Using Modern CMake with Qt
KDAB’s Kevin Funk presented Using Modern CMake with Qt at Qt Virtual Tech Con last month. He reported that the Qt Company did a great job moderating the sessions at this event, and there was a lively Q&A at the end – Kevin had to pick from about 60 questions, so this is a hot […]
Automating tasks in Qt Creator
My first project when I entered KDAB was the migration of a multi-million lines Motif application to Qt… feels quite scary said like that.

Why is my screen black? A digestible blog on common render issues and what could be their cause
Part 1 So, you’ve just poured your heart and soul into some real-time 3D rendering code and hit render. Wringing your hands in anticipation you wait for the screen to show your marvellous creation. Still… waiting. It says it’s done but, nothing. Well, maybe not nothing but simply darkness. You stare into the deep dark […]
Qt, range-based for loops and structured bindings Part 1

The first stable version was released before the first version of C++ was standardized and long before the different C++ compiler vendors started shipping usable implementations of the C++ standard library. Because of this, Qt often followed (and still follows) some design idioms that feel unnatural to the usual C++ […]
