When this property is ``ON``, CMake will scan the source files at build time
and invoke ``uic`` accordingly. If an ``#include`` statement like
-``#include "ui_foo.h"`` is found in ``foo.cpp``, a ``foo.ui`` file is
-expected next to ``foo.cpp``, and ``uic`` is run on the ``foo.ui`` file.
+``#include "ui_foo.h"`` is found in ``source.cpp``, a ``foo.ui`` file is
+searched for first in the vicinity of ``source.cpp`` and afterwards in the
+optional :prop_tgt:`AUTOUIC_SEARCH_PATHS` of the target.
+``uic`` is run on the ``foo.ui`` file to generate ``ui_foo.h`` in the directory
+``<CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR>/<TARGETNAME>_autogen/include``,
+which is added to the target's :prop_tgt:`INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES` automatically.
+
This property is initialized by the value of the :variable:`CMAKE_AUTOUIC`
variable if it is set when a target is created.
