Novice Questions

Hello,

I'm new in this forum, and so is my experience with Qt...

I decided to use Qt for my projects after investigating other GUI tool kits. However I still have some questions to finalize my decision on Qt. I'm using Visual Studio an Designer, and I have come across some problems I could not figure out myself.

1) Is it possible to set the style of a dialog created in the Designer? I mean Windows style: tool window, min/max buttons/title bar...

2) How can prevent a dialog box from showing on the task bar when it's shown?

Thanks.

Hi qtoptus,
and welcome to this forum


Find the windowflags example in the examples directory of your Qt SDK:

/Your Qt SDK DIR/qt/examples/widgets/windowflags

I think it's all what you need.

Thanks for your help.

Hi qtoptus,

I recommend the book "C++ GUI Programming with Qt 4" by Blanchette & Summerfield. It's very well written, not too expensive and quite thorough.

Have fun
