loadUI [-listTypes] [-uiFile string] [-uiString string] [-verbose] [-workingDirectory string]
loadUI is undoable, NOT queryable, and NOT editable.
loadUI command allows loading of a user interface created in Trolltech Qt Designer.
Some Qt classes have equivalents in Maya. If a widget's class is recognized, the Maya-equivelent will be created instead.
Any dynamic properties on a widget which start with a '-' character will be treated as a MEL flag/value pair. Similarly, any which start with a '+' will be treated as a Python flag/value pair. Such pairs will be applied to the widget upon creation.
