## Detailed Description

This class helps applications implement support for KDataTool.

The steps to follow are simple: 1) query for the available tools using KDataToolInfo::query 2) pass the result to KDataToolAction::dataToolActionList (with a slot) 3) plug the resulting actions, either using KXMLGUIClient::plugActionList, or by hand.

The slot defined for step 2 is called when the action is activated, and that's where the tool should be created and run.

## Member Function Documentation

QPtrList< KAction > KDataToolAction::dataToolActionList | ( | const QValueList< KDataToolInfo > & | tools,
|  | const QObject * | receiver,
|  | const char * | slot
| ) | `[static]`

Creates a list of actions from a list of information about data-tools.

The slot must have a signature corresponding to the toolActivated signal.

Note that it's the caller's responsibility to delete the actions when they're not needed anymore.
