Designer 2.0 and C++ editor
Message 1 in thread
Hello,
Is there a way to use NEdit (or xemacs or other 3rd party editor) as the
C++ editor from Designer, instead of the plugin from the Qt lib
(libcppeditor.so) ?
Thank's

Write a plugin that has a widget. As long as you know how to embed an
`arbitrary' x window in that widget, you're home. Should be fairly easy to do
- hopefully without resorting to any Xlib calls (Qt-only), but I'm lacking
the incentive and time ;-((((
Cheers,
Kuba

If am trying to embed an xemacs into a QT-Window.
I already did an qt-xemacs-widget.
The only remaining problem is to get the focus into this widget.
If you are interested I could mail you the package.

Yes, I'm very interested !!! Then, I have to know hown Designer 'speaks'
with the plugins, and to learn how to make such plugin... Well, there is a
long way to go.

Thank's for your source code. But I'm far from knowing how to use X11
events, as you do in your widget !!! I'm afraid I won't be able to help
you.
My idea was to write a very simple plugin for Designer to make it call
NEdit (or xemacs) in client/server mode. So, when you click on the file
browser from Designer, it launchs NEdit in client mode, giving it the good
filename. But I don't need Nedit to be displayed inside Designer. It can
work in its own window. Then, If this feature works, I could try to embed
it inside Designer...
If TrollTech could make a special class do do that, with all the calls
from Designer, it could be easy to adapt it for any editor working in
client/server mode.

Cornelius hacked up a NEdit editor component wrapper for the next generation
KDevelop (gideon) , which implements support for using NEdit as editor in
gideon just the way you describe it (using client/server mode and a separate
toplevel window) . Take a look in the KDE CVS repository in the gideon module :-)
