    \brief Provides classes to handle forms created with Qt Designer.

    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
    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.

    \if !defined(qtforpython)
    \snippet quiloader/doc_src_qtuiloader.pro 0
    \endif

    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 quiloader/doc_src_qtuiloader.cpp 1
