Public Methods

•  Factory ( QObject *parent = 0, const char *name = 0 )
• virtual  ~Factory ()

Detailed Description

A generic factory object to create a Part.

Factory is an abstract class. Reimplement the createPartObject() method to give it functionality.

See also: KLibFactory.

[virtual]

Creates a part.

The QStringList can be used to pass additional arguments to the part. If the part needs additional arguments, it should take them as name="value" pairs. This is the way additional arguments will get passed to the part from eg. khtml. You can for example emebed the part into HTML by using the following code:

This could result in a call to

     createPart( parentWidget, name, parentObject, parentName, "Kparts::Part",
                 QStringList("name1="value1"", "name2="value2") );

createPart() automatically emits a signal KLibFactory::objectCreated to tell the library about its newly created object. This is very important for reference counting, and allows unloading the library automatically once all its objects have been destroyed.

Returns: the newly created part.

[protected pure virtual]

Reimplement this method in your implementation to create the Part.

The QStringList can be used to pass additional arguments to the part. If the part needs additional arguments, it should take them as name="value" pairs. This is the way additional arguments will get passed to the part from eg. khtml. You can for example emebed the part into HTML by using the following code:

This could result in a call to

     createPart( parentWidget, name, parentObject, parentName, "Kparts::Part",
                 QStringList("name1="value1"", "name2="value2") );

Returns: the newly created part.
