<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The QDesignerFormEditorInterface class allows you to access Qt Designer's various components.</p>
<p><i>Qt Designer</i>'s current QDesignerFormEditorInterface object holds information about all <i>Qt Designer</i>'s components: The action editor, the object inspector, the property editor, the widget box, and the extension and form window managers. QDesignerFormEditorInterface contains a collection of functions that provides interfaces to all these components. They are typically used to query (and manipulate) the respective component. For example:</p>
<pre> QDesignerObjectInspectorInterface *objectInspector = 0;
objectInspector = formEditor->objectInspector();
QDesignerFormWindowManagerInterface *manager = 0;
manager = formEditor->formWindowManager();
objectInspector->setFormWindow(manager->formWindow(0));</pre>
<p>QDesignerFormEditorInterface is not intended to be instantiated directly. A pointer to <i>Qt Designer</i>'s current QDesignerFormEditorInterface object (<tt>formEditor</tt> in the example above) is provided by the <a href="qdesignercustomwidgetinterface.html#initialize">QDesignerCustomWidgetInterface::initialize</a>() function's parameter. When implementing a custom widget plugin, you must subclass the <a href="qdesignercustomwidgetinterface.html">QDesignerCustomWidgetInterface</a> to expose your plugin to <i>Qt Designer</i>.</p>
<p>QDesignerFormEditorInterface also provides functions that can set the action editor, property editor, object inspector and widget box. These are only useful if you want to provide your own custom components.</p>
<p>Finally, QDesignerFormEditorInterface provides the <a href="qdesignerformeditorinterface.html#topLevel">topLevel</a>() function that returns <i>Qt Designer</i>'s top-level widget.</p>
<p>See also <a href="qdesignercustomwidgetinterface.html">QDesignerCustomWidgetInterface</a>.</p>
