Detailed Description

The manager that knows all dockwidgets and handles the dock process (and member of the dockwidget class set).

More or less a helper class for the K3DockWidget class set but of interest for some functionality that can be called within a K3DockMainWindow or a K3DockWidget .

An important feature is the ability to read or save the current state of all things concerning to dockwidgets to KConfig .

The dockmanager is also often used when a certain dockwidget or a child of such dockwidget must be found.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

K3DockManager::K3DockManager	(	QWidget *	mainWindow,
		const char *	name = 0L
	)

Constructs a dockmanager.

Some initialization happen:

• It installs an event filter for the main window,
• a control list for dock objects
• a control list for menu items concerning to menus provided by the dockmanager
• Some state variables are set

Parameters

mainWindow	the main window controlled by this
name	the internal QOject name

Definition at line 1731 of file k3dockwidget.cpp.

K3DockManager::~K3DockManager ( )

virtual

Destructs a dockmanager.

Definition at line 1785 of file k3dockwidget.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

void K3DockManager::activate

(

)

Shows all encapsulated widgets of all controlled dockwidgets and shows all dockwidgets which are parent of a dockwidget tab group.

Definition at line 1802 of file k3dockwidget.cpp.

void K3DockManager::change ( )

signal

Signals changes of the docking state of a dockwidget.

Usually the dock-toolbar will be updated then.

Q3PopupMenu * K3DockManager::dockHideShowMenu

(

)

const

Returns

the popupmenu for showing/hiding dockwidgets

Definition at line 3081 of file k3dockwidget.cpp.

void K3DockManager::dumpDockWidgets

(

)

Definition at line 2975 of file k3dockwidget.cpp.

bool K3DockManager::eventFilter ( QObject *  object, QEvent *  event  )

virtual

It's more or less a method that catches several events which are interesting for the dockmanager.

Mainly mouse events during the drag process of a dockwidgets are of interest here.

Parameters

object	the object that sends the event
event	the event

Returns

the return value of the method call of the base class method

Reimplemented from QObject.

Definition at line 1815 of file k3dockwidget.cpp.

K3DockWidget * K3DockManager::findWidgetParentDock

(

QWidget *

w

)

const

This method finds out what a widgets' dockwidget is.

That means the dockmanager has a look at all dockwidgets it knows and tells you when one of those dockwidgets covers the given widget.

Parameters

w	any widget that is supposed to be encapsulated by one of the controlled dockwidgets

Returns

the dockwidget that encapsulates that widget, otherwise 0

Definition at line 3062 of file k3dockwidget.cpp.

void K3DockManager::finishReadDockConfig

(

)

Definition at line 2627 of file k3dockwidget.cpp.

K3DockWidget * K3DockManager::getDockWidgetFromName

(

const QString &

dockName

)

Parameters

dockName

an internal QObject name

Returns

the dockwidget that has got that internal QObject name

Definition at line 2986 of file k3dockwidget.cpp.

void K3DockManager::makeWidgetDockVisible

(

QWidget *

w

)

Works like makeDockVisible() but can be called for widgets that covered by a dockwidget.

Parameters

w	the widget that is encapsulated by a dockwidget that turns to visible.

Definition at line 3076 of file k3dockwidget.cpp.

void K3DockManager::readConfig	(	KConfig *	c = 0L,
		const QString &	group = QString()
	)

Like writeConfig but reads the whole stuff in.

In order to restore a window configuration from a config file, it looks up widgets by name (QObject::name) in the childDock variable of K3DockManager. This list in turn contains all K3DockWidgets (according to the K3DockWidget constructor). So in principle, in order to restore a window layout, one must first construct all widgets, put each of them in a K3DockWidget and then call readConfig(). And for all that to work, each widget must have a unique name.

Parameters

c	the KDE configuration saver
group	the name of the section in KConfig

Definition at line 2788 of file k3dockwidget.cpp.

void K3DockManager::readConfig

(

QDomElement &

base

)

Reads the current dock window layout from a DOM tree below the given element.

Definition at line 2423 of file k3dockwidget.cpp.

void K3DockManager::removeFromAutoCreateList

(

K3DockWidget *

pDockWidget

)

Definition at line 2621 of file k3dockwidget.cpp.

void K3DockManager::replaceDock ( K3DockWidget *  oldDock, K3DockWidget *  newDock  )

signal

Signals a dockwidget is replaced with another one.

void K3DockManager::setDockDefaultPos ( K3DockWidget *  )

signal

Signals a dockwidget without parent (toplevel) is shown.

void K3DockManager::setSplitterHighResolution

(

bool

b = true

)

Operate the splitter with a higher resolution.

Off by default. Call this method before you create any dock widgets! If high resolution is used all splitter position parameters are percent*100 instead of percent.

Note

Since KDE 3.5 this is ignored. Internally the splitter always calcualtes in high resolution values. For KDE 4, this will be removed.

Definition at line 3024 of file k3dockwidget.cpp.

void K3DockManager::setSplitterKeepSize

(

bool

b = true

)

Try to preserve the widget's size.

Works like KeepSize resize mode of QSplitter. Off by default. Call this method before you create any dock widgets!

Definition at line 3014 of file k3dockwidget.cpp.

void K3DockManager::setSplitterOpaqueResize

(

bool

b = true

)

Enables opaque resizing.

Opaque resizing defaults to KGlobalSettings::opaqueResize(). Call this method before you create any dock widgets!

Definition at line 3004 of file k3dockwidget.cpp.

bool K3DockManager::splitterHighResolution

(

)

const

Returns true if the splitter uses the high resolution, false otherwise.

Definition at line 3029 of file k3dockwidget.cpp.

bool K3DockManager::splitterKeepSize

(

)

const

Returns true if the KeepSize is enabled, false otherwise.

Definition at line 3019 of file k3dockwidget.cpp.

bool K3DockManager::splitterOpaqueResize

(

)

const

Returns true if opaque resizing is enabled, false otherwise.

Definition at line 3009 of file k3dockwidget.cpp.

void K3DockManager::virtual_hook ( int  id, void *  data  )

protectedvirtual

Definition at line 3460 of file k3dockwidget.cpp.

void K3DockManager::writeConfig	(	KConfig *	c = 0L,
		const QString &	group = QString()
	)

Saves the current state of the dockmanager and of all controlled widgets.

State means here to save the geometry, visibility, parents, internal object names, orientation, separator positions, dockwidget-group information, tab widget states (if it is a tab group) and last but not least some necessary things for recovering the dockmainwindow state.

Parameters

c	the KDE configuration saver
group	the name of the section in KConfig

Definition at line 2639 of file k3dockwidget.cpp.

void K3DockManager::writeConfig

(

QDomElement &

base

)

Saves the current dock window layout into a DOM tree below the given element.

Definition at line 2307 of file k3dockwidget.cpp.
