How to set name of custom widget in Qt designer?

ViRuSTriNiTy

Hello everybody,

i did not find any remarks in the docs about this issue. I added a custom widget to Qt designer by using QDesignerCustomWidgetInterface and returned the widget class name in the QDesignerCustomWidgetInterface::name() method. Now the designer displays the class name in the widget box. But i want a more readable widget name to be displayed like "My Button". How can i achieve this?

Thanks in advance.

Ok, figured it out today by having a look at the designer source code.

The designer converts the XML returned by

QDesignerCustomWidgetInterface::domXml()

into

QDesignerCustomWidgetData

by calling

QDesignerCustomWidgetData::parseXml()

The parseXml() method clearly states that one have to add the attribute displayname to the widget xml tag, for example:

@<ui language="c++" displayname="My Custom Widget">
<widget class="..." ...>
...
</widget>
</ui>@

So long
