Just make sure your plugin path in qtconfig includes +$TDEDIR/lib/trinity/plugins . With the KDE build system nothing special +(i.e. editing the plugin path) is needed, as uic will automatically be +called with -L <path to the tdewidgets plugin> . + +This plugin uses the QWidget plugin API of Qt >= 3.0 +Don't expect it to work with any other versions of Qt. + + +Known Bugs: +=========== + +Designer crashes when using widgets that use the kapp pointer. + +HOWTO Add Widgets: +================== +Just add new widgets to kde.widgets like this: +[ClassName] +IncludeFile=myheader.h +IconSet=mycoolwidget.png +ToolTip=My Cool Widget +WhatsThis=Long description of my cool widget +ConstructorArgs=(parent, name, otherNeccessaryArg) +IsContainer=true +Group=MyWidgetCollection + +Everything but [ClassName] is optional. +IncludeFile defaults to classname.h (all lowercase) +IconSet defaults to classname.png (all lowercase) +ToolTip defaults to ClassName +WhatsThis defaults to ClassName +ConstructorArgs=(parent, name) +IsContainer defaults to false - note, any value except an empty one is + interpreted as true, even if the value + is "false" :) So, if the widget is not a + container, just omit this line. +Group defaults to "KDE" + +Don't forget to add an icon to the pics directory. Try to make it look similar to the other icons and be the same size. + +There are some global options that you can have. + +[Global] +Init=new InitCode(); +Destroy= delete object; +PluginName=MyPlugin + +PluginName overrides the passed in value at the command line and is optional. +Init and Destroy are both optional arguments that can be used for custom build +up and tear down code. + +Have fun! + + +Ian Reinhart Geiser <geiseri@kde.org> +Daniel Molkentin <molkentin@kde.org> +Malte Starostik <malte@kde.org> |
