<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The QDesignerCustomWidgetCollectionInterface class allows you to include several custom widgets in one single library.</p>
<p>When implementing a custom widget plugin, you build it as a separate library. If you want to include several custom widget plugins in the same library, you must in addition subclass QDesignerCustomWidgetCollectionInterface.</p>
<p>QDesignerCustomWidgetCollectionInterface contains one single function returning a list of the collection's <a href="qdesignercustomwidgetinterface.html">QDesignerCustomWidgetInterface</a> objects. For example, if you have several custom widgets <tt>CustomWidgetOne</tt>, <tt>CustomWidgetTwo</tt> and <tt>CustomWidgetThree</tt>, the class definition may look like this:</p>
<pre> #include customwidgetoneinterface.h
#include customwidgettwointerface.h
#include customwidgetthreeinterface.h
#include <QtDesigner/QtDesigner>
#include <QtCore/qplugin.h>
class MyCustomWidgets: public QObject, public QDesignerCustomWidgetCollectionInterface
{
Q_OBJECT
Q_INTERFACES(QDesignerCustomWidgetCollectionInterface)
public:
MyCustomWidgets(QObject *parent = 0);
virtual QList<QDesignerCustomWidgetInterface*> customWidgets() const;
private:
QList<QDesignerCustomWidgetInterface*> widgets;
};</pre>
<p>In the class constructor you add the interfaces to your custom widgets to the list which you return in the <a href="qdesignercustomwidgetcollectioninterface.html#customWidgets">customWidgets</a>() function:</p>
<pre> MyCustomWidgets::MyCustomWidgets(QObject *parent)
: QObject(parent)
{
widgets.append(new CustomWidgetOneInterface(this));
widgets.append(new CustomWidgetTwoInterface(this));
widgets.append(new CustomWidgetThreeInterface(this));
}
QList<QDesignerCustomWidgetInterface*> MyCustomWidgets::customWidgets() const
{
return widgets;
}
Q_EXPORT_PLUGIN2(customwidgetsplugin, MyCustomWidgets)</pre>
<p>Note that instead of exporting each custom widget plugin using the <a href="qtplugin.html#Q_EXPORT_PLUGIN2">Q_EXPORT_PLUGIN2</a>() macro, you export the entire collection. The <a href="qtplugin.html#Q_EXPORT_PLUGIN2">Q_EXPORT_PLUGIN2</a>() macro ensures that <i>Qt Designer</i> can access and construct the custom widgets. Without this macro, there is no way for <i>Qt Designer</i> to use them.</p>
