Hi Kiran

 

You can use the QEGui application, which is part of your EPICSQt package, to open .ui files.

 

$ qegui yourGUI.ui

 

As well as presenting GUIs QEGui also provides tools including strip chart, PV inspection, PV scratch pad, message logging, archiver status, PV name search, configuration save and restore and user levels out of the box.

If you want you can also customise its meu bars and tool bars to focus on the application you are developing.

 

QE_QEGuiAndUserInterfaceDesign.pdf contains the user documentation for QEGui, and the QEFramework widgets. It is in the ‘Documentation’ directory of your package or at http://sourceforge.net/projects/epicsqt/files/documentation/

 

QEGui also integrates with Qt designer allowing GUIs to be modified on the fly if required.

 

This is by far the quickest way to get going, and is likely to be all you need, but you can also use the .ui file as a source file within your own home grown Qt based application. The QE widgets will look after themselves, but many of the mechanisms available in QEGui like message logging and save and restore are public and can be used in your own application to add support for QEWidgets.

 

Regards

Andrew
