\class QDesignerMemberSheetExtension
|
||
|
|
||
|
\brief The QDesignerMemberSheetExtension class allows you to
|
||
|
manipulate a widget's member functions which is displayed when
|
||
|
configuring connections using Qt Designer's mode for editing
|
||
|
signals and slots.
|
||
|
|
||
|
\inmodule QtDesigner
|
||
|
|
||
|
QDesignerMemberSheetExtension is a collection of functions that is
|
||
|
typically used to query a widget's member functions, and to
|
||
|
manipulate the member functions' appearance in \QD's signals and
|
||
|
slots editing mode. For example:
|
||
|
|
||
|
\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qtdesigner.qdoc 2
|
||
|
|
||
|
When implementing a custom widget plugin, a pointer to \QD's
|
||
|
current QDesignerFormEditorInterface object (\c formEditor in the
|
||
|
example above) is provided by the
|
||
|
QDesignerCustomWidgetInterface::initialize() function's parameter.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The member sheet (and any other extension), can be retrieved by
|
||
|
querying \QD's extension manager using the qt_extension()
|
||
|
function. When you want to release the extension, you only need to
|
||
|
delete the pointer.
|
||
|
|
||
|
All widgets have a default member sheet used in \QD's signals and
|
||
|
slots editing mode with the widget's member functions. But
|
||
|
QDesignerMemberSheetExtension also provides an interface for
|
||
|
creating custom member sheet extensions.
|
||
|
|
||
|
\warning \QD uses the QDesignerMemberSheetExtension to facilitate
|
||
|
the signal and slot editing mode. Whenever a connection between
|
||
|
two widgets is requested, \QD will query for the widgets' member
|
||
|
sheet extensions. If a widget has an implemented member sheet
|
||
|
extension, this extension will override the default member sheet.
|
||
|
|
||
|
To create a member sheet extension, your extension class must
|
||
|
inherit from both QObject and QDesignerMemberSheetExtension. Then,
|
||
|
since we are implementing an interface, we must ensure that it's
|
||
|
made known to the meta object system using the Q_INTERFACES()
|
||
|
macro:
|
||
|
|
||
|
\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qtdesigner.qdoc 3
|
||
|
|
||
|
This enables \QD to use qobject_cast() to query for
|
||
|
supported interfaces using nothing but a QObject pointer.
|
||
|
|
||
|
In \QD the extensions are not created until they are
|
||
|
required. For that reason, when implementing a member sheet
|
||
|
extension, you must also create a QExtensionFactory, i.e a class
|
||
|
that is able to make an instance of your extension, and register
|
||
|
it using \QD's \l {QExtensionManager}{extension manager}.
|
||
|
|
||
|
When a widget's member sheet extension is required, \QD's \l
|
||
|
{QExtensionManager}{extension manager} will run through all its
|
||
|
registered factories calling QExtensionFactory::createExtension()
|
||
|
for each until the first one that is able to create a member sheet
|
||
|
extension for that widget, is found. This factory will then make
|
||
|
an instance of the extension. If no such factory is found, \QD
|
||
|
will use the default member sheet.
|
||
|
|
||
|
There are four available types of extensions in \QD:
|
||
|
QDesignerContainerExtension, QDesignerMemberSheetExtension,
|
||
|
QDesignerPropertySheetExtension and
|
||
|
QDesignerTaskMenuExtension. \QD's behavior is the same whether the
|
||
|
requested extension is associated with a multi page container, a
|
||
|
member sheet, a property sheet or a task menu.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The QExtensionFactory class provides a standard extension
|
||
|
factory, and can also be used as an interface for custom
|
||
|
extension factories. You can either create a new
|
||
|
QExtensionFactory and reimplement the
|
||
|
QExtensionFactory::createExtension() function. For example:
|
||
|
|
||
|
\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qtdesigner.qdoc 4
|
||
|
|
||
|
Or you can use an existing factory, expanding the
|
||
|
QExtensionFactory::createExtension() function to make the factory
|
||
|
able to create a member sheet extension as well. For example:
|
||
|
|
||
|
\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qtdesigner.qdoc 5
|
||
|
|
||
|
For a complete example using an extension class, see \l
|
||
|
{designer/taskmenuextension}{Task Menu Extension example}. The
|
||
|
example shows how to create a custom widget plugin for Qt
|
||
|
Designer, and how to to use the QDesignerTaskMenuExtension class
|
||
|
to add custom items to \QD's task menu.
