\title Using a Designer UI File in Your Application
- With Qt's integrated build tools, \l{qmake Manual}{qmake} and \l uic, the
- code for user interface components created with \QD is automatically
- generated when the rest of your application is built. Forms can be included
- and used directly from your application. Alternatively, you can use them to
- extend subclasses of standard widgets. These forms can be processed at
- compile time or at run time, depending on the approach used.
+ Qt Designer UI files represent the widget tree of the form in XML format. The

\section1 Compile Time Form Processing
+ You create user interface components with \QD and use Qt's integrated build tools,
+ \l{qmake Manual}{qmake} and \l{User Interface Compiler (uic)}{uic}, to generate code
+ for them when the application is built. The generated code contains the form's user
+ interface object. It is a C++ struct that contains:
+
+ \list
+ \o Pointers to the form's widgets, layouts, layout items,
+ button groups, and actions.
+ \o A member function called \c setupUi() to build the widget tree
+ on the parent widget.
+ \o A member function called \c retranslateUi() that handles the
+ translation of the string properties of the form. For more information,

forms, for example.
+ \section3 Using a Pointer Member Variable
+
+ Alternatively, the \c{Ui::CalculatorForm} structure can be made a pointer
+ member of the class. The header then looks as follows:
+
+ \code
+
+ namespace Ui {
+ class CalculatorForm;
+ }
+
+ class CalculatorForm : public QWidget
+ ...
+ virtual ~CalculatorForm();
+ ...
+ private:
+ Ui::CalculatorForm *ui;

+
+ The corresponding source file looks as follows:
+
+ \code

+ {
+ ui->setupUi(this);
+ }
+
+ CalculatorForm::~CalculatorForm()
+ {

+ }
+ \endcode
+
+ The advantage of this approach is that the user interface object can be
+ forward-declared, which means that we do not have to include the generated
+ \c ui_calculatorform.h file in the header. The form can then be changed without
+ recompiling the dependent source files. This is particularly important if the
+ class is subject to binary compatibility restrictions.

+ We generally recommend this approach for libraries and large applications.
