Creating a customizable gui

[TMan]

I didn't completely disregard your reply wysota

Anyway, it seems to me that having users use designer to create their gui's is not a very versatile solution, as it won't really allow runtime editing.

I'll do a quickie on the drag n drop thing to see whether it is a feasible solution Might post it here later as it might be helpful to others.

On the contrary. You don't have to compile anything to have a working widget, if that's what you're afraid of. Of course it all might be too complex for your needs.

I do know that. Let me explain.

The application will be some sort of hardware control/data acquisiton control center. So you'll have plots and stuff. Using designer, embedded or not, the user can't really change his gui and still have the plots updating.

Correct me if I'm wrong

You're wrong

[TMan]

That's not much of a correction :P

Anyway, there doesn't happen to be an example of designer integration? I couldn't find anything other than the calculatorbuilder example, which isn't of much help.

There is an analog clock plugin example in Qt. You can see that it's active (the time passes) in Designer. As for the integration, you need to take a look at the designer component docs and you might also have a look at Edyuk sourcecode. As far as I remember it embedds a Designer component.
