Designer plugin - creating a container widget

[yop]

Hi everybody,
has anyone created a container widget in a designer plugin? I mean creating a plugin that when overiding the QWidgetPlugin::isContainer() returns true? I have created a widget that just inherits QDialog and nothing else, the plugin gets integrated nicely but the resulting widget is not editable from the designer. All the custom widgets, that are not container widgets, I have plugged into designer are working nicely.

I just posted a similar question. My container widget does allow me to drop controls
onto it so I have that much. It does not appreciate an attempt to place those controls
into a layout though...

I can see that you are with Qt 4 having the same problem so we must be doing something wrong. But I can't see what this is...

Don't make widgets that inherit QDialog. What's the point of doing that anyway? Have you tried inheriting QWidget instead?

Hard to say anything without seeing your code...

Yeap, QWidget worked . In the doc examples the one available for custom container widgets does inherit from QDialog. Anyway I don't really care QWidget is enough for my plugin.
