[Eric] Eric4 "Generate Dialog Code..." Suggestion

[Patrick Moran]

When I select Generate Dialog Code... (right click on myForm.ui file in the
Forms Tab of the IDE)I can generate Python code without a problem for a UI
that has QDockWidget class. When I go to regenerate the file I get an error
message saying that there are no classes in my myForm.py module. After
further investigation I see that the list of class types that is scanned in
the file 

C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\eric4\Project\CreateDialogCodeDialog.py

is determined by the list on line 38. 

DialogClasses = set(["QDialog", "QWidget", "QMainWindow", "QWizard"])

If I change that line to this:

DialogClasses = set(["QDialog", "QWidget", "QMainWindow", "QWizard",
"QDockWidget"])

Then the Generate Dialog Code... command properly finds my QDockWidget type.

I'm curious why the list only contains those classes since the New Form
dialog box in Qt Designer shows several kinds:
QDockWidget
QFrame
QGroupBox
QScrollArea
QMdiArea
QTabWidget
QToolBox
QStackedWidget
QWidget
QWizard
QWizardPage
QMainWindow
QDialog

I assume each of the widgets in the list can be built inside its own UI
file: that's how I use them. I use separate UI files for each component in
the application, test them individually, then load them into the app at run
time. So generating code on a single widget is really helpful. 

Is it possible to roll the change that includes all the class types into the
next release?

Thanks!
