## Detailed Description

A menu with title items.

KPopupMenu is a class for menus with standard title items and keyboard accessibility for popups with many options and/or varying options. It acts identically to QPopupMenu, with the addition of insertTitle(), changeTitle(), setKeyboardShortcutsEnabled() and setKeyboardShortcutsExecute() methods.

The titles support a text string, an icon, plus user defined gradients, colors, and background pixmaps.

The keyboard search algorithm is incremental with additional underlining for user feedback.

| Constructs a KPopupMenu. Definition at line 164 of file kpopupmenu.cpp. References resetKeyboardVars().

KPopupMenu::~KPopupMenu | ( |  | ) |

| Destructs the object. Definition at line 172 of file kpopupmenu.cpp.

KPopupMenu::KPopupMenu | ( | const QString & | title,
|  | QWidget * | parent = `0`,
|  | const char * | name = `0`
| ) |

| end of RMB menus on menus support Deprecated: Obsolete method provided for backwards compatibility only. Use the normal constructor and insertTitle instead. Definition at line 670 of file kpopupmenu.cpp. References insertTitle(), and title().

## Member Function Documentation

int KPopupMenu::insertTitle | ( | const QString & | text,
|  | int | id = `-1`,
|  | int | index = `-1`
| ) |

| Inserts a title item with no icon. Definition at line 183 of file kpopupmenu.cpp. References QPopupMenu::insertItem(), QPopupMenu::setItemEnabled(), and KPopupTitle::setTitle(). Referenced by KDateTable::contentsMousePressEvent(), KPixmapRegionSelectorWidget::createPopupMenu(), KPopupMenu(), and KSystemTray::KSystemTray().

int KPopupMenu::insertTitle | ( | const QPixmap & | icon,
|  | const QString & | text,
|  | int | id = `-1`,
|  | int | index = `-1`
| ) |

| Inserts a title item with the given icon and title. Definition at line 192 of file kpopupmenu.cpp. References QPopupMenu::insertItem(), QPopupMenu::setItemEnabled(), and KPopupTitle::setTitle().

void KPopupMenu::changeTitle | ( | int | id,
|  | const QString & | text
| ) |

| Changes the title of the item at the specified id. If a icon was previously set it is cleared. Definition at line 202 of file kpopupmenu.cpp. References endl(), kdWarning(), and KPopupTitle::setTitle().

void KPopupMenu::changeTitle | ( | int | id,
|  | const QPixmap & | icon,
|  | const QString & | text
| ) |

| Changes the title and icon of the title item at the specified id. Definition at line 219 of file kpopupmenu.cpp. References endl(), and kdWarning().

QString KPopupMenu::title | ( | int | id = `-1` | ) | const

| Returns the title of the title item at the specified id. The default id of -1 is for backwards compatibility only, you should always specify the id. Definition at line 236 of file kpopupmenu.cpp. Referenced by KPopupMenu(), and setTitle().

QPixmap KPopupMenu::titlePixmap | ( | int | id | ) | const

| Returns the icon of the title item at the specified id. Definition at line 252 of file kpopupmenu.cpp.

void KPopupMenu::setKeyboardShortcutsEnabled | ( | bool | enable | ) |

| Enables keyboard navigation by searching for the entered key sequence. Also underlines the currently selected item, providing feedback on the search. Defaults to off. WARNING: calls to text() of currently keyboard-selected items will contain additional ampersand characters. WARNING: though pre-existing keyboard shortcuts will not interfere with the operation of this feature, they may be confusing to the user as the existing shortcuts will not work. Since: 3.1 Definition at line 477 of file kpopupmenu.cpp. Referenced by KPanelMenu::init().

void KPopupMenu::setKeyboardShortcutsExecute | ( | bool | enable | ) |

| Enables execution of the menu item once it is uniquely specified. Defaults to off. Since: 3.1 Definition at line 482 of file kpopupmenu.cpp.

void KPopupMenu::setTitle | ( | const QString & | title | ) |

| Deprecated: Obsolete method provided for backwards compatibility only. Use insertTitle and changeTitle instead. Definition at line 678 of file kpopupmenu.cpp. References QPopupMenu::insertItem(), KPopupTitle::setTitle(), and title().

Qt::ButtonState KPopupMenu::state | ( |  | ) | const

| Return the state of the mouse button and keyboard modifiers when the last menuitem was activated. Since: 3.4 Definition at line 283 of file kpopupmenu.cpp. Referenced by KAction::slotPopupActivated().

void KPopupMenu::aboutToShowContextMenu | ( | KPopupMenu * | menu,
|  | int | menuItem,
