    Hello,
    I have custom widget, I created it with coding. Using paintEvent to draw something special.
    How Can I use my widget on Qt Designer for design?

    As I know there is no support paintEvent on Qt Designer for python

    Thanks :)

      You can use the "promote" feature, see https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/designer-using-custom-widgets.html
      If you want to be able to select and use your widget directly in designer you will need to create a designer plug-in.

        @jsulm I think this is for C++, I don't know how to use it on Python?
