Detailed Description

The part manager is an object which knows about a collection of parts (even nested ones) and handles activation/deactivation.

Applications that want to embed parts without merging GUIs only use a KParts::PartManager. Those who want to merge GUIs use a KParts::MainWindow for example, in addition to a part manager.

Parts know about the part manager to add nested parts to it. See also KParts::Part::manager() and KParts::Part::setManager().

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

PartManager::PartManager QWidget parent,
const char *  name = 0L
 

Constructs a part manager.

Parameters:
parent The toplevel widget (window / dialog) the partmanager should monitor for activation/selection events

Definition at line 72 of file partmanager.cpp.

References addManagedTopLevelWidget().

PartManager::PartManager QWidget topLevel,
QObject parent,
const char *  name = 0
 

Constructs a part manager.

Parameters:
topLevel The toplevel widget (window / dialog ) the partmanager should monitor for activation/selection events
parent The parent QObject.

Definition at line 84 of file partmanager.cpp.

References addManagedTopLevelWidget().


Member Function Documentation

void PartManager::setSelectionPolicy SelectionPolicy  policy  ) 
 

Sets the selection policy of the partmanager.

Definition at line 111 of file partmanager.cpp.

PartManager::SelectionPolicy PartManager::selectionPolicy  )  const
 

Returns the current selection policy.

Definition at line 116 of file partmanager.cpp.

void PartManager::setAllowNestedParts bool  allow  ) 
 

Specifies whether the partmanager should handle/allow nested parts or not.

This is a property the shell has to set/specify. Per default we assume that the shell cannot handle nested parts. However in case of a KOffice shell for example we allow nested parts. A Part is nested (a child part) if its parent object inherits KParts::Part. If a child part is activated and nested parts are not allowed/handled, then the top parent part in the tree is activated.

Definition at line 121 of file partmanager.cpp.

bool PartManager::allowNestedParts  )  const
 

See also:
setAllowNestedParts

Definition at line 126 of file partmanager.cpp.

void PartManager::setIgnoreScrollBars bool  ignore  ) 
 

Specifies whether the partmanager should ignore mouse click events for scrollbars or not.

If the partmanager ignores them, then clicking on the scrollbars of a non-active/non-selected part will not change the selection or activation state.

The default value is false (read: scrollbars are NOT ignored).

Definition at line 131 of file partmanager.cpp.

bool PartManager::ignoreScrollBars  )  const
 

See also:
setIgnoreScrollBars

Definition at line 136 of file partmanager.cpp.

void PartManager::setActivationButtonMask short int  buttonMask  ) 
 

Specifies which mouse buttons the partmanager should react upon.

By default it reacts on all mouse buttons (LMB/MMB/RMB).

Parameters:
buttonMask a combination of Qt::ButtonState values e.g. Qt::LeftButton | Qt::MidButton

Definition at line 141 of file partmanager.cpp.

short int PartManager::activationButtonMask  )  const
 

See also:
setActivationButtonMask

Definition at line 146 of file partmanager.cpp.

void PartManager::addPart Part part,
bool  setActive = true
[virtual]
 

Adds a part to the manager.

Sets it to the active part automatically if setActive is true (default ).

Definition at line 300 of file partmanager.cpp.

References QWidget::focusPolicy(), kdWarning(), QObject::name(), partAdded(), setActivePart(), QWidget::setFocus(), KParts::Part::setManager(), QWidget::show(), and KParts::Part::widget().

Referenced by replacePart().

void PartManager::removePart Part part  )  [virtual]
 

Removes a part from the manager (this does not delete the object) .

Sets the active part to 0 if part is the activePart() .

Definition at line 331 of file partmanager.cpp.

References kdFatal(), QObject::name(), partRemoved(), setActivePart(), KParts::Part::setManager(), and setSelectedPart().

Referenced by slotObjectDestroyed(), and KParts::Part::~Part().

void PartManager::replacePart Part oldPart,
Part newPart,
bool  setActive = true
[virtual]
 

Replaces oldPart with newPart, and sets newPart as active if setActive is true.

This is an optimised version of removePart + addPart

Definition at line 352 of file partmanager.cpp.

References addPart(), kdFatal(), QObject::name(), partRemoved(), and KParts::Part::setManager().

void PartManager::setActivePart Part part,
QWidget widget = 0L
[virtual]
 

Sets the active part.

The active part receives activation events.

widget can be used to specify which widget was responsible for the activation. This is important if you have multiple views for a document/part , like in KOffice .

Part * PartManager::activePart  )  const [virtual]
 

Returns the active part.

Definition at line 452 of file partmanager.cpp.

QWidget * PartManager::activeWidget  )  const [virtual]
 

Returns the active widget of the current active part (see activePart ).

Definition at line 457 of file partmanager.cpp.

void PartManager::setSelectedPart Part part,
QWidget widget = 0L
[virtual]
 

Sets the selected part.

The selected part receives selection events.

widget can be used to specify which widget was responsible for the selection. This is important if you have multiple views for a document/part , like in KOffice .

Definition at line 462 of file partmanager.cpp.

References QApplication::sendEvent(), and KParts::Part::widget().

Part * PartManager::selectedPart  )  const [virtual]
 

Returns the current selected part.

Definition at line 491 of file partmanager.cpp.

QWidget * PartManager::selectedWidget  )  const [virtual]
 

Returns the selected widget of the current selected part (see selectedPart ).

Definition at line 496 of file partmanager.cpp.

const QPtrList< Part > * PartManager::parts  )  const
 

Returns the list of parts being managed by the partmanager.

Definition at line 515 of file partmanager.cpp.

void PartManager::addManagedTopLevelWidget const QWidget topLevel  ) 
 

Adds the topLevel widget to the list of managed toplevel widgets.

Usually a PartManager only listens for events (for activation/selection) for one toplevel widget (and its children) , the one specified in the constructor. Sometimes however (like for example when using the KDE dockwidget library) , it is necessary to extend this.

void PartManager::setActiveInstance KInstance instance  )  [protected, virtual]
 

Changes the active instance when the active part changes.

The active instance is used by KBugReport and KAboutDialog. Override if you really need to - usually you don't need to.

void PartManager::slotObjectDestroyed  )  [protected, slot]
 

Removes a part when it is destroyed.
