Problem understanding Custom Widget creation

**baluk** · 16th July 2010, 10:22

Hi,

I am newbie to QT Creator. Currently i am trying to accomplish a small application, in which a custom widget is needed. So, i then started looking into tutorials making custom widgets. Now what i don't understand is when i open the newproject with Custom Widget option i don't see any .Ui file where i can make my widget using various designer widgets.

I have seen the Qt Custom widget example projects in which I see all the files like .h, .cpp, .pro except .Ui. Please guide me in this. ANy help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Baluk

In that example the widget is created in the code -- i.e. the code necessary is not automagically generated by Creator.

Thank you for the reply. Yes, i understood that the widget is written in code. But, how can I make the custom widget by drag and droping widgets from Qt desginer because i don't see a .Ui file if I open a custom widget project in Qt creator.

Thank you,

Baluk

just in your project add a new Qt Designer Form and choose the widget template, this will make a .ui file that you can edit with the designer by drag-drop widgets
