Hi Alex,

This can be achieved by using the class promotion functionality of Qt 
Designer. The widget context menu contains an entry  "Promote to". This pops 
up a dialog in which you can add class name and include file of the custom 
widget. The widget will then be "promoted" to the custom class, that is, it 
acts as a placeholder for the custom widget in Designer. uic will compile in 
the custom widget.

I hope this helps,

Friedemann
