Greetings,
	Since the trolls have pretty much removed all support for loading 
custom widgets at runtime, as well as even getting a list of widgets 
available our automagical bindings for QWidgets that we had in Qt3 is 
now gone. I figured out how to create widgets, layouts and actions, 
but you cannot get a list of all available types.  Basicly you have 
to hope.  Also since all the methods we would possibly use to get 
this done are protected, or abstract virtual methods, we will not see 
a fix until Qt 5.

	To get around this I have a solution, but I am wanting some feedback 
from the audience here.  I like the MS way of exposing ActiveX to 
javascript via a container object:
	var ax = new AxObject("MyControl", args);
I am currently doing the same thing with the Qt form loading now:
	var form = new Form("myuifile.ui", this);
The "form" variable now is the QWidget returned by the form.  This can 
further be extended imho to QWidgets, QLayouts and QActions.
	var button = new Widget("QPushButton", "Push Me", this);
	var layout = new Layout("QFlowLayout", this );
This could then be further extended to KParts and other plugins as 
follows:
	var khtml = new RoPart("KHTML", this );

	The big problem I see with this though is that we depart from how we 
do the other bindings.  Now this may not really be an issue, since if 
someone wishes to make a more complete QTabWidget binding they can, 
and then they can just new a QTabWidget binding from the script.  
This may in fact be a blessing in disguise since it will leave a very 
definite line between automaticly bound objects and explicitly bound 
objects...  

Opinions?

Cheers
