Description soldatov 2009-02-02 11:18:06 UTC 
Code Assistance works wrongly in new Qt form before ui_*.h file is created. I need to rebuild project in order to fix
this problem.

Scenario:
- Create 'Qt Application' project
- Create 'Main C++ file for Qt application'
- Create 'Qt Form' ('Create C++ wrapper class' check box is set as true, form type is set as 'Dialog with Buttons Bottom')
- Open newform.h file
==> IDE can't find "ui_newform.h" file
In order to generate this file I need to rebuild project.

I see 2 solutions:
- Generate ui_newform.h automatically
- Add "Generate source file" menu item for *.ui files
Comment 1 Alexey Vladykin 2009-02-04 16:00:59 UTC 
I prefer to have menu item. It allows to regenerate ui_newform.h at any time user desires, e.g. when newform.ui is modified.
Comment 2 Alexey Vladykin 2009-02-17 10:23:22 UTC 
After discussion with Stepan we came to the following solution:
- generate ui_newform.h automatically and silently whenever newform.ui is created or modified
- have option to disable this behavior in project properties
- on-demand regeneration of ui_newform.h is still possible with "Build" button
Comment 3 Alexey Vladykin 2010-01-11 01:59:55 UTC 
Will try to solve with the new project system.
