Member Function Documentation

StelModule* StelModuleMgr::getModule	(	const QString &	moduleID,
		bool	noWarning = false
	)

Get the corresponding module or NULL if can't find it.

Parameters:

moduleID	the QObject name of the module instance, by convention it is equal to the class name.
noWarning	if true, don't display any warning if the module is not found.

StelModule* StelModuleMgr::loadPlugin

(

const QString &

moduleID

)

Load dynamically a module.

Parameters:

moduleID

the name of the module = name of the dynamic library file without extension (e.g "mymodule" for mymodule.so or mymodule.dll)

Returns:

the loaded module or NULL in case of error. The returned Stelmodule still needs to be initialized

void StelModuleMgr::registerModule	(	StelModule *	m,
		bool	generateCallingLists = false
	)

Register a new StelModule to the list The module is later referenced by its QObject name.

void StelModuleMgr::setPluginLoadAtStartup	(	const QString &	key,
		bool	b
	)

Define whether a plugin should be loaded at startup.

Parameters:

key	the key of the plugin as in the PluginDescriptor class.
b	the value to set.

void StelModuleMgr::unloadModule	(	const QString &	moduleID,
		bool	alsoDelete = true
	)

Unregister and delete a StelModule.

The program will hang if other modules depend on the removed one

Parameters:

moduleID	the unique ID of the module, by convention equal to the class name
alsoDelete	if true also delete the StelModule instance, otherwise it has to be deleted by external code.
