Reverse engineering of ui-file

[wallyqt]

e.g.:
demo.h and demo.cpp is generated from a demo.ui file.

if you want to make changes to generated files, you either change
the ui and regenerate, or you start changing the files directly
and get rid of the ui entirely.

I wonder if this process is reversible.
( to create an ui-file from given cpp and h)

One might ask, why on the earth would you get rid of .ui files? Whenever you change an .ui file, the corresponding header is automatically re-generated thanks to makefile rules created by qmake. Very simple, isn't it? No handiwork needed at all.

thats exactly what you describe.

or:

and (get rid of the ui entirely)*.

* maybe for better understandeing:

... and you do not need the ui file anymore if you do not want so

But the question was:
Is a this process reversible ?
Can i make a ui-file from the former created and maybe
changed cpp and h files ?

Try searching Google for "UI Recovery Toolkit" (or "uirtk").

Can not find it anymore.

Can not find it anymore.

Maybe that means the process is irreversible?

wallyqt: If it was possible, it would only be for veeery simple widgets. If you have a complex widget with modifications to the uic generated code, forget about reversing the process. You should have never deleted the ui file... And you should have never changed the generated c++ files - it's even mentioned in the files themselves...
