\title About the Visual Studio Integration Plugin
|
|
|
|
The Visual Studio Integration Plugin is currently available only to users of
|
|
Visual Studio 6, it offers simple ways of doing common tasks when writing a
|
|
Qt application.
|
|
|
|
\tableofcontents
|
|
|
|
\section1 How to install the Visual Studio Integration Plugin
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
\list
|
|
\i Ensure that the file '%MSDevDir%\\addins\\qmsdev.dll' exists.
|
|
\i Start Visual Studio, if it isn't already running.
|
|
\i Select Tools|Customize|Add-ins and Macro Files.
|
|
\i Ensure the checkbox to the left of the "QMsDev Developer Studio-Add-In" add-in is checked.
|
|
\i Click Close.
|
|
\endlist
|
|
|
|
Now the integration plugin should be properly installed. If this doesn't
|
|
work, then contact Trolltech technical support giving details of
|
|
what went wrong.
|
|
|
|
\section1 How to uninstall the Visual Studio Integration Plugin
|
|
|
|
When you want to uninstall the integration plugin, just carry out the
|
|
following steps.
|
|
|
|
\list
|
|
\i Close down any instances of Visual Studio.
|
|
\i Delete the file '%MSDevDir%\\addins\\qmsdev.dll'
|
|
\endlist
|
|
|
|
\section1 What can the Visual Studio Integration Plugin do?
|
|
|
|
The integration plugin adds the following options to Visual Studio:
|
|
|
|
\list
|
|
\i New Qt Project
|
|
\i New Qt Dialog
|
|
\i Qt Designer
|
|
\i Open Qt Project
|
|
\i Write Qt Project
|
|
\i Use Qt In Current Project
|
|
\i Add MOC
|
|
\endlist
|
|
|
|
\section2 Using the 'New Qt Project' button
|
|
|
|
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 \e{Qt Designer}. When you have finished with
|
|
the form in \e{Qt Designer} just save it and it will appear in a
|
|
ready made Qt project.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
\section2 Using the 'New Qt Dialog' button
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
\e{Qt Designer} to allow you to design your new dialog, and will add it to
|
|
the existing project.
|
|
|
|
If you want to add an existing dialog to your project, then just select the
|
|
relevant \c .ui file. This will then add it to your existing project and add
|
|
the relevant steps to create the generated code.
|
|
|
|
\section2 Using the 'Qt Designer' button
|
|
|
|
The 'Qt Designer' button simply starts up \e{Qt Designer}, 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.
|
|
|
|
\section2 Using the 'Open Qt Project' button
|
|
|
|
The 'Open Qt Project' button allows you to convert an existing \c
|
|
qmake project file into a \c .dsp file which you can insert into
|
|
your existing workspace. When you click the 'Open Qt Project'
|
|
button, just select an existing \c qmake project file (a \c .pro
|
|
file) and then click OK. You will get a message box at the end
|
|
which asks you to insert the newly created \c .dsp file into your
|
|
existing workspace.
|
|
|
|
\section2 Using the 'Write Qt Project' button
|
|
|
|
The 'Write Qt Project' button creates a \c qmake project (\c .pro)
|
|
file for your current project so that you can easily copy the files
|
|
onto another platform and be able to use \c qmake to create a Makefile
|
|
on that other platform. All you need to do is make the project you
|
|
want to create a \c .pro file for, and click on the button. Just
|
|
name your \c qmake project file and click Save.
|
|
|
|
\section2 Using the 'Use Qt In Current Project' button
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
\section2 Using the 'Add MOC' button
|
|
|
|
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 \c Q_OBJECT and click the button.
|
|
|
|
You only need to use this button if you added a file that has \c
|
|
Q_OBJECT 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.
