Detailed Description

This namespace provides a method for issuing events to a KNotifyServer call KNotifyClient::event("eventname"); to issue it.

On installation, there should be a file called $TDEDIR/share/apps/appname/eventsrc which contains the events.

The file looks like this:

[!Global!]
IconName=Filename (e.g. kdesktop, without any extension)
Comment=FriendlyNameOfApp
 
[eventname]
Name=FriendlyNameOfEvent
Comment=Description Of Event
default_sound=filetoplay.wav
default_logfile=logfile.txt
default_commandline=command
default_presentation=1
 ...

default_presentation contains these ORed events: None=0, Sound=1, Messagebox=2, Logfile=4, Stderr=8, PassivePopup=16, Execute=32, Taskbar=64

KNotify will search for sound files given with a relative path first in the application's sound directory (share/apps/Application Name/sounds), then in the KDE global sound directory (share/sounds).

You can also use the "nopresentation" key, with any the presentations ORed. Those that are in that field will not appear in the kcontrol module. This was intended for software like KWin to not allow a window-opening that opens a window (e.g., allowing to disable KMessageBoxes from appearing) If the user edits the eventsrc file manually, it will appear. This only affects the KcmNotify.

You can also use the following events, which are system controlled and do not need to be placed in your eventsrc:

cannotopenfile
notification
warning
fatalerror
catastrophe

The events can be configured in an application using KNotifyDialog, which is part of TDEIO.

Function Documentation

◆ beep()

void KNotifyClient::beep ( const TQString & reason = TQString::null )

This is a simple substitution for TQApplication::beep().

It simply calls

KNotifyClient::event( KNotifyClient::notification, reason );

KNotifyClient::event

int event(const TQString &message, const TQString &text=TQString::null) TDE_DEPRECATED

Definition: knotifyclient.cpp:125

Parameters

reason the reason, can be TQString::null.

Definition at line 252 of file knotifyclient.cpp.

◆ event() [1/4]

int KNotifyClient::event	(	const TQString &	message,
		const TQString &	text = `TQString::null`
	)

Deprecated:

Parameters

message	The name of the event
text	The text to put in a dialog box. This won't be shown if the user connected the event to sound, only. Can be TQString::null.

Returns: a value > 0, unique for this event if successful, 0 otherwise

Definition at line 125 of file knotifyclient.cpp.

◆ event() [2/4]

int KNotifyClient::event	(	int	winId,
		const TQString &	message,
		const TQString &	text = `TQString::null`
	)

This should be the most used method in here.

Pass the origin-widget's winId() here so that a PassivePopup can be placed appropriately.

Call it by KNotifyClient::event(widget->winId(), "EventName"); It will use TDEApplication::tdeApplication->dcopClient() to communicate to the server

Parameters

winId	The winId() of the widget where the event originates
message	The name of the event
text	The text to put in a dialog box. This won't be shown if the user connected the event to sound, only. Can be TQString::null.

Returns: a value > 0, unique for this event if successful, 0 otherwise

Since: 3.1.1

Definition at line 163 of file knotifyclient.cpp.

◆ event() [3/4]

int KNotifyClient::event	(	int	winId,
		StandardEvent	event,
		const TQString &	text = `TQString::null`
	)

You should pass the origin-widget's winId() here so that a PassivePopup can be placed appropriately.

Parameters

winId	The winId() of the widget where the event originates
event	The event you want to raise
text	The text to put in a dialog box. This won't be shown if the user connected the event to sound, only. Can be TQString::null.

Returns: a value > 0, unique for this event if successful, 0 otherwise

Since: 3.1.1

Definition at line 137 of file knotifyclient.cpp.

◆ event() [4/4]

int KNotifyClient::event	(	StandardEvent	event,
		const TQString &	text = `TQString::null`
	)

Deprecated:: Allows to easily emit standard events.

Parameters

event	The event you want to raise.
text	The text explaining the event you raise. Can be TQString::null.

Returns: a value > 0, unique for this event if successful, 0 otherwise

Definition at line 120 of file knotifyclient.cpp.

◆ getDefaultFile()

TQString KNotifyClient::getDefaultFile	(	const TQString &	eventname,
		int	present
	)

Gets the default File for the event of this program.

It gets it in relation to present. Some events don't apply to this function ("Message Box") Some do (Sound)

Parameters

eventname	the name of the event
present	the presentation method

Returns: the default file. Can be TQString::null if not found.

Definition at line 220 of file knotifyclient.cpp.

◆ getDefaultPresentation()

int KNotifyClient::getDefaultPresentation ( const TQString & eventname )

Gets the default presentation for the event of this program.

Remember that the Presentation may be ORed. Try this:

if (present & KNotifyClient::Sound) { [Yes, sound is a default] }

Returns: the presentation methods

Definition at line 207 of file knotifyclient.cpp.

◆ getFile()

TQString KNotifyClient::getFile	(	const TQString &	eventname,
		int	present
	)

Gets the default file associated with a certain event name The control panel module will list all the event names This has the potential for being slow.

Parameters

eventname	the name of the event
present	the presentation method

Returns: the associated file. Can be TQString::null if not found.

Definition at line 189 of file knotifyclient.cpp.

◆ getPresentation()

int KNotifyClient::getPresentation ( const TQString & eventname )

Gets the presentation associated with a certain event name Remeber that they may be ORed:

if (present & KNotifyClient::Sound) { [Yes, sound is a default] }

Parameters

eventname the event name to check

Returns: the presentation methods

Definition at line 176 of file knotifyclient.cpp.

◆ instance()

TDEInstance * KNotifyClient::instance ( )

Shortcut to KNotifyClient::Instance::current() :)

Returns: the current TDEInstance.

Definition at line 280 of file knotifyclient.cpp.

◆ startDaemon()

bool KNotifyClient::startDaemon ( )

This starts the KNotify Daemon, if it's not already started.

This will be useful for games that use sound effects. Run this at the start of the program, and there won't be a pause when it is first triggered.

Returns: true if daemon is running (always true at the moment)

Definition at line 238 of file knotifyclient.cpp.

◆ userEvent() [1/2]

int KNotifyClient::userEvent	(	const TQString &	text = `TQString::null`,

		const TQString &	file = `TQString::null`
	)

Deprecated:: Will fire an event that's not registered.

Parameters

text	The error message text, if applicable

file	The log file to append the message to if selected with `present`

Returns: a value > 0, unique for this event if successful, 0 otherwise

Definition at line 130 of file knotifyclient.cpp.
