The Resource framework is for example used for addressbook resources in libtdeabc and for calendar resources in libkcal. When you want to use the framework for a new family, you need to
  • Define a name for your resource family
  • subclass Resource and add the fields and method that are needed in your application
  • If needed, override the doOpen() and doClose() methods.
  • In your application, you can use ResourceManager to keep track of the resources in your family, and you can use ResourceSelectDialog to let the user select a single resource.
When you want to add a new resource type to an existing resource family, you need to
  • Further subclass the family-specific Resource to implement resource type-specific operation
  • Subclass ResourceConfigWidget to provide a configuration widget for your new resource type
  • Provide a .desktop file so that the new resource type can be found automatically by the ResourceManager

A Resource represents the concept of an object with the following attributes: - Applications operate on sets of one or more Resource objects. - Creation and deletetion of Resource objects is done in a general way, independent of concrete functionality of the Resource. - The end user has control over creation, deletion and configuration of Resource object. - Properties, behaviour and configuration of different Resource objects can widely differ. - Resources can be active or inactive. - There is one special Resource which is the standard Resource. This can for example be used as default destination for newly created object managed by a certain Resource family. - Activation of Resources can be covered by a two step process of being opened and then loaded. Deactivation corresponds to saving and closing. - Different application ususally share the same set of Resources. The Resource base class provides the management functionality. Classes inheriting from Resource automatically appear in the general tderesources kcontrol module. Concrete functionality of Resources is specified per family by a subclass of Resource. This classes in turn have subclasses which implement the different flavours of the functionality represented by the family. A subclass should reimplement at least the constructor and the writeConfig method. An example for a Resource subclass hierarchy would be the "calendar" family. The ResourceCalendar subclass would specify an API for accessing calendar data. Subclasses of ResourceCalendar would implement this API for local files, remote files, specific calendar servers etc. */ class TDERESOURCES_EXPORT Resource : public TQObject { friend class Factory; friend class ManagerImpl; Q_OBJECT public: typedef TQValueList List; /** * Constructor.
