问题
My Qt project uses shadow build.
When I change in MainWindow form ( .ui file), I build the project but my program doesn't update GUI.
If I rebuild all, GUI will be updated. But rebuild is very very slow.
I try creating a new project (an empty QMainWindow with some labels), I modify some texts. I build and GUI is updated.
How can I use shadow build correctly, without a rebuild of all my project?
回答1:
The same issue occurs if the *.ui file name is changed.
For example, Changing yourUi.ui to myUi.ui.
If that is the scenario, then the ui_*.h should also be changed, that is, yourUi.ui to ui_myUi.h.

close Qt creator, go to your project directory and delete the .pro.user file, open the project again and this time Qt creator will ask you to configure your project by choosing the kit you use to build your project. Select the appropriate kit and press the "configure project" button. Apply your shadow build. I hope it will work.

Have you tried to just run qmake (Build -> Run qmake) ?
Edit
As suggested by a comment, I copied the comment to preserve it.
It seems that QtCreator correctly rebuild the .h file of the ui in the shadow build directory, and then include the ones in the source directory, which is not regenerated. I don't know if this is a bug or an intended behaviour, but a quick workaround can be to build the project in the shadow build directory, copy the generated .h files back in the source directory and rebuild again. This work with my simple project, don't know if can be workable also for bigger and more complex project. Or do not use shadow builds
