manipulate the collection of form windows in Qt Designer, and
control Qt Designer's form editing actions.</p>
<p>QDesignerFormWindowManagerInterface is not intended to be
instantiated directly. <i>Qt Designer</i> uses the form window
manager to control the various form windows in its workspace. You
can retrieve an interface to <i>Qt Designer</i>'s form window
manager using the <a href="qdesignerformeditorinterface.html#formWindowManager">QDesignerFormEditorInterface.formWindowManager</a>()
function. For example:</p>
<pre class="cpp">
<span class="type">QDesignerFormWindowManagerInterface</span> <span class="operator">*</span>manager <span class="operator">=</span> <span class="number">0</span>;
<span class="type"><a href="qdesignerformwindowinterface.html">QDesignerFormWindowInterface</a></span> <span class="operator">*</span>formWindow <span class="operator">=</span> <span class="number">0</span>;
manager <span class="operator">=</span> formEditor<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">></span>formWindowManager();
formWindow <span class="operator">=</span> manager<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">></span><a href="qdesignerformwindowmanagerinterface.html#formWindow">formWindow</a>(<span class="number">0</span>);
manager<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">></span><a href="qdesignerformwindowmanagerinterface.html#setActiveFormWindow">setActiveFormWindow</a>(formWindow);
</pre>
<p>When implementing a custom widget plugin, a pointer to <i>Qt
Designer</i>'s current <a href="qdesignerformeditorinterface.html">QDesignerFormEditorInterface</a>
object (<tt>formEditor</tt> in the example above) is provided by
the <a href="qdesignercustomwidgetinterface.html#initialize">QDesignerCustomWidgetInterface.initialize</a>()
function's parameter. You must subclass the <a href="qdesignercustomwidgetinterface.html">QDesignerCustomWidgetInterface</a>
to expose your plugin to Qt Designer.</p>
<p>The form window manager interface provides the <a href="qdesignerformwindowmanagerinterface.html#createFormWindow">createFormWindow</a>()
function that enables you to create a new form window which you can
add to the collection of form windows that the manager maintains,
using the <a href="qdesignerformwindowmanagerinterface.html#addFormWindow">addFormWindow</a>()
slot. It also provides the <a href="qdesignerformwindowmanagerinterface.html#formWindowCount">formWindowCount</a>()
function returning the number of form windows currently under the
manager's control, the <a href="qdesignerformwindowmanagerinterface.html#formWindow">formWindow</a>()
function returning the form window associated with a given index,
and the <a href="qdesignerformwindowmanagerinterface.html#activeFormWindow">activeFormWindow</a>()
function returning the currently selected form window. The <a href="qdesignerformwindowmanagerinterface.html#removeFormWindow">removeFormWindow</a>()
slot allows you to reduce the number of form windows the manager
must maintain, and the <a href="qdesignerformwindowmanagerinterface.html#setActiveFormWindow">setActiveFormWindow</a>()
slot allows you to change the form window focus in <i>Qt
Designer</i>'s workspace.</p>
<p>In addition, QDesignerFormWindowManagerInterface contains a
collection of functions that enables you to intervene and control
<i>Qt Designer</i>'s form editing actions. All these functions
return the original action, making it possible to propagate the
function further after intervention.</p>
<p>Finally, the interface provides three signals which are emitted
when a form window is added, when the currently selected form
window changes, or when a form window is removed, respectively. All
the signals carry the form window in question as their
parameter.</p>
