How to invoke a dialog for a custom plugin to get the input properties
Message 1 in thread
Hi,
I am using a QT 3.3.5 for my development
I am creating a custom plugin to for my application. I want to know how
to invoke a dialog in the designer to take some input values. Currently
I am using the property editor in the designer to take the inputs but
it is very exhausting process.Can anyone please let me know how to
create a dialog to get the values from the user in the QT designer.
I will give you a example
1. Lets take the list view. When I RIGHT clicking and select the
"edit" in the context menu of the list view in the designer. I get a new
dialog where I can edit the values of the header etc..
2. When we click the "what is this" property we get an editor to enter
the values for the "what is this" property in the property editor window
for any widget.
I want to do a similar dialog for my custom plugin.
I have seen some docs in 4.0 and above where I can create this very
easily .But I want to do this in 3.3.5 version and want to know how to
do it. I dont want to shift to another version for developing this.

Well, I'm not a designer expert, but I don't think this is possible with
Qt3.3 without changing designers code. Thats why its not documented and
you can only find information about Qt4 supporting these things.

Hi,
I am posting this question for the thrid time. Can some body answer this
at least the trolltech guys.
I need to store the property in the ui that I obtain from the user for
the custom plugin. For this I need to create a edit dialog which should
be created in a similar manner as QListview and QTable header edit
dialog and I should be able to store the property values in the UI file
after the user enters it.

Srikanth,
This is not possible in Qt3 Designer and is barely possible in Qt4 via
the QDesignerTaskMenuExtension. However, you still not be able to
save/load/generate code for things that are not a Q_PROPERTY without
using the undocumented QDesignerExtraInfoExtension. This still will not
all you to generate code from the extra saved info..... This feature
may be implemented in some future version of Qt4 when the
QDesignerCustomWidgetINterface::codeTemplate() is called by uic.
