I’d like to add a displayed qt panel qslicerlogindialog.ui to the slider, which is placed in the directory shown below, but cannot be used; a panel like qslicerdatadialog.ui automatically generates a qslicerdialog\_p.h header file and a qslicerdatadialogprivate class, but how can I add a new qslicerlogindialog.ui to generate a qslicerlogindialog\_p.h header file and aqslicerlogerlogePrivate class? Qslicerdatadialog\_p.h How was this file generated? Thanks.

This question is how to make your own pop-up box in slicer app。

You can create and edit .ui files using [Qt designer](https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Nightly/Developers/Tutorials/QtDesigner). You can write everything from scratch but I usually start from copying and renaming .cxx, .h, .ui files of an existing similar widget.
