Detailed Description

Namespace for KParts components.

Enumeration Type Documentation

ComponentLoadingError

enum KParts::ComponentFactory::ComponentLoadingError

This enum type defines the possible error cases that can happen when loading a component.

• ErrNoServiceFound - no service implementing the given mimetype and fullfilling the given constraint expression can be found.
• ErrServiceProvidesNoLibrary - the specified service provides no shared library
• ErrNoLibrary - the specified library could not be loaded. Use KLibLoader::lastErrorMessage for details.
• ErrNoFactory - the library does not export a factory for creating components
• ErrNoComponent - the factory does not support creating components of the specified type

createInstanceFromFactory()

template<class T >

static T * KParts::ComponentFactory::createInstanceFromFactory ( KLibFactory *  factory, TQObject *  parent = 0, const char *  name = 0, const TQStringList &  args = TQStringList()  )

static

This template function allows to ask the given factory to create an instance of the given template type.

Example of usage:

MyPlugin *plugin = KParts::ComponentFactory::createInstanceFromFactory<MyPlugin>( factory, parent );

Parameters

factory	The factory to ask for the creation of the component
parent	The parent object (see TQObject constructor)
name	The name of the object to create (see TQObject constructor)
args	A list of string arguments, passed to the factory and possibly to the component (see KLibFactory)

Returns

A pointer to the newly created object or a null pointer if the factory was unable to create an object of the given type.

createInstanceFromLibrary()

template<class T >

static T * KParts::ComponentFactory::createInstanceFromLibrary ( const char *  libraryName, TQObject *  parent = 0, const char *  name = 0, const TQStringList &  args = TQStringList(), int *  error = 0  )

static

This template allows to load the specified library and ask the factory to create an instance of the given template type.

Parameters

libraryName	The library to open
parent	The parent object (see TQObject constructor)
name	The name of the object to create (see TQObject constructor)
args	A list of string arguments, passed to the factory and possibly to the component (see KLibFactory)
error

Returns

A pointer to the newly created object or a null pointer if the factory was unable to create an object of the given type.

createInstanceFromQuery()

template<class T >

static T * KParts::ComponentFactory::createInstanceFromQuery ( const TQString &  serviceType, const TQString &  constraint = TQString::null, TQObject *  parent = 0, const char *  name = 0, const TQStringList &  args = TQStringList(), int *  error = 0  )

static

This method creates and returns a plugin, from the trader query for a given serviceType.

Example:

KMyAppPlugin* plugin = KParts::ComponentFactory::createInstanceFromQuery<KMyAppPlugin>( serviceType, TQString::null, parentObject );
if ( plugin ) {
    ....
}

Parameters

serviceType	the type of service for which to find a plugin
constraint	an optional constraint to pass to the trader (see TDEIO::TDETrader)
parent	the parent object for the part itself
name	the name that will be given to the part
args	A list of string arguments, passed to the factory and possibly to the component (see KLibFactory)
error	The int passed here will receive an error code in case of errors. (See enum ComponentLoadingError)

Returns

A pointer to the newly created object or a null pointer if the factory was unable to create an object of the given type.

createPartInstanceFromFactory()

template<class T >

static T * KParts::ComponentFactory::createPartInstanceFromFactory ( KParts::Factory *  factory, TQWidget *  parentWidget = 0, const char *  widgetName = 0, TQObject *  parent = 0, const char *  name = 0, const TQStringList &  args = TQStringList()  )

static

This template function allows to ask the given tdeparts factory to create an instance of the given template type.

Example of usage:

KViewPart *doc = KParts::ComponentFactory::createPartInstanceFromFactory<KViewPart>( factory, parent );

Parameters

factory	The factory to ask for the creation of the component
parentWidget	the parent widget for the part
widgetName	the name of the part's widget
parent	The parent object (see TQObject constructor)
name	The name of the object to create (see TQObject constructor)
args	A list of string arguments, passed to the factory and possibly to the component (see KLibFactory)

Returns

A pointer to the newly created object or a null pointer if the factory was unable to create an object of the given type.

createPartInstanceFromLibrary()

template<class T >

static T * KParts::ComponentFactory::createPartInstanceFromLibrary ( const char *  libraryName, TQWidget *  parentWidget = 0, const char *  widgetName = 0, TQObject *  parent = 0, const char *  name = 0, const TQStringList &  args = TQStringList(), int *  error = 0  )

createPartInstanceFromQuery()

template<class T >

static T * KParts::ComponentFactory::createPartInstanceFromQuery ( const TQString &  serviceType, const TQString &  constraint, TQWidget *  parentWidget = 0, const char *  widgetName = 0, TQObject *  parent = 0, const char *  name = 0, const TQStringList &  args = TQStringList(), int *  error = 0  )

static

This method creates and returns a KParts part from a serviceType (e.g.

a mimetype).

You can use this method to create a generic viewer - that can display any kind of file, provided that there is a ReadOnlyPart installed for it - in 5 lines:

// Given the following: KURL url, TQWidget* parentWidget and TQObject* parentObject.
TQString mimetype = KMimeType::findByURL( url )->name();
KParts::ReadOnlyPart* part = KParts::ComponentFactory::createPartInstanceFromQuery<KParts::ReadOnlyPart>( mimetype, TQString::null, parentWidget, 0, parentObject, 0 );
if ( part ) {
    part->openURL( url );
    part->widget()->show();  // also insert the widget into a layout, or simply use a TQVBox as parentWidget
}

Parameters

serviceType	the type of service for which to find a part, e.g. a mimetype
constraint	an optional constraint to pass to the trader (see TDETrader)
parentWidget	the parent widget, will be set as the parent of the part's widget
widgetName	the name that will be given to the part's widget
parent	the parent object for the part itself
name	the name that will be given to the part
args	A list of string arguments, passed to the factory and possibly to the component (see KLibFactory)
error	The int passed here will receive an error code in case of errors. (See enum ComponentLoadingError)

Returns

A pointer to the newly created object or a null pointer if the factory was unable to create an object of the given type.
