uic not creating seperate .h and .cpp files

[Kapil]

Hi,

For long i am trying to create seperate '.h' and '.cpp' files for the respective '.ui' files but it is not creating it..

I have consulted lot many documents on uic and it is just able to create the .h file for the corresponding .ui file using the following command

uic filename.ui -o ui_filename.h

but when i try to give

uic filename.ui -i filename.h -o filename.cpp

it gives error saying that -i option not found and does not create the corresponding .cpp file..

Please tell me how to create the seperate .h and .cpp files for a .ui file.

(OS used is Windows 2000 and QT is 4.1 opensource with MinGW)

Thanking you

Kapil

Let's take a look at docs:

uic Output
In Qt 3, uic generated a header file and an implementation for a class, which inherited from one of Qt's widgets. To use the form, the programmer included the generated sources into the application and created an instance of the class.
In Qt 4, uic creates a header file containing a POD class. The name of this class is the object name of the main container, qualified with the Ui namespace (e.g., Ui::MyForm). The class is implemented using inline functions, removing the need of a separate .cpp file. Just as in Qt 3, this class contains pointers to all the widgets inside the form as public members. In addition, the generated class provides the public method setupUi().

I think you are definitely reading the docs for Qt3 and not Qt4. I just installed it this weekend, so trust me, it's weird getting used to the changes and the Qt3 reference won't really help you. Anyway, why do you need to make these yourself? My makefiles always generate the ui_formname.h automatically at build-time. I just have to remember to include them correctly in main.cpp
