Naren Karattup (our product manager) and I did a webinar two weeks back titled “Bringing C++ to Vista: Leveraging Your C++ Code-Base to Create Native Windows® Vista™ Applications”. If you missed it, you can now see it offline here. From the webcast link “We recommend the following operating systems: Windows XP SP2, and Mac OS […]
QSlider I have been avoiding QSlider for sometime now. Sliding the QSlider would have been straightforward if the code was correct . You need this teeny weeny patch against 4.3 (If you are using a week old 4.3 snapshot, you are good). Comments inline. QSlider::groove:horizontal { border: 1px solid #999999; height: 8px; /* the groove […]
Today we will look at the styling of one of the most complex widgets (when it comes to styling) in Qt – The QTabWidget. Fasten your seat belts so you don’t get blown away Comments inline. QTabWidget::pane { /* The tab widget frame */ border-top: 2px solid #C2C7CB; } QTabWidget::tab-bar { left: 5px; /* move […]
Qt 4.3 Style Sheets, as you most likely know, introduces styling of most widgets. The documentation is a quite silent when it comes to providing “style templates” – templates that you can just copy/paste and get started with styling the widget. Today, I started creating templates for QProgressBar and QScrollBar. All this will become a […]
It looks like people have taken a deep liking to having line edits with a clear button. Like the one Aaron made. Since many seem to have missed that post, here’s my take on a QLineEdit with a clear button. lineedit.h lineedit.cpp The code is fairly trivial. So, I won’t bother explaining. The clear button […]
Since I will be posting lot of Style sheets, I figured this is about the right time to point out that Qt 4.3 Designer has a built-in CSS Syntax validator and highlighter. Just right click on any widget and “Edit Stylesheet…”. (screenshot here.) Background Qt 4.3 introduces support for background images in any QAbstractScrollArea derivative. […]
There’s been a tremendous amount of action in the Qt Style Sheet world for 4.3. I have been extremely busy managing the release, but now with 4.3.0 out, I have all the time to blog about the Style Sheet features we have added for 4.3 . To start with, have you noticed Style Sheet documentation […]
We just released 4.3.0. The What’s new page gives a comprehensive list of new features in Qt 4.3. One of the things about the open development process we have at Trolltech is that it leaves no room for surprise . So sorry, there is not a single surprise feature that we have not blogged or […]
There we have it – A single source package that you can use to compile Qt on any platform. The zip package is for users who prefer Windows line endings in Qt source files. In contrast, the tar.gz package contains Unix line endings. The tar.bz2 packages are, ummm, a mistake (they will die shortly). The […]
Download the open source packages here. The Windows binary is now built with OpenSSL. The RC should compile in practically all platforms. If it doesn’t, please let us know (Either contact Support or send a mail to qt4-preview-feedback).
