## Detailed Description

A generic "find" dialog.

Author:
  S.R.Haque <srhaque@iee.org>

Detail

This widget inherits from KDialogBase and implements the following additional functionalities: a find string object and an area for a user-defined widget to extend the dialog.

Example

To use the basic find dialog:

      KFindDialog dlg(....)
      if ( dlg.exec() != QDialog::Accepted )
          return;

      // proceed with KFind from here

To use your own extensions:

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

KFindDialog::KFindDialog | ( | QWidget * | parent = 0,
|  | const char * | name = 0,
|  | long | options = 0,
|  | const QStringList & | findStrings = QStringList(),
|  | bool | hasSelection = false
| ) |

  | Construct a find dialog with a parent object and a name. Parameters:
  parent | The parent object of this widget.
  name | The name of this widget.
  options | A bitfield of the Options to be enabled.
  findStrings | The find history, see findHistory()
  hasSelection | Whether a selection exists
Definition at line 52 of file kfinddialog.cpp. References KStdAccel::name(), and setOptions().

KFindDialog::~KFindDialog | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

| Destructor. Definition at line 70 of file kfinddialog.cpp.

## Member Function Documentation

void KFindDialog::setFindHistory | ( | const QStringList & | strings | ) |

  | Provide the list of `strings` to be displayed as the history of find strings. `strings` might get truncated if it is too long. Parameters:
  history | The find history.
See also: findHistory Definition at line 262 of file kfinddialog.cpp. References KHistoryCombo::clearHistory(), QComboBox::lineEdit(), and KHistoryCombo::setHistoryItems().

QStringList KFindDialog::findHistory | ( |  | ) | const

| Returns the list of history items. See also: setFindHistory Definition at line 86 of file kfinddialog.cpp. References KHistoryCombo::historyItems().

void KFindDialog::setHasSelection | ( | bool | hasSelection | ) |

  | Enable/disable the 'search in selection' option, depending on whether there actually is a selection. Parameters:
  hasSelection | true if a selection exists
Definition at line 274 of file kfinddialog.cpp. References QCheckBox::setChecked().

void KFindDialog::setHasCursor | ( | bool | hasCursor | ) |

  | Hide/show the 'from cursor' option, depending on whether the application implements a cursor. Parameters:
  hasCursor | true if the application features a cursor This is assumed to be the case by default.
Definition at line 292 of file kfinddialog.cpp. References options(), and QCheckBox::setChecked().

void KFindDialog::setOptions | ( | long | options | ) |

  | Set the options which are enabled. Parameters:
  options | The setting of the Options.
Reimplemented in KReplaceDialog. Definition at line 299 of file kfinddialog.cpp. References QCheckBox::setChecked(). Referenced by KFindDialog(), and KReplaceDialog::setOptions().

long KFindDialog::options | ( |  | ) | const

| Returns the state of the options. Disabled options may be returned in an indeterminate state. See also: setOptions Reimplemented in KReplaceDialog. Definition at line 230 of file kfinddialog.cpp. References QCheckBox::isChecked(), and options(). Referenced by KReplaceDialog::options(), options(), and setHasCursor().

QString KFindDialog::pattern | ( |  | ) | const

| Returns the pattern to find. Definition at line 249 of file kfinddialog.cpp. References QComboBox::currentText().

void KFindDialog::setPattern | ( | const QString & | pattern | ) |

| Sets the pattern to find. Definition at line 254 of file kfinddialog.cpp. References QComboBox::lineEdit().

QWidget * KFindDialog::findExtension | ( |  | ) |

| Returns an empty widget which the user may fill with additional UI elements as required. The widget occupies the width of the dialog, and is positioned immediately below the regular expression support widgets for the pattern string. Definition at line 75 of file kfinddialog.cpp. References QGridLayout::addMultiCellWidget().

void KFindDialog::okClicked | ( |  | ) | `[signal]`

| The OK button was pressed, the pattern was not empty, and if it is supposed to be a regular expression, it is known to be valid. Reimplemented from KDialogBase.
