11.6. Generating Files

After creating a widget, you have to generate the sourcecode to make it available in your project. This can be done either with the "Generate Sources" from the "Build"-menu or by the according icon in the dialogeditor toolbar. Your Makefiles will be updated automatically to include the new widget in the compiling process; therefore, after calling "Generate Sources", you can build your project again within the dialogeditor. The output window pops up below the Widget-Editor window as in Project Editor mode.

Now that your project contains a new widget, your work as a programmer is to implement functionality to the used slots and eventually add other methods you may need.

For more information about implementation of the widgets functions, see The KDevelop Programming Handbook.
