Detailed Description

An extension for KParts that allows more sophisticated statusbar handling.

Every part can use this class to customize the statusbar as long as it is active. Add items via addStatusBarItem() and remove an item with removeStatusBarItem().

IMPORTANT: do NOT add any items immediately after constructing the extension. Give the application time to set the statusbar in the extension if necessary.

Member Function Documentation

void StatusBarExtension::addStatusBarItem ( QWidget widget,
int  stretch,
bool  permanent 
)

This adds a widget to the statusbar for this part.

If you use this method instead of using statusBar() directly, this extension will take care of removing the items when the parts GUI is deactivated and will re-add them when it is reactivated. The parameters are the same as QStatusBar::addWidget().

Note that you can't use KStatusBar methods (inserting text items by id) but you can create a KStatusBarLabel with a dummy id instead, and use it directly in order to get the same look and feel.

Parameters:
widget the widget to add
stretch the stretch factor. 0 for a minimum size.
permanent passed to QStatusBar::addWidget as the "permanent" bool. Note that the item isn't really permanent though, it goes away when the part is unactivated. This simply controls where temporary messages hide the widget, and whether it's added to the left or to the right side.

IMPORTANT: do NOT add any items immediately after constructing the extension. Give the application time to set the statusbar in the extension if necessary.

StatusBarExtension * StatusBarExtension::childObject ( QObject obj  )  [static]

Queries obj for a child object which inherits from this BrowserExtension class.

Convenience method.

Definition at line 89 of file statusbarextension.cpp.

void StatusBarExtension::removeStatusBarItem ( QWidget widget  ) 

Remove a widget from the statusbar for this part.

Definition at line 160 of file statusbarextension.cpp.

void StatusBarExtension::setStatusBar ( KStatusBar status  ) 

This allows the hosting application to set a particular KStatusBar for this part.

If it doesn't do this, the statusbar used will be the one of the KMainWindow in which the part is embedded. Konqueror uses this to assign a view-statusbar to the part. The part should never call this method!

KStatusBar * StatusBarExtension::statusBar (  )  const
Returns:
the statusbar of the KMainWindow in which this part is currently embedded. WARNING: this could return 0L
