general class design

[Falk Brettschneider]

Hi,

Now I don't know what you think where the right place is for the
sub-widgets of class KDevelop...Can you give me your opinions?
And what new sub-classes or parallel classes of class KDevelop are
planned?
What should the new class hierarchie be?
How is the core functionality placed and distributed within the whole
project?
Currently, I'm quite desoriented at all. ;-(

My thoughts are:
one class for the application logic (KDevelopMainControl ? or
CKDevelop?)
   - has got a class member KDevelopGUI* m_GUI
   - has got a document-view control class
   - has got the project control
   - connects the actions of class KDevelopGUI (see below) with the own
application logic
   - accesses the several plugins and calls its functionality
   - ...
one class for the GUI (looks like the current class KDevelop, better
would be KDevelopGUI)
   - has got the actions
   - has got and controls the dockwidgets

I think it should be sufficient if every plugin gives KDevelopGUI a
common QWidget* pointer to enable the embedding of the widget in the
right dockwidget parent. So KDevelopGUI will keep clean from other
classes (more independent).
Something like this:

class KDevelopMainControl : public ...
{
    ...
    MainFrame* m_pMDIMainFrm;
    ...
private:
    void doSomeActionsConcerningToTheSpecialMDIMainFrm(...)
    ...
}

class KDevelopGUI : public KParts::DockMainWindow
{
   ...
    KDockWidget* dockbaseMDIMainFrm;
   ...
public:
    void embedConcreteWidget(QWidget*);
   ...
}

KDevelopGUI::embedConcreteWidget(QWidget* w)
{
    ...
    if(w.name()==QString("mainframe"))
        dockbaseMDIMainFrm->setWidget(w);
    else if( w.name()==QString("CV"))
        dockbaseCV->setWidget(w);
    else if(...
}

What do you think about this approach?
I think in this way at least the GUI class will keep independent from
the other special ones.


Waiting for replies,
