[Interest] Adding layouts to designer?

[Jason H]

Thanks Andreas, but what if I wanted to reject reality and substitute my own? What would my options be? For a hypothetical example, say I wanted to add a"FlowLayout"?

I'm thinking an inelegant but possibly functional solution would to be to create a FlowWidget which has the FlowLayout set by default. Would that work or not?

Now the plugin only works for those things which can return a QWidget*, but QLayouts are not based on QWidget. So how do I add my special layout to Designer?

Thats because you can't. Designer is not universally extendable as you'd
like it to be. It does not even support all kinds of qwidgets since it
has quite some special code for handling some of the standard Qt widgets
(QMainWindow, Q(Table|Tree|List)Widget, but others too IIRC).
