KActionCategory Class Reference

from PyKDE4.kdeui import *

Inherits: QObject

Detailed Description

Categorize actions for KShortcutsEditor.

KActionCategory provides a second level to organize the actions in KShortcutsEditor.

The first possibility is using more than one action collection. Each actions collection becomes a top level node.

+ action collection 1 + first action + second action + third action + action collection 2 + first action + second action + third action

Using KActionCategory it's possible to group the actions of one collection. + action collection 1 + first action + first category + action 1 in category + action 2 in category + second action

Usage

The usage is analog to action collections. Just create a category and use it instead of the collection to create the actions.

The synchronization between KActionCollection and KActionCategory is done internally. There is for example no need to remove actions from a category. It is done implicitely if the action is removed from the associated collection.


 KActionCategory *file = new KActionCategory(i18n("File"), actionCollection());
 file->addAction(
      KStandardAction.New,   //< see KStandardAction
      this,                   //< Receiver
      SLOT(fileNew()));       //< SLOT

 ... more actions added to file ...

 KActionCategory *edit = new KActionCategory(i18n("Edit"), actionCollection());
 edit->addAction(
      KStandardAction.Copy,  //< see KStandardAction
      this,                   //< Receiver
      SLOT(fileNew()));       //< SLOT
