qt plugins
Message 1 in thread
Hey all,
What's the nature of the qt plugin system?
According to the docs I found some info that plugins can be included in
the Qt designer as components, which is nice of course. But that is not
really what I am looking for.
How about "run time" plugins? ( if that is a correct word for it ). I am
in the process of designing a software which I want to be able to
include widgets or other components in a plugin fashion, to make it as
easily extensible, and also to allow for easier delegation of work on my
application. I want something similar to: anyone can write a module
( library ) for my program, and my program should at runtime detect and
include the new module ( e.g. lib ) into the application. How is this
achieved? Does Qt provide any support for this? Or is it achievable with
C++?
Any hints and advice much appreciated,
Thanking you in advance.
