Preferences items + can be registered by the addItem() function corresponding to the data type of + the seetting. KPrefs then handles reading and writing of config files and + setting of default values. + + Normally you will subclass KPrefs, add data members for the preferences + settings and register the members in the constructor of the subclass. + + Example: +
+  class MyPrefs : public KPrefs {
+    public:
+      MyPrefs()
+      {
+        setCurrentGroup("MyGroup");
+        addItemBool("MySetting1",&mMyBool,false);

+        
+        setCurrentGroup("MyOtherGroup");
+        addItemFont("MySetting3",&mMyFont,QFont("helvetica",12));

+      
+      bool mMyBool;
+      QColor mMyColor;

+ + It might be convenient in many cases to make this subclass of KPrefs a + singleton for global access from all over the application without passing + references to the KPrefs object around. + + You can set all values to default values by calling @ref setDefaults(), write + the data to the configuration file by calling @ref writeConfig() and read the + data from the configuration file by calling @ref readConfig(). + + If you have items, which are not covered by the existing addItem() functions + you can add customized code for reading, writing and default setting by + implementing the functions @ref usrSetDefaults(), @ref usrReadConfig() and + @ref usrWriteConfig(). + + Internally preferences settings are stored in instances of subclasses of + @ref KPrefsItem. You can also add KPrefsItem subclasses for your own types + and call the generic @ref addItem() to register them. +*/ + +class KPrefs { + public: + /** + Constructor. + + @param configname name of config file.
