KDevDesigner is a port of Qt Designer (code taken from Qt 3.3 distribution) to KDE technologies:
|
|
|
|
|
1) XML GUI
|
|
|
|
|
2) KParts
|
|
|
|
|
3) KFileDialog
|
|
|
|
|
4) TDEIconLoader
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
KDevDesigner consists of a part and a shell.
|
|
|
|
|
Part can be used in Konqueror and KDevelop to edit and view ui files and projects.
|
|
|
|
|
Shell loads a part with "in shell" argument so that the part can create projects and ui files.
|
|

|
Other important notes:
|
|
|
|
|
KDevDesignerPart is Read/Write part which ignores readonly mode.
|
|
|
|
|
Designer Editor plugins are not loaded.
|
|
|
|
|
Available in system designer plugins are loaded if possible (tested with Qt 3.3 version).
|

|
KDevDesignerPart integration:
|
|
|
|
|
KDevDesignerPart implements KInterfaceDesigner interface (defined in tdevelop/lib/external_interfaces).

WARNING:
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to modify this code, try to introduce as few modifications to original Qt Designer code as possible.
|
|
|
|
|
Write your own classes and wrappers instead. The goal is to ease syncronization between the port and original Qt Designer.
|
|
|
|
|
Feel free to modify kdevdesigner_part.h(cpp) though.

FUTURE:
|
|
|
|
|
Trolltech promises that Qt 4 will have easilly embeddable designer. If that happens, this port will be dropped for KDevelop 4.
