How to acces other ui files in Qt Creator

Question

How can I acces other ui files from code using Qt Creator?
I am trying to create a small text editor. As always, I designed the main window by pressing on the Design button . After that , I created a new ui file from Qt creator called about.ui (the IDE also added about.h and about.cpp ). The main window's functions(like on_button_cliked() ) are in the file textedit.cpp

I created a small menu with an about entry, and then I went to Action Editor ,I selected the entry , Go to Slot, and the trigerred();
The IDE created all the things for me, so all I need is to define the function.
How can I acces the about ui that I created earlier?
Thanks in advance

You don't need the access to the '.ui' file. Qt's ui application does everything for you. All you need now is to create an object of your About class with MainWindow as a parent and show it.

The approximate code will be:

#include "about.h"

// ...

void MainWindow::on_about_triggered()
{
    About dialog(this);
    dialog.exec();
}
