KFindDialog Class Reference

from PyKDE4.kdeui import *

Inherits: KDialog → QDialog → QWidget → QObject
Subclasses: KReplaceDialog

Detailed Description

A generic "find" dialog.

Author:
S.R.Haque <srhaque@iee.org>

Detail:

This widget inherits from KDialog and implements the following additional functionalities: a find string object and an area for a user-defined widget to extend the dialog.

Example:

To use the basic modal find dialog, and then run the search:

  KFindDialog dlg(....)
  if ( dlg.exec() != QDialog.Accepted )
      return;

  // proceed with KFind from here

To create a non-modal find dialog:

   if ( m_findDia )
     KWindowSystem.activateWindow( m_findDia->winId() );
   else
   {
     m_findDia = new KFindDialog(false,...);
     connect( m_findDia, SIGNAL(okClicked()), this, SLOT(findTextNext()) );
   }
Don't forget to delete and reset m_findDia when closed. (But do NOT delete your KFind object at that point, it's needed for "Find Next")

To use your own extensions: see findExtension().
