In Qt there is no really form class. The .ui file is an XML file that describes what widgets should be automatically created in generated ui_classname.h file. Just take a look at that file.

Main work is done in setupUi() method:

void setupUi(QWidget* a) {
    if (a->objectName().isEmpty())
        a->setObjectName(QString::fromUtf8("QBottomControl"));
    a->resize(1024, 113);
    a->setMinimumSize(QSize(1024, 113));
    a->setWindowTitle(QString::fromUtf8("QBottomControl"));
    ...
}

If you don't want to use the Designer, then you can manually create this initializations like it is done in setupUi() method.
