Cannot use 'Qt Designer' in 'Qt Creator' - icon greyed out in menu
-
Hello everyone,
I am taking over development of a small GUI that we have used in my group. It is written in python using PyQt4 , with the design/layout of the GUI coming from a .ui file. I am familiar with python but not with Qt widgets, so I my question might be rather naive.
To make some changes to the layout, I installed the Qt Creator suite as I had read that 'Qt Designer' had been incorporated into the Creator suite. I used the web based installer with default settings. I looked for at 'Qt Designer' option in the package selection but could not find it, so I assumed it was considered part of Qt Creator - see the screenshot: Screenshot
I can, however, not select the 'Design' tab in the menu - see screenshot 2: screenshot 2
Can anyone help me? What do I need to download/do in order to get Qt Design to work?
Cheers,
MartinMisc Information

Hi, welcome to devnet.
It's grayed out because you don't have any .ui file opened. Go to
File -> New File or Project
orFile -> Open File or Project
and either create new or open existing .ui file.
