Hi everyone,
This is the first time i use the promotion functionality in QtDesigner. I designed the main window in QtDesigner, and reserved the right side of it for a custom subclass of QWidget. I tested this custom subclass of QWidget by show it from the main, everything was fine.
After promoting a QWidget to this custom subclass in QtDesigner, the custom widget doesn't show at launch time. Any clue why this could happen?

How did you test from main? Does the main (parent) widget show up?

Hi!
Thks for your reply!
I tested from main by constructing the custom widget and showing it directly from main.cpp, bypassing the parent widget (MainWindow).
Instead, what i would like to do is to construct my MainWindow from main.cpp and then MainWindow takes charge of the custom widget, not mentionned in main.cpp. But when i do like this, only the parent widget shows up (MainWindow), and the custom widget doesn't appear in MainWindow.
I didn't solve it yet, so any hints more welcome than welcome!

make sure you embedded your custom widget into a layout (in designer)

And did you call QMainWindow::setCentralWidget() with a pointer to your custom widget instance?

Hi!
First thks guys for your hints.
1) Unfortunately my main window already has a layout. See the screen capture attached from QtDesigner. I don't see any errors here, otherwise you can tell me.

2) Also, MainWindow->setCentralWidget(centralWidget); is done from the automatically generated ui_mainwindow.h. Central Widget is shown on the screen at execution time, but only part of it is not shown (last line of the top right corner of the screenshot : widget, which was promoted as SampleWidget from QWidget).
i hope to find the solution to this mystery to me!

Hi everyone!
I figured out my mistake : the custom widget, in its own .ui file, had a broken layout icon. I chose a layout for it, and now the widget shows up in main window.
Thank you for your help!
