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 \c{.ui} file is needed. Applications that use the form handling classes need to be configured to be built against the QtUiTools module. This is done by including the following declaration in a \c qmake project file to ensure that the application is compiled and linked appropriately. \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qtuiloader.qdoc 0 A form loader object, provided by the QUiLoader 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 QUiLoader::load() function takes the user interface description contained in the file and constructs the form widget. To include the definitions of the module's classes, use the following directive: \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qtuiloader.qdoc 1 \note These classes are part of the \l{Open Source Versions of Qt} and \l{Qt Commercial Editions}{Qt Full Framework Edition} for commercial users. \sa{Calculator Builder Example}, {World Time Clock Builder Example} */
