Detailed Description
The QAbstractFormBuilder class provides a default implementation for classes that create user interfaces at run-time.
QAbstractFormBuilder provides a standard interface and a default implementation for constructing forms from user interface files. It is not intended to be instantiated directly. Use the QFormBuilder class to create user interfaces from .ui files at run-time.
To override certain aspects of the form builder's behavior, subclass QAbstractFormBuilder and reimplement the relevant virtual functions:
- load() handles reading of .ui format files from arbitrary QIODevices, and construction of widgets from the XML data they contain.
- save() handles saving of widget details in .ui format to arbitrary QIODevices.
- workingDirectory() and setWorkingDirectory() control the directory in which forms are held. The form builder looks for other resources on paths relative to this directory.
See also QFormBuilder.
