Dynamically Loading a QMainWindow?

[natron]

Hey, thanks you two for your help. I got it working so far.

I realized my blunder - I basically had the right code, just in the wrong place.

My main now loads the .ui file, followed by

MainForm mfMain;
mfMain.setCentralWidget(formWidget);

MainForm mfMain;
mfMain.setCentralWidget(formWidget);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

where the ctor for MainForm goes like so

MainForm::MainForm(QWidget *parent) : QMainWindow(parent) 
{
   //...
}

MainForm::MainForm(QWidget *parent) : QMainWindow(parent) 
{
   //...
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

This makes a lot of sense too; it works like wysota's post above.

Any idea why Gtk's (using Glade) method of interface design explicitly promotes dynamic interface loading, while in Qt land the paradigm focuses on the static method? I can see advantages and restrictions in both, but neither seems clearly better.

Maybe because Qt is better?

Qt is object oriented and focuses on using classes, also for things like the GUI, whereas Gtk is not object oriented and doesn't care about classes, so it doesn't matter where it creates its bunch of variables responsible for controlling the user interface. Of course that's my personal opinion
