Detailed Description

This class provides the standard "About Application" dialog box that is used by KHelpMenu. Standard "About Application" dialog box.

It uses the information of the global KAboutData that is specified at the start of you program in main(). Normally you should not use this class directly but rather the KHelpMenu class or even better just subclass your toplevel window from KMainWindow. If you do the latter, the help menu and thereby this dialog box is available through the KMainWindow::helpMenu() function.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

KAboutApplication::KAboutApplication QWidget parent = 0,
const char *  name = 0,
bool  modal = true
 

Constructor.

Creates a fully featured "About Application" dialog box. Note that this dialog is made modeless in the KHelpMenu class so the users may expect a modeless dialog.

Parameters:
parent The parent of the dialog box. You should use the toplevel window so that the dialog becomes centered.
name Internal name of the widget. This name is not used in the caption.
modal If false, this widget will be modeless and must be made visible using QWidget::show(). Otherwise it will be modal and must be made visible using QWidget::exec().

KAboutApplication::KAboutApplication const KAboutData aboutData,
QWidget parent = 0,
const char *  name = 0,
bool  modal = true
 

Constructor.

Mostly does the same stuff as the above constructor, except that it can take a custom KAboutData object instead of the one specified in your main() function. This is especially useful for applications which are implemented as (dynamically loaded) libraries, e.g. panel applets.

Parameters:
aboutData A pointer to a KAboutData object which data will be used for filling the dialog.
parent The parent of the dialog box. You should use the toplevel window so that the dialog becomes centered.
name Internal name of the widget. This name is not used in the caption.
modal If false, this widget will be modeless and must be made visible using QWidget::show(). Otherwise it will be modal and must be made visible using QWidget::exec().
