Hello everyone,
I am developing an application that helps users and developers manage
a variety of database servers, and I would like to use a KTextEditor (or
Kate) as my text editing widget as it has line numbering and syntax
highlighting capabilities built in.

I am having difficulties figuring out how to accomplish this. I've
looked at the source code for various applications, including Kile and
Quanta, and have even started looking at KDevPlatform. I'm sure I could
figure this out with enough time from one or more of these applications,
but I was wondering if anyone could point me to a tutorial or a small,
simple application, or a minimal code snippet or example that
demonstrates how to achieve this. Thank you for your time.
Is this on KDE4 or KF5 ?
Apologies for not specifying. This is KDE4.
In KDE4, you first have to do something like this:
KTextEditor::Editor *editor = KTextEditor::EditorChooser::editor();
if (!editor) {
// the KTextEditor implementaiton was not found
}
KTextEditor::Document * document = editor->createDocument(parentObject);
KTextEditor::View * view = editor->createView(parentWidget);
view = document->createView(this);
...
Hope that helps,
Dominik
Thank you, Dominik. I gave it another go, and I think I'm further along
than I was last night. I am, however, stumped now by the following error:
invalid conversion from ‘KTextEditor::View*’ to
‘AssetQueryEditorWidget*’
I'm trying to do this:
class AssetQueryEditorWidget : public KTextEditor::View {}
and inside class AssetQuerySessionWidget do the following from your
suggestions:
KTextEditor::Editor *editor = KTextEditor::EditorChooser::editor();
newDocument = editor->createDocument(0);
assetQueryEditorWidget = newDocument->createView(this);
I think I may need a cast but I'm honestly not sure if I'm even on the
right track with this.
If you or anyone is willing to have a further look, I've committed the
broken code to GitHub here:

Thank you again for your time, Dominik. Take care.
Sincerely,
Jason Smith
