.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The QWidgetPlugin class provides an abstract base for custom QWidget plugins.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The widget plugin is a simple plugin interface that makes it easy to create custom widgets that can be included in forms using Qt Designer and used by applications.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Writing a widget plugin is achieved by subclassing this base class, reimplementing the pure virtual functions keys(), create(), group(), iconSet(), includeFile(), toolTip(), whatsThis() and isContainer(), and exporting the class with the \fCQ_EXPORT_PLUGIN\fR macro.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See the Qt Designer manual's, 'Creating Custom Widgets' section in the 'Creating Custom Widgets' chapter, for a complete example of a QWidgetPlugin.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also the Plugins documentation and the QWidgetFactory class that is supplied with Qt Designer.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also Plugins.
|
|
.SH MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION
|
|
.SH "QWidgetPlugin::QWidgetPlugin ()"
|
|
Constructs a widget plugin. This is invoked automatically by the \fCQ_EXPORT_PLUGIN\fR macro.
|
|
.SH "QWidgetPlugin::~QWidgetPlugin ()"
|
|
Destroys the widget plugin.
|
|
.PP
|
|
You never have to call this explicitly. Qt destroys a plugin automatically when it is no longer used.
|
|
.SH "QWidget * QWidgetPlugin::create ( const QString & key, QWidget * parent = 0, const char * name = 0 )\fC [pure virtual]\fR"
|
|
Creates and returns a QWidget object for the widget key \fIkey\fR. The widget key is the class name of the required widget. The \fIname\fR and \fIparent\fR arguments are passed to the custom widget's constructor.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also keys().
|
|
.SH "QString QWidgetPlugin::group ( const QString & key ) const\fC [virtual]\fR"
|
|
Returns the group (toolbar name) that the custom widget of class \fIkey\fR should be part of when \fIQt Designer\fR loads it.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The default implementation returns QString::null.
|
|
.SH "QIconSet QWidgetPlugin::iconSet ( const QString & key ) const\fC [virtual]\fR"
|
|
Returns the iconset that \fIQt Designer\fR should use to represent the custom widget of class \fIkey\fR in the toolbar.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The default implementation returns an null iconset.
|
|
.SH "QString QWidgetPlugin::includeFile ( const QString & key ) const\fC [virtual]\fR"
|
|
Returns the name of the include file that \fIQt Designer\fR and \fCuic\fR should use to include the custom widget of class \fIkey\fR in generated code.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The default implementation returns QString::null.
|
|
.SH "bool QWidgetPlugin::isContainer ( const QString & key ) const\fC [virtual]\fR"
|
|
Returns TRUE if the custom widget of class \fIkey\fR can contain other widgets, e.g. like QFrame; otherwise returns FALSE.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The default implementation returns FALSE.
|
|
.SH "QStringList QWidgetPlugin::keys () const\fC [pure virtual]\fR"
|
|
Returns the list of widget keys this plugin supports.
|
|
.PP
|
|
These keys must be the class names of the custom widgets that are implemented in the plugin.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also create().
|
|
.SH "QString QWidgetPlugin::toolTip ( const QString & key ) const\fC [virtual]\fR"
|
|
Returns the text of the tooltip that \fIQt Designer\fR should use for the custom widget of class \fIkey\fR's toolbar button.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The default implementation returns QString::null.
|
|
.SH "QString QWidgetPlugin::whatsThis ( const QString & key ) const\fC [virtual]\fR"
|
|
Returns the text of the whatsThis text that \fIQt Designer\fR should use when the user requests whatsThis help for the custom widget of class \fIkey\fR.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The default implementation returns QString::null.
