Static Method Documentation

QString FormDataFolder (   )

The standardized name of the form data folder. It is automatically created when a wallet is created, but the user may still delete it so you should check for its existence and recreate it if necessary and desired.

QString LocalWallet (   )

The name of the wallet used to store local passwords.

QString NetworkWallet (   )

The name of the wallet used to store network passwords.

QString PasswordFolder (   )

The standardized name of the password folder. It is automatically created when a wallet is created, but the user may still delete it so you should check for its existence and recreate it if necessary and desired.

changePassword ( QString  name,
int  w
)

Request to the wallet service to change the password of the wallet name.

Parameters:
name  The the wallet to change the password of.
w  The window id to associate any dialogs with. You can pass 0 if you don't have a window the password dialog should associate with.

int closeWallet ( QString  name,
bool  force
)

Close the wallet name. The wallet will only be closed if it is open but not in use (rare), or if it is forced closed.

Parameters:
name  The name of the wallet to close.
force  Set true to force the wallet closed even if it is in use by others.

Returns:
Returns 0 on success, non-zero on error.

int deleteWallet ( QString  name
)

Delete the wallet name. The wallet will be forced closed first.

Parameters:
name  The name of the wallet to delete.

Returns:
Returns 0 on success, non-zero on error.

bool disconnectApplication ( QString  wallet,
QString  app
)

Disconnect the application app from wallet.

Parameters:
wallet  The name of the wallet to disconnect.
app  The name of the application to disconnect.

Returns:
Returns true on success, false on error.

bool folderDoesNotExist ( QString  wallet,
QString  folder
)

Determine if a folder does not exist in a wallet. This does not require decryption of the wallet. This is a handy optimization to avoid prompting the user if your data is certainly not in the wallet.

Parameters:
wallet  The wallet to look in.
folder  The folder to look up.

Returns:
Returns true if the folder does NOT exist in the wallet, or the wallet does not exist.

bool isEnabled (   )

Determine if the KDE wallet is enabled. Normally you do not need to use this because openWallet() will just fail.

Returns:
Returns true if the wallet enabled, else false.

bool isOpen ( QString  name
)

Determine if the current wallet is open, and is a valid wallet handle.

Returns:
Returns true if the wallet handle is valid and open.

bool keyDoesNotExist ( QString  wallet,
QString  folder,
QString  key
)

Determine if an entry in a folder does not exist in a wallet. This does not require decryption of the wallet. This is a handy optimization to avoid prompting the user if your data is certainly not in the wallet.

Parameters:
wallet  The wallet to look in.
folder  The folder to look in.
key  The key to look up.

Returns:
Returns true if the key does NOT exist in the wallet, or the folder or wallet does not exist.

KWallet.Wallet openWallet ( QString  name,
int  w,
KWallet.Wallet.OpenType  ot=KWallet.Wallet.Synchronous
)

Open the wallet name. The user will be prompted to allow your application to open the wallet, and may be prompted for a password. You are responsible for deleting this object when you are done with it.

Parameters:
name  The name of the wallet to open.
ot  If Asynchronous, the call will return immediately with a non-null pointer to an invalid wallet. You must immediately connect the walletOpened() signal to a slot so that you will know when it is opened, or when it fails.
w  The window id to associate any dialogs with. You can pass 0 if you don't have a window the password dialog should associate with.

Returns:
Returns a pointer to the wallet if successful, or a null pointer on error or if rejected.

QStringList users ( QString  wallet
)

List the applications that are using the wallet wallet.

Parameters:
wallet  The wallet to query.

Returns:
Returns a list of all DCOP application IDs using the wallet.

QStringList walletList (   )

List all the wallets available.

Returns:
Returns a list of the names of all wallets that are open.
