    Hi.
    I need to write refactoring plugin with my own refactoring rules.
    After some AST constructions have found I need to make bulb indicator as shown in the picture. Also I need to view a tooltip.

    So what way I should go?
    It seems to me that if I will realize Core::IEditorFactory and Core::IEditor interface I will get access to new editor tab. But I also need all QtCreator features.

      Upd1:
      I find cppeditor plugin realizes CppEditorFactory realizes TextEditorFactory. But there is no exported Factory using ExtensionSystem::PluginManager::addObject. Do I need to use inheritance from CppEditorFactory to write my own Factory? (i.e. is it right way to use CppEditorFactory with it`s full funcionallity as base class for my Factory?

        Hi @petroff,

        you should probably ask these questions at the Qt Creator mailing list, where the developers reside.

        This forum is more user orientated.

        Regards

        Qt has to stay free or it will die.
