[SOLVED] Add custom QWidget to designer without a separate project

[frankiefrank]

I saw the article about creating custom QWidgets to be used in the designer:
http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/designer-creating-custom-widgets.html

I'm already using a promoted QWidget placeholder which works fine for runtime, but I want to know if it's possible to have my QWidget subclass correctly shown in the designer. Meaning, if my QWidget has a grid layout with several lineEdits, I want to actually see that rather than an empty QWidget.

Also, I'd like to be able to do that without creating a separate project just for that QWidget.

Appreciate any advice!

Hi,

AFAIK, you need to make a plugin for designer to have that. You can however have that plugin as a subproject of your project so you don't have to create a whole new.

Hope it helps

Hmm I guess for the specific situation I have it's not worth it. But good to know.

Thank you!
