Detailed Description

The base Applet class.

Applet provides several important roles for add-ons widgets in Plasma.

First, it is the base class for the plugin system and therefore is the interface to applets for host applications. Background painting (allowing for consistent and complex look and feel in just one line of code for applets), loading and starting of scripting support for each applet, providing access to the associated plasmoid package (if any) and access to configuration data.

See techbase.kde.org for tutorials on writing Applets using this class.

Definition at line 667 of file applet.cpp.

◆ restore()

void Plasma::Applet::restore ( KConfigGroup & group)
virtual

Restores state information about this applet saved previously in save(KConfigGroup&).

This method does not need to be reimplemented by Applet subclasses, but can be useful for Applet specializations (such as Containment) to do so.

Reimplemented in Plasma::Containment.

Definition at line 135 of file applet.cpp.

◆ save()

void Plasma::Applet::save ( KConfigGroup & group) const
virtual

Saves state information about this applet that will be accessed when next instantiated in the restore(KConfigGroup&) method.

This method does not need to be reimplemented by Applet subclasses, but can be useful for Applet specializations (such as Containment) to do so.

Applet subclasses may instead want to reimplement saveState().

Reimplemented in Plasma::Containment.

Definition at line 102 of file applet.cpp.

◆ saveState()

void Plasma::Applet::saveState ( KConfigGroup & config) const
protectedvirtual

When called, the Applet should write any information needed as part of the Applet's running state to the configuration object in config() and/or globalConfig().

Applets that always sync their settings/state with the config objects when these settings/states change do not need to reimplement this method.

Definition at line 179 of file applet.cpp.

reasona translated message for the user explaining that the applet needs configuring; this should note what needs to be configured

Definition at line 477 of file applet.cpp.

void Plasma::Applet::setConstraintHints ( ConstraintHints constraintHints)

Sets the constraint hits which give a more granular control over sizing in constrained layouts such as panels.

◆ setHasConfigurationInterface()

void Plasma::Applet::setHasConfigurationInterface ( bool hasInterface)

Sets whether or not this applet provides a user interface for configuring the applet.

Definition at line 438 of file applet.cpp.

◆ setInternalAction()

void Plasma::Applet::setInternalAction ( const QString & name,
QAction * action )

Add a new internal action.

if an internal action with the same name already exists, it will be replaced with this new one. Those are usually actions defined by the system, such as "configure" and "remove"

Parameters
nameThe unique name for the action
actionThe new QAction to be added

Definition at line 640 of file applet.cpp.

◆ setLaunchErrorMessage

void Plasma::Applet::setLaunchErrorMessage ( const QString & reason = QString())
slot

Call this method when the applet fails to launch properly.

An optional reason can be provided.

Not that all children items will be deleted when this method is called. If you have pointers to these items, you will need to reset them after calling this method.
