Detailed Description

KDE top level main window

Top level widget that provides toolbars, a status line and a frame.

It should be used as a top level (parent-less) widget. It manages the geometry for all its children, including your main widget.

Normally, you will inherit from TDEMainWindow, then construct (or use some existing) widget as your main view. You can set only one main view.

You can add as many toolbars as you like. There can be only one menubar and only one statusbar.

The toolbars, menubar, and statusbar can be created by the TDEMainWindow and - unlike the old TDEMainWindow - may, but do not have to, be deleted by you. TDEMainWindow will handle that internally.

Height and width can be operated independently from each other. Simply define the minimum/maximum height/width of your main widget and TDEMainWindow will take this into account. For fixed size windows set your main widget to a fixed size.

Fixed aspect ratios (heightForWidth()) and fixed width widgets are not supported.

TDEMainWindow will set icon, mini icon and caption, which it gets from TDEApplication. It provides full session management, and will save its position, geometry and positions of toolbars and menubar on logout. If you want to save additional data, reimplement saveProperties() and (to read them again on next login) readProperties(). To save special data about your data, reimplement saveGlobalProperties(). To warn user that application or windows have unsaved data on close or logout, reimplement queryClose() and/or queryExit().

There are also kRestoreMainWindows convenience functions which can restore all your windows on next login.

Note that a TDEMainWindow per-default is created with the WDestructiveClose flag, i.e. it is automatically destroyed when the window is closed. If you do not want this behavior, specify 0 as widget flag in the constructor.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ CreationFlags

enum TDEMainWindow::CreationFlags

Flags that can be passed in an argument to the constructor to change the behavior.

NoDCOPObject tells TDEMainWindow not to create a TDEMainWindowInterface. This can be useful in particular for inherited classes, which might want to create more specific dcop interfaces. It's a good idea to use TDEMainWindowInterface as the base class for such interfaces though (to provide the standard mainwindow functionality via DCOP).

Definition at line 152 of file tdemainwindow.h.

◆ StandardWindowOptions

enum TDEMainWindow::StandardWindowOptions
See also
setupGUI()
Enumerator
ToolBar 

adds action to show/hide the toolbar(s) and adds action to configure the toolbar(s).

See also
setStandardToolBarMenuEnabled
Keys 

adds action to show the key configure action.

StatusBar 

adds action to show/hide the statusbar if the statusbar exists.

See createStandardStatusBarAction

Save 

auto-saves (and loads) the toolbar/menubar/statusbar settings and window size using the default name.

See setAutoSaveSettings

Typically you want to let the default window size be determined by the widgets size hints. Make sure that setupGUI() is called after all the widgets are created ( including setCentralWidget ) so the default size's will be correct. See setAutoSaveSettings for more information on this topic.

Create 

calls createGUI() once ToolBar, Keys and Statusbar have been taken care of.

See createGUI

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ TDEMainWindow() [1/2]

TDEMainWindow::TDEMainWindow ( TQWidget *  parent = 0,
const char *  name = 0,
WFlags  f = (WFlags)(WType_TopLevel | WDestructiveClose) 
)

Construct a main window.

Parameters
parentThe widget parent. This is usually 0 but it may also be the window group leader. In that case, the TDEMainWindow becomes sort of a secondary window.
nameThe object name. For session management and window management to work properly, all main windows in the application should have a different name. When passing 0 (the default), TDEMainWindow will create a unique name, but it's recommended to explicitly pass a window name that will also describe the type of the window. If there can be several windows of the same type, append '#' (hash) to the name, and TDEMainWindow will append numbers to make the names unique. For example, for a mail client which has one main window showing the mails and folders, and which can also have one or more windows for composing mails, the name for the folders window should be e.g. "mainwindow" and for the composer windows "composer#".
fSpecify the widget flags. The default is WType_TopLevel and WDestructiveClose. TopLevel indicates that a main window is a toplevel window, regardless of whether it has a parent or not. DestructiveClose indicates that a main window is automatically destroyed when its window is closed. Pass 0 if you do not want this behavior.

TDEMainWindow::TDEMainWindow ( int  cflags,
TQWidget *  parent = 0,
const char *  name = 0,
WFlags  f = (WFlags)(WType_TopLevel | WDestructiveClose) 
)

Member Function Documentation

◆ accel()

TDEAccel * TDEMainWindow::accel ( )
Returns
A TDEAccel instance bound to this mainwindow. Used automatically by TDEAction to make keybindings work in all cases.

