This examples directory contains lots of TQt examples. And there are
additional examples in ../tools/designer/examples/ and in the
extensions subdirectories. The documentation contains two detailed Qt
tutorials and additional tutorials for TQt Designer. The examples here
are useful for learning particular TQt classes and techniques, but to
learn TQt itself we recommend starting with the documentation's short
"How to Learn Qt" document.
It is best to run each example from its own directory since some of
them assume they are run from there.
aclock
This example displays an analog clock widget.
It shows how to create a custom widget (TQWidget subclass) and how
to create a timer using TQTimer.
action
A single document interface application example with a menu bar,
tool bar and status bar that provides simple text editing.
It shows how to implement a typical modern application, how to
create a TQMainWindow subclass, and how to create actions that can
be assigned to menus (TQPopupMenu) and toolbars (TQToolBar) using
TQAction. It also shows how to print using TQSimpleRichText.

and TQGroupBox), and different kinds of buttons (TQCheckBox,
TQRadioButton, and TQPushButton). It also shows how to add a
TQPopupMenu to a button.

implement a context menu using TQPopupMenu.

(ko), Norwegian (no), and Russian (ru). Some languages depend on
the availability of suitable fonts.

Window menu.
