Detailed Description

Standard KDE help menu with dialog boxes.

This class provides the standard KDE help menu with the default "about" dialog boxes and help entry.

This class is used in KMainWindow so normally you don't need to use this class yourself. However, if you need the help menu or any of its dialog boxes in your code that is not subclassed from KMainWindow you should use this class.

The usage is simple:

mHelpMenu = new KHelpMenu( this );
kmenubar->addMenu(mHelpMenu->menu() );
KHelpMenu(QWidget *parent, const QString &unused, bool showWhatsThis=true)
Constructor.
Definition khelpmenu.cpp:77

or if you just want to open a dialog box:

mHelpMenu = new KHelpMenu( this );
connect(this, &ClassFoo::someSignal, mHelpMenu, &KHelpMenu::aboutKDE);
void aboutKDE()
Opens the standard "About KDE" dialog box.
QMetaObject::Connection connect(const QObject *sender, PointerToMemberFunction signal, Functor functor)

IMPORTANT: The first time you use KHelpMenu::menu(), a QMenu object is allocated. Only one object is created by the class so if you call KHelpMenu::menu() twice or more, the same pointer is returned. The class will destroy the popupmenu in the destructor so do not delete this pointer yourself.

The KHelpMenu object will be deleted when its parent is destroyed but you can delete it yourself if you want. The code below will always work.

MyClass::~MyClass()
{
delete mHelpMenu;
}

Using your own "about application" dialog box:

The standard "about application" dialog box is quite simple. If you need a dialog box with more functionality you must design that one yourself. When you want to display the dialog, you simply need to connect the help menu signal showAboutApplication() to your slot.

void MyClass::myFunc()
{
..
KHelpMenu *helpMenu = new KHelpMenu( this );
connect(helpMenu, &KHelpMenu::showAboutApplication, this, &ClassFoo:myDialogSlot);
..
}
void MyClass::myDialogSlot()
{
<activate your custom dialog>
}
Standard KDE help menu with dialog boxes.
Definition khelpmenu.h:109
void showAboutApplication()
This signal is emitted from aboutApplication() if no "about application" string has been defined.
KHelpMenu

KHelpMenu respects Kiosk settings (see the KAuthorized namespace in the KConfig framework). In particular, system administrators can disable items on this menu using some subset of the following configuration:

[KDE Action Restrictions][$i]
actions/help_contents=false
actions/help_whats_this=false
actions/help_report_bug=false
actions/switch_application_language=false
actions/help_about_app=false
actions/help_about_kde=false

KHelpMenu::KHelpMenu ( QWidget * parent,
const QString & unused,
bool showWhatsThis = true )
explicit

Constructor.

Parameters
parentThe parent of the dialog boxes. The boxes are modeless and will be centered with respect to the parent.
unusedThis value is unused.
showWhatsThisDecides whether a "What's this" entry will be added to the dialog.
Deprecated
Since 6.9, use one of the other constructors

Definition at line 77 of file khelpmenu.cpp.

◆ KHelpMenu() [2/4]

KHelpMenu::KHelpMenu ( QWidget * parent = nullptr)
explicit

Creates a KHelpMenu with the default app data (KAboutData::applicationData()).

Parameters
parentThe parent of the dialog boxes. The boxes are modeless and will be centered with respect to the parent.
Since
6.9

Definition at line 86 of file khelpmenu.cpp.

◆ KHelpMenu() [3/4]

KHelpMenu::KHelpMenu ( QWidget * parent,
const KAboutData & aboutData,
bool showWhatsThis )

Constructor.

This alternative constructor is mainly useful if you want to override the standard actions (aboutApplication(), aboutKDE(), helpContents(), reportBug, and optionally whatsThis).

Parameters
parentThe parent of the dialog boxes. The boxes are modeless and will be centered with respect to the parent.
aboutDataUser and app data used in the About app dialog
showWhatsThisDecides whether a "What's this" entry will be added to the dialog.
Deprecated
Since 6.9, use one of the other constructors

Definition at line 95 of file khelpmenu.cpp.

◆ KHelpMenu() [4/4]

KHelpMenu::KHelpMenu ( QWidget * parent,
const KAboutData & aboutData )

Creates a KHelpMenu with app data aboutData.

This constructor is useful if you want to use the help menu with custom application data.

Parameters
parentThe parent of the dialog boxes. The boxes are modeless and will be centered with respect to the parent.
aboutDataUser and app data used in the About app dialog and for the actions in the help menu.
Since
6.9

Definition at line 105 of file khelpmenu.cpp.

◆ ~KHelpMenu()

KHelpMenu::~KHelpMenu ( )
override

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

◆ aboutApplication

void KHelpMenu::aboutApplication ( )
slot

◆ action()

QAction * KHelpMenu::action ( MenuId id) const

Returns the QAction * associated with the given parameter Will return a nullptr if menu() has not been called.

Parameters
idThe id of the action of which you want to get QAction *

Definition at line 220 of file khelpmenu.cpp.

◆ appHelpActivated

void KHelpMenu::appHelpActivated ( )
slot

Opens 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.

Definition at line 248 of file khelpmenu.cpp.

◆ contextHelpActivated

void KHelpMenu::contextHelpActivated ( )
slot

Activates What's This help for the application.

◆ menu()

QMenu * KHelpMenu::menu ( )

Returns a popup menu you can use in the menu bar or where you need it.

The returned menu is configured with an icon, a title and menu entries. Therefore adding the returned pointer to your menu is enough to have access to the help menu.

Note: This method will only create one instance of the menu. If you call this method twice or more the same pointer is returned.

Definition at line 161 of file khelpmenu.cpp.

◆ reportBug

void KHelpMenu::reportBug ( )
slot

Opens the standard "Report Bugs" dialog box.

Definition at line 275 of file khelpmenu.cpp.

◆ setShowWhatsThis()

void KHelpMenu::setShowWhatsThis ( bool showWhatsThis)

Set whether to show the What's This menu entry in the help menu.

Definition at line 119 of file khelpmenu.cpp.

◆ showAboutApplication

void KHelpMenu::showAboutApplication ( )
signal

This signal is emitted from aboutApplication() if no "about application" string has been defined.

The standard application specific dialog box that is normally activated in aboutApplication() will not be displayed when this signal is emitted.

◆ switchApplicationLanguage

void KHelpMenu::switchApplicationLanguage ( )
slot

Opens the changing default application language dialog box.
