TQRect TDEGlobalSettings::desktopGeometry ( TQWidget *  w  )  [static]

This function returns the desktop geometry for an application that needs to set the geometry of a widget on the screen manually.

It takes into account the user's display settings (number of screens, Xinerama, etc), and the user's preferences (if KDE should be Xinerama aware).

Parameters:
w the widget in question. This is used to determine which screen to use in Xinerama or multi-head mode.
Returns:
the geometry to use for the desktop. Note that it might not start at (0,0).
Since:
3.2

Definition at line 756 of file tdeglobalsettings.cpp.

TQRect TDEGlobalSettings::desktopGeometry ( const TQPoint &  point  )  [static]

This function returns the desktop geometry for an application that needs to set the geometry of a widget on the screen manually.

It takes into account the user's display settings (number of screens, Xinerama, etc), and the user's preferences (if KDE should be Xinerama aware).

Note that this can break in multi-head (not Xinerama) mode because this point could be on multiple screens. Use with care.

Parameters:
point a reference point for the widget, for instance one that the widget should be adjacent or on top of.
Returns:
the geometry to use for the desktop. Note that it might not start at (0,0).
Since:
3.2

Definition at line 739 of file tdeglobalsettings.cpp.

static TQString TDEGlobalSettings::desktopPath (  )  [inline, static]

Definition at line 233 of file tdeglobalsettings.h.

int TDEGlobalSettings::dndEventDelay (  )  [static]

Returns a threshold in pixels for drag & drop operations.

As long as the mouse movement has not exceeded this number of pixels in either X or Y direction no drag operation may be started. This prevents spurious drags when the user intended to click on something but moved the mouse a bit while doing so.

For this to work you must save the position of the mouse (oldPos) in the TQWidget::mousePressEvent(). When the position of the mouse (newPos) in a TQWidget::mouseMoveEvent() exceeds this threshold you may start a drag which should originate from oldPos.

Example code:

 void KColorCells::mousePressEvent( TQMouseEvent *e )
 {
    mOldPos = e->pos();
 }

 void KColorCells::mouseMoveEvent( TQMouseEvent *e )
 {
    if( !(e->state() && LeftButton)) return;

    int delay = TDEGlobalSettings::dndEventDelay();
    TQPoint newPos = e->pos();
    if(newPos.x() > mOldPos.x()+delay || newPos.x() < mOldPos.x()-delay ||
       newPos.y() > mOldPos.y()+delay || newPos.y() < mOldPos.y()-delay)
    {
       // Drag color object
       int cell = posToCell(mOldPos); // Find color at mOldPos
       if ((cell != -1) && colors[cell].isValid())
       {
          KColorDrag *d = KColorDrag::makeDrag( colors[cell], this);
          d->dragCopy();
       }
    }
 }
Returns:
the threshold for drag & drop in pixels
