Coding with KParts

Posted by Hemos on from the how-to-make-better-programs dept.

wrinkledshirt writes "IBM DeveloperWorks has an article here about coding with KParts, KDE's component architecture. It's a little thin, but given that no single component technology has claimed victory yet for Linux, just thought this might be an interesting read for some.

    That being said, you should definitely read (or at least skim through) this article about C++ applications on the desktop.

    Ah yes... You are correct. However, there is a new thing called Xparts. This is basically works just like a Kpart, but is actually a proxy which can communicate with objects written in other languages. It's talked about in the article.

    In fact, they mention that a "vi" Xpart is under development. So you could embed vi in kmail and write all your email in vi.
