## Member Function Documentation

int KToggleAction::plug | ( | QWidget * | widget,
|  | int | index = `-1`
| ) | `[virtual]`

  | "Plug" or insert this action into a given widget. This will typically be a menu or a toolbar. From this point on, you will never need to directly manipulate the item in the menu or toolbar. You do all enabling/disabling/manipulation directly with your KToggleAction object. Parameters:
  | widget | The GUI element to display this action.
  | index | The index of the item.
Reimplemented from KAction. Reimplemented in KToggleToolBarAction. Definition at line 134 of file kactionclasses.cpp. References endl(), isChecked(), kdWarning(), KAction::plug(), KToolBar::setButton(), and KToolBar::setToggle(). Referenced by KToggleToolBarAction::plug().

bool KToggleAction::isChecked | ( |  | ) | const

| Returns the actual state of the action. Definition at line 234 of file kactionclasses.cpp. Referenced by plug(), and setChecked().

QString KToggleAction::exclusiveGroup | ( |  | ) | const

| Returns: which "exclusive group" this action is part of. See also: setExclusiveGroup Referenced by setChecked().

void KToggleAction::setExclusiveGroup | ( | const QString & | name | ) | `[virtual]`

| Defines which "exclusive group" this action is part of. In a given exclusive group, only one toggle action can be checked at a any moment. Checking an action unchecks the other actions of the group. Definition at line 239 of file kactionclasses.cpp.

void KToggleAction::setCheckedState | ( | const KGuiItem & | checkedItem | ) |

| Defines the text (and icon, tooltip, whatsthis) that should be displayed instead of the normal text, when the action is checked. This feature replaces the checkmark that usually appears in front of the text, in menus. It is useful when the text is mainly a verb: e.g. "Show <foo>" should turn into "Hide <foo>" when activated. If hasIcon(), the icon is kept for the 'checked state', unless `checkedItem` defines an icon explicitely. Same thing for tooltip and whatsthis. Since: 3.3 Definition at line 249 of file kactionclasses.cpp. Referenced by KStdAction::showMenubar(), and KStdAction::showStatusbar().

QString KToggleAction::toolTip | ( |  | ) | const`[virtual]`

| Reimplemented for internal reasons. Reimplemented from KAction. Definition at line 255 of file kactionclasses.cpp. References KAction::toolTip().

void KToggleAction::setChecked | ( | bool |  | ) | `[virtual, slot]`

| Sets the state of the action. Reimplemented in KToggleToolBarAction, and KToggleFullScreenAction. Definition at line 161 of file kactionclasses.cpp. References exclusiveGroup(), isChecked(), QObject::parent(), and toggled(). Referenced by KStdAction::create(), KToggleFullScreenAction::setChecked(), KToggleToolBarAction::setChecked(), KStdAction::showMenubar(), KStdAction::showStatusbar(), and KStdAction::showToolbar().
