KAssistantDialog Class Reference
from PyKDE4.kdeui import *
Inherits: KPageDialog → KDialog → QDialog → QWidget → QObject
Detailed Description
This class provides a framework for assistant dialogs.
The use of this class is the same as KWizard in KDE3. You should use the word "assistant" instead of "wizard" both in the source and translatable strings.
An assistant dialog consists of a sequence of pages. Its purpose is to guide the user (assist) through a process step by step. Assistant dialogs are useful for complex or infrequently occurring tasks that people may find difficult to learn or do. Sometimes a task requires too many input fields to fit them on a single dialog.
KAssistantDialog provides page titles and displays Next, Back, Finish, Cancel, and Help push buttons, as appropriate to the current position in the page sequence. The Finish Button has the code KDialog.User1, The Next button is KDialog.User2 and the Back button is KDialog.User3. The help button may be hidden using showButton(KDialog.Help, false)
Create and populate dialog pages that inherit from QWidget and add them to the assistant dialog using addPage().
The functions next() and back() are virtual and may be reimplemented to override the default actions of the next and back buttons.
