Hi David,
thank you for looking that up. I actually managed to make my widget work 
in Designer. There were a few problems (one was that I had to convert 
int to float before dividing it by 100, otherwise the result was always 
0.00), and it is kinda difficult to track down which is the cause of the 
crash when importing the widget in Designer.

Thank you very much again
Marco
