46 @short Widget that manages a list of other widgets (incl. 'more', 'fewer' and 'clear' buttons).
48 Simple widget that nonetheless does a lot of the dirty work for
49 the filter edit widgets (KMSearchPatternEdit and
50 KMFilterActionEdit). It provides a growable and shrinkable area
51 where widget may be displayed in rows. Widgets can be added by
52 hitting the provided 'More' button, removed by the 'Fewer' button
53 and cleared (e.g. reset, if an derived class implements that and
54 removed for all but @ref mMinWidgets).
56 To use this widget, derive from it with the template changed to
57 the type of widgets this class should list. Then reimplement @ref
58 addWidgetAtEnd, @ref removeLastWidget, calling the original
59 implementation as necessary. Instantiate an object of the class and
60 put it in your dialog.
