I have a moderately complex window (more than 50 QWidget- and QLayout-derived 
components). I have decided that it would be nice to have two versions: a 
vertical layout and a horizontal layout. But it's not just a matter of 
QVBoxLayout vs QHBoxLayout.

I have developed a new .ui file with the vertical layout and the appropriate 
rearrangement of the widgets. All the widgets are the same, with the same 
names. The QLayout-derived items are different, but my code doesn't need to 
access them.

It would be great if I could instantiate one or the other of these layouts at 
run-time and get back a pointer (or something?) that I could use instead of the 
usual ui-> pointer. The members that I need to reference all have the same 
names in the two .ui files. Seems like there should be a C++ template way to do 
this, but I'm not as clever with that kind of stuff as I might be.

Has anyone developed a solution to this? Or do I need to make a wrapper class 
that has an accessor function for each of the widgets? That would be a pain to 
implement, and a source of bugs in the future when I change the layouts.

Any ideas greatly appreciated.
