Class KEditToolBar
Inherits KDialog

A dialog used to customize or configure toolbars.

This dialog only works if your application uses the XML UI framework for creating menus and toolbars. It depends on the XML files to describe the toolbar layouts and it requires the actions to determine which buttons are active.

Typically, you would include the KStdAction.configureToolBars() standard action in your application. In your slot to this action, you would have something like so:

KEditToolBar dlg(actionCollection());
if (dlg.exec())
{
createGUI();
}

That code snippet also takes care of redrawing the menu and toolbars if you have made any changes.

If you are using KMainWindow's settings methods (either save/apply manually or autoSaveSettings), you should write something like:

void MyClass.slotConfigureToolBars()
{
saveMainWindowSettings( KGlobal.config(), "MainWindow" );
KEditToolBar dlg(actionCollection());
connect(&dlg,SIGNAL(newToolBarConfig()),this,SLOT(slotNewToolBarConfig()));
dlg.exec();
}

void MyClass.slotNewToolBarConfig() // This is called when OK, Apply or Defaults is clicked { ...if you use any action list, use plugActionList on each here... createGUI(); applyMainWindowSettings( KGlobal.config(), "MainWindow" ); }

Note that the procedure is a bit different for KParts applications. In this case, you need only pass along a pointer to your application's KXMLGUIFactory object. The editor will take care of finding all of the action collections and XML files. The editor aims to be semi-intelligent about where it assigns any modifications. In other words, it will not write out part specific changes to your shell's XML file.

An example would be:

saveMainWindowSettings( KGlobal.config(), "MainWindow" );
KEditToolBar dlg(factory());
connect(&dlg,SIGNAL(newToolBarConfig()),this,SLOT(slotNewToolBarConfig()));
dlg.exec();

void MyClass.slotNewToolBarConfig() // This is called when OK, Apply or Defaults is clicked { ...if you use any action list, use plugActionList on each here... // Do NOT call createGUI()! applyMainWindowSettings( KGlobal.config(), "MainWindow" ); }