Definition at line 1190 of file tdemainwindow.cpp.

◆ appHelpActivated

void TDEMainWindow::appHelpActivated ( void  )
slot

Open the help page for the application.

The application name is used as a key to determine what to display and the system will attempt to open <appName>/index.html.

This method is intended for use by a help button in the toolbar or components outside the regular help menu. Use helpMenu() when you want to provide access to the help system from the help menu.

Example (adding a help button to the first toolbar):

TDEIconLoader &loader = *TDEGlobal::iconLoader();
TQPixmap pixmap = loader.loadIcon( "help" );
toolBar(0)->insertButton( pixmap, 0, TQ_SIGNAL(clicked()),
this, TQ_SLOT(appHelpActivated()), true, i18n("Help") );

Definition: tdemainwindow.cpp:609
TDEMainWindow::toolBar
TDEToolBar * toolBar(const char *name=0)
Returns a pointer to the toolbar with the specified name.
Definition: tdemainwindow.cpp:1160
TDEToolBar::insertButton
int insertButton(const TQString &icon, int id, bool enabled=true, const TQString &text=TQString::null, int index=-1, TDEInstance *_instance=TDEGlobal::instance())

◆ applyMainWindowSettings() [1/2]

void TDEMainWindow::applyMainWindowSettings ( TDEConfig *  config,
const TQString &  groupName,
bool  force 
)

Read settings for statusbar, menubar and toolbar from their respective groups in the config file and apply them.

Parameters
configConfig file to read the settings from.
groupNameGroup name to use. If not specified, the last used group name is used.
forceif set, even default settings are re-applied

Definition at line 843 of file tdemainwindow.cpp.

◆ applyMainWindowSettings() [2/2]

void TDEMainWindow::applyMainWindowSettings ( TDEConfig *  config,
const TQString &  groupName = TQString::null 
)

Definition at line 838 of file tdemainwindow.cpp.

◆ autoSaveGroup()

TQString TDEMainWindow::autoSaveGroup ( ) const
Returns
the group used for setting-autosaving. Only meaningful if setAutoSaveSettings() was called. This can be useful for forcing a save or an apply, e.g. before and after using KEditToolbar.
Since
3.1

Definition at line 1063 of file tdemainwindow.cpp.

◆ autoSaveSettings()

bool TDEMainWindow::autoSaveSettings ( ) const
Returns
the current autosave setting, i.e. true if setAutoSaveSettings() was called, false by default or if resetAutoSaveSettings() was called.
Since
3.1

Definition at line 1058 of file tdemainwindow.cpp.

◆ canBeRestored()

bool TDEMainWindow::canBeRestored ( int  number)
static

Session Management

Try to restore the toplevel widget as defined by the number (1..X).

If the session did not contain so high a number, the configuration is not changed and false returned.

That means clients could simply do the following:

if (tdeApp->isRestored()){
int n = 1;
while (TDEMainWindow::canBeRestored(n)){
(new childMW)->restore(n);
n++;
}
} else {
// create default application as usual
}
TDEMainWindow::restore
bool restore(int number, bool show=true)
Restore the session specified by number.
Definition: tdemainwindow.cpp:420
TDEMainWindow::canBeRestored
static bool canBeRestored(int number)
Session Management
Definition: tdemainwindow.cpp:361

Note that TQWidget::show() is called implicitly in restore.

With this you can easily restore all toplevel windows of your application.

If your application uses different kinds of toplevel windows, then you can use TDEMainWindow::classNameOfToplevel(n) to determine the exact type before calling the childMW constructor in the example from above.

If your client has only one kind of toplevel widgets (which should be pretty usual) then you should use the RESTORE-macro for backwards compatibility with 3.1 and 3.0 branches:

if (tdeApp->isRestored())
RESTORE(childMW)
else {
// create default application as usual
}

The macro expands to the term above but is easier to use and less code to write.

For new code or if you have more than one kind of toplevel widget (each derived from TDEMainWindow, of course), you can use the templated kRestoreMainWindows global functions:

if (tdeApp->isRestored())
kRestoreMainWindows< childMW1, childMW2, childMW3 >();
else {
// create default application as usual
}

Currently, these functions are provided for up to three template arguments. If you need more, tell us. To help you in deciding whether or not you can use kRestoreMainWindows, a define KDE_RESTORE_MAIN_WINDOWS_NUM_TEMPLATE_ARGS is provided.

protected

Definition at line 1155 of file tdemainwindow.cpp.

