Detailed Description

This dialog embeds KMimeTypeChooser widget, presenting a checkable tree list of MIME types, each with its associated icon, and optionally associated glob patterns (displayed in a separate column); also an optional Edit button to launch a MIME type editor to edit the selected MIME type.

Here is an example, using the dialog to set the text of two line edits with the list of MIME type names and glob patterns, respectively, of the MIME types that the user has selected:

QLineEdit *leMimetypes = new QLineEdit();
QLineEdit *leGlobPatterns = new QLineEdit();
[...]
QString textLine = i18n("Select MIME types");
QStringList mimeList = QStringList::split(QRegularExpression("\\s*;\\s*"), leMimetypes->text());
KMimeTypeChooserDialog dlg(i18n("Select MIME Types"), textLine, mimeList, "text", this);
if (dlg.exec() == QDialog::Accepted) {
    leMimetypes->setText(dlg.chooser()->mimeTypes().join(";"));
    leGlobPatterns->setText(dlg.chooser()->patterns().join(";"));
}
