HI, how do I create a .pro with qt4 openSource? With designer isn't possibile save as .pro...but I can only save .ui......thanks

You write it yourself. You can use "qmake -project" to generate initial .pro file.

Read the qmake manual (in assistant). There is a simple tutorial at the beginning that tells you everything you need to know to get started.

mm. so I have to design n form.ui and the add them to .pro by hand? But this is a change of QT4 or is QTOpenSource? (maybe qt3 wAs better?) thanks

.pro files syntax is very simple.
If you want add a form (myform.ui) to a project, add this line in .pro file

Qt Code:

Switch view

FORMS += myform.ui

FORMS += myform.ui

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

In Qt4 the Designer is only an Interface designer and not a IDE. In this way it's simpler to integrate it into a IDE (KDevelop, Visual Studio, ...).

A side benefit to this is that you are now in charge of your own code. This is a subtle thing, ill-appreciated by newbies.
