When this property is ``ON``, 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.

``uic`` is run on the ``foo.ui`` file to generate ``ui_foo.h`` in the directory
``<CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR>/<TARGETNAME>_autogen/include``,
which is added to the target's :prop_tgt:`INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES` automatically.

AUTOUIC_SEARCH_PATHS
--------------------

This property is initialized by the value of the
:variable:`CMAKE_AUTOUIC_SEARCH_PATHS` variable if it is set
when a target is created. Otherwise it is empty.
See the :manual:`cmake-qt(7)` manual for more information on using CMake
with Qt.
CMAKE_AUTOUIC_SEARCH_PATHS
--------------------------
Search path list used by :variable:`CMAKE_AUTOUIC` to find included
``.ui`` files.
This variable is used to initialize the :prop_tgt:`AUTOUIC_SEARCH_PATHS`
property on all the targets. See that target property for additional
information.
By default it is empty.
