KDE 4.7 PyKDE API Reference
KTipDatabase Class Reference
from PyKDE4.kdeui import *
Detailed Description
A database for tips-of-the-day.
This class provides convenient access to a database containing tips of the day. The database is stored in a XML file and parsed when a KTipDatabase object is created.
Once the file is read in, you can access the tips to display them in the tip of the day dialog.
The state of the tipdialog is saved to the applications's config file in the group "TipOfDay" with a bool entry "RunOnStart". Check this value if you want to allow the user to enable/disable the tipdialog in the application's configuration dialog.