◆ classNameOfToplevel()

const TQString TDEMainWindow::classNameOfToplevel ( int  number)
static

Returns the className() of the number of the toplevel window which should be restored.

This is only useful if your application uses different kinds of toplevel windows.

Definition at line 373 of file tdemainwindow.cpp.

◆ closeEvent()

void TDEMainWindow::closeEvent ( TQCloseEvent *  e)
protectedvirtual

Reimplemented to call the queryClose() and queryExit() handlers.

We recommend that you reimplement the handlers rather than closeEvent(). If you do it anyway, ensure to call the base implementation to keep queryExit() running.

Definition at line 643 of file tdemainwindow.cpp.

◆ configureToolbars

int TDEMainWindow::configureToolbars ( )
slot

Show a standard configure toolbar dialog.

This slot can be connected dirrectly to the action to configure shortcuts. This is very simple to do that by adding a single line

KStdAction::configureToolbars( guiFactory(), TQ_SLOT( configureToolbars() ),
actionCollection() );
KXMLGUIClient::actionCollection
virtual TDEActionCollection * actionCollection() const
Retrieves the entire action collection for the GUI client.
Definition: kxmlguiclient.cpp:107
TDEMainWindow::configureToolbars
int configureToolbars()
Show a standard configure toolbar dialog.
Definition: tdemainwindow.cpp:440
KStdAction::configureToolbars
TDEAction * configureToolbars(const TQObject *recvr, const char *slot, TDEActionCollection *parent, const char *name)
The Customize Toolbar dialog.
Definition: kstdaction.cpp:302
Since
3.3

Definition at line 440 of file tdemainwindow.cpp.

◆ createGUI()

void TDEMainWindow::createGUI ( const TQString &  xmlfile = TQString::null,
bool  _conserveMemory = true 
)

Create a GUI given a local XML file.

If xmlfile is NULL, then it will try to construct a local XML filename like appnameui.rc where 'appname' is your app's name. If that file does not exist, then the XML UI code will only use the global (standard) XML file for the layout purposes.

Note that when passing true for the conserveMemory argument subsequent calls to guiFactory()->addClient/removeClient may not work as expected. Also retrieving references to containers like popup menus or toolbars using the container method will not work.

Parameters
xmlfileThe local xmlfile (relative or absolute)
_conserveMemorySpecify whether createGUI() should call KXMLGUIClient::conserveMemory() to free all memory allocated by the TQDomDocument and by the KXMLGUIFactory.

Definition at line 500 of file tdemainwindow.cpp.

◆ createStandardStatusBarAction()

void TDEMainWindow::createStandardStatusBarAction ( )

Sets whether TDEMainWindow should provide a menu that allows showing/hiding of the statusbar ( using TDEToggleStatusBarAction ).

The menu / menu item is implemented using xmlgui. It will be inserted in your menu structure in the 'Settings' menu.

Note that you should enable this feature before calling createGUI() ( or similar ).

If an application maintains the action on its own (i.e. never calls this function) a connection needs to be made to let TDEMainWindow know when that status (hidden/shown) of the statusbar has changed. For example: connect(action, TQ_SIGNAL(activated()), tdemainwindow, TQ_SLOT(setSettingsDirty())); Otherwise the status (hidden/show) of the statusbar might not be saved by TDEMainWindow.

Since
3.2

Definition at line 805 of file tdemainwindow.cpp.

◆ customHelpMenu()

TDEPopupMenu * TDEMainWindow::customHelpMenu ( bool  showWhatsThis = true)

Returns the help menu.

Creates a standard help menu if none exists yet.

It contains entries for the help system (activated by F1), an optional "What's This?" entry (activated by Shift F1), an application specific dialog box, and an "About KDE" dialog box. You must create the application specific dialog box yourself. When the "About application" menu entry is activated, a signal will trigger the showAboutApplication slot. See showAboutApplication for more information.

Example (adding a help menu to your application):

menuBar()->insertItem( i18n("&Help"), customHelpMenu() );
TDEMainWindow::customHelpMenu
TDEPopupMenu * customHelpMenu(bool showWhatsThis=true)
Returns the help menu.
Definition: tdemainwindow.cpp:350
TDEMainWindow::menuBar
KMenuBar * menuBar()
Returns a pointer to the menu bar.
Definition: tdemainwindow.cpp:1090
Parameters
showWhatsThisSet this to false if you do not want to include the "What's This" menu entry.
Returns
A standard help menu.

