[Qt-interest] Re : Using more than one .ui files in a project

[jaff at student.dei.uc.pt]

Hi all,

Thanks for all your answers and tips, both Yogesh and John. I was going 
towards the direction you both pointed out, but somehow something was 
going wrong. Now it's working :]

John, I only deleted the files because I felt the code was starting to 
look more like patchwork then proper, decente code, since I was trying 
and changing things to get it working, I still don't know what was 
missing... I know it's not a good habit to do that in a regular basis ;]

So, thanks again! []
