## Method Documentation

QString FormDataFolder | ( |  | ) |

The standardized name of the form data folder. It is automatically created when a wallet is created, but the user may still delete it so you should check for its existence and recreate it if necessary and desired.

QString LocalWallet | ( |  | ) |

The name of the wallet used to store local passwords.

QString NetworkWallet | ( |  | ) |

The name of the wallet used to store network passwords.

QString PasswordFolder | ( |  | ) |

The standardized name of the password folder. It is automatically created when a wallet is created, but the user may still delete it so you should check for its existence and recreate it if necessary and desired.

__init__ | ( | self, |
|  | int | handle,
|  | QString | name
| ) |  |  |

Construct a KWallet object.

Internal:

Parameters:

  | handle | The handle for the wallet.
  | name | The name of the wallet.

__init__ | ( | self, |

changePassword | ( | QString | name,
|  | WId | w
| ) |  |  |

Request to the wallet service to change the password of the wallet name.

Parameters:

  | name | The the wallet to change the password of.
  | w | The window id to associate any dialogs with.

int closeWallet | ( | QString | name,
|  | bool | force
| ) |  |  |

Created the folder f.

Parameters:

  | f | the name of the folder to create

Returns:
  Returns true if the folder was successfully created.

QString currentFolder | ( |  | self ) |

bool folderDoesNotExist | ( | QString | wallet,

Returns:
  Returns true if the wallet enabled, else false.

bool isOpen | ( | QString | name
| ) |  |  |

Determine if the wallet name is open by any application.

Parameters:

  | name | The name of the wallet to check.
