<h2 id="details">Detailed Description</h2>
<p>These forms are processed at run-time to produce dynamically-generated user interfaces. In order to generate a form at run-time, a resource file containing a UI file is needed. Applications that use the form handling classes need to be configured to be built against the <a href="qtuitools-module.html">QtUiTools</a> module. This is done by including the following declaration in a <code>qmake</code> project file to ensure that the application is compiled and linked appropriately.</p>
<pre class="cpp">
QT += uitools
</pre>
<p>A form loader object, provided by the <a href="quiloader.html">QUiLoader</a> class, is used to construct the user interface. This user interface can be retrieved from any QIODevice; for example, a QFile object can be used to obtain a form stored in a project's resources. The <a href="quiloader.html#load">QUiLoader::load</a>() function takes the user interface description contained in the file and constructs the form widget.</p>
<p>To include the definitions of the module's classes, use the following directive:</p>
<pre class="cpp">
<span class="preprocessor">#include <QtUiTools></span>
</pre>
