Using PyQT with QT Designer

[Michael Staggs]

I tried that this morning and it destroyed my form. So, right now, that's
probably not what I'm looking for.

But, if you look at that picture, the app isn't resized to 800x600 like it
says in the ui file. The pixmaps aren't on the buttons like I set them up
in the ui file. It's not using the ui file at all. So, what's the point of
making a QT Designer file at all if it doesn't use it?

I'm guessing it CAN use it and there is just something I'm missing.

You may be right and I may not want to set the geometry in qt designer down
the road. But, right now I do and not only is it not getting that from the
ui file....it's not getting anything at all...even though I added all the
lines I thought I needed to.

If I decide to actually change the gui later, I'd like to be able to use QT
Designer to do so...design a layout and not really have to change my
program. As it stands, it's totally ignoring my ui file and I have to redo
all the work in the program. In which case, there's no point to using qt
designer at all.

I know I have to be missing something though.... there has to be a way to
use the work qt designer did.

Thanks
