NAME¶
UI::Dialog::Backend::KDialogSYNOPSIS¶
use UI::Dialog::Backend::KDialog; my $d = new UI::Dialog::Backend::KDialog ( backtitle => 'Demo', title => 'Default' );
$d->msgbox( title => 'Welcome!', text => 'Welcome one and all!' );
ABSTRACT¶
UI::Dialog::Backend::KDialog is the UI::Dialog backend for the KDE dialog variant. While this module is used through UI::Dialog or any other loader module only the compatible methods are ever accessible. However, when using this module directly in your application (as in the SYNOPSIS example) you are given access to all the options and features of the real kdialog(1) application.DESCRIPTION¶
Although this dialog variant doesn't have any progress meters, it does have the benefits of many different file/uri/directory widgets. It's a shame that this is the only dialog variant for KDE.EXPORT¶
None
