/** \mainpage Polkit-qt-1 - Qt wrapper around polkit-1 \section polkitqt1_overview Overview \note Please note that if you're developing an application on the KDE Development Platform and not just with Qt, you might want to use KAuth (kdelibs/core/auth) polkit-qt-1 aims to make it easy for Qt developers to take advantage of polkit API. It is a convenience wrapper around QAction and QAbstractButton that lets you integrate those two components easily with polkit. polkit-qt-1 is not a direct replacement of polkit-qt: it is based on polkit-1, which is not backwards compatible in any way with Policykit <= 0.9, which was the backend of polkit-qt. You are encouraged to port polkit-qt applications to polkit-qt or KAuth, if based on the KDE Development Platform, since PolicyKit <= 0.9 is no longer maintained. polkit-qt-1 is split in three libraries: polkit-qt-core-1, polkit-qt-gui-1 and polkit-qt-agent-1 \b polkit-qt-core-1 lets you control actions and authentication without a GUI, with some very simple functions. It also lets you retrieve and control useful informations on the polkit authority. You will be mostly interested in the \c Authority class. \b polkit-qt-gui-1 lets you easily associate GUI items with polkit actions. Through some simple wrapper classes you are able to associate QAction and QAbstractButton to a polkit action, and get their properties changed accordingly to polkit's result. It includes the classes Action, ActionButton and ActionButtons \b polkit-qt-agent-1 lets you write your own polkit authentication agents in a very simple way. \li A sample usage of polkit-qt-1 can be found in \ref polkitqt1_example \li Alphabetical Class List \li Class Hierarchy \page polkitqt1_example Polkit-qt-1 usage example You can find an example usage of Polkit-qt-1 in the examples/ dir. You can build it by passing \c -DBUILD_EXAMPLES=TRUE to your cmake line. The structure consists of a .ui file and a main class, to demonstrate how easy it is to integrate polkit support in an existing application. Let's see some details about it: \code bt = new ActionButton(kickPB, "org.qt.policykit.examples.kick", this); bt->setText("Kick... (long)"); // here we set the behavior of PolKitResul = No bt->setVisible(true, Action::No); bt->setEnabled(true, Action::No); bt->setText("Kick (long)", Action::No); bt->setIcon(QPixmap(":/Icons/custom-no.png"), Action::No); bt->setToolTip("If your admin wasn't annoying, you could do this", Action::No); // here we set the behavior of PolKitResul = Auth bt->setVisible(true, Action::Auth); bt->setEnabled(true, Action::Auth); bt->setText("Kick... (long)", Action::Auth); bt->setIcon(QPixmap(":/Icons/action-locked-default.png"), Action::Auth); bt->setToolTip("Only card carrying tweakers can do this!", Action::Auth); // here we set the behavior of PolKitResul = Yes bt->setVisible(true, Action::Yes); bt->setEnabled(true, Action::Yes); bt->setText("Kick! (long)", Action::Yes); bt->setIcon(QPixmap(":/Icons/custom-yes.png"), Action::Yes); bt->setToolTip("Go ahead, kick kick kick!", Action::Yes); \endcode This small paragraph sets up an action button using an existing button defined in the UI file, \c kickPB . As you can see, you can set custom properties on your button depending on the action status/result. The code is mostly self-explainatory \code bt = new ActionButtons(QList() << listenPB << listenCB, "org.qt.policykit.examples.listen", this); bt->setIcon(QPixmap(":/Icons/action-locked.png")); bt->setIcon(QPixmap(":/Icons/action-unlocked.png"), Action::Yes); bt->setText("Click to make changes..."); \endcode This demonstrates the use of ActionButtons, that lets you associate multiple buttons with a single action with extreme ease. \c listenPB and \c listenCB, both defined in the ui file, are kept in sync with the action. \code connect(bt, SIGNAL(triggered(bool)), this, SLOT(activateAction())); connect(bt, SIGNAL(clicked(QAbstractButton*,bool)), bt, SLOT(activate())); connect(bt, SIGNAL(authorized()), this, SLOT(actionActivated())); \endcode Those three signals are all you need to control the action and the activation. Action::triggered() lets you start the activation/revoke when needed, ActionButton::clicked() lets you do the same thing with even more ease, just by manually connecting the signal to ActionButton::activate() (see the docs to understand why this connection doesn't happen automatically), and Action::authorized() signal notifies you when polkit has authorized you to perform the action. As you can see, usage of polkit-qt-1 is extremely simple. Have a look at the complete example and to the API Docs for more details. */ // DOXYGEN_PROJECTVERSION=0.96.1 // DOXYGEN_PROJECTNAME=PolkitQt-1 // DOXYGEN_ENABLE=YES // vim:ts=4:sw=4:expandtab:filetype=doxygen
