Using QtDesigner highlighter in my own application

[elcuco]

I finally forked the code. The google code SVN now contains a small demo that loads definitions. Tested under Win7 and Linux, using Qt4.7. This should build on Qt4.2 and above, but I did not test it fully.

If you are on windows, the example will not load as expected. This is because QtCreator does not use the Kate highlighter for C++ files, and thus it does not contain cpp.xml. Just download the corresponding XML from the QtCreator GUI:
Tools->Options->Text Editor->Generic Highlighter->Download definitions.

The XML will be saved in %HOME%\AppData\Roaming\Nokia\qtcreator\generic-highlighter, the code currently does load files from that dir, so don't worry.

Check the SVN and send patches if you like this project.
