## Member Function Documentation

void KTipDialog::showTip | ( | QWidget * | parent,
|  | const QString & | tipFile = `QString::null`,
|  | bool | force = `false`
| ) | `[static]`

  | Shows a tip. This static method is all that is needed to add a tip-of-the-day dialog to an application. It will pop up the dialog, unless the user has asked that the dialog does not pop up on startup. Note that you probably want an item in the help menu calling this method with force=true. Parameters:
  | parent | Parent widget of TipDialog.
  | tipFile | The name of the tip file. It has be relative to the "data" resource of KStandardDirs
  | force | If true, the dialog is show, even when the users disabled it.

void KTipDialog::showMultiTip | ( | QWidget * | parent,
|  | const QStringList & | tipFiles,
|  | bool | force = `false`
| ) | `[static]`

  | Shows a tip. This method behaves essentially as the one above, but expects a list of tips Parameters:
  | parent | Parent widget of TipDialog.
  | tipFiles | A List of tip files. Each has be relative to the "data" resource of KStandardDirs
  | force | If true, the dialog is show, even when the users disabled it.
Definition at line 329 of file ktip.cpp. References KTipDialog(), mTipOnStart, QDateTime::secsTo(), QCheckBox::setChecked(), and QDialog::show(). Referenced by showTip().

void KTipDialog::showTip | ( | const QString & | tipFile = `QString::null`,
|  | bool | force = `false`
| ) | `[static]`

| Shows a tip. This methods calls showTip() with the applications main window as parent. Definition at line 319 of file ktip.cpp. References showTip().

void KTipDialog::setShowOnStart | ( | bool | show | ) | `[static]`

| Toggles the start behavior. Normally, the user can disable the display of the tip in the dialog. This is just a way to change this setting from outside. Definition at line 390 of file ktip.cpp.
