Detailed Description

The purpose of this interface is to allow a direct communication between a KPart and the hosting browser shell (for example Konqueror) .

A shell implementing this interface can propagate it to embedded kpart components by using the setBrowserInterface call of the part's KParts::BrowserExtension object.

This interface looks not very rich, but the main functionality is implemented using the callMethod method for part->shell communication and using Qt properties for allowing a part to to explicitly query information from the shell.

Konqueror in particular, as 'reference' implementation, provides the following functionality through this interface:

Qt properties: Q_PROPERTY( uint historyLength READ historyLength );

Callable methods: void goHistory( int );
