\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.cpp 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.cpp 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.cpp 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.cpp 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.
