0026  * @class KConfigDialogManager kconfigdialogmanager.h KConfigDialogManager
0027  *
0028  * @short Provides a means of automatically retrieving,
0029  * saving and resetting KConfigSkeleton based settings in a dialog.
0030  *
0031  * The KConfigDialogManager class provides a means of automatically
0032  * retrieving, saving and resetting basic settings.
0033  * It also can emit signals when settings have been changed
0034  * (settings were saved) or modified (the user changes a checkbox
0035  * from on to off).
0036  *
0037  * The object names of the widgets to be managed have to correspond to the names of the
0038  * configuration entries in the KConfigSkeleton object plus an additional
0039  * "kcfg_" prefix. For example a widget with the object name "kcfg_MyOption"
0040  * would be associated to the configuration entry "MyOption".
0041  *
0042  * The widget classes of Qt and KDE Frameworks are supported out of the box,
0043  * for other widgets see below:
0044  *
0045  * @par Using Custom Widgets
0046  * @parblock
0047  * Custom widget classes are supported if they have a Q_PROPERTY defined for the
0048  * property representing the value edited by the widget. By default the property
0049  * is used for which "USER true" is set. For using another property, see below.
0050  *
0051  * Example:
0052  *
0053  * A class ColorEditWidget is used in the settings UI to select a color. The
0054  * color value is set and read as type QColor. For that it has a definition of
0055  * the value property similar to this:
0056  * \code
0057  * Q_PROPERTY(QColor color READ color WRITE setColor NOTIFY colorChanged USER true)
0058  * \endcode
0059  * And of course it has the definition and implementation of the respective
0060  * read & write methods and the notify signal.
0061  * This class then can be used directly with KConfigDialogManager and does not need
0062  * further setup.
0063  * @endparblock
0064  *
0065  * @par Using Other Properties than The USER Property
0066  * @parblock
0067  * To use a widget's property that is not the USER property, the property to use
0068  * can be selected by setting onto the widget instance a property with the key
0069  * "kcfg_property" and as the value the name of the property:
0070  * \code
0071  * ColorEditWidget *myWidget = new ColorEditWidget;
0072  * myWidget->setProperty("kcfg_property", QByteArray("redColorPart"));
0073  * \endcode
0074  * This selection of the property to use is just valid for this widget instance.
0075  * When using a UI file, the "kcfg_property" property can also be set using Qt Designer.
0076  * @endparblock
0077  *
0078  * @par Configuring Classes to use Other Properties Globally
0079  * @parblock
0080  * Alternatively a non-USER property can be defined for a widget class globally
0081  * by registering it for the class in the KConfigDialogManager::propertyMap().
0082  * This global registration has lower priority than any "kcfg_property" property
0083  * set on a class instance though, so the latter overrules this global setting.
0084  * Note: setting the property in the propertyMap affects any instances of that
0085  * widget class in the current application, so use only when needed and prefer
0086  * instead the "kcfg_property" property. Especially with software with many
0087  * libraries and 3rd-party plugins in one process there is a chance of
0088  * conflicting settings.
0089  *
0090  * Example:
0091  *
0092  * If the ColorEditWidget has another property redColor defined by
0093  * \code
0094  * Q_PROPERTY(int redColorPart READ redColorPart WRITE setRedColorPart NOTIFY redColorPartChanged)
0095  * \endcode
0096  * and this one should be used in the settings, call somewhere in the code before
0097  * using the settings:
0098  * \code
0099  * KConfigDialogManager::propertyMap()->insert("ColorEditWidget", QByteArray("redColorPart"));
0100  * \endcode
0101  * @endparblock
0102  *
0103  * @par Using Different Signals than The NOTIFY Signal
0104  * @parblock
0105  * If some non-default signal should be used, e.g. because the property to use does not
0106  * have a NOTIFY setting, for a given widget instance the signal to use can be set
0107  * by a property with the key "kcfg_propertyNotify" and as the value the signal signature.
0108  * This will take priority over the signal noted by NOTIFY for the chosen property
0109  * as well as the content of KConfigDialogManager::changedMap(). Since 5.32.
0110  *
0111  * Example:
0112  *
0113  * If for a class OtherColorEditWidget there was no NOTIFY set on the USER property,
0114  * but some signal colorSelected(QColor) defined which would be good enough to reflect
0115  * the settings change, defined by
0116  * \code
0117  * Q_PROPERTY(QColor color READ color WRITE setColor USER true)
0118  * Q_SIGNALS:
0119  *     void colorSelected(const QColor &color);
0120  * \endcode
0121  * the signal to use would be defined by this:
0122  * \code
0123  * OtherColorEditWidget *myWidget = new OtherColorEditWidget;
0124  * myWidget->setProperty("kcfg_propertyNotify", QByteArray(SIGNAL(colorSelected(QColor))));
0125  * \endcode
