## Detailed Description

This class is typically used like this:.

// Lookup screensaver group KServiceGroup::Ptr group = KServiceGroup::baseGroup("screensavers"); if (!group || !group->isValid()) return;

KServiceGroup::List list = group->entries();

// Iterate over all entries in the group for( KServiceGroup::List::ConstIterator it = list.begin(); it != list.end(); it++) { KSycocaEntry *p = (*it); if (p->isType(KST_KService)) { KService *s = static_cast<KService *>(p); printf("Name = %s\n", s->name().latin1()); } else if (p->isType(KST_KServiceGroup)) { KServiceGroup *g = static_cast<KServiceGroup *>(p); // Sub group ... } }

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

KServiceGroup::KServiceGroup | ( | const QString & | name | ) |

| Construct a dummy servicegroup indexed with `name` Since: 3.1. Definition at line 40 of file kservicegroup.cpp. References KSycocaEntry::m_bDeleted, and name().

KServiceGroup::KServiceGroup | ( | const QString & | _fullpath,
|  | const QString & | _relpath
| ) |

  | Construct a service and take all informations from a config file. Parameters:
  _fullpath | full path to the config file
  _relpath | relative path to the config file
Definition at line 47 of file kservicegroup.cpp. References QString::findRev(), QString::isEmpty(), QString::left(), QString::length(), KSycocaEntry::m_bDeleted, QString::mid(), KConfigBase::readBoolEntry(), KConfigBase::readEntry(), QString::right(), and KConfigBase::setDesktopGroup().

## Member Function Documentation

bool KServiceGroup::isValid | ( |  | ) | const`[inline, virtual]`

| Returns: true Implements KSycocaEntry. Definition at line 97 of file kservicegroup.h.

virtual QString KServiceGroup::name | ( |  | ) | const`[inline, virtual]`

| Name used for indexing. Implements KSycocaEntry. Definition at line 102 of file kservicegroup.h. References KSycocaEntry::entryPath(). Referenced by entries(), and KServiceGroup().

QString KServiceGroup::caption | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

| Returns: the caption of this group Definition at line 108 of file kservicegroup.h.

QString KServiceGroup::icon | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

| Returns: the icon associated with the group. Definition at line 113 of file kservicegroup.h.

QString KServiceGroup::comment | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

| Returns: the descriptive comment for the group, if there is one. Definition at line 118 of file kservicegroup.h.

int KServiceGroup::childCount | ( |  | ) |

| Returns: the total number of displayable services in this group and any of its subgroups. Definition at line 93 of file kservicegroup.cpp. References QValueList::begin(), QValueList::end(), KSycocaEntry::isType(), and KService::noDisplay().

bool KServiceGroup::noDisplay | ( |  | ) | const

| Returns: true if the NoDisplay flag was set, i.e. if this group should be hidden from menus, while still being in ksycoca. Since: 3.1 Definition at line 120 of file kservicegroup.cpp. Referenced by entries().

KServiceGroup::List KServiceGroup::entries | ( | bool | sorted,
|  | bool | excludeNoDisplay
| ) | `[virtual]`

  | List of all Services and ServiceGroups within this ServiceGroup. Parameters:
  sorted | indicates whether to sort items
  whether | to include items marked "NoDisplay"
Definition at line 202 of file kservicegroup.cpp. References QValueList::append(), QValueList< KSortableItem< T, Key > >::begin(), QValueList::begin(), QValueList< KSortableItem< T, Key > >::end(), QValueList::end(), QString::findRev(), QString::fromUtf8(), KSortableValueList< T, Key >::insert(), KSycocaEntry::isType(), KStdAccel::key(), QString::length(), KSycocaEntry::List, QString::local8Bit(), m_serviceList, QString::mid(), KStdAccel::name(), KSycocaEntry::name(), name(), KService::noDisplay(), noDisplay(), QValueList::remove(), KSortableValueList< T, Key >::sort(), and QString::truncate(). Referenced by entries().

KServiceGroup::List KServiceGroup::entries | ( | bool | sorted = false | ) | `[virtual]`

| As above with excludeNoDisplay true. Definition at line 196 of file kservicegroup.cpp. References entries().

QString KServiceGroup::baseGroupName | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

| Returns: non-empty string if the group is a special base group. By default, "Settings/" is the kcontrol base group ("settings") and "System/Screensavers/" is the screensavers base group ("screensavers"). This allows moving the groups without breaking those apps. The base group is defined by the X-KDE-BaseGroup key in the .directory file. Definition at line 165 of file kservicegroup.h.

KServiceGroup::Ptr KServiceGroup::baseGroup | ( | const QString & | baseGroupName | ) | `[static]`

| Returns: the group for the given baseGroupName Can return 0L if the directory (or the .directory file) was deleted. Definition at line 331 of file kservicegroup.cpp.

KServiceGroup::Ptr KServiceGroup::childGroup | ( | const QString & | parent | ) | `[static]`

| Returns: the group of services that have X-KDE-ParentApp equal to `parent` Since: 3.1 Definition at line 350 of file kservicegroup.cpp.
