loadUI [-listTypes] [-uiFile
string] [-uiString
string] [-verbose] [-workingDirectory
string]
loadUI is undoable, NOT queryable, and NOT
editable.
loadUI command allows loading of a user interface created in
Trolltech Qt Designer.
Some Qt classes have equivalents in Maya. If a widget's class is
recognized, the Maya-equivelent will be created instead.
Any dynamic properties on a widget which start with a '-' character
will be treated as a MEL flag/value pair. Similarly, any which
start with a '+' will be treated as a Python flag/value pair. Such
pairs will be applied to the widget upon creation.
