I created a widget in Qt designer. After generating .ui file , now I want to compile it in qt creator. The .ui file is opened but run, build, debug .etc button are not enabled. How can I run this in qt creator? Creating a project and pasting .ui file into the project directory doesn't work. Thanks.

The ui file must be added to the FORMS section of the .pro file.

FORMS+=yourfile.ui

The build step uses the /bin/uic command in the Qt directory (so you could conceivably do this manually from the command line outside of the IDE) to convert the .ui into a .h and a .cpp file (yourfile.ui becomes ui_yourfile.h).

this needs more info. any reference?
@greendino Sorry, I haven't used Qt since about this timeframe. It may have changed since version 3 or 4.
(This was for the C++ version which may be why the syntax and info doesn't fit in with what you're expecting)
