[Qt-interest] Can a Qt-Designer template form promoted to a custom class ?

Promoting top-level widgets is not possible in Qt Designer as there is no gain 
from it, passing the base class suffices for the setupUI() function.
However, you can add Signal&Slot definitions to the main form by choosing
"Change signals/slots" from  the context menu.
