## Protected Slots

void | createGUI (KParts::Part *part)
| Create the GUI (by merging the host's and the active part's) You _must_ call this in order to see any GUI being created.
virtual void | slotSetStatusBarText (const QString &)
| Called when the active part wants to change the statusbar message Reimplement if your mainwindow has a complex statusbar (with several items).

## Detailed Description

A KPart-aware main window, whose user interface is described in XML.

Inherit your main window from this class and don't forget to call setXMLFile() in the inherited constructor.

It implements all internal interfaces in the case of a KMainWindow as host: the builder and servant interface (for menu merging).

## Member Function Documentation

void MainWindow::createGUI | ( | KParts::Part * | part | ) | `[protected, slot]`

Create the GUI (by merging the host's and the active part's) You _must_ call this in order to see any GUI being created.

In a main window with multiple parts being shown (e.g. as in Konqueror) you need to connect this slot to the KPartManager::activePartChanged() signal

Parameters:

  part | The active part (set to 0L if no part).

void MainWindow::slotSetStatusBarText | ( | const QString & |  | ) | `[protected, virtual, slot]`
