## Detailed Description

The QFormBuilder class is used to dynamically construct user interfaces from .ui files at run-time.

The QFormBuilder class provides a mechanism for dynamically creating user interfaces at run-time, based on `.ui` files created with Qt Designer.

This class extends the QAbstractFormBuilder base class with a number of functions that are used to support custom widget plugins:

- pluginPaths() returns the list of paths that the form builder searches when loading custom widget plugins.
- addPluginPath() allows additional paths to be registered with the form builder.
- setPluginPath() is used to replace the existing list of paths with a list obtained from some other source.
- clearPluginPaths() removes all paths registered with the form builder.
- customWidgets() returns a list of interfaces to plugins that can be used to create new instances of registered custom widgets.

See also QAbstractFormBuilder.
