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. Fortunately, migrations from any toolkit to Qt is something KDAB has been doing from the beginning, and has lots of experience with. You may be wondering what this has to do […]
KDAB at Qt Virtual Tech Con May 12-14
Since the postponement of Qt World Summit this May 12-14, The Qt Company decided to host a virtual one in its place called Qt Virtual Tech Con. The event offered talks you won’t hear in October, virtual exhibits, and Q&As online, for free. KDAB’s Kevin Funk presented Using Modern CMake with Qt and we showed […]
Qt, range-based for loops and structured bindings Part 1
Qt has a long history. 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++ […]
Using Visual Studio Code for Qt Applications – Part One A Technical Guide

KDAB at Embedded World, Nuremberg 25 - 27 February
Embedded World – 25-27 February 2020 February 2020 will be the tenth year that KDAB exhibits at Embedded World, in Nuremberg, Germany. When we started exhibiting, there were only five halls compared to today’s seven, so the event continues to grow and remain relevant, in a world where most interaction takes place on-line. In those […]
New features and changes in the Kuesa 1.1.0 release
KUESA™ is a solution that provides an integrated and unified workflow for designers and developers to create, optimize and integrate real time 3D content in a 3D or hybrid 2D/3D software user interface. Models, including geometry, materials, animations and more, can smoothly be shared between designers and developers. Kuesa relies on glTF 2.0, an open standard […]
A little hidden gem: QStringIterator
A few days ago Marc Mutz, colleague of mine at KDAB and also author in this blog, spotted this function from Qt’s source code (documentation): Apart from the mistake of considering empty strings not uppercase, which can be easily fixed, the loop in the body looks innocent enough. How would we figure out if a […]
