Yes C++, just forgot to type that.

I have yet to find a simple explanation in assistant about this.

So you make your gui with designer and it makes a ui file.
You then make a .pro file and tell it to include the .ui file
next call gmake??

For the moment lets say you are not doing anything to mod the gui.

Sorry about being a dunce but I am having a hard time moving to C++
after python. It has been years since I wrote in C++.
A very simple process that shows taking a design ui to a finished
product without anything being added would be very helpful; including
the resources file too.

Thanks lots,
