<p class="centerAlign"><img src="images/designer-form-settings.png" alt="" /></p><p>When saving a form in <i>Qt Designer</i>, it is stored as a UI file. Several form settings, for example the grid settings or the margin and spacing for the default layout, are stored along with the form's components. These settings are used when the <a href="uic.html#uic">uic</a> generates the form's C++ code. For more information on how to use forms in your application, see the <a href="designer-using-a-ui-file.html">Using a Designer UI File in Your Application</a> section.</p>
<a name="modifying-the-form-settings"></a>
<h2>Modifying the Form Settings</h2>
<p>To modify the form settings, open the <b>Form</b> menu and select <b>Form Settings...</b></p>
<p>In the forms settings dialog you can specify the <b>Author</b> of the form.</p>
<p>You can also alter the margin and spacing properties for the form's default layout (<b>Layout Default</b>). These default layout properties will be replaced by the corresponding <b>Layout Function</b>, if the function is specified, when <tt>uic</tt> generates code for the form. The form settings dialog lets you specify functions for both the margin and the spacing.</p>
<a name="layoutfunction"></a><table class="generic">
<tr valign="top" class="odd"><td ><img src="images/designer-form-layoutfunction.png" alt="" /></td><td ><b>Layout Function</b><p>The default layout properties will be replaced by the corresponding <b>Layout Function</b>, when <tt>uic</tt> generates code for the form. This is useful when different environments requires different layouts for the same form.</p>
<p>To specify layout functions for the form's margin and spacing, check the <b>Layout Function</b> group box to enable the line edits.</p>
</td></tr>
</table>
<p>You can also specify the form's <b>Include Hints</b>; i.e., provide a list of the header files which will then be included in the form window's associated UI file. Header files may be local, i.e., relative to the project's directory, <tt>"mywidget.h"</tt>, or global, i.e. part of Qt or the compilers standard libraries: <tt><QtGui/QWidget></tt>.</p>
<p>Finally, you can specify the function used to load pixmaps into the form window (the <b>Pixmap Function</b>).</p>
