apply graphic GUI to a console program?

[yeshe66]

Hi.

I've got a problem.

I just downloaded dbzhang800-qextserialport library for serial port, and tried one of the example projects (event.pro) wich works fine. This is a console-program.

Can I change this project to become a GUI project so I can use the graphic editor? I want to start developing from this example code, and make a nice GUI for my serial interface.

Or is it better to start a new GUI project and add files from the example to that new project?

Well, do as you like. Both ways are fine.

[yeshe66]

Well, the problem is that I don't know how to do it, either way.

? Ehm, change

CONFIG += console

CONFIG += console

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

to

CONFIG += qt

CONFIG += qt

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and do normal Qt/C++ programming. Or what is your problem more specific?

EEhh , OK.

I understand that I am trying to proceed too fast here, I get stuck too often to develop anything useful. I'm a total beginner, so I will start over again totally. I have now bought a beginners book about Qt programming, and I will follow all the examples there. After that I suppose I'll understand more an don't need to ask too many dumb questions...

(The book is in Swedish and the title is "Grunderna i Fönsterbaserad prorammering i C++ med Qt Creator" by Fredrik Vallbo.
