Introduction

The class PluginView is a interface for the view of a plugin.

Plugin Views

The Kate application supports multiple mainwindows (Window > New Window). For every Kate MainWindow Plugin::createView() is called, i.e. overwrite createView() in your Plugin derived class and hook your view into the given mainwindow's KXMLGUIFactory. That means you have to create an own KXMLGUIClient derived PluginView class and create an own instance for every mainwindow. One PluginView then is bound to this specific MainWindow.

As already mentioned in the Plugin class documentation, readSessionConfig() and writeSessionConfig() are called to load and save session related data.

Basic PluginView Example

A PluginView is bound to a single MainWindow. To add GUI elements KDE's GUI XML frameworks is used, i.e. the MainWindow provides a KXMLGUIFactory into which the KXMLGUIClient is to be hooked. So the plugin view must inherit from Kate::XMLGUIClient, the following example shows the basic skeleton of the PluginView.

class PluginView : public QObject, public Kate::XMLGUIClient
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
// Constructor and other methods
PluginView( Kate::MainWindow* mainwindow )
: QObject( mainwindow )
, Kate::XMLGUIClient( YourPluginFactory::componentData() )
, m_mainwindow( mainwindow )
{ ... }
// ...
private:
Kate::MainWindow* m_mainwindow;
};

To embedd a plugin view as a tool view you have to call MainWindow::createToolView() and hook your gui into the returned widget.

Member Function Documentation

MainWindow * Kate::PluginView::mainWindow ( ) const

Accessor to the Kate mainwindow of this view.

Returns
the mainwindow object

Definition at line 109 of file plugin.cpp.

void Kate::PluginView::readSessionConfig ( KConfigBase *  config,
const QString &  groupPrefix 
)
virtual

Load session specific settings here.

This function is called whenever a Kate session is loaded. You should use the given config and prefix groupPrefix to store the data. The group prefix exist so that the group does not clash with other applications that use the same config file.

Parameters
configthe KConfig object which is to be used
groupPrefixthe group prefix which is to be used
See also
writeSessionConfig()

Definition at line 114 of file plugin.cpp.

void Kate::PluginView::writeSessionConfig ( KConfigBase *  config,
const QString &  groupPrefix 
)
virtual

Store session specific settings here.

This function is called whenever a Kate session is saved. You should use the given config and prefix groupPrefix to store the data. The group prefix exists so that the group does not clash with other applications that use the same config file.

Parameters
configthe KConfig object which is to be used
groupPrefixthe group prefix which is to be used
