KDataToolAction Class Reference

from PyKDE4.kio import *

Inherits: KAction → QWidgetAction → QAction → QObject

Detailed Description

This class helps applications implement support for KDataTool. The steps to follow are simple:

query for the available tools using KDataToolInfo.query

pass the result to KDataToolAction.dataToolActionList (with a slot)

plug the resulting actions, either using KXMLGUIClient.plugActionList, or by hand.

The slot defined for step 2 is called when the action is activated, and that's where the tool should be created and run.

Signals
	toolActivated (KDataToolInfo info, QString command)
Methods
	__init__ (self, QString text, KDataToolInfo info, QString command, QObject parent)
	slotActivated (self)
Static Methods
[QAction]	dataToolActionList ([KDataToolInfo] tools, QObject receiver, QString slot, KActionCollection parent)

Emitted when a tool has been activated.

Parameters:

	info	a description of the activated tools
	command	the command for the tool

Signal syntax:: QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("toolActivated(const KDataToolInfo&, const QString&)"), target_slot)

Constructs a new KDataToolAction.

Parameters:

	text	The text that will be displayed
	info	The corresponding KDataToolInfo
	command	The command of the action
	parent	This action's parent
	name	The name of the action

slotActivated ( self )

[QAction] dataToolActionList	(	[KDataToolInfo]	tools,
		QObject	receiver,
		QString	slot,
		KActionCollection	parent
	)

Creates a list of actions from a list of information about data-tools. The slot must have a signature corresponding to the toolActivated signal.

Note that it's the caller's responsibility to delete the actions when they're not needed anymore.

Parameters:

	tools	the list of data tool descriptions
	receiver	the receiver for toolActivated() signals
	slot	the slot that will receive the toolActivated() signals
	parent	the parent action collection for the actions to be created
