Detailed Description

The QMouseDriverPlugin class is an abstract base class for mouse driver plugins.

Note that this class is only available in Qtopia Core.

QMouseDriverPlugin is a simple plugin interface that makes it easy to create custom mouse drivers that can be loaded dynamically into applications using the QMouseDriverFactory class.

Writing a custom mouse driver plugin is achieved by subclassing QMouseDriverPlugin, reimplementing the pure virtual keys() and create() functions, and exporting the class with the Q_EXPORT_PLUGIN2() macro. See How to Create Qt Plugins for details.

See also QMouseDriverFactory, QWSMouseHandler, and Pointer Handling.

Member Function Documentation

QMouseDriverPlugin::QMouseDriverPlugin ( QObject * parent = 0 )

Constructs a mouse driver plugin with the given parent.

Note that this constructor is invoked automatically by the Q_EXPORT_PLUGIN2() macro, so there is no need for calling it explicitly.

QMouseDriverPlugin::~QMouseDriverPlugin ()

Destroys the mouse driver plugin.

Note that Qt destroys a plugin automatically when it is no longer used, so there is no need for calling the destructor explicitly.

QWSMouseHandler * QMouseDriverPlugin::create ( const QString & key, const QString & device )   [pure virtual]

Creates a driver matching the type specified by the given key and device parameters. Keys are case-insensitive.

See also keys().

QStringList QMouseDriverPlugin::keys () const   [pure virtual]

Returns the list of valid keys, i.e. mouse drivers supported by this plugin.

Qtopia Core currently supports the following drivers by default: MouseMan, IntelliMouse, Microsoft, VR41xx, LinuxTP, Yopy and Tslib.
