You can do it like follows: Name your .ui-file formbase.ui and add it directly 
to your project, i.e. don't call uic yourself. Make sure, that the custom 
slots in your formbase.ui are declared virtual. Then, in your Automake 
Manager [1], right-click the formbase.ui and select "Subclassing Wizard". 
Call the subclass "Form". The wizard should offer you to reimplement the 
virtual slots. In the Form class, add your code to the slots. You can also 
add new methods in the Form class.

The problem is that the output of uic is automatically generated and should 
therefore not be touched, because any changes to the files will be lost when 
you run uic again.

Hope that helps,
--Thomas

[1] Assuming you use Automake. There probably is something similar in other 
buildsystem managers.
