KAssistantDialog Class Reference

from PyKDE4.kdeui import *

Inherits: KPageDialog → KDialog → QDialog → QWidget → QObject

Detailed Description

This class provides a framework for assistant dialogs.

The use of this class is the same as KWizard in KDE3. You should use the word "assistant" instead of "wizard" both in the source and translatable strings.

An assistant dialog consists of a sequence of pages. Its purpose is to walk the user (assist) through a process step by step. Assistant dialogs are useful for complex or infrequently occurring tasks that people may find difficult to learn or do. Sometimes a task requires too many input fields to fit them on a single dialog.

KAssistantDialog provides page titles and displays Next, Back, Finish, Cancel, and Help push buttons, as appropriate to the current position in the page sequence. The Finish Button has the code KDialog.User1, The Next button is KDialog.User2 and the Back button is KDialog.User3. The help button may be hidden using showButton(KDialog.Help, false)

Create and populate dialog pages that inherit from QWidget and add them to the assistant dialog using addPage().

The functions next() and back() are virtual and may be reimplemented to override the default actions of the next and back buttons.

Method Documentation

__init__	(	self,
		QWidget	parent=0,
		Qt.WFlags	flags=0
	)

Construct a new assistant dialog with parent as parent.

Parameters:

parent

is the parent of the widget.

flags - the window flags to give to the assistant dialog. The default of zero is usually what you want.

__init__	(	self,
		KPageWidget	widget,
		QWidget	parent=0,
		Qt.WFlags	flags=0
	)

Construct an assistant dialog from a single widget.

Parameters:

	widget	the widget to construct the dialog with
	parent	the parent of the assistant dialog

flags - the window flags to use when creating the widget. The default of zero is usually fine.

Calls the KPageDialog(KPageWidget *widget, QWidget *parent, Qt.WFlags flags) constructor

__init__	(	self,
		KAssistantDialog	a0
	)

back ( self )

Called when the user clicks the Back button.

This function will show the preceding relevant page in the sequence. Do nothing if the current page is the first page is the sequence.

bool isAppropriate	(	self,
		KPageWidgetItem	page
	)

Check if a page is appropriate for use in the assistant dialog.

Parameters:

page

is the page to check the appropriateness of.

Returns:: true if page is appropriate, false if it is not

bool isValid	(	self,
		KPageWidgetItem	page
	)

return if a page is valid

See also:: setValid

Parameters:

page

the page to check the validity of

next ( self )

Called when the user clicks the Next/Finish button.

This function will show the next relevant page in the sequence. If the current page is the last page, it will call accept()

setAppropriate	(	self,
		KPageWidgetItem	page,
		bool	appropriate
	)

Specify whether a page is appropriate.

A page is considered inappropriate if it should not be shown due to the contents of other pages making it inappropriate.

A page which is inappropriate will not be shown.

The last page in an assistant dialog should always be appropriate

Parameters:

	page	the page to set as appropriate
	appropriate	flag indicating the appropriateness of the page. If appropriate is true, then page is appropriate and will be shown in the assistant dialog. If false, page will not be shown.

setValid	(	self,
		KPageWidgetItem	page,
		bool	enable
	)

Specify if the content of the page is valid, and if the next button may be enabled on this page. By default all pages are valid.

This will disable or enable the next button on the specified page

Parameters:

	page	the page on which the next button will be enabled/disable
	enable	if true the next button will be enabled, if false it will be disabled

showEvent	(	self,
		QShowEvent	event
	)
