QtDesigner has the feature to add custom signal/slot entries to the 
signal/slot list of the toplevel widget. (See the the '+' and '-' 
buttons in the signal/slot selection dialog). That makes it possible to 
use the signal/slot connection editor with custom signals or slots. 
However, the the developer still has to insert the slot manually to the 
.cpp and .h of the dialog. I believe that this would already be enough 
for You to use only a 'addContact()' slot.

However, *drumroll* :) QtCreator has a (imho very nice but unknown) 
feature called "Goto slot". On right click on any (child) widget; it 
will let You select a signal and create an auto-connect-slot 
('on_foo_bar') in the top level widget code, .h and .cpp.

Alessandro.
