Description

The WidgetReg template class is used to advertise the existence of a custom widget type. The Interface Manager uses a widget registration to construct a custom widget. The act of instantiating a WidgetReg object automatically registers the corresponding widget type. The widget type is unregistered when the WidgetReg object is destroyed.

The flags parameter is optional and assigns special properties to the widget registration. It can be a combination (through logical OR) of the following values.

kWidgetPanelOnly The widget can only appear in a panel effect.

No more than one widget registration should be created for each distinct widget type.
