Hello everyone, I am thinking about using the plugin system of Qt Creator to build a custom application instead of rewriting one from scratch. This way, I will benefit from all the functionalities provided by the Core plugin of Qt Creator(Navigation Widget, Output Panes, Fancy Tabs, etc. ). I've already downloaded Qt Creator sources and removed all plugins except the Core plugin. But in my application, instead of having subclasses of IEditor which are showed in the central area of the application, I want to have simple subclasses of QWidget and I can switch from one window to another by selecting it's title in the combobox like what is done with the files opened.
I wonder how to do this. I read some parts of the Qt Creator source codes, (I'm not a guru, I'm pretty new to this, so please be indulgent). By searching what is done with the output window manager, my first idea is to write theses classes: - ISubWindow - ISubWindowManager - ISubWindowManagerPlaceHolder. But the problem is I don't really understand how (for example for the output window manager) these classes work and how they interact with each other and how they are exposed to the MainWindow for their rendering to the screen. I know what I'm asking is very consequent, but if someone can help me understand this and/or give me advices on how to achieve my idea, he will help me a lot. Thanks. _______________________________________________ Qt-creator mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt.nokia.com/mailman/listinfo/qt-creator
