.SH DESCRIPTION
The TQEditorFactory class is used to create editor widgets for QVariant data types.
.PP
Each editor factory provides the createEditor() function which given a QVariant will create and return a TQWidget that can edit that QVariant. For example if you have a QVariant::String type, a QLineEdit would be the default editor returned, whereas a QVariant::Int's default editor would be a QSpinBox.
.PP
If you want to create different editors for fields with the same data type, subclass TQEditorFactory and reimplement the createEditor() function.
.PP

.SH MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION
.SH "TQEditorFactory::TQEditorFactory ( TQObject * parent = 0, const char * name = 0 )"
Constructs an editor factory with parent \fIparent\fR, called \fIname\fR.
.SH "TQEditorFactory::~TQEditorFactory ()"
Destroys the object and frees any allocated resources.
.SH "TQWidget * TQEditorFactory::createEditor ( TQWidget * parent, const QVariant & v )\fC [virtual]\fR"
Creates and returns the appropriate editor for the QVariant \fIv\fR. If the QVariant is invalid, 0 is returned. The \fIparent\fR is passed to the appropriate editor's constructor.
.PP
Reimplemented in TQSqlEditorFactory.
.SH "TQEditorFactory * TQEditorFactory::defaultFactory ()\fC [static]\fR"
Returns an instance of a default editor factory.
.SH "void TQEditorFactory::installDefaultFactory ( TQEditorFactory * factory )\fC [static]\fR"
Replaces the default editor factory with \fIfactory\fR.
\fIQEditorFactory takes ownership of factory, and destroys it when it is no longer needed.\fR
