AUTOUIC ------- Should the target be processed with auto-uic (for Qt projects). :prop_tgt:`AUTOUIC` is a boolean specifying whether CMake will handle the Qt ``uic`` code generator automatically, i.e. without having to use the :module:`QT4_WRAP_UI() <FindQt4>` or ``QT5_WRAP_UI()`` macro. Currently Qt4 and Qt5 are supported. This property is initialized by the value of the :variable:`CMAKE_AUTOUIC` variable if it is set when a target is created. When this property is ``ON``, CMake will scan the header and source files at build time and invoke ``uic`` accordingly. Header and source file processing ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ At build time, CMake scans each header and source file from the target's sources for include statements of the form .. code-block:: c++ #include "ui_<ui_base>.h" Once such an include statement is found in a file, CMake searches for the ``uic`` input file ``<ui_base>.ui`` - in the vicinity of the file and - in the :prop_tgt:`AUTOUIC_SEARCH_PATHS` of the target. If the ``<ui_base>.ui`` file was found, ``uic`` is called on it to generate ``ui_<ui_base>.h`` in the directory - ``<AUTOGEN_BUILD_DIR>/include`` for single configuration generators or in - ``<AUTOGEN_BUILD_DIR>/include_<CONFIG>`` for :prop_gbl:`multi configuration <GENERATOR_IS_MULTI_CONFIG>` generators. Where ``<AUTOGEN_BUILD_DIR>`` is the value of the target property :prop_tgt:`AUTOGEN_BUILD_DIR`. The include directory is automatically added to the target's :prop_tgt:`INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES`. Modifiers ^^^^^^^^^ :prop_tgt:`AUTOUIC_EXECUTABLE`: The ``uic`` executable will be detected automatically, but can be forced to a certain binary using this target property. :prop_sf:`AUTOUIC_OPTIONS`: Additional command line options for ``uic`` can be set via this source file property on a ``<base_name>.ui`` file. :prop_sf:`SKIP_AUTOUIC`: Source files can be excluded from :prop_tgt:`AUTOUIC` processing by setting this source file property. :prop_sf:`SKIP_AUTOGEN`: Source files can be excluded from :prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC`, :prop_tgt:`AUTOUIC` and :prop_tgt:`AUTORCC` processing by setting this source file property. :prop_gbl:`AUTOGEN_TARGETS_FOLDER`: This global property can be used to group :prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC`, :prop_tgt:`AUTOUIC` and :prop_tgt:`AUTORCC` targets together in an IDE, e.g. in MSVS. :variable:`CMAKE_GLOBAL_AUTOGEN_TARGET`: A global ``autogen`` target, that depends on all :prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC` or :prop_tgt:`AUTOUIC` generated ``<ORIGIN>_autogen`` targets in the project, will be generated when this variable is ``ON``. :prop_tgt:`AUTOGEN_PARALLEL`: This target property controls the number of ``moc`` or ``uic`` processes to start in parallel during builds. See the :manual:`cmake-qt(7)` manual for more information on using CMake with Qt.
