hi, i would like to try and write my own widget.
i would like to have it similar like show here.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot-matrix_display
i would like to try to the draw methode instead of using a text and dotmatrix char set.
i want to act like a displey and not a textbox.
you provide a string and display, the user can't enter any text.
i would like to make it resizeble and the display itself calculates the dot size itselfs.
i'm prettty new to QT and this is pretty much my first attempt to make a control from scratch.
i know, i need to use a arry/list to translate chars into custom bits in order to be translate in dots with the meaning of the char thats translated.
i would like to know the back ground, about how to draw the control and give it properties, event, etc, etc.
i'm not new to programming i have a C# back ground + php.
kind regards
