`from PyKDE4.akonadi import *`

Inherits: QTreeView → QAbstractItemView → QAbstractScrollArea → QFrame → QWidget → QObject
Namespace: Akonadi

## Detailed Description

A view to show a collection tree provided by a CollectionModel.

When a KXmlGuiWindow is passed to the constructor, the XMLGUI defined context menu akonadi_collectionview_contextmenu is used if available.

Example:

     class MyWindow : public KXmlGuiWindow
     {
       public:
        MyWindow()
          : KXmlGuiWindow()
        {
          Akonadi.CollectionView *view = new Akonadi.CollectionView( this, this );
          setCentralWidget( view );

          Akonadi.CollectionModel *model = new Akonadi.CollectionModel( this );
          view->setModel( model );
        }
     }
