[Qt-creator] Using Qt-creator to add widgets to the ui that arenot on the widget list

QSplitter is perfect for this but I can't find it in the widget list. I could add it to the setupUI finction in ui_project_name.h file but I suspect that it will get overwritten the next time I amend the GUI. I could add it to the project_name.cpp file but for the project I have in mind that would mean pretty much abandoning the UI designer (because the top level widget in my app would be a QSplitter)  which seems a pity.

Hello Philip, 
For QSplitter you can use splittered layout with this items inserted there.

Thanks Denis,

Following your suggestion I worked out that what you had to do was select more than one widget and the splitter buttons become active. I have a follow up question:

Is there a way of breaking only the current level of layout? I have several nested splitters and if I decide I want to add an extra level to one of the inner ones then, if I click "Break layout", it breaks all the layouts and I have to stitch the whole thing back together.

Thanks for the prompt reply to the previous message.

Phil
