Detailed Description

A service type is the generic notion for a mimetype, a type of service instead of a type of file. For instance, KOfficeFilter is a service type. It is associated to services according to the user profile (kuserprofile.h)

typedef KSharedPtr<KServiceType> Ptr

typedef QValueList<Ptr> List

 KServiceType ( const QString & _fullpath, const QString& _name, const QString& _icon, const QString& _comment)

Constructor. You may pass in arguments to create a servicetype with specific properties

 KServiceType ( const QString & _fullpath )

Construct a service type and take all informations from a config file.

Parameters:
_fullpathset to "" if calling from a inherited constructor.

 KServiceType ( KDesktopFile *config)

Construct a service type and take all informations from a deskop file.

 KServiceType ( QDataStream& _str, int offset )

The stream must already be positionned at the correct offset

~ KServiceType ()

[virtual]

QString  icon ()

[const]

Returns: the icon associated with this service type. Some derived classes offer special functions which take for example an URL and returns a special icon for this URL. An example is KMimeType, KFoldeType and others.

QString  comment ()

[const]

Returns: the descriptive comment associated, if any.

QString  name ()

[const]

Returns: the name of this service type.

Reimplemented from KSycocaEntry.

QString  desktopEntryPath ()

[const]

Returns: the relative path to the desktop entry file responsible for this servicetype. For instance inode/directory.desktop, or kpart.desktop

QVariant  property ( const QString& _name )

[const virtual]

QStringList  propertyNames ()

[const virtual]

bool  isValid ()

[const]

Reimplemented from KSycocaEntry.

QVariant::Type  propertyDef ( const QString& _name )

[const virtual]

QStringList  propertyDefNames ()

[const virtual]

const QMap<QString,QVariant::Type>&  propertyDefs ()

[const virtual]

void  save ( QDataStream& )

[virtual]

Save ourselves to the data stream.

Reimplemented from KSycocaEntry.

void  load ( QDataStream& )

[virtual]

Load ourselves from the data stream.

Reimplemented from KSycocaEntry.

Ptr  serviceType ( const QString& _name )

[static]

Returns: a pointer to the servicetype '_name' or 0L if the service type is unknown. VERY IMPORTANT : don't store the result in a KServiceType * !

KService::List  offers ( const QString& _servicetype )

[static]

Returns: all services supporting the given servicetype name This doesn't take care of the user profile. In fact it is used by the KServiceTypeProfile, which is the one you should use.

List  allServiceTypes ()

[static]

Returns: a list of all the supported servicetypes. Useful for showing the list of available servicetypes in a listbox, for example. More memory consuming than the ones above, don't use unless really necessary.
