[PyKDE] Problems with a port of C++/Qt book to Python

[Douglas Soares de Andrade]

Hi !

Another problem:

What about this construction ?

class FindDialog :  public QDialog
{
	Q_OBJECT
	
	public:
		FindDialog(QWidget *parent, const char *name = 0);

All is clear for me, but what about the Q_OBJECT macro ? How to use it in 
PyQt ?

Another thing... 

How to use the tr() function ? 
How to use this setCaption() in the code below, do i have to use self, or 
QDialog ? 
And, in the connect line, what to do with the this keyword ?

FindDialog::FindDialog(QWidget *parent, const char *name)
    : QDialog(parent, name)
{
    setCaption(tr("Find"));

    label = new QLabel(tr("Find &what:"), this);
    lineEdit = new QLineEdit(this);
    label->setBuddy(lineEdit);

    caseCheckBox = new QCheckBox(tr("Match &case"), this);
    backwardCheckBox = new QCheckBox(tr("Search &backward"), this);

    findButton = new QPushButton(tr("&Find"), this);
    findButton->setDefault(true);
    findButton->setEnabled(false);

    closeButton = new QPushButton(tr("Close"), this);

    connect(lineEdit, SIGNAL(textChanged(const QString &)),
            this, SLOT(enableFindButton(const QString &)));
    connect(findButton, SIGNAL(clicked()),
            this, SLOT(findClicked()));
    connect(closeButton, SIGNAL(clicked()),
            this, SLOT(close()));


Thanks for all the help !
