|
This small application makes it much easier to create
|
|
|
|
|
custom widget descriptions for the Qt Designer. Using
|
|
|
|
|
them you can use custom widgets in the Qt Designer
|
|
|
|
|
including their signals, slots and properties.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To do that normally you would have to enter all that
|
|
|
|
|
information in the custom widget dialog in the Qt
|
|
|
|
|
Designer for each widget. But this small tool can create
|
|
|
|
|
for you these description files for your custom widgets
|
|
|
|
|
which you then can simply import into the Qt Designer. So
|
|
|
|
|
you can use your custom widgets without any additional
|
|
|
|
|
work in your forms in the Qt Designer then.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To do that you have to modify the sourcecode (main.cpp) a
|
|
|
|
|
bit and recompile it afterwards.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
STEP1: Include header files of the widgets for which a
|
|
|
|
|
description should be created here. If you have a widget
|
|
|
|
|
which is defined in the file mycustomwidget.h in
|
|
|
|
|
/home/joedeveloper/src, write here
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#include "/home/joedeveloper/src/mycustomwidget.h"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
STEP2: Instantiate all widgets for which a description
|
|
|
|
|
should be created here and add them to the list wl. If
|
|
|
|
|
your custom widget is e.g. called MyCustomWidget you
|
|
|
|
|
would write here
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Widget w;
|
|
|
|
|
w.w = new MyCustomWidget( 0, 0 );
|
|
|
|
|
w.include = "mycustomwidget.h";
|
|
|
|
|
w.location = "global";
|
|
|
|
|
wl.append( w );
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After that compile the program, link it with your custom
|
|
|
|
|
widget (library or object file) and run it like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(unix): ./tqtcreatecw mywidgets.cw
|
|
|
|
|
(win32): tqtcreatecw mywidgets.cw
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After that you can import this description file into the
|
|
|
|
|
Qt Designer using the Custom\-Widget Dialog (See
|
|
|
|
|
Tools\->Custom\->Edit Custom Widgets... in the Qt Designer)
|
|
|
|
|
and use these custom widget there in your forms.
