# KMimeTypeChooserDialog Class Reference

`from PyKDE4.kio import *`

Inherits: KDialog → QDialog → QWidget → QObject

## Detailed Description

A Dialog to choose some mimetypes. Provides a checkable tree list of mimetypes, with icons and optinally comments and patterns, and an (optional) button to display the KDE mimetype editor.

Here is an example, using the dialog to set the text of two lineedits:

        QString text = i18n("Select the MimeTypes you want for this file type.");
        QStringList list = QStringList.split( QRegExp("\\s*;\\s*"), leMimetypes->text() );
        KMimeTypeChooserDialog dlg( i18n("Select Mime Types"), text, list, "text", this );
        if ( dlg.exec() == KDialog.Accepted ) {
          leWildcards->setText( dlg.chooser()->patterns().join(";") );
          leMimetypes->setText( dlg.chooser()->mimeTypes().join(";") );
        }
