If you use Qt Creator:

1. Add New- > Qt Design Form Class, Derive from QFrame for example. Name is for example MyFrame
2. Insert content
3. Open the main window in the designer
4. Add a QFrame
5. Right click in the main form: "Promoted Widgets". Add your MyFrame here. Derive from QFrame
6. Right click on the QFrame inside the main window: Promote to->MyFrame
