I am trying to convert a project I have been building with MSVC++ over
to using Qt Creator (the latest version appears to be quite impressive!)
But, I am having trouble getting a custom Widget plugin to appear in Qt.
Windows XP SP 3
I downloaded the Qt SDK 2010.01 and built it successfully, using minGW.
There are now two accessible designers, and they appear differently. The
designer I get to from the Start menu, Dev->QtSDK->tools->designer has
all the basic widgets plus the ones from the demos (Arthur, Display
Widgets (examples), Phonon, Qt3 Support, etc). The designer I get to
from within Creator, by Dbl-click on a .ui file does not have the added
Widgets, it stops at Display Widgets.
Is there a setting somewhere I am missing to get these Widgets to appear
in both Designers? The ultimate goal is to have my custom Widget in
Designer so I can plop it onto custom forms.
I have tried re-compliling examples and demos (they always compile, no
errors, and the dates and times of .dll files in the the
Qt/2010.01/Qt/plugins/designer folder update after the compile), but
those still do not appear in the Designer that is accessed through
Creator, even after closing and re-opening Creator.
The file structure looks as if the two Designer are looking in the same
plugins folder, so I do not see why the extra plugins dont appear.
