<hr><a name="details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
The TQWidgetPlugin class provides an abstract base for custom <a href="tqwidget.html">TQWidget</a> plugins.
<p>
<p> The widget plugin is a simple plugin interface that makes it easy
to create custom widgets that can be included in forms using <a href="designer-manual.html">TQt Designer</a> and used by applications.
<p> Writing a widget plugin is achieved by subclassing this base
class, reimplementing the pure virtual functions <a href="#keys">keys</a>(), <a href="#create">create</a>(),
<a href="#group">group</a>(), <a href="#iconSet">iconSet</a>(), <a href="#includeFile">includeFile</a>(), <a href="#toolTip">toolTip</a>(), <a href="#whatsThis">whatsThis</a>() and
<a href="#isContainer">isContainer</a>(), and exporting the class with the <tt>TQ_EXPORT_PLUGIN</tt>
macro.
<p> See the <a href="designer-manual.html">TQt Designer manual's</a>,
'Creating Custom Widgets' section in the 'Creating Custom Widgets'
chapter, for a complete example of a TQWidgetPlugin.
<p> See also the <a href="plugins-howto.html">Plugins
documentation</a> and the <a href="tqwidgetfactory.html">TQWidgetFactory</a> class that is
supplied with <a href="designer-manual.html">TQt Designer</a>.
<p>See also <a href="plugins.html">Plugins</a>.
<hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2>
<h3 class=fn><a name="TQWidgetPlugin"></a>TQWidgetPlugin::TQWidgetPlugin ()
</h3>
Constructs a widget plugin. This is invoked automatically by the
<tt>TQ_EXPORT_PLUGIN</tt> macro.
<h3 class=fn><a name="~TQWidgetPlugin"></a>TQWidgetPlugin::~TQWidgetPlugin ()
</h3>
Destroys the widget plugin.
<p> You never have to call this explicitly. TQt destroys a plugin
automatically when it is no longer used.
<h3 class=fn><a href="tqwidget.html">TQWidget</a>&nbsp;* <a name="create"></a>TQWidgetPlugin::create ( const&nbsp;<a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;key, <a href="tqwidget.html">TQWidget</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;parent = 0, const&nbsp;char&nbsp;*&nbsp;name = 0 )<tt> [pure virtual]</tt>
</h3>
<p> Creates and returns a <a href="tqwidget.html">TQWidget</a> object for the widget key <em>key</em>.
The widget key is the class name of the required widget. The <em>name</em> and <em>parent</em> arguments are passed to the custom widget's
constructor.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#keys">keys</a>().
<h3 class=fn><a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> <a name="group"></a>TQWidgetPlugin::group ( const&nbsp;<a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;key ) const<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Returns the group (toolbar name) that the custom widget of class
<em>key</em> should be part of when <em>TQt Designer</em> loads it.
<p> The default implementation returns <a href="tqstring.html#TQString-null">TQString::null</a>.
<h3 class=fn><a href="ntqiconset.html">TQIconSet</a> <a name="iconSet"></a>TQWidgetPlugin::iconSet ( const&nbsp;<a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;key ) const<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Returns the iconset that <em>TQt Designer</em> should use to represent
the custom widget of class <em>key</em> in the toolbar.
<p> The default implementation returns an null iconset.
<h3 class=fn><a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> <a name="includeFile"></a>TQWidgetPlugin::includeFile ( const&nbsp;<a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;key ) const<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Returns the name of the include file that <em>TQt Designer</em> and <tt>uic</tt> should use to include the custom widget of class <em>key</em> in
generated code.
<p> The default implementation returns <a href="tqstring.html#TQString-null">TQString::null</a>.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="isContainer"></a>TQWidgetPlugin::isContainer ( const&nbsp;<a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;key ) const<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Returns TRUE if the custom widget of class <em>key</em> can contain
other widgets, e.g. like <a href="ntqframe.html">TQFrame</a>; otherwise returns FALSE.
<p> The default implementation returns FALSE.
<h3 class=fn><a href="tqstringlist.html">TQStringList</a> <a name="keys"></a>TQWidgetPlugin::keys () const<tt> [pure virtual]</tt>
</h3>
<p> Returns the list of widget keys this plugin supports.
<p> These keys must be the class names of the custom widgets that are
implemented in the plugin.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#create">create</a>().
<h3 class=fn><a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> <a name="toolTip"></a>TQWidgetPlugin::toolTip ( const&nbsp;<a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;key ) const<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Returns the text of the tooltip that <em>TQt Designer</em> should use
for the custom widget of class <em>key</em>'s toolbar button.
<p> The default implementation returns <a href="tqstring.html#TQString-null">TQString::null</a>.
<h3 class=fn><a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> <a name="whatsThis"></a>TQWidgetPlugin::whatsThis ( const&nbsp;<a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;key ) const<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Returns the text of the whatsThis text that <em>TQt Designer</em> should
use when the user requests whatsThis help for the custom widget of
class <em>key</em>.
<p> The default implementation returns <a href="tqstring.html#TQString-null">TQString::null</a>.
