How do I get started?

[neigaard]

Hi

Im a Java programmer completly new to QT. I tried to follow the turorials in the help system, and ofcourse I can create forms and what not, but there are some essential point Im missing. For the record, Im using Mac OS X.

Can I "only" make forms/dialogs with QT designer? I cant make complete C++ projects with it?

How do I get to write some actual code in the different events/slots? Is there a good tutorial for this?

So far I just have a IDE to create pretty forms in that do nothing, so please help

Best regards
Søren

No, it's an option, not a requirement.

Designer is only meant to design widgets. Then you have to write some code that uses the design to create an application.

Look into our wiki and links section.

Designer is not an IDE.
