Hi, I'm trying to configure the K-Menu, I've been able to work where to add buttons into the actions(lower section) of the K-Menu.

I understand that if i type 'poweroff' in the terminal, it will complete shut down the computer. But I'm not sure how to implement this action in code.

I've tried kapp->quit(); but this only closes the kicker panel, and doesn't shut down the computer. also the default kapp->requestShutDown, only shuts down the kde interface and not the computer.

Any help much appreciated

You are almost there. Check the ShutdownType parameter.

Thanks for the quick reply.

So am I correct in saying that requestShutDown(0,2,2). Will force a shutdown of the whole system without user confirmation? (if according to the URL you provided)

I understand the principal, just trying to get the syntax correct

Thanks again.

Yes, that looks right, though you probably will want to use the enums for better readability.

Just tried to compile it and got a few errors.

The errors were all because of the conversion for int to bool. seems to not like me using (0,2,2) as the parameters

I'm a little new to using enums, can you explain please how to use enums in this case.

thanks

[EDIT]
Oh, did you mean using the string values instead? eg. requestShutDown(ShutdownConfirmNo,ShutdownTypeHalt,ShutdownModeForceNow) ?

Yes, but you need to prefix it with the class the values are defined it

Code: Select all

kapp->requestShutDown(KApplication::ShutdownConfirmNo, ...
