Wysota,

That does seem to produce a result that works for me, however it seems kind of inefficient in the long term because I want to disable all of the properties for the widgets I derive from for my custom plugin in designer and I need to create multiple plugins so I wanted a generic approach that I could inherit or something for every plugin I make (as opposed to having to manually redeclare and hide the specific properties for the Qt class I am inheriting from). I will play around with the subclassing/class factory method suggested in the Qt documentation and if I figure out an elegant generic solution I will post it here. If not, at least I know that your suggestion will work, it's just that it would be a little bit more time consuming.

I can't believe no one else creating plugins have ever wanted to do something like this. Oh well, thanks for you diligent help.
