Using them you can use custom widgets +in Qt Designer including their signals, slots and properties. + +The usual way to do this is to enter all the information in the custom +widget dialog in Qt Designer for each widget. But this small tool can +create these description files for your custom widgets which you then +can simply import into Qt Designer. So you can use your custom widgets +without any additional work in your forms in Qt Designer. + +To do this you must modify the sourcecode (main.cpp) a bit and +recompile it afterwards. For further instructions how to use it see +the comments starting with STEP1 and STEP2 in main.cpp. + +Note that Qt Designer now supports widget plugins which are more +versatile and work just like built-in widgets, so you may prefer to +make your custom widgets into plugins. See the designer manual for +more information. |
