Is this intentional?

[digital_light]

so I made a new qt desktop project and noticed that the qt editor generated this in the loadscreen.h file
Why are we defining Ui::LoadScreen and ::LoadScreen? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of the namespace? Is it autogenerating a class that I don't have the defination of?

Hi and welcome to devnet,

That's because you asked for a new Designer based widget. This means that you also have a loadscreen.ui file that will be processed by the uic application. It will generate C++ code with a class stored in the Ui namespace based on the content of the .ui file.

For more information see:

• The Designer Manual
• The uic documentation

They are 2 separate classes.

• ::LoadScreen is your "actual" class where you write your code
• Ui::LoadScreen is a fully auto-generated class that's embedded inside ::LoadScreen.
