KCharSelect Class Reference

from PyKDE4.kdeui import *

Inherits: QWidget → QObject

Detailed Description

Character selection widget

This widget allows the user to select a character of a specified font and to browse Unicode information

"Character Selection Widget"

You can specify the font whose characters should be displayed via setCurrentFont(). Using the Controls argument in the contructor you can create a compact version of KCharSelect if there is not enough space and if you don't need all features.

KCharSelect displays one Unicode block at a time and provides categorized access to them. Unicode character names and further details, including cross references, are displayed. Additionally, there is a search to find characters.

To get the current selected character, use the currentChar() method. You can set the character which should be displayed with setCurrentChar().
