Function

EDataServerSourceCamelgenerate_subtype

since: 3.6

Declaration [src]

GType
e_source_camel_generate_subtype (
  const gchar* protocol,
  GType settings_type
)

Description [src]

Generates a custom ESourceCamel subtype for protocol. Instances of the new subtype will contain a CamelSettings instance of type settings_type.

This function is called as part of e_source_camel_register_types() and should not be called explicitly, except by some groupware packages that need to share package-specific settings across their mail, calendar and address book components. In that case the groupware package may choose to subclass CamelSettings rather than ESourceExtension since libcamel is the lowest common denominator across all components. This function provides a way for the calendar and address book components of such a package to generate an ESourceCamel subtype for its CamelSettings subtype without having to load all available CamelProvider modules.

Available since: 3.6
