+AUTOUIC
+-------
+
+Should the target be processed with autouic (for Qt projects).
+
+AUTOUIC is a boolean specifying whether CMake will handle
+the Qt uic code generator automatically, i.e. without having to use
+the QT4_WRAP_UI() or QT5_WRAP_UI() macro. Currently Qt4 and Qt5 are
+supported.
+
+When this property is set to TRUE, 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.
+This property is initialized by the value of the :variable:`CMAKE_AUTOUIC`
+variable if it is set when a target is created.
+
+Additional command line options for uic can be set via the
+:prop_sf:`AUTOUIC_OPTIONS` source file property on the foo.ui file.
+The global property :prop_gbl:`AUTOGEN_TARGETS_FOLDER` can be used to group the
+autouic targets together in an IDE, e.g. in MSVS.
