Not all widget types are directly available in the form designer. Sometimes, we need to use widget classes that will only be created in the project that is being built. The simplest way to be able to put a custom widget on a form is to ask the designer to replace the class name of a standard widget with a custom name. By promoting an object to a different class, we saved a lot of work trying to otherwise fit our game board into the user interface.

You are now familiar with two ways of creating custom widgets: you can use the form editor or add widgets from the code. Both approaches are valuable. When creating a new widget class in your project, choose the most convenient way depending on your current task.
