30 * @class Part part.h <KParts/Part>
31 *
32 * @short Base class for parts.
33 *
34 * A "part" is a GUI component, featuring:
35 * @li A widget embeddedable in any application.
36 * @li GUI elements that will be merged in the "host" user interface
37 * (menubars, toolbars... ).
38 *
39 * <b>About the widget:</b>\n
40 *
41 * Note that KParts::Part does not inherit QWidget.
42 * This is due to the fact that the "visual representation"
43 * will probably not be a mere QWidget, but an elaborate one.
44 * That's why when implementing your KParts::Part (or derived)
45 * you should call KParts::Part::setWidget() in your constructor.
46 *
47 * <b>About the GUI elements:</b>\n
48 *
49 * Those elements trigger actions, defined by the part ( action()).
50 * The layout of the actions in the GUI is defined by an XML file ( setXMLFile()).
51 *
52 * See also ReadOnlyPart and ReadWritePart, which define the
53 * framework for a "viewer" part and for an "editor"-like part.
54 * Use Part directly only if your part doesn't fit into those.
