+tqtcreatecw \- custom widget description creater for Qt Designer
+.SH "SYNTAX"

+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.LP
+This small application makes it much easier to create
+custom widget descriptions for the Qt Designer. Using
+them you can use custom widgets in the Qt Designer
+including their signals, slots and properties.
+
+To do that normally you would have to enter all that
+information in the custom widget dialog in the Qt
+Designer for each widget. But this small tool can create
+for you these description files for your custom widgets
+which you then can simply import into the Qt Designer. So
+you can use your custom widgets without any additional
+work in your forms in the Qt Designer then.
+
+To do that you have to modify the sourcecode (main.cpp) a
+bit and recompile it afterwards.
+
+STEP1: Include header files of the widgets for which a
+description should be created here. If you have a widget
+which is defined in the file mycustomwidget.h in
+/home/joedeveloper/src, write here
+
+#include "/home/joedeveloper/src/mycustomwidget.h"
+
+STEP2: Instantiate all widgets for which a description
+should be created here and add them to the list wl. If
+your custom widget is e.g. called MyCustomWidget you
+would write here
+
+ Widget w;
+ w.w = new MyCustomWidget( 0, 0 );
+ w.include = "mycustomwidget.h";
+ w.location = "global";
+ wl.append( w );
+
+After that compile the program, link it with your custom
+widget (library or object file) and run it like this:
+
+ (unix): ./tqtcreatecw mywidgets.cw
+ (win32): tqtcreatecw mywidgets.cw
+
+After that you can import this description file into the
+Qt Designer using the Custom\-Widget Dialog (See
+Tools\->Custom\->Edit Custom Widgets... in the Qt Designer)
+and use these custom widget there in your forms.
