At least in the last 6 years since I started using Qt, plugins must be
compiled against the same compiler that Designer/Creator were compiled
against or they won't show up. That means the same version of Visual
Studio (2008, 2010, 2012). I think Designer/Creator in the packages are
compiled against VS 2010. The Creator/Designer compiled against mingw
obviously won't show VS compiled plugins.

Hi
I have read this but cannot get it to work (I am using Qt5.1.1 with
Visual Studio
I have a library called Widgets.dll that contains 1 class declared as
#include <QLabel>
#include "widgets_global.h"
class WIDGETS_EXPORT MyLabel : public QLabel
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
MyLabel(QWidget *parent);
~MyLabel();
private:
};
I have set up my plugin project so that it can see the header file for
MyLabel and can see the Widgets.lib
The plugin project builds without error but is not visible in Designer
Can anyone see the reason for this?
Thanks

Yes it is technically possible to make the widgets accessible to Qt
Designer without linking /widgets dll/ against /QtDesigner4.dll/. Some
possible approaches are described here:
http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/designer-creating-custom-widgets.html
(see the section "Splitting up the Plugin").

Hi
I have developed a number of Qt Designer plugins and can use them in
my applications.
But obviously I need my apps to link against the plugin library which
means when I deploy the application I need to deploy the plugin
library as well.
What I would like is for widget classes to be compiled into one
library that both the application and the designer plugin can use but
I have been unable to achieve this.
Is this possible?
