Using designer integration support library

Each language support which wants to use integrated designer, must reimplement

virtual KDevDesignerIntegration *KDevLanguageSupport::designer(KInterfaceDesigner::DesignerType type)

method and return designer integration object (KDevLanguageSupport base class returns 0).

Qt designer integration can be easily implemented by reusing QtDesignerIntegration base class.

For example, designer method of a language support could look like:

KDevDesignerIntegration * MyLanguageSupportPart::designer(KInterfaceDesigner::DesignerType type)
{
    KDevDesignerIntegration *des = 0;
    switch (type)
    {
        case KInterfaceDesigner::QtDesigner:
            des = m_designers[type];
            if (des == 0)
            {
                MyLanguageImplementationWidget *impl = new MyLanguageImplementationWidget(this);
                des = new MyLanguageQtDesignerIntegration(this, impl);
                m_designers[type] = des;
            }
            break;
    }
    return des;
}
return des;

In the code above m_designers is a designer cache declared as:

QMap<KInterfaceDesigner::DesignerType, KDevDesignerIntegration*> m_designers;

MyLanguageImplementationWidget and MyLanguageQtDesignerIntegration classes are subclasses of QtDesignerIntegration and ImplementationWidget base classes.