◆ queryClose()

bool TDEMainWindow::queryClose ( )
protectedvirtual

Called before the window is closed, either by the user or indirectly by the session manager.

The purpose of this function is to prepare the window in a way that it is safe to close it, i.e. without the user losing some data.

Default implementation returns true. Returning false will cancel the closing, and, if TDEApplication::sessionSaving() is true, it will also cancel KDE logout.

Reimplement this function to prevent the user from losing data. Example:

switch ( KMessageBox::warningYesNoCancel( this,
i18n("Save changes to document foo?")) ) {
case KMessageBox::Yes :
// save document here. If saving fails, return false;
return true;
case KMessageBox::No :
return true;
default: // cancel
return false;
KMessageBox::warningYesNoCancel
static int warningYesNoCancel(TQWidget *parent, const TQString &text, const TQString &caption=TQString::null, const KGuiItem &buttonYes=KStdGuiItem::yes(), const KGuiItem &buttonNo=KStdGuiItem::no(), const TQString &dontAskAgainName=TQString::null, int options=Notify)
Display a Yes/No/Cancel "warning" dialog.

Note that you should probably not actually close the document from within this method, as it may be called by the session manager before the session is saved. If the document is closed before the session save occurs, its location might not be properly saved. In addition, the session shutdown may be canceled, in which case the document should remain open.

◆ queryExit()

bool TDEMainWindow::queryExit ( )
protectedvirtual
  Called before the very last window is closed, either by the
  user or indirectly by the session manager.

  It is not recommended to do any user interaction in this
  function other than indicating severe errors. Better ask the
  user on queryClose() (see below).

  A typical usage of queryExit() is to write configuration data back.
  Note that the application may continue to run after queryExit()
  (the user may have canceled a shutdown), so you should not do any cleanups
  here. The purpose of queryExit() is purely to prepare the application
  (with possible user interaction) so it can safely be closed later (without
  user interaction).

  If you need to do serious things on exit (like shutting a
  dial-up connection down), connect to the signal

TDEApplication::shutDown().

  Default implementation returns @p true. Returning @p false will
  cancel the exiting. In the latter case, the last window will
  remain visible. If TDEApplication::sessionSaving() is true, refusing
  the exit will also cancel KDE logout.

◆ saveGlobalProperties()

void TDEMainWindow::saveGlobalProperties ( TDEConfig *  sessionConfig)
protectedvirtual

Save your application-wide properties.

The function is invoked when the session manager requests your application to save its state.

This function is similar to saveProperties() but is only called for the very first main window, regardless how many main window are open.

Override it if you need to save other data about your documents on session end. sessionConfig is a config to which that data should be saved. Normally, you don't need this function. But if you want to save data about your documents that are not in opened windows you might need it.

Default implementation does nothing.

Definition at line 683 of file tdemainwindow.cpp.

◆ saveMainWindowSettings()

void TDEMainWindow::saveMainWindowSettings ( TDEConfig *  config,
const TQString &  groupName = TQString::null 
)

Save settings for statusbar, menubar and toolbar to their respective groups in the config file config.

Parameters
configConfig file to save the settings to.
groupNameGroup name to use. If not specified, the last used group name is used

Definition at line 725 of file tdemainwindow.cpp.

◆ saveNewToolbarConfig

void TDEMainWindow::saveNewToolbarConfig ( )

Definition at line 448 of file tdemainwindow.cpp.

◆ saveProperties()

virtual void TDEMainWindow::saveProperties ( TDEConfig *  )
inlineprotectedvirtual

Save your instance-specific properties.

The function is invoked when the session manager requests your application to save its state.

You must not change the group of the tdeconfig object, since TDEMainWindow uses one group for each window. Please reimplement these function in childclasses.

Note: No user interaction is allowed in this function!

◆ savePropertiesInternal()

void TDEMainWindow::savePropertiesInternal ( TDEConfig *  config,
int  number 
)
protected

Definition at line 701 of file tdemainwindow.cpp.

◆ saveWindowSize()

void TDEMainWindow::saveWindowSize ( TDEConfig *  config) const
protected

For inherited classes Note that the group must be set before calling.

Definition at line 911 of file tdemainwindow.cpp.

