Request Qt5Designer.dll support for QFormBuilder.Load about qtsharp

Hello @grbd . I am going to have some time in a week or so and I will then check how Qt5Designer works.

Thanks for the reply, I had a quick go with Qt5Designer but ran into a couple of problems
if cppsharp works with static libs then QtUiTools might be a lot easier to figure out since it has a simpler implementation. under windows it's visible under C:\Qt\Qt5.5.0\5.5\mingw492_32\lib\libQt5UiTools.a, it's just a shame there's no dll equivilent

In case there's no DLL, it cannot work unless somebody gets the code of QtUiTools and compiles it to a DLL. C# can only p/invoke DLL-s.

@grbd I believe the missing Qt5UiTools DLL is a bug in their installer so I filed it at https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-48383 .

I think I saw another bug report mentioning the same thing, it should be interesting to see what happens.
I think the expectation might be to use QtDesigner instead of Qt5UiTools if a dll is needed for whatever reasons, since both routes can handle processing a.ui file, Qt5UiTools seems to be a more stripped down version just including what's needed for runtime.

The QT examples seem to work okay with Qt5UiTools so they must be linking against the static lib in order to work. Given there's only a single class and a small set of functions in that module I'm tempted to just manually code it using a manually grafted qmake .pro file / cpp inlines file that links against the static lib as a one off. The other option is to get QtDesigner working, but I don't know as much about how to do that part.

QtDesigner is now wrapped.

Thanks very much for this
I may have gotten Qt5UiTools to work at the same time (I've got everything to compile and build, but just need to test that it actually works)
If it works, I'll put in a pull request
