Promoting to custom widget

**cia.michele** · 25th September 2010, 14:06

GoodAfternoon to everybody,
I'm a newbie with QT and I try to create my custom widget and promote an other to it in designer, so I should be able to use my widget in designer without plugin.
I can use my widget very well but... only this!! If I create a layout with the base widget with other ones, when I run (and promote widget to my widget) my widget is the only widget of the windows!!!
I forgot something about the promotion politics? I create this by QT 2010.04 on Windows XP.

Thansk for your time.

Michele

What exactly does not work for you? What error do you get?

Hi,
so you have already done?:
A Container "QWidget myplaceholder" in your e.g. mainwindow.ui, which you had promoted to CYourNewClass?
Maybe you have missplaced or miss-set some setMainWidget( .. ) which will be shown over all other widgets?

in case: remove: setMainWidget( CYourNewClass-instance )
