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>
