[Qt-interest] Fwd: Custom widget promotion

[Benjamin]

Hi,

When you add a DockWidget to designer, it is already populated with a
widget, you just add yours inside the existing one and set the layout.
Pragmatically, you can add your custom widgets directly in the Dock,
but with Designer I don't think so.

regards,
Benjamin
