<p>Although <i>Qt Designer</i>'s forms are accurate representations of the components being edited, it is useful to preview the final appearance while editing. This feature can be activated by opening the <b>Form</b> menu and selecting <b>Preview</b>, or by pressing <b>Ctrl+R</b> when in the form.</p>
<p class="centerAlign"><img src="images/designer-dialog-preview.png" alt="" /></p><p>The preview shows exactly what the final component will look like when used in an application.</p>
<p>Since Qt 4.4, it is possible to preview forms with various skins - default skins, skins created with Qt Style Sheets or device skins. This feature simulates the effect of calling <code>QApplication::setStyleSheet()</code> in the application.</p>
<p>To preview your form with skins, open the <b>Edit</b> menu and select <b>Preferences...</b></p>
<p>You will see the dialog shown below:</p>
<p class="centerAlign"><img src="images/designer-preview-style.png" alt="" /></p><p>The <b>Print/Preview Configuration</b> checkbox must be checked to activate previews of skins. You can select the styles provided from the <b>Style</b> drop-down box.</p>
<p class="centerAlign"><img src="images/designer-preview-style-selection.png" alt="" /></p><p>Alternatively, you can preview custom style sheet created with Qt Style Sheets. The figure below shows an example of Qt Style Sheet syntax and the corresponding output.</p>
<p class="centerAlign"><img src="images/designer-preview-stylesheet.png" alt="" /></p><p>Another option would be to preview your form with device skins. A list of generic device skins are available in <i>Qt Designer</i>, however, you may also use other QVFB skins with the <b>Browse...</b> option.</p>
<p class="centerAlign"><img src="images/designer-preview-deviceskin-selection.png" alt="" /></p><a name="viewing-the-form-s-code"></a>
<h2 id="viewing-the-form-s-code">Viewing the Form's Code</h2>
<p>Since Qt 4.4, it is possible to view code generated by the User Interface Compiler (uic) for the <i>Qt Designer</i> form.</p>
<p class="centerAlign"><img src="images/designer-form-viewcode.png" alt="" /></p><p>Select <b>View Code...</b> from the <b>Form</b> menu and a dialog with the generated code will be displayed. The screenshot below is an example of code generated by the <code>uic</code>.</p>

<p>Forms created in <i>Qt Designer</i> can be saved to an image or printed.</p>
<div class="table"><table class="generic">

<p><b>Printing Forms</b></p>
<p>To print a form, select the <b>Print...</b> option.</p>
