#### Public Methods

- KConfigGroupSaver ( KConfigBase* config, QString group )
- KConfigGroupSaver ( KConfigBase* config, const char *group )
- KConfigGroupSaver ( KConfigBase* config, const QCString &group )
- ~KConfigGroupSaver ()
- KConfigBase* config ()

## Detailed Description

Helper class to facilitate working with KConfig / KSimpleConfig groups.

Careful programmers always set the group of a KConfig KSimpleConfig object to the group they want to read from and set it back to the old one of afterwards. This is usually written as:

     QString oldgroup config->group();
     config->setGroup( "TheGroupThatIWant" );
     ...
     config->writeEntry( "Blah", "Blubb" );

     config->setGroup( oldgroup );

In order to facilitate this task, you can use KConfigGroupSaver. Simply construct such an object ON THE STACK when you want to switch to a new group. Then, when the object goes out of scope, the group will automatically be restored. If you want to use several different groups within a function or method, you can still use KConfigGroupSaver: Simply enclose all work with one group (including the creation of the KConfigGroupSaver object) in one block.

KConfigGroupSaver ( KConfigBase* config, QString group ) | ### KConfigGroupSaver

Constructor. You pass a pointer to the KConfigBase-derived object you want to work with and a string indicating the _new_ group.

Parameters:

config | The KConfigBase-derived object this KConfigGroupSaver works on.
group | The new group that the config object should switch to.
