Look at KTextEditor and its apidox. If in doubt grep for it in KDevplatform to see how its being used. > Also, I want to manually define the context-menu items and any other actions > in the interface, so I’m not calling createGUI(m_part).

You can use KTextEditor::Editor::createDocument (e.g. from KTextEditor::Factory) and then create a view for that document. Regarding filtering of context menu items, I'm not sure anymore whether there is anything being added automatically. If so and you cannot find a way to circumvent that, feel free to contact us on kwrite-devel and we'll find a way to solve this. Cheers -- Milian Wolff m...@milianw.de http://milianw.de
