What is GammaRay? 3 reasons to start using it today
What is GammaRay? For starters, it’s a powerful electromagnetic wave, as well as a way to treat cancer. It’s also an under-appreciated German speed metal band. And it’s what gives Dr. Bruce Banner his big green alter ego. But Qt aficionados will know the GammaRay that we’re talking about is an uber-powerful Qt debugger and introspection tool. If you’re […]
Highlights of CppCon 2015
Oh my, how time flies by! One month ago, I had the pleasure to travel to Bellevue, Washington, to attend CppCon 2015. It was a blast, and as a C++ developer, easily the best conference I ever attended. Below, I try to summarize my personal highlights of the talks I attended live. Note however that there were up […]
How to integrate OpenGL code with Qt Quick 2 applications (part 1)
The Qt World Summit was a rocking blast! More than 800 delegates, two days packed with sessions (and an additional training day presented by KDAB). Many old faces, lots of new ones, and a packed programme of sessions with terrific technical content. Yours truly also happened to give a talk, “Integrating OpenGL with Qt Quick […]
How to use static analysis to improve performance
It’s usually said “only improve performance where a profiler tells you to“. I don’t completely agree. Take a big C++ library like Qt: can you profile all classes and all code paths ? It would take a couple of years to accomplish and analyse the results. It’s expensive: It usually only happens if the speed-up […]

Qt Input Method – Virtual Keyboard Implementing an out-of-process virtual keyboard for text input in Qt apps
In the last episode of this blog series we learned about the overall concepts of input methods in Qt, with a look behind the scenes to see how a key press event from the native windowing system travels through the Qt input stack until it appears on screen inside a QLineEdit. In that context, the input method […]
Qt and KDAB at CppCon 2015
For years now I have been watching the video recordings of talks from various C++ conferences across the globe. As a developer, they are an invaluable source of information and inspiration. I have fond memories of watching GoingNative 2012 in a live stream with some colleagues of mine in our office in Berlin. But, over the years, […]

Qt Input Method – In Depth
What is an Input Method and what do we need it for? To answer that question, let’s see what Wikipedia says: “An input method (or input method editor, commonly abbreviated IME) is an operating system component or program that allows any data, such as keyboard strokes or mouse movements, to be received as input. In […]
