\brief The QtUiTools module provides classes to handle forms created
54
These forms are processed at run-time to produce dynamically-generated
55
user interfaces. In order to generate a form at run-time, a resource
56
file containing a \c{.ui} file is needed. Applications that use the
57
form handling classes need to be configured to be built against the
58
QtUiTools module. This is done by including the following declaration
59
in a \c qmake project file to ensure that the application is compiled
60
and linked appropriately.

64
A form loader object, provided by the QUiLoader class, is used to
65
construct the user interface. This user interface can
66
be retrieved from any QIODevice; for example, a QFile object can be
67
used to obtain a form stored in a project's resources. The
68
QUiLoader::load() function takes the user interface description
69
contained in the file and constructs the form widget.
