Detailed Description

A font selection dialog.

The KFontDialog provides a dialog for interactive font selection. It is basically a thin wrapper around the KFontChooser widget, which can also be used standalone. In most cases, the simplest use of this class is the static method KFontDialog::getFont(), which pops up the dialog, allows the user to select a font, and returns when the dialog is closed.

Example:

      QFont myFont;
      int result = KFontDialog::getFont( myFont );
      if ( result == KFontDialog::Accepted )
            ...

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

KFontDialog::KFontDialog (  QWidget *    parent = 0L, const char *    name = 0, bool    onlyFixed = false, bool    modal = false, const QStringList &    fontlist = QStringList(), bool    makeFrame = true, bool    diff = false, QButton::ToggleState *    sizeIsRelativeState = 0L )

Constructs a font selection dialog. Parameters: parent  The parent widget of the dialog, if any. name  The name of the dialog. modal  Specifies whether the dialog is modal or not. onlyFixed  only display fonts which have fixed-width character sizes. fontlist  a list of fonts to display, in XLFD format. If no list is formatted, the internal KDE font list is used. If that has not been created, X is queried, and all fonts available on the system are displayed. makeFrame  Draws a frame with titles around the contents. diff  Display the difference version dialog. See getFontDiff(). sizeIsRelativeState  If not zero the widget will show a checkbox where the user may choose whether the font size is to be interpreted as relative size. Initial state of this checkbox will be set according to *sizeIsRelativeState, user choice may be retrieved by calling sizeIsRelative().

Member Function Documentation

QFont KFontDialog::font (    )  const [inline]

Returns: The currently selected font in the dialog. Definition at line 364 of file kfontdialog.h. References KFontChooser::font(). Referenced by setFont().

void KFontDialog::fontSelected (  const QFont &    font )  [signal]

Emitted whenever the currently selected font changes. Connect to this to monitor the font as it is selected if you are not running modal.

int KFontDialog::getFont (  QFont &    theFont, bool    onlyFixed = false, QWidget *    parent = 0L, bool    makeFrame = true, QButton::ToggleState *    sizeIsRelativeState = 0L )  [static]

Creates a modal font dialog, lets the user choose a font, and returns when the dialog is closed. Parameters: theFont  a reference to the font to write the chosen font into. onlyFixed  if true, only select from fixed-width fonts. parent  Parent widget of the dialog. Specifying a widget different from 0 (Null) improves centering (looks better). makeFrame  Draws a frame with titles around the contents. sizeIsRelativeState  If not zero the widget will show a checkbox where the user may choose whether the font size is to be interpreted as relative size. Initial state of this checkbox will be set according to *sizeIsRelativeState and user choice will be returned therein. Returns: QDialog::result().

int KFontDialog::getFontAndText (  QFont &    theFont, QString &    theString, bool    onlyFixed = false, QWidget *    parent = 0L, bool    makeFrame = true, QButton::ToggleState *    sizeIsRelativeState = 0L )  [static]

When you are not only interested in the font selected, but also in the example string typed in, you can call this method. Parameters: theFont  a reference to the font to write the chosen font into. theString  a reference to the example text that was typed. onlyFixed  if true, only select from fixed-width fonts. parent  Parent widget of the dialog. Specifying a widget different from 0 (Null) improves centering (looks better). makeFrame  Draws a frame with titles around the contents. sizeIsRelativeState  If not zero the widget will show a checkbox where the user may choose whether the font size is to be interpreted as relative size. Initial state of this checkbox will be set according to *sizeIsRelativeState and user choice will be returned therein. Returns: The result of the dialog.

int KFontDialog::getFontDiff (  QFont &    theFont, int &    diffFlags, bool    onlyFixed = false, QWidget *    parent = 0L, bool    makeFrame = true, QButton::ToggleState *    sizeIsRelativeState = 0L )  [static]

Creates a modal font difference dialog, lets the user choose a selection of changes that should be made to a set of fonts, and returns when the dialog is closed. Useful for choosing slight adjustments to the font set when the user would otherwise have to manually edit a number of fonts. Parameters: theFont  a reference to the font to write the chosen font into. diffFlags  a reference to the int into which the chosen difference selection bitmask should be written. Check the returned bitmask like: if ( diffFlags & KFontChooser::FontDiffFamily ) [...] if ( diffFlags & KFontChooser::FontDiffStyle ) [...] if ( diffFlags & KFontChooser::FontDiffSize ) [...] onlyFixed  if true, only select from fixed-width fonts. parent  Parent widget of the dialog. Specifying a widget different from 0 (Null) improves centering (looks better). makeFrame  Draws a frame with titles around the contents. sizeIsRelativeState  If not zero the widget will show a checkbox where the user may choose whether the font size is to be interpreted as relative size. Initial state of this checkbox will be set according to *sizeIsRelativeState and user choice will be returned therein. Returns: QDialog::result().

void KFontDialog::setFont (  const QFont &    font, bool    onlyFixed = false )  [inline]

Sets the currently selected font in the dialog. Parameters: font  The font to select. onlyFixed  readjust the font list to display only fixed width fonts if true, or vice-versa Definition at line 358 of file kfontdialog.h. References font(), and KFontChooser::setFont().

void KFontDialog::setSizeIsRelative (  QButton::ToggleState    relative )  [inline]

Sets the state of the checkbox indicating whether the font size is to be interpreted as relative size. NOTE: If parameter sizeIsRelative was not set in the constructor of the dialog this setting will be ignored. Definition at line 372 of file kfontdialog.h. References KFontChooser::setSizeIsRelative().

QButton::ToggleState KFontDialog::sizeIsRelative (    )  const [inline]

Returns: Whether the font size is to be interpreted as relative size (default: false) Definition at line 379 of file kfontdialog.h. References KFontChooser::sizeIsRelative().
