There are some new voids in here, as well as m_showAction witch determines the value stored in KConfig XT. Despite that value being a bool we can actually use an integer here, since the type is converted either way.

Abstract

Author: Matt Williams

In this tutorial, we're going to be showing you how to utilise KConfig XT in an application. It is recommended that you read Development/Tutorials/Using KConfig XT before continuing in order to familiarise yourself with the framework.

Prerequisites

KConfig XT

At first we make new File called tutorial4.kcfg within the source directory of your project.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE kcfg SYSTEM "http://www.kde.org/standards/kcfg/1.0/kcfg.xsd"> <kcfg> <kcfgfile name="kjotsrc"/> <include>kglobalsettings.h</include> <group name="kjots"> <entry name="showAction" type="Bool"> <label>Whether setupAction is called</label> <default>true</default> </entry> </group> </kcfg>

This code makes a setting of the type bool, which determines whether we want to do something. Then we set the default value to be true.

Always start the value of <entry name=""> in lower case since KConfig XT sets them to lower case within the generated headers either way. If you don't this could give you some nearly untraceable errors

Now we make a new File called tutorial4.kcfgc.

File=tutorial4.kcfg ClassName=tutorial4 Singleton=true Mutators=true

This should set up your configuration for now.

The Code

mainwindow.h

  1. ifndef MAINWINDOW_H
  2. define MAINWINDOW_H
  1. include <KXmlGuiWindow>
  2. include <KTextEdit>


class MainWindow : public KXmlGuiWindow {

public: MainWindow(QWidget *parent=0); private: KTextEdit* textArea; void setupActions(); void setupConfig(); void readConfig(); void saveSettings(); int m_showAction;

};

  1. endif


There are some new voids in here, as well as m_showAction witch determines the value stored in KConfig XT. Despite that value being a bool we can actually use an integer here, since the type is converted either way.
