/**
 * @short An action which can alternate between two texts/icons when triggered.
 *
 * KDualAction should be used when you want to create an action which alternate
 * between two states when triggered but which should not be rendered as a
 * checkable widget because it is more appropriate to change the text and icon
 * of the action instead.
 *
 * You should use KDualAction to implement this kind of actions instead of
 * KToggleAction because KToggleAction is rendered as a checkable widget: this
 * means one of your state will have a checkbox in a menu and will be
 * represented as a sunken button in a toolbar.
 *
 * Porting from KToggleAction to KDualAction:
 *
 * 1. If you used the KToggleAction constructor which accepts the action text,
 * adjust the constructor: KDualAction constructor accepts both inactive and
 * active text.
 *
 * 2. Replace connections to the checked(bool) signal with a connection to the
 * activeChanged(bool) (or activeChangedByUser(bool))
 *
 * 3. Replace calls to setChecked()/isChecked() with setActive()/isActive()
 *
 * 4. Replace calls to setCheckedState(guiItem) with
 * setActiveGuiItem(guiItem)
