NAME
UI::Dialog::Backend::KDialog - backend for the KDE dialog variant.
SYNOPSIS
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.
