can you please provide a small example for the above?....i went thru "
kservicegroup.h" and i did saw an example for geting "screensavers".In the
same way how can i find the programs installed?..
and,
in the Menu creation, where do we 'draw' the Menu?..i want to do something
like WindowsXP start Menu...
and,
in the Menu creation code...in the "service_mnu.cpp",
********************code**********************************************************************************
PanelServiceMenu * m =
newSubMenu(g->name(), g->relPath(), this, g->name().toUtf8(),
inlineHeaderName);
********************code**********************************************************************************
does the above code create a new menu?...so when i check for
"KST_KServiceGroup", i get all the Parents..that is
"Accessories","Games","Development" etc.,.And is the line below which adds
them?..
"int newId = insertItem(iconset, groupCaption, m, id++);"??
and when it comes to "KST_KService", how are those items added as child to
their respective "KST_KServiceGroup" in the insertMenuItem( ) function.??
I really feel very hard to grasp things as am new to KDE Programing...i
would be very hapy if people could help me out..
thanks in advance...
with regards,
C.C.Chakkaradeep
