The TQStylePlugin class provides an abstract base for custom <a href="ntqstyle.html">TQStyle</a> plugins.
<p> 
<p> The style plugin is a simple plugin interface that makes it easy
to create custom styles that can be loaded dynamically into
applications with a <a href="ntqstylefactory.html">TQStyleFactory</a>.
<p> Writing a style plugin is achieved by subclassing this base class,
reimplementing the pure virtual functions <a href="#keys">keys</a>() and <a href="#create">create</a>(), and
exporting the class with the <tt>Q_EXPORT_PLUGIN</tt> macro. See the
<a href="plugins-howto.html">plugins documentation</a> for an
example.
<p>See also <a href="plugins.html">Plugins</a>.

<hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2>
<h3 class=fn><a name="TQStylePlugin"></a>TQStylePlugin::TQStylePlugin ()
</h3>
Constructs a style plugin. This is invoked automatically by the
<tt>Q_EXPORT_PLUGIN</tt> macro.

<h3 class=fn><a name="~TQStylePlugin"></a>TQStylePlugin::~TQStylePlugin ()
</h3>
Destroys the style plugin.
<p> You never have to call this explicitly. TQt destroys a plugin
automatically when it is no longer used.

<h3 class=fn><a href="ntqstyle.html">TQStyle</a>&nbsp;* <a name="create"></a>TQStylePlugin::create ( const&nbsp;<a href="ntqstring.html">TQString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;key )<tt> [pure virtual]</tt>
</h3>

<p> Creates and returns a <a href="ntqstyle.html">TQStyle</a> object for the style key <em>key</em>. The
style key is usually the class name of the required style.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#keys">keys</a>().

<h3 class=fn><a href="ntqstringlist.html">TQStringList</a> <a name="keys"></a>TQStylePlugin::keys () const<tt> [pure virtual]</tt>
</h3>

<p> Returns the list of style keys this plugin supports.
<p> These keys are usually the class names of the custom styles that
are implemented in the plugin.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#create">create</a>().
