How to add a UI QWidget to a UI QWidget?

Completely using QT Designer. I've created a QWidget to encapsulate a collection of controls. I now want to use this QWidget several times in the QMainWindow form.

How do I 'put' my QWidget onto the QMainWindow using QT Designer only?

Shouldn't this just be a simple drag and drop operation? What am I missing?

You can promote widgets.

Simply drag and drop QWidget into your mainwindow with QtDesigner.

Right click on it and press promote to In the dialog fill in your created widget's Class name (header should be filled in automatically if it doesn't match edit accordingly) press add and promote.

Now build and run your application and you should see your widget with collection of controls.
