<div class="descr">
<h2 id="details">Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The <a href="qextensionmanager.html">QExtensionManager</a> class provides extension management facilities for Qt Designer.</p>
<p>In <i>Qt Designer</i> the extensions are not created until they are required. For that reason, when implementing an extension, you must also create a <a href="qextensionfactory.html">QExtensionFactory</a>, i.e a class that is able to make an instance of your extension, and register it using <i>Qt Designer</i>'s extension manager.</p>
<p>The registration of an extension factory is typically made in the <a href="qdesignercustomwidgetinterface.html#initialize">QDesignerCustomWidgetInterface::initialize</a>() function:</p>
<pre class="cpp">

          <span class="type">void</span> MyPlugin<span class="operator">::</span>initialize(<span class="type"><a href="qdesignerformeditorinterface.html">QDesignerFormEditorInterface</a></span> <span class="operator">*</span>formEditor)
          {
              <span class="keyword">if</span> (initialized)
                  <span class="keyword">return</span>;

              <span class="type"><a href="qextensionmanager.html#QExtensionManager">QExtensionManager</a></span> <span class="operator">*</span>manager <span class="operator">=</span> formEditor<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">&gt;</span>extensionManager();
              Q_ASSERT(manager <span class="operator">!</span><span class="operator">=</span> <span class="number">0</span>);

              manager<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">&gt;</span>registerExtensions(<span class="keyword">new</span> MyExtensionFactory(manager)<span class="operator">,</span>
                                          Q_TYPEID(<span class="type"><a href="qdesignertaskmenuextension.html">QDesignerTaskMenuExtension</a></span>));

              initialized <span class="operator">=</span> <span class="keyword">true</span>;
          }

</pre>
<p>The <a href="qextensionmanager.html">QExtensionManager</a> is not intended to be instantiated directly. You can retrieve an interface to <i>Qt Designer</i>'s extension manager using the <a href="qdesignerformeditorinterface.html#extensionManager">QDesignerFormEditorInterface::extensionManager</a>() function. A pointer to <i>Qt Designer</i>'s current <a href="qdesignerformeditorinterface.html">QDesignerFormEditorInterface</a> object (<code>formEditor</code> 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>Then, when an extension is required, <i>Qt Designer</i>'s extension manager will run through all its registered factories calling <a href="qextensionfactory.html#createExtension">QExtensionFactory::createExtension</a>() for each until the first one that is able to create the requested extension for the selected object, is found. This factory will then make an instance of the extension.</p>
<p>There are four available types of extensions in <i>Qt Designer</i>: <a href="qdesignercontainerextension.html">QDesignerContainerExtension</a> , <a href="qdesignermembersheetextension.html">QDesignerMemberSheetExtension</a>, <a href="qdesignerpropertysheetextension.html">QDesignerPropertySheetExtension</a> and <a href="qdesignertaskmenuextension.html">QDesignerTaskMenuExtension</a>. <i>Qt Designer</i>'s behavior is the same whether the requested extension is associated with a container, a member sheet, a property sheet or a task menu.</p>
<p>For a complete example using the <a href="qextensionmanager.html">QExtensionManager</a> class, see the <a href="qtdesigner-taskmenuextension-example.html">Task Menu Extension example</a>. The example shows how to create a custom widget plugin for Qt Designer, and how to to use the <a href="qdesignertaskmenuextension.html">QDesignerTaskMenuExtension</a> class to add custom items to <i>Qt Designer</i>'s task menu.</p>

<p>Using the company and product names is a good way to ensure uniqueness of the identifier.</p>
<p>When implementing a custom extension class, you must use Q_DECLARE_EXTENSION_INTERFACE() to enable usage of the <a href="qextensionmanager.html#qt_extension">qt_extension</a>() function.
