Member Function Documentation

KCharsets* KGlobal::charsets (    )  [static]

The global charset manager. Returns: the global charset manager

KConfig* KGlobal::config (    )  [static]

Returns the general config object. Returns: the global configuration object.

void KGlobal::deleteStaticDeleters (    )  [static]

Calls KStaticDeleterBase::destructObject() on all registered static deleters and unregisters them all. See also: KStaticDeleterBase , KStaticDeleter

KStandardDirs* KGlobal::dirs (    )  [static]

Returns the application standard dirs object. Returns: the global standard dir object

KIconLoader* KGlobal::iconLoader (    )  [static]

Returns an iconloader object. Returns: the global iconloader object

KInstance* KGlobal::instance (    )  [static]

Returns the global instance. There is always at least one instance of a component in one application (in most cases the application itself). Returns: the global instance

KLocale* KGlobal::locale (    )  [static]

Returns the global locale object. Returns: the global locale object

void KGlobal::registerStaticDeleter (  KStaticDeleterBase *    d )  [static]

Registers a static deleter. Parameters: d  the static deleter to register See also: KStaticDeleterBase , KStaticDeleter Referenced by KStaticDeleter< type >::setObject().

void KGlobal::setActiveInstance (  KInstance *    d )  [static]

The instance currently active (useful in a multi-instance application, such as a KParts application). Don't use this - it's mainly for KAboutDialog and KBugReport.

const QString& KGlobal::staticQString (  const QString &    str )  [static]

Creates a static QString. To be used inside functions(!) like: static const QString &myString = KGlobal::staticQString(i18n("My Text")); !!! Do _NOT_ use: !!! static QString myString = KGlobal::staticQString(i18n("myText")); This creates a static object (instead of a static reference) and as you know static objects are EVIL. Parameters: str  the string to create Returns: the static string

const QString& KGlobal::staticQString (  const char *    str )  [static]

Creates a static QString. To be used inside functions(!) like: static const QString &myString = KGlobal::staticQString("myText"); !!! Do _NOT_ use: !!! static QString myString = KGlobal::staticQString("myText"); This creates a static object (instead of a static reference) and as you know static objects are EVIL. Parameters: str  the string to create Returns: the static string

void KGlobal::unregisterStaticDeleter (  KStaticDeleterBase *    d )  [static]

Unregisters a static deleter. Parameters: d  the static deleter to unregister See also: KStaticDeleterBase , KStaticDeleter Referenced by KStaticDeleter< type >::setObject().
