I'm trying to simply save a file. However, I need a filename entered without a suffix to automatically get a default suffix (which setDefaultSuffix() does). I'd rather not completely lose the native save dialog just for this. exec() is not overloaded from QDialog, so it totally bypasses the native hook (ignoring the DontUseNativeDialo...
I've run into some odd behavior with tabified QDockWidgets, below is an example program with comments that demonstrates the behavior. Is this a bug or is it expected behavior and I'm missing some nuance in QDockWidget that causes this? Directly, since this does not work, how would one properly "undock" a hidden QDockWidget then display...
After reading this article http://lukast.mediablog.sk/log/?p=155 I decided to use mingw on linux to compile windows applications. This means I can compile, test, debug and release directly from Linux. I hacked this build script which will cross compile the application and even package it in a ZIP file. Note that I am using out of sourc...
I'm doing my first C++ - Qt4 application and I'm having some trouble "connecting" my different uis. I have a main window with several buttons and when I click on one, I want another window to open. The MyMainWindowClass inherits from QMainWindow and the other from QWidget. Here is the code I have written so far : #include <iostream>...
I want to "stringify" a number and keep leading zeros. Unlike this question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/885401/print-trailing-zeros-in-a-qstring I also need this in hex. By code now uses this, which is not enough: QString::number(myNumber,16).toUpper() ...
Hi all. I've to port to Qt/Linux a Win32 code that relies on GetCharacterPlacement() call for properly handle Arabic ligatures in strings. While I've no problem at displaying these strings via QTextEdit or QLineEdit (Qt widgets correctly show ligatures), I can't "identify" and manage these ligatures. In other words, if I type 3 Arabic...
I'm familiar with the way Qt uses D-pointers for managing data. How do I do this in my code? I tried this method: 1) move all data into a struct 2) add a QAtomicInt to the struct 3) implement a = operator and change my constructor/deconstructor to check-up on the reference count. The issue is, when I go to do a shallow copy of the obj...
I have a couple of base/interface classes each of which has several derived classes. I have a need to store metadata on each derived class that has a lot of overlap, but different values. I also have a Factory class for creating instances of the derived classes that's implemented as a singleton and has a few macros. For example, you'd: ...
I'm building an application that has its own custom chrome. I have turned the default window border off by setting the flag: this->setWindowFlags(Qt::FramelessWindowHint); After this flag is set and the default window border is turned off, any calls to: this->showMaximized(); result in a window that takes up the entire screen, over...
I'm writing a simple test program using QTreeModel and QTreeView for a more complex project later on. In this simple program, I have data in groups which may be contracted or expanded, as one would expect in a QTreeView. The data may also be sorted by the various data columns (QTreeView.setSortingEnabled is True). Each tree item is a lis...

I'm using the nice feature in QMessageBox to optionally show detailed text to the user. However, the window after expansion is still fairly small, and one immediately tries to resize the window so more of the details are visible. Even after setting what I think are the proper settings it won't allow resizing. Here's the relevant snippet...

Hello all I'm currently learning the QT framework. I need to know if it's possible to set the debugger to give meaningful messages as opposed to what it gives me right now, which is the failed step in the build process (usually the '.o' file) I need to know if it's possible to set it to giving meaningful message like Visual studio ...
