I created a form for the application in Qt Designer and placed a QOpenGLWidget in it and got an openGLWidget object, but now I can't figure out how to draw with this object. I will not be able to inherit from the object to write code inside its methods and other things...
You are able to inherit from it. You just have to use the widget promotion mechanism in Qt Designer to promote your new QOpenGLWidget
to your derived type.
