QtitanMultimedia for MacOS (source code)

Version: 2.x

The Qtitan Multimedia library adds various multimedia technologies, such as Adobe Flash, Adobe Reader and Microsoft Silverlight,

to applications designed using Qt framework. Qtitan Multimedia integrates with the Qt Designer form designer,

simplifying the addition of new objects and speeding up the design process. Qtitan Multimedia is just what programmers need to

create applications with big possibilities for multimedia.

The heart of the Qtitan Multimedia library is a class container inherited from the QWidget class. This class container is

capable of displaying Netscape-compatible plug-ins that support the NPAPI architecture. The container supports

both plug-ins that require a separate operating system window and plug-ins that are displayed in the Qt window.

This allows combining content drawn by Qt with content drawn by plug-ins. The container interacts with the Qt Script

Engine, allowing the plug-in to make proper use of JavaScript and programmers to take advantage of all plug-in

properties, including those that require JavaScript. Interaction between Qtitan Multimedia and applications is done through

the signal/slot mechanism, the fundamental mechanism for connecting objects in Qt.

  The library's functionality is expanded by classes which make the properties and methods of specific NPAPI plug-ins

accessible. One example is the class Qtitan::AdobeFlash, which has the properties Transparent and Loop, implemented

by the Adobe Flash plug-in. The class acts like an end component and can be used by the programmer for integration

with applications in Adobe Flash. Besides Adobe Flash, the current version of the library supports work with

Microsoft Silverlight and Adobe Reader in a similar manner.

Qtitan Multimedia library components can be added during design-time mode or directly during runtime mode. In the first case,

design is done through Qt Designer, with the help of which most of the properties of the integrated components are

displayed and configured. During runtime, components are created and placed on a form like any other object whose classes have been inherited from QWidget.

Additionally, the library does not require an embedded browser such as WebKit or Internet Explorer, since the library

is itself a mini-browser for the plug-in. The Qtitan Multimedia library includes all of the necessary mechanisms for launching

plug-ins created using the Netscape Plug-in API, which allows substantial savings in application resources.
