require 'Korundum'

=begin
Most Korundum applications will need a main window - the is the top
level widget (the parent for all other widgets). KDE::MainWindow has
more functionality than shown here (see more complex templates).
It has the ability to create the other major parts of the user
interface - the main view, menus, toolbars, etc.

Usually you provide a subclass of KDE::MainWindow, construct menus
and toolbars in the subclass' initialize method, and provide
slots for menu/toolbar actions in separate methods.

class MainWin < KDE::MainWindow
    def initialize(*args)
        super
	end

# set up some basic information about the program in
# a KDE::AboutData object - this affects the application's
# title bar caption and makes it easy to set up a
# Help | About dialog box for your app

    version, description, KDE::AboutData::License_GPL,

# you can add the names of the app's authors here
aboutData.addAuthor("author1", "whatever they did", "email@somedomain")
aboutData.addAuthor("author2", "they did something else", "another@email.address")

# Pass the command line arguments and aboutData to
# KDE::CmdLineArgs - this is where KDE will look for
# this information. The KDE::Application constructor
# used below *requires* the args are processed
# *before* KDE::Application is instantiated. There
# is an alternate constructor that takes ARGV
# as an argument (see minimal.rb)

# Note that instead of argc/argv, this constructor
# only takes a single argument - ARGV - which
# is a Ruby list
KDE::CmdLineArgs.init(ARGV, aboutData)

# Set up the command line options (switches) you
# want your app to be able to process (you could
# use Ruby's getopt module instead, but it works
# a little differently)

# Note that the argument for this method is a list
# of three element lists
KDE::CmdLineArgs.addCmdLineOptions([["+files", "File to open", ""]])

# instantiate KDE::Application - no other QObject
# or QWidget based classes can be instantiated
# until there is a KApplication instance
app = KDE::Application.new()

# instantiate the subclass of KMainWindow
mainWindow = MainWin.new(nil, "main window")

# create the display
mainWindow.show

# run KDE::Application's event loop until the
# program exits
app.exec
