|
|
Qt Designer simplifies the process of designing and
|
|
|
|
|
creating graphical user interfaces (GUI) using the
|
|
|
|
|
award\-winning TQt toolkit. TQt Designer is easy to learn.
|
|
|
|
|
There are tutorials, walkthrough examples and the
|
|
|
|
|
reference documentation accelerating you through the
|
|
|
|
|
learning phase. After that, TQt Designer greatly reduces
|
|
|
|
|
the time and effort needed to develop even the most
|
|
|
|
|
complex dialogs with an easy\-to\-use GUI and an integrated
|
|
|
|
|
help system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
TQt Designer provides a rich set of features aimed at
|
|
|
|
|
making the creation of dialogs as easy and smooth as
|
|
|
|
|
possible without reducing the power of Qt. It offers all
|
|
|
|
|
the strength of the TQt layout system with a well\-designed
|
|
|
|
|
user interface. This, combined with the TQt Designer's
|
|
|
|
|
undo/redo system makes it simple to try different
|
|
|
|
|
arrangements of the widgets until the result satisfies
|
|
|
|
|
you.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using TQt Designer's convenient property editor along
|
|
|
|
|
with the dynamic TQt property system it is easy to set the
|
|
|
|
|
initial state of your widgets. Special editors for some
|
|
|
|
|
widgets (like listboxes, comboboxes, etc.) allow you to
|
|
|
|
|
fill these widgets with content without writing any code.
|
|
|
|
|
Using the object hierarchy view, the parent\-child
|
|
|
|
|
relationship between the widgets of a dialog can be
|
|
|
|
|
understood at a glance.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Integrating dialogs into a TQt project is straightforward
|
|
|
|
|
thanks to the User Interface Compiler (UIC), which
|
|
|
|
|
generates C++ code from the XML dialog description on the
|
|
|
|
|
fly. The programmer can easily extend the functionality
|
|
|
|
|
of the generated classes by subclassing without touching
|
|
|
|
|
generated code at all or running the risk of loosing
|
|
|
|
|
their changes.
