<p> <h2> How to install the Visual Studio Integration Plugin
|
||
|
|
</h2>
|
||
|
|
<a name="1"></a><p> When you install Qt, the integration plugin should be installed for you,
|
||
|
|
and ready for use. However, sometimes this does not happen properly, so
|
||
|
|
you need to manually carry out the following steps.
|
||
|
|
<p> <ul>
|
||
|
|
<li> Ensure that the file '%MSDevDir%\addins\qmsdev.dll' exists.
|
||
|
|
<li> Start Visual Studio, if it isn't already running.
|
||
|
|
<li> Select Tools|Customize|Add-ins and Macro Files.
|
||
|
|
<li> Ensure the checkbox to the left of the "QMsDev Developer Studio-Add-In" add-in is checked.
|
||
|
|
<li> Click Close.
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p> Now the integration plugin should be properly installed. If this doesn't
|
||
|
|
work, then contact Trolltech technical support giving details of
|
||
|
|
what went wrong.
|
||
|
|
<p> <h2> How to uninstall the Visual Studio Integration Plugin
|
||
|
|
</h2>
|
||
|
|
<a name="2"></a><p> When you want to uninstall the integration plugin, just carry out the
|
||
|
|
following steps.
|
||
|
|
<p> <ul>
|
||
|
|
<li> Close down any instances of Visual Studio.
|
||
|
|
<li> Delete the file '%MSDevDir%\addins\qmsdev.dll'
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p> <h2> What can the Visual Studio Integration Plugin do?
|
||
|
|
</h2>
|
||
|
|
<a name="3"></a><p> The integration plugin adds the following options to Visual Studio:
|
||
|
|
<p> <ul>
|
||
|
|
<li> New Qt Project
|
||
|
|
<li> New Qt Dialog
|
||
|
|
<li> Qt Designer
|
||
|
|
<li> Open Qt Project
|
||
|
|
<li> Write Qt Project
|
||
|
|
<li> Use Qt In Current Project
|
||
|
|
<li> Add MOC
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p> <h3> Using the 'New Qt Project' button
|
||
|
|
</h3>
|
||
|
|
<a name="3-1"></a><p> The 'New Qt Project' button allows you to create a simple Qt project
|
||
|
|
ready for development. Simply fill in the form and if you select
|
||
|
|
'Dialog' or 'Main Window' without MDI support then it will
|
||
|
|
automatically start up <em>Qt Designer</em>. When you have finished with
|
||
|
|
the form in <em>Qt Designer</em> just save it and it will appear in a
|
||
|
|
ready made Qt project.
|
||
|
|
<p> If you select 'Main Window' with 'MDI Support' then it will simply
|
||
|
|
give you a code skeleton in a project ready for you to populate with
|
||
|
|
your own code.
|
||
|
|
<p> <h3> Using the 'New Qt Dialog' button
|
||
|
|
</h3>
|
||
|
|
<a name="3-2"></a><p> The 'New Qt Dialog' button works in two ways: You can use it to create a new
|
||
|
|
dialog for your project; or you can use it to insert an existing
|
||
|
|
dialog into your project.
|
||
|
|
<p> If you want to create a new dialog then all you need to do is specify where
|
||
|
|
the dialog file should be saved and give it a name. This will start up
|
||
|
|
<em>Qt Designer</em> to allow you to design your new dialog, and will add it to
|
||
|
|
the existing project.
|
||
|
|
<p> If you want to add an existing dialog to your project, then just select the
|
||
|
|
relevant <tt>.ui</tt> file. This will then add it to your existing project and add
|
||
|
|
the relevant steps to create the generated code.
|
||
|
|
<p> <h3> Using the 'Qt Designer' button
|
||
|
|
</h3>
|
||
|
|
<a name="3-3"></a><p> The 'Qt Designer' button simply starts up <em>Qt Designer</em>, it has no ties to
|
||
|
|
your existing project so whatever you do with it will not affect your
|
||
|
|
existing projects. It can also be started up by using the Ctrl+Shift+D key
|
||
|
|
combination in Visual Studio.
|
||
|
|
<p> <h3> Using the 'Open Qt Project' button
|
||
|
|
</h3>
|
||
|
|
<a name="3-4"></a><p> The 'Open Qt Project' button allows you to convert an existing <tt>qmake</tt> project file into a <tt>.dsp</tt> file which you can insert into
|
||
|
|
your existing workspace. When you click the 'Open Qt Project'
|
||
|
|
button, just select an existing <tt>qmake</tt> project file (a <tt>.pro</tt>
|
||
|
|
file) and then click OK. You will get a message box at the end
|
||
|
|
which asks you to insert the newly created <tt>.dsp</tt> file into your
|
||
|
|
existing workspace.
|
||
|
|
<p> <h3> Using the 'Write Qt Project' button
|
||
|
|
</h3>
|
||
|
|
<a name="3-5"></a><p> The 'Write Qt Project' button creates a <tt>qmake</tt> project (<tt>.pro</tt>)
|
||
|
|
file for your current project so that you can easily copy the files
|
||
|
|
onto another platform and be able to use <tt>qmake</tt> to create a Makefile
|
||
|
|
on that other platform. All you need to do is make the project you
|
||
|
|
want to create a <tt>.pro</tt> file for, and click on the button. Just
|
||
|
|
name your <tt>qmake</tt> project file and click Save.
|
||
|
|
<p> <h3> Using the 'Use Qt In Current Project' button
|
||
|
|
</h3>
|
||
|
|
<a name="3-6"></a><p> The 'Use Qt In Current Project' button simply adds in the necessary
|
||
|
|
information for the current project so that it links against Qt and
|
||
|
|
sets any other settings needed to use Qt in that project.
|
||
|
|
<p> <h3> Using the 'Add MOC' button
|
||
|
|
</h3>
|
||
|
|
<a name="3-7"></a><p> The 'Add MOC' button will add in the custom build step for the selected file
|
||
|
|
so that it creates any needed MOC files and it will add these generated
|
||
|
|
files to the project. All you need to do to use it is click on a file that
|
||
|
|
has <a href="metaobjects.html#Q_OBJECT">Q_OBJECT</a> and click the button.
|
||
|
|
<p> You only need to use this button if you added a file that has <a href="metaobjects.html#Q_OBJECT">Q_OBJECT</a> in it by hand, you don't need to use this if you used any
|
||
|
|
of the previously mentioned buttons. It can also be invoked by using
|
||
|
|
the Ctrl+Shift+M key combination in Visual Studio.
