The resource file contains + an entry for the particular form that we wish to use: + + \quotefile examples/designer/worldtimeclockbuilder/worldtimeclockbuilder.qrc + + Forms do not need to be included with the application in this way. We only + include a form in the application's resources for convenience, and to keep + the example short. + + \section1 Loading and Building the Form + + Since this example only loads and displays a pre-prepared form, all of the + work can be done in the main() function. We are using a class from the + QtUiTools library so, in addition to any other Qt classes that are normally + required to write an application, we must include the appropriate header + file: + + \snippet examples/designer/worldtimeclockbuilder/main.cpp 0 + + The main function initializes the resource system with the Q_INIT_RESOURCE() + macro and constructs an QApplication instance in the usual way: + + \snippet examples/designer/worldtimeclockbuilder/main.cpp 1 + + We construct a QUiLoader object to handle the form we want to use. + + The form itself is obtained from the resource file system using the path + defined in the resource file. We use the form loader to load and construct + the form: + + \snippet examples/designer/worldtimeclockbuilder/main.cpp 2 + + Once the form has been loaded, the resource file can be closed and the + widget is shown. + + \snippet examples/designer/worldtimeclockbuilder/main.cpp 3 + + The form loader ensures that all the signal and slot connections between + objects in the form are set up correctly when the form is loaded. As a + result, the time is updated by the World Time Clock widget, and the time + zone spin box can be used to change the position of the hour hand. +*/
