Basic Qt4 tutorial needed

[pthomas]

Thanks for the links, however I've been through each one of those links already before posting and still couldn't put the whole picture together for creating a simple dialog with them.

What are you loking for then?

Oh man. I'm not sure, but I'll know if I find it! I kind of did last night while I was still searching around and experimenting with stuff... Qt enlightenment

They do, you didn't look well enough (although they may not necessary be walk-by-hand tutorials).

- Yup, I agree.

What is wrong with your dialog? I stress it once again, that you CAN'T use KDevelop's embedded Designer component to create Qt4 widgets, I think that's your problem -- you don't have any Qt4 features of Designer.

I think I was still suffering from lack of understanding. I did actually get it working late last night. It was more of me not understanding how to use the .ui files after creating them with the designer. I'm going to give another one a try tonight. That was part of my problem originally too I think, using the designer in Kdevelop. I stopped using it shortly after opening this post.

Could you explain? I don't see them jumping around, just presenting choices one has -- that page is especialy usefull for people transfering from Qt3.

I wrote that badly, I meant the pages leading up to that link. Like if you click on that link and then jump back a few pages to where they first begin the dialog creation. I was trying to use it more like a how-to, but its more for reference.

You can't use KDevelop to manage Qt4 project, please remember that. You have to do it by changing the .pro file directly and making sure KDevelop doesn't mess it up. And answering your last question -- that's where the tutorial page you mentioned comes in -- you have there different choices you can take at that moment. One way or the other, you have to create a class derived from one of Qt widget classes and apply that UI there. It is explained in the tutorial how to do it.

Actually starting with version 3.3.x you can. They even stated Qt4 support on their features page for this release. And from my experience last night, it works quite well provided you setup the project right and then only use the Automake manager for adding/removing files.

Thanks for the help,
