Detailed Description

An action which can alternate between two texts/icons when triggered.

KDualAction should be used when you want to create an action which alternate between two states when triggered but which should not be rendered as a checkable widget because it is more appropriate to change the text and icon of the action instead.

You should use KDualAction to implement this kind of actions instead of KToggleAction because KToggleAction is rendered as a checkable widget: this means one of your state will have a checkbox in a menu and will be represented as a sunken button in a toolbar.

Porting from KToggleAction to KDualAction:

  1. If you used the KToggleAction constructor which accepts the action text, adjust the constructor: KDualAction constructor accepts both inactive and active text.
  2. Replace connections to the checked(bool) signal with a connection to the activeChanged(bool) (or activeChangedByUser(bool))
  3. Replace calls to setChecked()/isChecked() with setActive()/isActive()
  4. Replace calls to setCheckedState(guiItem) with setActiveGuiItem(guiItem)

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

KDualAction::KDualAction ( QObject *  parent)
explicit

Constructs a KDualAction with the specified parent.

Texts must be set with setTextForState() or setGuiItemForState().

Definition at line 71 of file kdualaction.cpp.

KDualAction::KDualAction ( const QString &  inactiveText,
const QString &  activeText,
QObject *  parent 
)

Constructs a KDualAction with the specified parent and texts.

Definition at line 61 of file kdualaction.cpp.

KDualAction::~KDualAction ( )

Definition at line 78 of file kdualaction.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

void KDualAction::activeChanged ( bool  )
signal

Emitted when the state changes.

This signal is emitted when the user trigger the action and when setActive() is called.

void KDualAction::activeChangedByUser ( bool  )
signal

Only emitted when the state changes because the user triggered the action.

KGuiItem KDualAction::activeGuiItem ( ) const

Gets the KGuiItem for the active state.

Definition at line 84 of file kdualaction.cpp.

QIcon KDualAction::activeIcon ( ) const

Gets the icon for the active state.

Definition at line 89 of file kdualaction.cpp.

QString KDualAction::activeText ( ) const

Gets the text for the active state.

Definition at line 94 of file kdualaction.cpp.

QString KDualAction::activeToolTip ( ) const

Gets the tooltip for the active state.

Definition at line 99 of file kdualaction.cpp.

bool KDualAction::autoToggle ( ) const

Returns whether the current action will automatically be changed when the user triggers this action.

The default value is true.

Definition at line 114 of file kdualaction.cpp.

KGuiItem KDualAction::inactiveGuiItem ( ) const

Gets the KGuiItem for the inactive state.

Definition at line 86 of file kdualaction.cpp.

QIcon KDualAction::inactiveIcon ( ) const

Gets the icon for the inactive state.

Definition at line 91 of file kdualaction.cpp.

QString KDualAction::inactiveText ( ) const

Gets the text for the inactive state.

Definition at line 96 of file kdualaction.cpp.

QString KDualAction::inactiveToolTip ( ) const

Gets the tooltip for the inactive state.

Definition at line 101 of file kdualaction.cpp.

bool KDualAction::isActive ( ) const

Returns the action state.

The action is inactive by default.

Definition at line 129 of file kdualaction.cpp.

void KDualAction::setActive ( bool  state)
slot

Sets the action state.

activeChanged() will be emitted but not activeChangedByUser().

Definition at line 119 of file kdualaction.cpp.

void KDualAction::setActiveGuiItem ( const KGuiItem &  item)

Sets the KGuiItem for the active state.

Definition at line 83 of file kdualaction.cpp.

void KDualAction::setActiveIcon ( const QIcon &  icon)

Sets the icon for the active state.

Definition at line 88 of file kdualaction.cpp.

void KDualAction::setActiveText ( const QString &  text)

Sets the text for the active state.

Definition at line 93 of file kdualaction.cpp.

void KDualAction::setActiveToolTip ( const QString &  toolTip)

Sets the tooltip for the active state.

Definition at line 98 of file kdualaction.cpp.

void KDualAction::setAutoToggle ( bool  value)

Defines whether the current action should automatically be changed when the user triggers this action.

Definition at line 109 of file kdualaction.cpp.

void KDualAction::setIconForStates ( const QIcon &  icon)

Convenience method to set the icon for both active and inactive states.

Definition at line 103 of file kdualaction.cpp.

void KDualAction::setInactiveGuiItem ( const KGuiItem &  item)

Sets the KGuiItem for the inactive state.

Definition at line 85 of file kdualaction.cpp.

void KDualAction::setInactiveIcon ( const QIcon &  icon)

Sets the icon for the inactive state.

Definition at line 90 of file kdualaction.cpp.

void KDualAction::setInactiveText ( const QString &  text)

Sets the text for the inactive state.

Definition at line 95 of file kdualaction.cpp.

void KDualAction::setInactiveToolTip ( const QString &  toolTip)

Sets the tooltip for the inactive state.

Definition at line 100 of file kdualaction.cpp.
