Hi there, well, I am not exactly shure that I am on the right list here, yet somewhere Aron's words about heading over to plasma-devel for any qestions still ring in my head. If I am wrong, where should I ask instead?
So, currently I am working on a python plasmoid (first time plasmoid development for me) and am currently struggling with two issues, namely: 1) dbus calls: How do I write the following C++ call in python? QDBusInterface("org.kde.krunner", "/App", "org.kde.krunner.App").call(QDBus.NoBlock, "showTaskManager"); QDBusInterface is not wrapped by PyQT so that I should propably use the dbus module. And then? How? 2) Implement toolTipAboutToShow(): In my plasmoid and to save cpu cycles I want to do some actions only before / while showing a tooltip. For this purpose, the toolTipAboutToShow() function can be used, I think. Unfortunatly, the following snippet shows a working tooltip, yet the toolTipAboutToShow() function of my class is never called but the following error / warning is shown: QMetaObject::invokeMethod: No such method Plasma::Applet::toolTipAboutToShow() So, how do I override toolTipAboutToShow with my own implementation? class SimpleCpuMeter(plasmascript.Applet): def __init__(self,parent,args=None): plasmascript.Applet.__init__(self,parent) def init(self): ... self.setHasConfigurationInterface(False) self.initToolTip() def initToolTip(self): self.tooltipdata = Plasma.ToolTipContent() self.tooltipdata.setMainText("System Information") self.tooltipdata.setImage(KIcon('view-statistics')) Plasma.ToolTipManager.self().registerWidget(self.applet) self.updateToolTip() def toolTipAboutToShow(self): print("toolTipAboutToShow") Thanks, Michael _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
