For that reason, when implementing a custom extension, you must also create a QExtensionFactory, i.e. a class that is able to make an instance of your extension, and register it using \QD's \l {QExtensionManager}{extension manager}. The QExtensionManager class provides extension management facilities for Qt Designer. When an extension is required, Qt Designer's \l {QExtensionManager}{extension manager} will run through all its registered factories calling QExtensionFactory::createExtension() for each until the first one that is able to create a requested extension for the selected object, is found. This factory will then make an instance of the extension. There are four available types of extensions in Qt Designer: QDesignerContainerExtension , QDesignerMemberSheetExtension, QDesignerPropertySheetExtension and QDesignerTaskMenuExtension. Qt Designer's behavior is the same whether the requested extension is associated with a multi page container, a member sheet, a property sheet or a task menu. You can either create a new QExtensionFactory and reimplement the QExtensionFactory::createExtension() function. For example: \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/tools_designer_src_lib_extension_default_extensionfactory.cpp 0 Or you can use an existing factory, expanding the QExtensionFactory::createExtension() function to make the factory able to create your extension as well. For example: \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/tools_designer_src_lib_extension_default_extensionfactory.cpp 1 For a complete example using the QExtensionFactory class, see the \l {designer/taskmenuextension}{Task Menu Extension example}. The example shows how to create a custom widget plugin for Qt Designer, and how to to use the QDesignerTaskMenuExtension class to add custom items to Qt Designer's task menu. \sa QExtensionManager, QAbstractExtensionFactory */ /*!
