hey folks! I have a question i hope someone can help me with:
i am trying to trigger a metacontact context menu from within a plugin. it works well. before i do so, i select the desired metacontact with: Kopete::ContactList::self()->setSelectedItems( contacts, groups ); I set the selection to 1 metacontact and 0 groups, and the functions debug output tells me it worked. I then open the context menu, which also works well. but, here is the cut: all menu items ( plugin ones like history/gpg, the start chat ones, groups, etc. ) work as expected, except one: the properties item. That one always opens the properties dialog for whatever item is really (like visually) selected in the contact list (the ListView). Unfotunately, i think that this is one of the most important item to work correctly (for my plugin). A look into the code tells me that that item and also the properties dialog operate on KopeteMetaContactLVI rather than MetaContact, and thus retrieves the "target" directly from the listview instead from the ContactList selection. I guess no plugin has tried that before, but i think it would be a good thing to make the properties menu accessible by plugins. Unfortunately, all that GUI code is rather complex. My first guess would maybe be to actually select the LVIs in ContactList::setSelection(), but i am not sure if it's possible. The other option would probably be to make the Properties dialog operate on MetaContacts and then have it emit some signal to the ListView to reload/redraw, but that seems to involve much more coding. I am willing to dive into the code and do something about it, but the expertise of someone who is a little more into these things would be great! thanks for any help!!! conrausch -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://conrausch.doesntexist.org JabberID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] # support cryptography! public key: http://elise.no-ip.com/ch.gmx.asc I have a hobby.
