Beta release of wwWidgets4 - a set of widgets for Qt4 has been released

Download package

The set consists of the following widgets:

• QwwColorButton Button acting as a colour chooser
• QwwColorComboBox Combobox that allows to pick colors. (unstable)
• QwwHueSatPicker A widget allowing color picking in a form of a hue-saturation rectangle
• QwwHueSatRadialPicker A widget allowing color picking in a form of hue-saturation circle
• QwwLineEdit QLineEdit with regular expression validation support
• QwwListWidget An enhanced QListWidget
• QwwLongSpinBox A spinbox taking long long values
• QwwNavigationBar Widget simmilar to MS Outlook navigation bar. (unstable)
• QwwNumPad A numeric keypad widget
• QwwTaskPanel Task panel simmilar to the one from WindowsXP.(unstable)
• QwwTipWidget Widget that displays application tips
• QwwTwoColorIndicator A widget allowing to choose a foreground and background colour

Widgets marked as unstable are hardly or even not at all usable. The color combobox has beed disabled and will not be built, so you won't see it in your widget box.

To build and install the set issue qmake, (n)make and (n)make install commands. The set should install cleanly on Unix and MSVC installations. There is a little problem with MinGW - you have to copy the .a file to the appropriate directory yourself.

To use the set simply add "CONFIG += wwWidgets" to your project file.

The set is not completed, but I decided to release it now anyway (GPL licence), because I don't know when I'll be able to finish the set so in the meantime it may be of benefit to someone. If you want to use any of the widgets in a commercial product, please contact me.

Comments about the release are welcome and appreciated - you can send me a private message, just please don't send reports about obviously not completed functionality. Please don't send reports about unstable widgets.

Due to a lack of functionality in Qt (at least up to versions 4.3beta1) Designer made custom container classes (such as the navigation bar and the task panel) will not work (hand coded classes should work fine).
