I want to do some custom processing when the orientation of the phone changes. I have re-implemented the resizeEvent(QResizeEvent*) virtual function in my class.

Qt app text size incorrect under MacOSX

Designing UIs with QtCreator under Windows, and porting the same .ui file under MacOSX leads to designs with some text parts very small -- actually, the HTML ones. It seems it comes from the fact that QtCreator uses pt instead of px as text size unit, and that the default screen resolutions are quite different under Windows and MacOSX. ...

Hi I have a problem compiling my Qt app with Visual studio 2008 SP1. For the sake of purity I created a windows XP virtual machine, installed VS 2008, then SP1 and then compiled Qt 4.6. Now from looking at the manifest of the Qt DLLs (using XN Resource Editor) I can see that they depends on 9.0.21022.8 CRT. But at the same time the lat...

qmake rules for generated code

I realized my earlier question was a little confused about the rules and dependencies. The following .pro file generates a makefile which works correctly IF the source files in the directory 'generated' exist at the time qmake runs. idl.target = generated/qmtest.h idl.commands = code_generator idl.config = no_link idl.depends = $...

Can someone explain to me the basic idea of Qt signals&slots mechanism IMPLEMENTATION? I want to know what all those Q_OBJECT macros do "in plain C++". This question is NOT about signals&slots usage. added: I know that Qt uses moc compiler to transform Qt-C++ in plain C++. But what does moc do? I tried to read "moc_filename.cpp" files b...

Any decent QtScript tutorial?

Hello everyone. Is there any good QtScript tutorial that isn't about slots or accessing c++ values from script? All I need is one function in external file that uses some regexps on array values and then sends output back to main programm. I understand, that it can be done using signals/slots, but it looks like overhead and I'm sure the...

Generate vector EMF/WMF (Windows Metafile) clipboard content from Qt 4.5

We are moving a large codebase from GDI to QPainter. One thing we used to get on Windows easily was the EMF clipboard format, which enabled customers to manipulate their pasted output in other programs (like Office) in a vector format. It's easy for us to produce bitmaps from Qt into EMF, but that really doesn't give us back the editabi...
