Linking ACE in QTCreator on Windows

I'm somewhat new to both QT and Windows development in general (I develop on Linux at work and rarely do GUI programming). Anyway, I downloaded ACE and built it with Visual Studio Express 2008 and have been able to use it in VS programs but I'm having trouble making it play nicely with QTCreator.

Qt QPixmap::grabWidget on ActiveX widget

I have a Qt app which embeds a Flash Player ActiveX control. I put a button over the flashplayer and I need to set some parts of it transparent.

Are there any HTML5/Canvas windowing system libraries (ala Qt, WxWidgets, etc)?

With the beginning of widespread HTML5 support and Canvas support, it seems that someone could create a desktop-esque windowing system library for RIAs. Something similar to Qt or WxWidgets. All the required parts seem to be there (runtime language: javascript, pixel drawing: canvas, even vector drawing with SVGs). This seems to me an...

Hide scrollbar in QScrollArea

How can one hide the scrollbars in a QScrollArea? Currently I use the hide() method on the scrollbars returned by QScrollArea::horizontalScrollBar() and QScrollArea::verticalScrollBar() but the space reserved for scrollbars still remains.

image format best for display

I am working on an image processing application. I have to display an image sequence. I would like to avoid any extra overhead for {internal} format conversions.

Can I map lists in QT?

This is already fairly concise, but it would be awesome if I could map the list a la Ruby. Say I have a QStringList, myStringList, which contains things like "12.3", "-213.0", "9.24".

Platform-native preferences dialog with Qt on Mac, Gnome, KDE, and Windows

On Mac and Gnome, native applications use an application preferences dialog that immediately applies the chosen settings as they are selected. On Windows and (I think) KDE, preferences are applied only when an "Apply" or "OK" button is pressed. Are there any built-in Qt goodies to do this for you, or do you have to include several #ifde...
