User Interface Compiler (uic)▲
This page documents the User Interface Compiler for the Qt Widgets module. The uic reads an XML format user interface definition (.ui) file as generated by Qt Designer and creates a corresponding C++ header file.
Usage:
uic [options] &

Examples▲
If you use qmake, uic will be invoked automatically for header files.
Here are useful makefile rules if you only use GNU make:
ui_%
.h: %
.ui
uic $&
lt; -
o $@
If you want to write portably, you can use individual rules of the following form:
ui_foo.h: foo.ui
uic $&
lt; -
o $@
You must also remember to add ui_foo.h to your HEADERS (substitute your favorite name).
