41 \brief The QPEApplication class implements various system services
42 that are available to all Qtopia applications.
43
44 Simply by using QPEApplication instead of QApplication, a standard Qt
45 application becomes a Qtopia application. It automatically follows
46 style changes, quits and raises, and in the
47 case of \link docwidget.html document-oriented\endlink applications,
48 changes the currently displayed document in response to the environment.
49
50 To create a \link docwidget.html document-oriented\endlink
51 application use showMainDocumentWidget(); to create a
52 non-document-oriented application use showMainWidget(). The
53 keepRunning() function indicates whether the application will
54 continue running after it's processed the last \link qcop.html
55 QCop\endlink message. This can be changed using setKeepRunning().
56
57 A variety of signals are emitted when certain events occur, for
58 example, timeChanged(), clockChanged(), weekChanged(),
59 dateFormatChanged() and volumeChanged(). If the application receives
60 a \link qcop.html QCop\endlink message on the application's
61 QPE/Application/\e{appname} channel, the appMessage() signal is
62 emitted. There are also flush() and reload() signals, which
63 are emitted when synching begins and ends respectively - upon these
64 signals, the application should save and reload any data
65 files that are involved in synching. Most of these signals will initially
66 be received and unfiltered through the appMessage() signal.
67
68 This class also provides a set of useful static functions. The
69 qpeDir() and documentDir() functions return the respective paths.
70 The grabKeyboard() and ungrabKeyboard() functions are used to
71 control whether the application takes control of the device's
72 physical buttons (e.g. application launch keys). The stylus' mode of
73 operation is set with setStylusOperation() and retrieved with
74 stylusOperation(). There are also setInputMethodHint() and
75 inputMethodHint() functions.