◆ setAutoSaveSettings()

void TDEMainWindow::setAutoSaveSettings ( const TQString &  groupName = TQString::fromLatin1("MainWindow"),
bool  saveWindowSize = true 
)

Call this to enable "auto-save" of toolbar/menubar/statusbar settings (and optionally window size).

If the *bars were moved around/shown/hidden when the window is closed, saveMainWindowSettings( TDEGlobal::config(), groupName ) will be called.

Parameters
groupNamea name that identifies this "type of window". You can have several types of window in the same application.
saveWindowSizeset it to true to include the window size when saving.

Typically, you will call setAutoSaveSettings() in your TDEMainWindow-inherited class constructor, and it will take care of restoring and saving automatically. Make sure you call this after all your *bars have been created.

To make sure that TDEMainWindow propertly obtains the default size of the window you should do the following:

  • Remove hard coded resize() calls in the constructor or main, they should be removed in favor of letting the automatic resizing determine the default window size. Hard coded window sizes will be wrong for users that have big fonts, use different styles, long/small translations, large toolbars, and other factors.
  • Put the setAutoSaveSettings ( or setupGUI() ) call after all widgets have been created and placed inside the main window (i.e. for 99% of apps setCentralWidget())
  • Widgets that inherit from TQWidget (like game boards) should overload "virtual TQSize sizeHint() const;" to specify a default size rather than letting TQWidget::adjust use the default size of 0x0.

◆ setCaption [1/2]

void TDEMainWindow::setCaption ( const TQString &  caption)
virtualslot

Makes a KDE compliant caption.

Parameters
captionYour caption. Do not include the application name in this string. It will be added automatically according to the KDE standard.

Definition at line 590 of file tdemainwindow.cpp.

◆ setCaption [2/2]

void TDEMainWindow::setCaption ( const TQString &  caption,
bool  modified 
)
virtualslot

Makes a KDE compliant caption.

Parameters
captionYour caption. Do not include the application name in this string. It will be added automatically according to the KDE standard.
modifiedSpecify whether the document is modified. This displays an additional sign in the title bar, usually "**".

Parameters
captionYour caption. This is the string that will be displayed in the window title.

Definition at line 600 of file tdemainwindow.cpp.

◆ setSettingsDirty

void TDEMainWindow::setSettingsDirty ( )
slot

Apply a state change.

Enable and disable actions as defined in the XML rc file, can "reverse" the state (disable the actions which should be enabled, and vice-versa) if specified. Tell the main window that it should save its settings when being closed. This is part of the auto-save-settings feature. For everything related to toolbars this happens automatically, but you have to call setSettingsDirty() in the slot that toggles the visibility of the statusbar.

Definition at line 1009 of file tdemainwindow.cpp.

◆ setStandardToolBarMenuEnabled()

void TDEMainWindow::setStandardToolBarMenuEnabled ( bool  enable)

Sets whether TDEMainWindow should provide a menu that allows showing/hiding the available toolbars ( using TDEToggleToolBarAction ) .

In case there is only one toolbar configured a simple 'Show <toolbar name here>' menu item is shown.

The menu / menu item is implemented using xmlgui. It will be inserted in your menu structure in the 'Settings' menu.

If your application uses a non-standard xmlgui resource file then you can specify the exact position of the menu / menu item by adding a <Merge name="StandardToolBarMenuHandler" /> line to the settings menu section of your resource file ( usually appname.rc ).

Note that you should enable this feature before calling createGUI() ( or similar ) . You enable/disable it anytime if you pass false to the conserveMemory argument of createGUI.

This slot does nothing.

It must be reimplemented if you want to use a custom About Application dialog box. This slot is connected to the About Application entry in the menu returned by customHelpMenu.

Example:

void MyMainLevel::setupInterface()
{
..
menuBar()->insertItem( i18n("&Help"), customHelpMenu() );

◆ sizeForCentralWidgetSize()

TQSize TDEMainWindow::sizeForCentralWidgetSize ( TQSize  size)
Returns
the size the mainwindow should have so that the central widget will be of size.
Deprecated:
You normally don't need this, the recommended way to achieve a certain central widget size is as follows:
  • Override sizeHint() in the central widget so that it returns the desired size.
  • Call updateGeometry() in the central widget whenever the desired size changes. This ensures that the new sizeHint() is properly propagated to any parent layout.
  • Now call adjustSize() in the mainwindow to resize the mainwindow such that the central widget will become the desired size.
