How to create .ui file from hand written header and source files only.

[wysota]

I have a tool that is more or less able to do it but at a current state it would require your dialogs to use layouts which I doubt they do, if I correctly interpret what you say. Besides the tool is not free. I could probably do the translation for you but not for free.

I think I use layouts =)
Example1:

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent)
    : QMainWindow(parent), mdir("messages.txt")
{
 
    QTabWidget* tabw = new QTabWidget;
    QWidget* cpwidget = new QWidget;
    QVBoxLayout* playout = new QVBoxLayout;
    QGridLayout* pgrid = new QGridLayout;
 
    socket = new LHCPSocket;
    QWidget* cwidget = new QWidget;
    QVBoxLayout* toplayout = new QVBoxLayout;
    QGridLayout* grid = new QGridLayout;

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent)
    : QMainWindow(parent), mdir("messages.txt")
{

    QTabWidget* tabw = new QTabWidget;
    QWidget* cpwidget = new QWidget;
    QVBoxLayout* playout = new QVBoxLayout;
    QGridLayout* pgrid = new QGridLayout;

    socket = new LHCPSocket;
    QWidget* cwidget = new QWidget;
    QVBoxLayout* toplayout = new QVBoxLayout;
    QGridLayout* grid = new QGridLayout;

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Example2:

toplayout->addWidget(new ConnectBar(socket,mdir.getMsgInfo("SHUTDOWN_SERVER")));
    toplayout->addWidget(map);
    toplayout->addWidget(supportb);

toplayout->addWidget(new ConnectBar(socket,mdir.getMsgInfo("SHUTDOWN_SERVER")));
    toplayout->addWidget(map);
    toplayout->addWidget(supportb);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Due to copyright material I can't post more "explaining" code... but maby this helped you a bit?

Yeah, I should be able to do the translation although we might have a problem with those custom widgets of yours. It's not a show-stopper though. With a bit of manual editing it should be fine. Of course for example line #1 of your second snippet is not possible to be fully translated to ui. You'd need a default constructor for your ConnectBar widget. Note though I need to be able to run your application in order to do the translation.

I would love this, but unfortunately I am not allowed to share my code with anyone (I had to sign a lot of documents when I started working with this) so I guess I am on my own here, but thanks for trying to help.
