Description</h2> <p>The QDesignerFormEditorInterface class allows you to access Qt Designer's various components.</p> <p><i>Qt Designer</i>'s current QDesignerFormEditorInterface object holds information about all <i>Qt Designer</i>'s components: The action editor, the object inspector, the property editor, the widget box, and the extension and form window managers. QDesignerFormEditorInterface contains a collection of functions that provides interfaces to all these components. They are typically used to query (and manipulate) the respective component. For example:</p> <pre class="cpp"> <span class="type"><a href="qdesignerobjectinspectorinterface.html">QDesignerObjectInspectorInterface</a></span> <span class="operator">*</span>objectInspector <span class="operator">=</span> <span class="number">0</span>; objectInspector <span class="operator">=</span> formEditor<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">></span><a href="qdesignerformeditorinterface.html#objectInspector">objectInspector</a>(); <span class="type"><a href="qdesignerformwindowmanagerinterface.html">QDesignerFormWindowManagerInterface</a></span> <span class="operator">*</span>manager <span class="operator">=</span> <span class="number">0</span>; manager <span class="operator">=</span> formEditor<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">></span><a href="qdesignerformeditorinterface.html#formWindowManager">formWindowManager</a>(); objectInspector<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">></span>setFormWindow(manager<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">></span>formWindow(<span class="number">0</span>));</pre> <p>QDesignerFormEditorInterface is not intended to be instantiated directly. A pointer to <i>Qt Designer</i>'s current QDesignerFormEditorInterface object (<tt>formEditor</tt> in the example above) is provided by the <a href="qdesignercustomwidgetinterface.html#initialize">QDesignerCustomWidgetInterface::initialize</a>() function's parameter. When implementing a custom widget plugin, you must subclass the <a href="qdesignercustomwidgetinterface.html">QDesignerCustomWidgetInterface</a> to expose your plugin to <i>Qt Designer</i>.</p> <p>QDesignerFormEditorInterface also provides functions that can set the action editor, property editor, object inspector and widget box. These are only useful if you want to provide your own custom components.</p> <p>If designer is embedded in another program, one could to provide its own settings manager. The manager is used by the components of <i>Qt Designer</i> to store/retrieve persistent configuration settings. The default manager uses <a href="qsettings.html">QSettings</a> as the backend.</p> <p>Finally, QDesignerFormEditorInterface provides the <a href="qdesignerformeditorinterface.html#topLevel">topLevel</a>() function that returns <i>Qt Designer</i>'s top-level widget.</p> </div> <p><b>See also </b><a
