QObject * QWebPluginFactory::create ( const QString & mimeType, const QUrl & url, const QStringList & argumentNames, const QStringList & argumentValues ) const [pure virtual]

Implemented in subclasses to create a new plugin that can display content of the MIME type given by mimeType. The URL of the content is provided in url. The returned object should be a QWidget.

The HTML object element can provide parameters through the <param> tag. The name and the value attributes of these tags are specified by the argumentNames and argumentValues string lists.

For example:

 <object type="application/x-pdf" data="http://qt.nokia.com/document.pdf" width="500" height="400">
     <param name="showTableOfContents" value="true" />
     <param name="hideThumbnails" value="false" />
 </object>

The above object element will result in a call to create() with the following arguments:

Note: Ownership of the returned object will be transferred to the caller.

QList<Plugin> QWebPluginFactory::plugins () const [pure virtual]

void QWebPluginFactory::refreshPlugins () [virtual]

This function is called to refresh the list of supported plugins. It may be called after a new plugin has been installed in the system.
