[Qt-interest] Problem with MFC to Qt migration using qt-vs-addin-1.0.2 in VisualStudio2005

[Vanbrabant Martin]

Hello,

I am using Qt 4.5.2, open source version, configured and built from the source distribution for platform win32-msvc2005.
I develop using VisualStudio2005, and have the Visual Studio add-in (qt-vs-addin-1.0.2) installed.
Making new Qt applications work fine.

Now I have to gradually migrate a (huge!) MFC application to Qt.
I am using qt-winmigrate-opensource-2-8 for that purpose.

I can reconstruct (using qmake -tp vc) .vcproj files for all steps found in the help:
http://doc.trolltech.com/solutions/4/qtwinmigrate/winmigrate-walkthrough.html .

Next thing to do is to repeat these steps in my own MFC application.
When I am at the paragraph "A new Qt Dialog" in above walkthrough, I read:
"To add a new dialog we use the Visual Studio integration toolbar's "New Qt Dialog" button. We add a Qt Designer .ui file "optionsdialog.ui" to the current project, and add the required build steps to generate a C++ class from that file."

Now here is the problem: the Visual Studio add-in does not provide this toolbar to VisualStudio2005.

As a workaround, in the solution explorer, I tried the context sensitive menu Add.../New Item.../Qt Forms/Qt Dialog Form, which resulted in a new .ui file.
I could edit the .ui file with Qt Designer, but when I built the project, the .ui file was not processed (I did not get any moc_*.cpp, ui_*.h files).
Also, I could not change my project properties (the "Qt Project Settings" menu item is grayed out for this project, unlike for self- created Qt applications).

Any idea how to continue here?

Thanks.
