Problem with .ui file in Visual Studio 2005
Message 1 in thread
I have two .ui files that no longer show any widgets when I edit them
inside Visual Studio 2005. They are simply a blank canvas.
A few months ago, they looked fine and I could edit them.
They still show correctly when I click on the "Preview Form" button in
the Qt toolbar. Also, they still run correctly when I run the
application. When I use a text editor to look at the .ui file, all the
widgets are still in the file.
What's up?!! I'm baffled. Nothing has changed in my Qt installation,
my operating system (that I know of), or Visual Studio installation.
I'm happy to send the .ui file and associated file(s) if anyone wants to
take a look.
I'm using Qt 4.2.2
Windows XP Professional
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
Version 8.0.50727.42 (RTM.050727-4200)
Qt Visual Studio Integration (1.2.1)
Qt Integration for Visual Studio .NET

Do they display correctly if you open them in Designer directly,
instead of inside Visual Studio?

Andrew,
Yes, they display perfectly in Designer.
So, it seems that the Visual Studio integration may be the problem?

thats a known bug in the visual studio integration (which should be
fixed for 4.3.0 if i remember correctly, didnt try it yet).
the workaround is to close all other windows before opening your .ui
file in Visual Studio.
Cheers,
Peter

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the note.
Yes, indeed, closing all other windows does "fix" the problem. That is
good enough for now....
I look forward to trying 4.3 and getting the true fix.
Thanks again!
