I am trying to implement an app. which provide a tool box having a number of widgets like buttons, labels and text boxs and user can drag them to a frame to create a GUI form. Any ideas how i should tackle this requirment?
Thanks in advance!

Why not embed Qt Designer? That's what QtCreator does...

[arafkhashand]

This is a very good idea! Please guide me how i can do that.... I would be really thankful!

[andre]

Did you try looking into how Qt Creator does it? All the sources are there...

Obviously, a task like this is not trivial. But building a form designer from scratch also isn't trivial.

The "source code":https://qt.gitorious.org/qt-creator/qt-creator/source/0a5186700c036a541f5fa0baebb5e9ce0d506fed:src/plugins/designer for the creator plugin would be the place to start, I think.

Hi Sir, I have got the GUI portion covered. The issue i am having is to writing the xml file as WDDX packet xml format and reading it back in Qt Designer. Could you please suggest something?
