

Overload for hasDefault(const QString&) const.

bool KConfigGroup::hasGroupImpl ( const QByteArray &  group) const
protectedvirtual

Implements KConfigBase.

Definition at line 1196 of file kconfiggroup.cpp.

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
keythe key to search for
Returns
true if the key is defined in this group by any of the configuration sources, false otherwise

readEntry()

Definition at line 1156 of file kconfiggroup.cpp.

bool KConfigGroup::isEntryImmutable ( const QString &  key) const

Checks if it is possible to change the given entry.

If isImmutable() returns true, then this method will return true for all inputs.

Parameters

false if the key may be changed using this configuration group object, true otherwise

Definition at line 632 of file kconfiggroup.cpp.

bool KConfigGroup::isEntryImmutable ( const char *  key) const

Returns
false if the group may be changed, true otherwise

Implements KConfigBase.

Definition at line 1161 of file kconfiggroup.cpp.

bool KConfigGroup::isValid ( ) const

KConfigGroup KConfigGroup::parent ( ) const

Returns the group that this group belongs to.

Returns

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, Rect, Size, Color, Int, UInt, Bool, Double, LongLong, ULongLong, DateTime and Date.
Parameters
keyThe key to search for
aDefaultA default value returned if the key was not found
Returns
The value for this key, or aDefault.

void KConfigGroup::revertToDefault ( const QString &  key)

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
keyThe key of the entry to revert.

void KConfigGroup::writePathEntry ( const QString &  pKey,
const QString &  path,
WriteConfigFlags  pFlags = Normal 
)

Writes a file path to the configuration.

If the path is located under $HOME, the user's home directory is replaced with $HOME in the persistent storage. The path should therefore be read back with readPathEntry()

Parameters
pKeythe key to write to
paththe path to write
pFlagsthe flags to use when writing this entry

writeEntry(), readPathEntry()

)

Writes a list of paths to the configuration.

If any of the paths are located under $HOME, the user's home directory is replaced with $HOME in the persistent storage. The paths should therefore be read back with readPathEntry()

Parameters
pKeythe key to write to
valuethe list to write
pFlagsthe flags to use when writing this entry
