Detailed Description

An abstract interface for probe tools.

The ToolFactory class is an abstract base class for creating probe tools for GammaRay. Each tool must have a unique identifier.

Member Function Documentation

virtual QString GammaRay::ToolFactory::id ( ) const
pure virtual

Unique id of this tool.

Returns
a QString containing the tool id.

Implemented in GammaRay::StandardToolFactory< Type, Tool >.

virtual void GammaRay::ToolFactory::init ( ProbeInterface probe)
pure virtual

Initialize the tool.

Implement this method to do non-GUI initialization, such as creating object tracking models etc.

Parameters
probeThe probe interface allowing access to the object models.

Implemented in GammaRay::StandardToolFactory< Type, Tool >.

virtual bool GammaRay::ToolFactory::isHidden ( ) const
virtual

Allows to hide a plug-in from the UI.

This is useful for plug-ins that only provide support for additional data types. The value is usually filled in by the plug-in loader

Returns
true if the plug-in has no tool view.
Since
2.1
virtual QVector<QByteArray> GammaRay::ToolFactory::selectableTypes ( ) const
virtual

Class names of types this tool can select.

This must be a subset of supportedTypes(), and is used to check if this tool is a viable candidate for object navigation. When returning an non-empty result here, you must handle the Probe::objectSelected() signal.

void GammaRay::ToolFactory::setSupportedTypes ( const QVector< QByteArray > &  types)

Set names of supported classes.

See also
supportedTypes()
Since
2.5
const QVector<QByteArray>& GammaRay::ToolFactory::supportedTypes ( ) const

Class names of types this tool can handle.

The tool will only be activated if an object of one of these types is seen in the probed application.

Returns
a QVector<QByteArray> of class names of types this tool supports.
QString GammaRay::ToolFactory::supportedTypesString ( ) const

Class names of types this tool can handle as a string.

Returns
a comma separated QString of class names of types this tool supports.
