ModificationInterface Class Reference
from PyKDE4.ktexteditor import *
Namespace: KTextEditor
Detailed Description
External modification extension interface for the Document.
Introduction
The class ModificationInterface provides methods to handle modifications of all opened files caused by external programs. Whenever the modified-on-disk state changes the signal modifiedOnDisk() is emitted along with a ModifiedOnDiskReason. Set the state by calling setModifiedOnDisk(). Whether the Editor should show warning dialogs to inform the user about external modified files can be controlled with setModifiedOnDiskWarning(). The slot modifiedOnDisk() is called to ask the user what to do whenever a file was modified.
Accessing the ModificationInterface
The ModificationInterface is supposed to be an extension interface for a Document, i.e. the Document inherits the interface provided that the used KTextEditor library implements the interface. Use qobject_cast to access the interface:
// doc is of type KTextEditor.Document* KTextEditor.ModificationInterface *iface = qobject_cast<KTextEditor.ModificationInterface*>( doc ); if( iface ) { // the implementation supports the interface // do stuff }

- Abstract method:
- This method is abstract and can be overridden but not called directly.
This signal is emitted whenever the document changed its modified-on-disk state.
- Parameters:
-
document the Document object that represents the file on disk
- Parameters:
-
isModified if true, the file was modified rather than created or deleted
- Parameters:
-
reason the reason why the signal was emitted
- See also:
- setModifiedOnDisk()
setModifiedOnDisk | ( | self, | ||
KTextEditor.ModificationInterface.ModifiedOnDiskReason | reason | |||
) |
- Abstract method:
- This method is abstract and can be overridden but not called directly.
Set the document's modified-on-disk state to reason. KTextEditor implementations should emit the signal modifiedOnDisk() along with the reason. When the document is in a clean state again the reason should be ModifiedOnDiskReason.OnDiskUnmodified.
- Parameters:
-
reason the modified-on-disk reason.
- See also:
- ModifiedOnDiskReason, modifiedOnDisk()
setModifiedOnDiskWarning | ( | self, | ||
bool | on | |||
) |
- Abstract method:
- This method is abstract and can be overridden but not called directly.
Control, whether the editor should show a warning dialog whenever a file was modified on disk. If on is true the editor will show warning dialogs.
- Parameters:
-
on controls, whether the editor should show a warning dialog for files modified on disk
slotModifiedOnDisk | ( | self, | ||
KTextEditor.View | view=0 | |||
) |
- Abstract method:
- This method is abstract and can be overridden but not called directly.
Ask the user what to do, if the file was modified on disk. The argument view is used to avoid asking again, when the editor regains focus after the dialog is hidden.
- Parameters:
-
view the view that should be notified of the user's decision
- See also:
- setModifiedOnDisk(), modifiedOnDisk()
