Detailed Description

The FormDialog class provides access to KDialog objects as top-level containers.

Example (in Python) :

import Kross
import sys,os
ourPath=(filter(lambda p: os.path.exists(p+'/mywidget.ui'),sys.path)+[''])[0]
forms = Kross.module("forms")
mydialog = forms.createDialog("MyDialog")
mydialog.setButtons("Ok|Cancel")
mydialog.setFaceType("Plain") #Auto Plain List Tree Tabbed
mypage = mydialog.addPage("name","header")
mywidget = forms.createWidgetFromUIFile(mypage, ourPath+'/mywidget.ui')
mywidget["lineEdit"].setText("some string")
if mydialog.exec_loop():
    if mydialog.result() == "Ok":
        print mywidget["lineEdit"].text
mydialog.deleteLater()

Member Function Documentation

QWidget * FormDialog::addPage ( const QString &  name, const QString &  header = QString(), const QString &  iconname = QString()  )

slot

Add and return a new page.

Parameters

name	The name the page has. This name is for example returned at the currentPage() method and should be unique. The name is also used to display a short title for the page.
header	The longer header title text used for display purposes.
iconname	The name of the icon which the page have. This could be for example "about_kde", "document-open", "configure" or any other iconname known by KDE.

Returns

the new QWidget page instance.

Definition at line 433 of file form.cpp.

QString FormDialog::currentPage ( ) const

slot

Returns

the name of the currently selected page. Use the page() method to get the matching page QWidget instance.

Definition at line 396 of file form.cpp.

int Kross::FormDialog::exec ( )

inlineslot

Shows the dialog as a modal dialog, blocking until the user closes it and returns the execution result.

Returns

>=1 if the dialog was accepted (e.g. "Ok" pressed) else the user rejected the dialog (e.g. by pressing "Cancel" or just closing the dialog by pressing the escape-key).

Definition at line 325 of file form.h.

int Kross::FormDialog::exec_loop ( )

inlineslot

Same as the exec() method above provided for Python-lovers (python does not like functions named "exec" and PyQt named it "exec_loop", so just let's do the same).

Definition at line 332 of file form.h.

QWidget * FormDialog::page ( const QString &  name ) const

slot

Returns

the QWidget page instance which has the pagename name or NULL if there exists no such page.

Definition at line 410 of file form.cpp.

QString FormDialog::result ( )

Returns

the result. The result may for example "Ok", "Cancel", "Yes" or "No".

Definition at line 443 of file form.cpp.

bool FormDialog::setButtons ( const QString &  buttons )

bool FormDialog::setButtonText ( const QString &  button, const QString &  text  )

Sample how to change the buttons of a dialog;

Definition at line 384 of file form.cpp.
