\class QDesignerPropertyEditorInterface
\brief The QDesignerPropertyEditorInterface class allows you to
query and manipulate the current state of Qt Designer's property
editor.
\inmodule QtDesigner
QDesignerPropertyEditorInterface contains a collection of
functions that is typically used to query the property editor for
its current state, and several slots manipulating it's state. The
interface also provide a signal, propertyChanged(), which is
emitted whenever a property changes in the property editor. The
signal's arguments are the property that changed and its new
value.
For example, when implementing a custom widget plugin, you can
connect the signal to a custom slot:
\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/tools_designer_src_lib_sdk_abstractpropertyeditor.cpp 0
Then the custom slot can check if the new value is within the
range we want when a specified property, belonging to a particular
widget, changes:
\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/tools_designer_src_lib_sdk_abstractpropertyeditor.cpp 1
The QDesignerPropertyEditorInterface class is not intended to be
instantiated directly. You can retrieve an interface to \QD's
property editor using the
QDesignerFormEditorInterface::propertyEditor() function. A pointer
to \QD's current QDesignerFormEditorInterface object (\c
formEditor in the examples above) is provided by the
QDesignerCustomWidgetInterface::initialize() function's
parameter. When implementing a custom widget plugin, you must
subclass the QDesignerCustomWidgetInterface to expose your plugin
to \QD.
The functions accessing the property editor are the core()
function that you can use to retrieve an interface to the form
editor, the currentPropertyName() function that returns the name
of the currently selected property in the property editor, the
object() function that returns the currently selected object in
\QD's workspace, and the isReadOnly() function that returns true
if the property editor is write proteced (otherwise false).
The slots manipulating the property editor's state are the
setObject() slot that you can use to change the currently selected
object in \QD's workspace, the setPropertyValue() slot that
changes the value of a given property and the setReadOnly() slot
that control the write protection of the property editor.
