How to "make a copy of QDesigner form"

Anonymous_Banned275

I do not like to reinvent the wheel...

I like to
duplicate submenu "action" - Configure _Extended.

reuse the original submenu dialog code and make a copy / duplicate of the original dialog form

I can easy make copies of files, but I like to learn how to do this by changing function parameters ,. constructor etc,

Is there a sample / guide to follow ?
At least conceptually .

I have few issues
The original subemu processing - C++ code and form - was not build using QTDesigner , hence I cannot just use "go to slot " option to debug (trace / copy) the original code and also to add the new submeny.

I was hoping I can modify this original code

#include "ui_mainwindow_Serial.h"
#include "console.h"
#include "settingsdialog.h"

#include <QLabel>
#include <QMessageBox>

//! [0]
MainWindow_Serial::MainWindow_Serial(QWidget *parent) :
    QMainWindow(parent),
    m_ui(new Ui::MainWindow_Serial),
    m_status(new QLabel),
    m_console(new Console),
    m_settings(new SettingsDialog),
//! [1]
    m_serial(new QSerialPort(this))

something like

#include "ui_mainwindow_Serial_Extended .h"
#include "console.h"
#include "settingsdialog_Ext.h"

#include <QLabel>
#include <QMessageBox>

//! [0]
MainWindow_Serial::MainWindow_Serial(QWidget *parent) :
    QMainWindow(parent),
    m_ui(new Ui::MainWindow_Serial),
    m_status(new QLabel),
    m_console(new Console),
    m_settings(new SettingsDialog_Extended ),
//! [1]
    m_serial(new QSerialPort(this))

I can mange to duplicate the original form, but I could use help to duplicate / modify exiting dialog. I understand I just cannot copy the cpp/h files in QT / C++.

Copy the class (cpp, h and ui) and add the changes you want to.
