# BrowserInterface Class Reference

`from PyKDE4.kparts import *`

Inherits: QObject
Namespace: KParts

## 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 );

## Methods
| __init__ (self, QObject parent)
| callMethod (self, QString name, QVariant argument)

## Method Documentation

__init__ | ( | self, |
|  | QObject | parent
| ) |  |  |

callMethod | ( | self, |
|  | QString | name,
|  | QVariant | argument
| ) |  |  |

Perform a dynamic invocation of a method in the BrowserInterface implementation. Methods are to be implemented as simple Qt slots. You should only include the method name, and not the signature, in the name argument.
