    \class QFormBuilder
 
    \brief The QFormBuilder class is used to dynamically construct
    user interfaces from UI files at run-time.
 
    \inmodule QtDesigner
 
    The QFormBuilder class provides a mechanism for dynamically
    creating user interfaces at run-time, based on UI files
    created with \QD. For example:
 
    \snippet lib/tools_designer_src_lib_uilib_formbuilder.cpp 0
 
    By including the user interface in the example's resources (\c
    myForm.qrc), we ensure that it will be present when the example is
    run:
 
    \snippet lib/tools_designer_src_lib_uilib_formbuilder.cpp 1
 
    QFormBuilder extends the QAbstractFormBuilder base class with a
    number of functions that are used to support custom widget
    plugins:
 
    \list
    \li pluginPaths() returns the list of paths that the form builder
       searches when loading custom widget plugins.
    \li addPluginPath() allows additional paths to be registered with
       the form builder.
    \li setPluginPath() is used to replace the existing list of paths
       with a list obtained from some other source.
    \li clearPluginPaths() removes all paths registered with the form
       builder.
    \li customWidgets() returns a list of interfaces to plugins that
       can be used to create new instances of registered custom widgets.
    \endlist
 
    The QFormBuilder class is typically used by custom components and
    applications that embed \QD. Standalone applications that need to
    dynamically generate user interfaces at run-time use the
    QUiLoader class, found in the QtUiTools module.
