I would start with the gui designer and study the generated code. Apart 
from that you could have a look at the Qt books:
http://qt.nokia.com/developer/books/cpp-gui-programming-with-qt-4-2nd-edition
or http://cartan.cas.suffolk.edu/oopdocbook/opensource/
for example code.

I personaly only use self generated code if the gui depends on something 
- for example the number of available devices, or
if I create simple widgets I want to reuse very often.

Anyway I would create the ui the way QtCreator does it:

---- header: ----
namespace Ui
{
    class DialogABC;
}

class DialogABC : public QDialog
{
    Q_OBJECT
public:
...

private:
    Ui::DialogABC * ui;
};

---- cpp: ----
#include "DialogABC.h"
#include "ui_DialogABC.h"

DialogABC::DialogABC(QWidget* parent /*= 0*/, Qt::WFlags flags /*= 0*/)
    : QDialog(parent, flags)
    , ui(new Ui::DialogABC)
{   
    ui->setupUi(this);
...
}
