qt configuration on windows
I'm having some trouble installing and configuring qt on my vista laptop. I'm trying to setup a development environment on my laptop where I compile from the command line, because that's how the environment is setup on my university's linux machines, so I don't want to tie myself to some IDE .. (plus, real programmers use the command li...
How do I zip a directory of files using C++?
I'm working on a project using C++, Boost, and Qt. I understand how to compress single files and bytestreams using, for example, the qCompress() function in Qt. How do I zip a directory of multiple files, including subdirectories? I am looking for a cross-platform (Mac, Win, Linux) solution; I'd prefer not to fire off a bunch of new pr...
How can I capture a stack trace on the QA computers
I am writing a Qt/C++ application, up until this month I have been using Mingw for compiling and drmingw for getting the stack trace from the QA people. However I recently converted over to MSVC++ 9 so that I can use the phonon framework. The downside is that now the stack traces from drmingw are useless. What do others use? ...
How to make QCombobox painting item delegate for it's current Item? (Qt 4)
QCombobox set Item delegate not painting for current Item.. I am trying to create a combo box showing different line types (Solid, Dotted, Dash etc). Currently i am setting item delegate for its content so as to draw/paint line type instead of displaying names. All line types are drawing currectly but as soon as i am selecting any line ...
Get depth buffer from QGLPixelBuffer
I'm using OpenGL in a QT application. At some point I'm rendering to a QGLPixelBuffer. I need to get the depth buffer of the image, what I'd normally accomplish with glReadPixels(..., GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT, ...); I tried making the QGLPixelBuffer current and then using glReadPixels() but all I get is a white image. Here's my code bufferCa...
How can I tell a QTableWidget to end editing a cell?
I'm showing a popup menu to select some values in a QTableWidget. The lowest item is a "Modify list" entry, when I select it a new window should automatically appear and the QComboBox should vanish and the cell return to a Qt::DisplayRole state. Now Qt has all those nice API-calls like QTableWidget.edit() and QTableWidget.editItem(), wh...
.NET or Mono vs Qt, which one for cross-platform development?
OK, this is minefield, but trying to understand why one would pick .NET (or equivalently Mono) for cross-platform development over the other toolkit is difficult without experience in the both. For programmers who may have used both, what features would be missed or desired? Conversely, what would a user of one find missing from the...
Set QLineEdit focus in Qt
I am having a qt question. I want the QLineEdit widget to have the focus at application startup. Take the following code for example: #include <QtGui/QApplication> #include <QtGui/QHBoxLayout> #include <QtGui/QPushButton> #include <QtGui/QLineEdit> #include <QtGui/QFont> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { QApplication app(argc,...
mingw spitting countless warnings about ignoring "dll import" attribute
I'm using mingw32-make to compile a qt project that uses opengl, it compiles correctly and everything, but it spits countless warning messages of the form: c:/qt3/include/qcolor.h:67: warning: inline function `int qGray(int, int, int)' declared as dllimport: attribute ignored For this particular instance, the function declaration is:...
How to use linux fonts in windows QT?
We develop an embedded QT application for linux on MS Windows. The target platform is linux without X-windows (framebuffer) . Unfortunallety, the screens on windows look rather different (better) than the same screens on linux because windows has better fonts. Is there a way to force QT on windows to use the linux fonts? I would like to...
How do I tell Qt to always show an editor in a QTableView?
I've got a QTableView for which I want to display the last column always in edit mode. (It's a QComboBox where the user should be able to always change the value.) I think I've seen the solution in the Qt documentation, but I can't find it anymore. Is there a simple way of doing it? I think I could archive this effect by using openPers...
Floating/Embedded QDockWidget in a QWidget (KXmlGuiWindow's CentralWidget designed in QT Designer)
I'm just trying to get into QT (and KDE) program, and have hit a snag trying to add a floatable, draggable QDockWidget to the .ui file (based as a QWidget) that is embedded into my KDE 4 program. This is all from the basic template provided by KDevelop 4, so while I understand what's going on, I just don't know the best way to change it...
Change tab stop size in rendered HTML using Qt's QLabel class
I'm rendering some HTML in a QT QLabel. The HTML looks like this: <pre>foo\tbar</pre> (note that I've put "\t" where there is a tab chracter in the code). This renders fine, but the tab character appears to be rendered as eight spaces, whereas I want it to be redered as 4. How can I change this without having to change the source HT...
How does windowing work in qt embedded?
How does windowing work in qt embedded, where Qt is drawing directly to a framebuffer instead of through a separate windowing system? Can I run multiple programs at once? Do I get compositing and the little [x] button, maximizing and so forth? ...
How do I make controls autosizing in Qt designer?
I'm using Qt Jambi 4.4 for a project I'm working on (and designing the windows in the Qt Designer eclipse plugin). One of the windows I'd like to use is a preview window which is basically just a window with a QWebView on it. How can I make it so that the QWebView resizes as the window does? I've set the sizePolicy to expanding for bo...

Parsing huge data with c++
In my job, i need to parse different kind of data files from different data sources.Sometimes i parse them by writing directly c++ code (with the help of qt and boost:D), sometimes manually with a helper program. I must note that data types are so different from each other it is so hard to create common a interface for all of them. But i...
Is there an analogue to Qt's QCanvas in Windows Forms?
I've written a Windows Forms application to solve Shikaku puzzles. At the moment, the puzzle grid is drawn on a Panel in the app's main window using a PaintEventHandler. The method called by the PaintEventHandler redraws the entire grid every time it is called. Whilst this approach works, it is flickery and inefficient, and I would li...
How can I launch the on-screen keyboard from my application on Vista and Windows 7
I have a problem, I have an application which has a toolbar icon to launch the system onscreen keyboard. This all works fine with the exception of Windows Vista and Windows 7 beta. The UAC appears to be getting in the way and preventing the osk.exe from running. I have read that because it is used on the logon screen it will not promp...
