Hi,

It depends on the way you use your ui file in your cpp.

Read this for more informations : 
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/designer-using-a-ui-file.html

Folowing these examples, if you use the direct approach, you might use
ui.mylabel.setText(…) if you called one label "my label" in the designer.

You might do the same in your class body if you use the single inheritance 
approach.

And then, you will use mylabel.setText(…) directly in your class body if you 
use the multiple inheritance approach.

If you have some doubts about how to use a ui generated form, parse it using 
uic and read its output.
