## Detailed Description

The main properties dialog class.

A Properties Dialog is a dialog which displays various information about a particular file or URL, or several ones. This main class holds various related classes, which are instantiated in the form of tab entries in the tabbed dialog that this class provides. The various tabs themselves will let the user view or change information about the file or URL.

This class must be created with (void)new KPropertiesDialog(...) It will take care of deleting itself.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

KPropertiesDialog::KPropertiesDialog | ( | KFileItem * | item,
|  | QWidget * | parent = 0L,
|  | const char * | name = 0L,
|  | bool | modal = false,
|  | bool | autoShow = true
| ) |

  | Brings up a Properties dialog. Normal constructor for file-manager-like applications. Normally you will use this method rather than the one below. Parameters:
  item | file item whose properties should be displayed.
  parent | is the parent of the dialog widget.
  name | is the internal name.
  modal | tells the dialog whether it should be modal.
  autoShow | tells the dialog whethr it should show itself automatically.
Definition at line 132 of file kpropertiesdialog.cpp. References QPtrList::append(), KIO::decodeFileName(), KURL::isEmpty(), KStdAccel::name(), and KFileItem::url().

KPropertiesDialog::KPropertiesDialog | ( | KFileItemList | _items,
|  | QWidget * | parent = 0L,
|  | const char * | name = 0L,
|  | bool | modal = false,
|  | bool | autoShow = true
| ) |

  | Brings up a Properties dialog. Normal constructor for file-manager-like applications. Parameters:
  _items | list of file items whose properties should be displayed.
  parent | is the parent of the dialog widget.
  name | is the internal name.
  modal | tells the dialog whether it should be modal.
  autoShow | tells the dialog whethr it should show itself automatically.
Definition at line 160 of file kpropertiesdialog.cpp. References QPtrList::append(), QPtrListIterator::current(), KIO::decodeFileName(), QPtrList::first(), KURL::isEmpty(), QPtrList::isEmpty(), and KStdAccel::name().

KPropertiesDialog::KPropertiesDialog | ( | const KURL & | _url,
|  | mode_t | _mode,
|  | QWidget * | parent = 0L,
|  | const char * | name = 0L,
|  | bool | modal = false,
|  | bool | autoShow = true
| ) |

  | This class or method is obsolete, it is provided for compatibility only. Brings up a Properties dialog. Convenience constructor for non-file-manager applications. Parameters:
  _url | the URL whose properties should be displayed
  _mode | unused.
  parent | is the parent of the dialog widget.
  name | is the internal name.
  modal | tells the dialog whether it should be modal.
  autoShow | tells the dialog whethr it should show itself automatically.
Definition at line 182 of file kpropertiesdialog.cpp. References KIO::decodeFileName(), KURL::isEmpty(), KStdAccel::name(), QDialog::result(), and KIO::stat().

KPropertiesDialog::KPropertiesDialog | ( | const KURL & | _url,
|  | QWidget * | parent = 0L,
|  | const char * | name = 0L,
|  | bool | modal = false,
|  | bool | autoShow = true
| ) |

  | Brings up a Properties dialog. Convenience constructor for non-file-manager applications. Parameters:
  _url | the URL whose properties should be displayed
  parent | is the parent of the dialog widget.
  name | is the internal name.
  modal | tells the dialog whether it should be modal. IMPORTANT: This constructor, together with modal=true, leads to a grave display bug (due to KIO::stat() being run before the dialog has all the necessary information). Do not use this combination for now. For local files with a known mimetype, simply create a KFileItem and pass it to the other constructor.
  autoShow | tells the dialog whethr it should show itself automatically.
Definition at line 202 of file kpropertiesdialog.cpp. References KIO::decodeFileName(), KURL::isEmpty(), KStdAccel::name(), QDialog::result(), and KIO::stat().

KPropertiesDialog::KPropertiesDialog | ( | const KURL & | _tempUrl,
|  | const KURL & | _currentDir,
|  | const QString & | _defaultName,
|  | QWidget * | parent = 0L,
|  | const char * | name = 0L,
|  | bool | modal = false,
|  | bool | autoShow = true
| ) |

  | Creates a properties dialog for a new .desktop file (whose name is not known yet), based on a template. Special constructor for "File / New" in file-manager applications. Parameters:
  _templUrl | template used for reading only
  _currentDir | directory where the file will be written to
  _defaultName | something to put in the name field, like mimetype.desktop
  parent | is the parent of the dialog widget.
  name | is the internal name.
  modal | tells the dialog whether it should be modal.
  autoShow | tells the dialog whethr it should show itself automatically.
Definition at line 221 of file kpropertiesdialog.cpp. References QPtrList::append(), KIO::decodeFileName(), KURL::isEmpty(), and KStdAccel::name().

KPropertiesDialog::KPropertiesDialog | ( | const QString & | title,
|  | QWidget * | parent = 0L,
|  | const char * | name = 0L,
|  | bool | modal = false
| ) |

  | Creates an empty properties dialog (for applications that want use a standard dialog, but for things not doable via the plugin-mechanism). Parameters:
  title | is the string display as the "filename" in the caption of the dialog.
  parent | is the parent of the dialog widget.
  name | is the internal name.
  modal | tells the dialog whether it should be modal.
Definition at line 149 of file kpropertiesdialog.cpp. References KStdAccel::name().

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

| Cleans up the properties dialog and frees any associated resources, including the dialog itself. Note that when a properties dialog is closed it cleans up and deletes itself. Definition at line 304 of file kpropertiesdialog.cpp. References QPtrList< KPropsDlgPlugin >::clear().

## Member Function Documentation

bool KPropertiesDialog::canDisplay | ( | KFileItemList | _items | ) | `[static]`

| Returns: whether there are any property pages available for the given file items Definition at line 318 of file kpropertiesdialog.cpp. References KFileMetaPropsPlugin::supports(), KFilePermissionsPropsPlugin::supports(), and KFilePropsPlugin::supports().

void KPropertiesDialog::insertPlugin | ( | KPropsDlgPlugin * | plugin | ) |

  | Adds a "3rd party" properties plugin to the dialog. Useful for extending the properties mechanism. To create a new plugin type, inherit from the base class KPropsPlugin and implement all the methods. If you define a service .desktop file for your plugin, you do not need to call insertPlugin(). Parameters:
  plugin | is a pointer to the PropsPlugin. The Properties dialog will do destruction for you. The KPropsPlugin MUST have been created with the KPropertiesDialog as its parent.
