EXtend functionality of QListWidget by making a plugin and use it in designer?

[wysota]

Here is onehttp://www.qtforum.org/thread.php?th...ght=Q+PROPERTY), that is asking exactly what i am asking.

It's not exactly what you are asking. The poster there can't add any properties, and you can't see the ones which are already there.

So i am starting to think it is not possible.

I assure you it's possible.

I think that it is only possible to edit the properties of the base class QWidget even though the documentation vaguely suggests that it is supposed to be possible to make the properties editable in designer by declaring Q_PROPERTY() in the class declaration.
SO if someone can prove me wrong i will jump with joy.

Of course it's possible to add new properties and to see existing ones.

Here you go, you may base your widget on the code attached.

I have not yet had the time to analyse exactly what i did wrong. I will have to look at that in the morning when my brain has regained capacity enough to grasp what u have done. BUT i just wanted to thank u so VERY much for taking the time to look at my sad example and point me in the right direction. I have tried for two days now to figure out what u did in a couple of minutes. So it is really a load of my shoulders. Again THX!

That's not my first Qt Designer plugin, I also learned on my mistakes while making my first plugins.

I sort of figured it was not your first plugin
There were a number of problems with my code but most of all i had not understod the part where u call the base class constructor which seems to have caused some problems. But on thing i am wondering about is it really necessary to include the QCoreApplication. Cause it seems as if it was needed in my program but it is not clear from the documentation that it is needed in cases like this.
BUT then again i dont find the documentation to be very good it leaves a lot of guessing to be done.

Anyway i changed my code according to your example that u attached and now everything works just fine and i am happy as a clam.
I recommend all ppl that are having any problems with their plugins to take a look at the code that Wysota has attached. It is a good base to stand on.

QCoreApplication is responsible for initialising plugins.

BUT then again i dont find the documentation to be very good it leaves a lot of guessing to be done.

That's your opinion According to me it just doesn't try to be smarter than the reader as some docs do.
