Detailed Description

This class is defined in the TQt Netscape Extension, which can be found in the qt/extensions directory. It is not included in the main TQt API.

The TQNPlugin class provides the main factory for plugin objects.

This class is the heart of the plugin. One instance of this object is created when the plugin is first needed, by calling TQNPlugin::create(), which must be implemented in your plugin code to return some derived class of TQNPlugin. The one TQNPlugin object creates all TQNPInstance instances for a web browser running in a single process.

Additionally, if TQt is linked to the plugin as a dynamic library, only one instance of TQApplication will exist across all plugins that have been made with TQt. So, your plugin should tread lightly on global settings. Do not, for example, use TQApplication::setFont() - that will change the font in every widget of every TQt-based plugin currently loaded!

Member Function Documentation

TQNPlugin::TQNPlugin () [protected]

TQNPlugin::~TQNPlugin () [virtual]

TQNPlugin * TQNPlugin::actual () [static]

TQNPlugin * TQNPlugin::create () [static]

This function must be implemented by your plugin code. It should return a derived class of TQNPlugin.

void * TQNPlugin::getJavaClass () [virtual]

If you override this class, you must also override TQNPlugin::unuseJavaClass().

The return value is actually a jref; we use void* so as to avoid burdening plugins which do not require Java.

See also getJavaEnv() and TQNPInstance::getJavaPeer().

void * TQNPlugin::getJavaEnv () const

The return value is actually a JRIEnv*; we use void* so as to avoid burdening plugins which do not require Java.

See also getJavaClass() and TQNPInstance::getJavaPeer().

const char * TQNPlugin::getMIMEDescription () const [pure virtual]

Override this function to return the MIME description of the data formats supported by your plugin. The format of this string is shown by the following example:

    const char* getMIMEDescription() const
    {
        return "image/x-png:png:PNG Image;"
               "image/png:png:PNG Image;"
               "image/x-portable-bitmap:pbm:PBM Image;"
               "image/x-portable-graymap:pgm:PGM Image;"
               "image/x-portable-pixmap:ppm:PPM Image;"
               "image/bmp:bmp:BMP Image;"
               "image/x-ms-bmp:bmp:BMP Image;"
               "image/x-xpixmap:xpm:XPM Image;"
               "image/xpm:xpm:XPM Image";
    }

const char * TQNPlugin::getPluginDescriptionString () const [pure virtual]

Returns a pointer to the plain-text description of the plugin.

const char * TQNPlugin::getPluginNameString () const [pure virtual]

Returns a pointer to the plain-text name of the plugin.

void TQNPlugin::getVersionInfo ( int & plugin_major, int & plugin_minor, int & browser_major, int & browser_minor )

TQNPInstance * TQNPlugin::newInstance () [pure virtual]

Override this function to return an appropriate derived class of TQNPInstance.

void TQNPlugin::unuseJavaClass () [virtual]
