After creating the widget you can +use <a href="qobject.html#child">TQObject::child</a>() and <a href="qobject.html#queryList">TQObject::queryList</a>() to access child +widgets of this returned widget. +<p> <li> Adding additional widget factories to be able to create custom +widgets. See <a href="#createWidget">createWidget</a>() for details. +<p> </ul> +<p> This class is not included in the TQt library itself. To use it you +must link against <tt>libtqui.so</tt> (Unix) or <tt>tqui.lib</tt> (Windows), which is +built into <tt>INSTALL/lib</tt> if you built <em>TQt Designer</em> (<tt>INSTALL</tt> is +the directory where TQt is installed ). +<p> If you create a <a href="qmainwindow.html">TQMainWindow</a> using a TQWidgetFactory, be aware that +it already has a central widget. Therefore, you need to delete this +one before setting another one. +<p> See the "Creating Dynamic Dialogs from .ui Files" section of the <a href="designer-manual.html">TQt Designer manual</a> for an example. See +also the <a href="qwidgetplugin.html">TQWidgetPlugin</a> class and the <a href="plugins-howto.html">Plugins documentation</a>. + +<hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2> +<h3 class=fn><a name="TQWidgetFactory"></a>TQWidgetFactory::TQWidgetFactory () +</h3> Constructs a TQWidgetFactory. +<h3 class=fn><a name="~TQWidgetFactory"></a>TQWidgetFactory::~TQWidgetFactory ()<tt> [virtual]</tt> +</h3> +Destructor. + +<h3 class=fn>void <a name="addWidgetFactory"></a>TQWidgetFactory::addWidgetFactory ( <a href="qwidgetfactory.html">TQWidgetFactory</a> * factory )<tt> [static]</tt> +</h3> Installs a widget factory <em>factory</em>, which normally contains +additional widgets that can then be created using a TQWidgetFactory. +See <a href="#createWidget">createWidget</a>() for further details. + +<h3 class=fn><a href="qwidget.html">TQWidget</a> * <a name="create"></a>TQWidgetFactory::create ( const <a href="qstring.html">TQString</a> & uiFile, <a href="qobject.html">TQObject</a> * connector = 0, <a href="qwidget.html">TQWidget</a> * parent = 0, const char * name = 0 )<tt> [static]</tt> +</h3> +<p> Loads the <em>TQt Designer</em> user interface description file <em>uiFile</em> +and returns the top-level widget in that description. <em>parent</em> and +<em>name</em> are passed to the constructor of the top-level widget. +<p> This function also performs signal and slot connections, tab +ordering, etc., as described in the .ui file. In <em>TQt Designer</em> it +is possible to add custom slots to a form and connect to them. If +you want these connections to be made, you must create a class +derived from <a href="qobject.html">TQObject</a>, which implements all these slots. Then pass an +instance of the object as <em>connector</em> to this function. If you do +this, the connections to the custom slots will be done using the <em>connector</em> as slot. +<p> If something fails, 0 is returned. +<p> The ownership of the returned widget is passed to the caller. + +<h3 class=fn><a href="qwidget.html">TQWidget</a> * <a name="create-2"></a>TQWidgetFactory::create ( <a href="qiodevice.html">TQIODevice</a> * dev, <a href="qobject.html">TQObject</a> * connector = 0, <a href="qwidget.html">TQWidget</a> * parent = 0, const char * name = 0 )<tt> [static]</tt> +</h3> This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience.

If the widget isn't in the TQt library, +each of the installed widget plugins is asked, in turn, to create +the widget. As soon as a plugin says it can create the widget it +is asked to do so. It may occur that none of the plugins can +create the widget, in which case each installed widget factory is +asked to create the widget (see <a href="#addWidgetFactory">addWidgetFactory</a>()). If the widget +cannot be created by any of these means, 0 is returned. +<p> If you have a custom widget, and want it to be created using the +widget factory, there are two approaches you can use: +<p> <ol type=1> +<p> <li> Write a widget plugin. This allows you to use the widget in +<em>TQt Designer</em> and in this TQWidgetFactory. See the widget plugin +documentation for further details. (See the "Creating Custom +Widgets with Plugins" section of the <a href="designer-manual.html">TQt + Designer manual</a> for an example. +<p> <li> Subclass TQWidgetFactory. Then reimplement this function to +create and return an instance of your custom widget if <em>className</em> equals the name of your widget, otherwise return 0. Then +at the beginning of your program where you want to use the widget +factory to create widgets do a: +<pre> + TQWidgetFactory::<a href="#addWidgetFactory">addWidgetFactory</a>( new MyWidgetFactory ); + </pre> + +where MyWidgetFactory is your TQWidgetFactory subclass. +<p> </ol> + +<h3 class=fn>void <a name="loadImages"></a>TQWidgetFactory::loadImages ( const <a href="qstring.html">TQString</a> & dir )<tt> [static]</tt> +</h3> +If you use a pixmap collection (which is the default for new +projects) rather than saving the pixmaps within the .ui XML file, +you must load the pixmap collection. TQWidgetFactory looks in the +default <a href="qmimesourcefactory.html">TQMimeSourceFactory</a> for the pixmaps. Either add it there +manually, or call this function and specify the directory where +the images can be found, as <em>dir</em>. This is normally the +directory called <tt>images</tt> in the project's directory. + +<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="supportsWidget"></a>TQWidgetFactory::supportsWidget ( const <a href="qstring.html">TQString</a> & widget )<tt> [static]</tt> +</h3> Returns TRUE if the widget factory can create the specified <em>widget</em>; +otherwise returns FALSE. +<h3 class=fn><a href="qstringlist.html">TQStringList</a> <a name="widgets"></a>TQWidgetFactory::widgets ()<tt> [static]</tt> +</h3> Returns the names of the widgets this factory can create. +<!-- eof --> +<hr><p> +This file is part of the <a href="index.html">TQt toolkit</a>. +Copyright © 1995-2007 +<a href="http://www.trolltech.com/">Trolltech</a>.
