DocumentLauncherView Class Reference
[QtBaseModule]

Detailed Description

The DocumentLauncherView class provides a view of user documents.

It allows the user to browse through the list of documents and the user can open single documents by selecting them. The documents are opened based on mime types.

In addition to the base implementation Qt Extended provides the HierarchicalDocumentLauncherView. The exact mapping can be configured by setting the Mappings/DocumentLauncherView key in the Trolltech/UIFactory configuration file. The value of the key is the name of the class that implements the new DocumentLauncherView. The new class must be a subclass of DocumentLauncherView.

If the above setting is missing, the DocumentLauncherView will be used.

This class is part of the Qt Extended server and cannot be used by other Qt Extended applications.
