+ \title Multiple Inheritance Example
+
+ The Multiple Inheritance Example shows how to use a form created with \QD
+ in an application by subclassing both QWidget and the user interface
+ class, which is \c{Ui::CalculatorForm}.
+
+ \image multipleinheritance-example.png
+
+ To subclass the \c calculatorform.ui file and ensure that \c qmake
+ processes it with the \c uic, we have to include \c calculatorform.ui
+ in the \c .pro file, as shown below:
+
+ \snippet examples/uitools/multipleinheritance/multipleinheritance.pro 0
+
+ When the project is compiled, the \c uic will generate a corresponding
+ \c ui_calculatorform.h.
+
+ \section1 CalculatorForm Definition
+
+ In the \c CalculatorForm definition, we include the \c ui_calculatorform.h
+ that was generated earlier.
+
+ \snippet examples/uitools/multipleinheritance/calculatorform.h 0
+
+ As mentioned earlier, the class is a subclass of both QWidget and
+ \c{Ui::CalculatorForm}.
+
+ \snippet examples/uitools/multipleinheritance/calculatorform.h 1
+
+ Two slots are defined according to the \l{Automatic Connections}
+ {automatic connection} naming convention required by \c uic. This is
+ to ensure that \l{QMetaObject}'s auto-connection facilities connect
+ all the signals and slots involved automatically.
+
+ \section1 CalculatorForm Implementation
+
+ In the constructor, we call \c setupUi() to load the user interface file.
+ Note that we do not need the \c{ui} prefix as \c CalculatorForm is a
+ subclass of the user interface class.
+
+ \snippet examples/uitools/multipleinheritance/calculatorform.cpp 0
+
+ We include two slots, \c{on_inputSpinBox1_valueChanged()} and
+ \c{on_inputSpinBox2_valueChanged()}. These slots respond to the
+ \l{QSpinBox::valueChanged()}{valueChanged()} signal that both spin boxes
+ emit. Whenever there is a change in one spin box's value, we take that
+ value and add it to whatever value the other spin box has.
+
+ \snippet examples/uitools/multipleinheritance/calculatorform.cpp 1
+ \codeline
+ \snippet examples/uitools/multipleinheritance/calculatorform.cpp 2
+
+ \section1 \c main() Function
+
+ The \c main() function instantiates QApplication and \c CalculatorForm.
+ The \c calculator object is displayed by invoking the \l{QWidget::show()}
+ {show()} function.
+
+ \snippet examples/uitools/multipleinheritance/main.cpp 0
+
+ There are various approaches to include forms into applications. The
+ Multiple Inheritance approach is just one of them. See
+ \l{Using a Designer UI File in Your Application} for more information on
+ the other approaches available.
