Custom widget -> write items to ui

Menic0

Hi together,

I've created a custom widget and want to write child items added via the QT Designer to the ui - file.
Just like the QListWidget writes its items added in the Designer to the ui - xml.

How do I do that?

Hi and welcome to Qt devnet
just read it carefully with the following link...it will tell you how to deal with Qt designer with your application.

hope it would help..:)

I'm afraid it doesn't (at least I couldn't find anything helpful in there).

If you look closely, you can edit the items a QListWidget contains initially.
My Widget can do this too.

BUT the QListWidget stores the changes you made in the QDesigner into the ui file (as properties i guess), but mine doesn't.

I could do it like mentioned in that thread. But that seems like a bit of a hack for my purposes.

My intention is, that the Q Designer creates the ui file on some point during a save action. And i want to take influence on the creation of the XML code of my custom widget.

The QListView writes elements created in the Q Designer into the ui file. Can I do this too with my custom widget??
