That post inspired KDAB’s own Giuseppe D’Angelo to add the asKeyValueRange member function to both QHash and QMap. Now it’s possible to iterate over them with a simple range-based for loop, […]
Say No to Qt Style Sheets Making the Right Choice Between QStyle and Qt Style Sheets, Upfront
You have two choices when it comes to giving a custom style to your Qt widgets. Qt Style Sheets are very convenient for getting started — just a few CSS-like rules, and they work. It is our experience, however, that Qt Style Sheets create too much trouble and a QStyle subclass (*) gives a better […]
