Qt Creator - how to open the property editor

whenever I opened a cpp file I can only see the editor, I can't see the property edior.

When I tried to see it by going through

Tools->Form Edit开发者_如何学Cor->views

Every thing is disabled. So I cant click anything there.

Can anybody suggest a solution?

Try openning a ui file or creating a "Qt Designer Form" and it should be enabled there, it's the one in the lower right corner.

The property editor is part of the Qt Designer, which is a WYSIWYG tool (integrated with Qt Creator) for creating user interfaces. It's a two columns table that lets you edit in a quick and easy way the properties of the Qt widgets like: the text that shows, geometry or tooltip. This properties depends on the selected widget.

This answer is based on the assumption that you tried to use the Qt Creator with the wrong type of file. If you still don't see the property editor when working with a Designer form (ui file) then your Qt Creator installation is having a problem and I don't know what to do then :S.
