AUTOUIC
-------

Should the target be processed with autouic (for Qt projects).

AUTOUIC is a boolean specifying whether CMake will handle
the Qt uic code generator automatically, i.e. without having to use
the QT4_WRAP_UI() or QT5_WRAP_UI() macro. Currently Qt4 and Qt5 are
supported.

When this property is set to TRUE, CMake will scan the source files
at build time and invoke uic accordingly.
If an #include statement like #include "ui_foo.h" is found in
foo.cpp, a foo.ui file is expected next to foo.cpp, and uic is
run on the foo.ui file.
This property is initialized by the value of the :variable:`CMAKE_AUTOUIC`
variable if it is set when a target is created.

Additional command line options for uic can be set via the
:prop_sf:`AUTOUIC_OPTIONS` source file property on the foo.ui file.
The global property :prop_gbl:`AUTOGEN_TARGETS_FOLDER` can be used to group the
autouic targets together in an IDE, e.g. in MSVS.
