EntityTreeViewStateSaver Class Reference

from PyKDE4.akonadi import *

Inherits: QObject
Namespace: Akonadi

Detailed Description

A helper class that saves and restores state of an EntityTreeView

This class saves and restores the state of a QTreeView showing an EntityTreeModel, or whatever proxies are stacked on top of one. State so far means the current selection and expansion of the items and collections.

The EntityTreeViewStateSaver is needed because populating the EntityTreeModel is asynchronous and finding the right point in time to restore the state is a difficult task that is hidden inside this class.

Example:


 class MyWidget : public QWidget
 {
   public:
      MyWidget( QWidget* parent );
      ~MyWidget();

      ...

   private:
     KConfig *mGlobalConfig;
     QTreeView *mTreeView;
     Akonadi.EntityTreeViewStateSaver *mStateSaver;
 };

 MyWidget.MyWidget( QWidget *parent )
   : QWidget( parent )
 {
   mGlobalConfig = ...
   mTreeView = new QTreeView( this );
   ...

   mStateSaver = new Akonadi.EntityTreeViewStateSaver( mTreeView );

   KConfigGroup group( mGlobalConfig, "treeViewState" );
   mStateSaver->restoreState( group );
 }

 MyWidget.~MyWidget()
 {
   KConfigGroup group( mGlobalConfig, "treeViewState" );
   mStateSaver->saveState( group );
 }

Method Documentation

__init__ (  self,
QTreeView  view
)

Creates a new state saver, for saving or restoring.

Parameters:
view  The QTreeView which state should be saved/restored.

restoreState (  self,
KConfigGroup  configGroup
)

Restore the state stored in configGroup as soon as the corresponding entities become available in the model (the model is populated asynchronously, which is the main reason why you want to use this class).

Parameters:
configGroup  Config file group containing a previously stored EntityTreeView state.

saveState (  self,
KConfigGroup  configGroup

Stores the current state in the given config group.
