I not sure whether we actually want Plasma::Containments to be written using scripting languages or not.
However, there is some support there in that the Plasma runtime searches for Plasma/Containment service types and creates a Plasma::Containment if it finds one. After that the applet doesn't actually get started. I've found this is because Applet::init() is a virtual method, and the Containment::init() method doesn't call the Applet one. So I tried adding 'Applet::init()' to the Containment::init() method, and found out that Containment::init() was being called twice for my test applet. For the second call, the scripting applet had been created, although isContainment() was no longer true. Hmm.. So here is the change I made for better or worse: Index: containment.cpp =================================================================== --- containment.cpp (revision 1092821) +++ containment.cpp (working copy) @@ -148,6 +148,7 @@ void Containment::init() { if (!isContainment()) { + Applet::init(); return; } When I added support for scripting PopupApplets a few other things needed changing too like plasmapkg. Also Ruby is the only language that actually has a Containment class at the moment. So if it is actually a sensible idea to have scripting containments, there are still a few more things to be done. -- Richard _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
