Reference generated ui_ header from different subproject

AlexanderB

Hi all,

I have a setup in which I have some custom (promoted) widgets. I started with the widgets in the same subproject as where they are used, but to be able to reuse them, I have now moved them to an own subproject.
To be able to set some specific things oir on or connect to widgets on the custom widget, I use a reference similar to:

ui->customWidget->ui->widget

But after the move, the generated ui_customwidget.h is not found anymore when building. Even though in QT Creator it all seems to be fine.
How can I include the generated ui_*.h files into a different subproject? Or is this the wrong way to go, and should I add wrapper methods to the customwidget.h/cpp?

TiA!

It's not directly possible and would somehow contradict the whole class encapsulation - you have to add a setter to the class which uses the ui-file.

Thanks for the quick reply! I'll add the wrapper methods for the parts that I need.
