<h1>EditorChooser Class Reference</h1>
<code>from PyKDE4.ktexteditor import *</code>

<h2>Detailed Description</h2>

<p>Editor Component Chooser.
</p>
<p>
Topics:
- chooser_intro
- chooser_gui
- chooser_editor
</p>
<p>
<b>Introduction </b>
</p>
<p>
The EditorChooser is responsible for two different tasks: It provides
- a GUI, with which the user can choose the preferred editor part
- a static accessor, with which the current selected editor part can be
obtained.
</p>
<p>
<b>The GUI Editor Chooser </b>
The EditorChooser is a simple widget with a group box containing an
information label and a combo box which lists all available KTextEditor
implementations. To give the user the possibility to choose a text editor
implementation, create an instance of this class and put it into the GUI:
<pre class="fragment">
 KTextEditor.EditorChooser* ec = new KTextEditor.EditorChooser(parent);
 // read the settings from the application's KConfig object
 ec-&gt;readAppSetting();
 // optionally connect the signal changed()
 // plug the widget into a layout
 layout-&gt;addWidget(ec);
</pre>
Later, for example when the user clicks the Apply-button:
<pre class="fragment">
 // save the user's choice
 ec-&gt;writeAppSetting();
</pre>
After this, the static accessor editor() will return the new editor part
object. Now, either the application has to be restarted, or you need code
that closes all current documents so that you can safely switch and use the
new editor part. Restarting is probably much easier.
</p>
<p>
<dl class="note" compact><dt><b>Note:</b></dt><dd> If you do not put the EditorChooser into the GUI, the default editor
component will be used. The default editor is configurable in KDE's
control center in
"KDE Components &gt; Component Chooser &gt; Embedded Text Editor".
</dd></dl> </p>
<p>
<b>Accessing the Editor Part </b>
The call of editor() will return the currently used editor part, either the
KDE default or the one configured with the EditorChooser's GUI
(see chooser_gui). Example:
<pre class="fragment">
 KTextEditor.Editor* editor = KTextEditor.EditorChooser.editor();
</pre>
