GUI Builder
Qt Designer is a powerful cross-platform GUI layout and forms builder. It allows you to rapidly design and build widgets and dialogs using on-screen forms using the same widgets that will be used in your application. Forms created with Qt Designer are fully-functional, and they can be previewed so that you can ensure that they will look and feel exactly as you intended.
Cross-Platform GUI Design Made Simple
Qt Designer makes it easy to visually design advanced user interfaces - at any time, you can generate the code required to reproduce and preview your interface, changing and adjusting your design as often as you like.
Qt Designer helps you build cross-platform user interfaces with layout
tools that move and scale your controls (widgets) automatically at
runtime, taking font sizes and language use into consideration. The
resulting interfaces are both functional and native-looking,
comfortably suiting your users' operating environments and preferences.

Integration with Eclipse and Visual Studio
Qt Designer has been designed to work as a powerful stand-alone tool, however users are now able to utilize the power of Qt Designer from within the IDE of their choice. Qt Designer integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Visual Studio and Eclipse - and in all cases, the user experience is based on the IDE, enabling developers to leverage and extend their existing skills.
Powerful Layout System Integration
Qt Designer incorporates Qt's powerful auto-scaling, font-aware layout system. Qt layouts enable developers to create dialogs that maintain an attractive, professional look and feel regardless of the display, font size, language, style or underlying platform chosen by the end user.
Native Preview Mode
Qt Designer not only lets you design your forms - it also allows you to preview them in different styles, ensuring that your layout and labels appear as intended when resizing.
Custom Controls Integration
Qt is extensible and customizable, allowing you to use custom controls as real widgets in Qt Designer. Custom controls can be written from scratch, or can be defined based on one or more standard Qt widgets.
Signals and Slots Integration
Qt Designer provides all the expected GUI tool functionality such as the ability to define dialogs and layouts, set tab order and edit control properties. In addition, you can also edit Qt's powerful Signals and Slots inter-object connections from Qt Designer.
