Hi and welcome to devnet,
Something is not clear: are you creating a full custom widget ? It seems so but since Qt provides the base classes to create your own custom views within the model view set of classes, it would be good to clarify that first.
@jdent said in In a dialog, how can i determine which widget I want to make the active one upon load?:
is there no equivalent in Qt Designer?
