QThemeItemPlugin Class Reference
[QtBaseModule]

Detailed Description

The QThemeItemPlugin class is a simple plugin interface that makes it easy to create custom theme items that can be loaded dynamically using the QThemeItemFactory class.

Writing a theme item plugin is achieved by subclassing this base class, reimplementing the pure virtual keys() and create() functions, and exporting the class using the QTOPIA_EXPORT_PLUGIN() macro.

See also QThemeItem and QThemeItemFactory.
