# AUTOUIC

Should the target be processed with autouic (for Qt projects).

`AUTOUIC` is a boolean specifying whether CMake will handle the Qt `uic` code generator automatically, i.e. without having to use the `QT4_WRAP_UI()` or `QT5_WRAP_UI()` macro. Currently Qt4 and Qt5 are supported.

When this property is `ON`, CMake will scan the source files at build time and invoke `uic` accordingly. If an `#include` statement like `#include "ui_foo.h"` is found in `foo.cpp`, a `foo.ui` file is expected next to `foo.cpp`, and `uic` is run on the `foo.ui` file. This property is initialized by the value of the `CMAKE_AUTOUIC` variable if it is set when a target is created.

Additional command line options for `uic` can be set via the `AUTOUIC_OPTIONS` source file property on the `foo.ui` file. The global property `AUTOGEN_TARGETS_FOLDER` can be used to group the autouic targets together in an IDE, e.g. in MSVS.

See the `cmake-qt(7)` manual for more information on using CMake with Qt.
