Yeah, Qt Designer is not what i'm looking for.. The idea is the same, but I 
need to make my program generate this (simple) dialogs at runtime.  The 
purpose is so that you can make XML pluggin addons to the program and the 
program will know how to handle the dialogs for the addons and won't require 
a recompile.

I would be interested in seeing the routines you have, it sounds like what 
i'm trying to do.
