# KPropertiesDialogPlugin Class Reference

`from PyKDE4.kio import *`

Inherits: QObject

## Detailed Description

A Plugin in the Properties dialog This is an abstract class. You must inherit from this class to build a new kind of tabbed page for the KPropertiesDialog. A plugin in itself is just a library containing code, not a dialog's page. It's up to the plugin to insert pages into the parent dialog.

To make a plugin available, define a service that implements the KPropertiesDialog/Plugin servicetype, as well as the mimetypes for which the plugin should be created. For instance, ServiceTypes=KPropertiesDialog/Plugin,text/html,application/x-mymimetype.

You can also include X-KDE-Protocol=file if you want that plugin to be loaded only for local files, for instance.
