Qt Widgets and more…

Welcome to our video series about…Qt Widgets! Yes, widgets are still alive and kicking. In the many years we have worked with them, we have gathered quite a number of tips and tricks that we’d love to share with you. Whether it’s some handy snippet in C++ or a hidden button in a graphical tool, these suggestions will make your development life considerably easier.

Welcome to our brand new video series about...Qt Widgets! Yes, widgets are still alive and kicking. In the many years we have worked with them, we have gathered quite a number of tips and tricks that we'd love to share with you. Whether it's some handy snippet in C++ or a hidden button in a graphical tool, these suggestions will make your development life considerably easier. In this first video, we will show you a few ways to improve your workflow when using a QGridLayout inside Qt Designer. Sounds simple, doesn't it? Well, there are a few subtleties involved. The example code showcased in this video is available here: https://github.com/KDAB/kdabtv The video is presented by Jesper Pedersen, who started with Qt back when Qt was widgets only and the version was 1.44, which gives him 21 years of experience with Qt. Since 2000 he has taught almost 100 Qt classes, ranging from Qt Widgets to QML. Heck, Jesper even taught a few classes on QTopia Core — Trolltech's initial attempt at creating a phone stack.

Let's revisit Qt Designer once more, this time to discuss combo boxes. Mapping a QComboBox's entry to a specific value is easy in C++, but not so easy when the combo box is populated from within Qt Designer. How do we improve the situation?

Another tip in this series: how to use sessions in Qt Creator. If you find yourself working on a number of projects and you quickly want to switch between them, just use a different session for each one!

If you're submitting code for a review, there's nothing worse than getting nitpicked because you violated a style guideline of the project. If you're doing the code review, there's nothing more annoying than nitpicking on small code style inconsistencies. This is where clang-format can help you. Clang-format is a tool (based on the clang/LLVM compiler infrastructure) that can automatically reformat your source code. Not only can you run it manually to apply a given formatting, but you can set it up so that it automatically reformats the code when committing into git, or when saving in Qt Creator. The example code showcased in this video is available here: https://github.com/KDAB/kdabtv The video is presented by Jesper Pedersen, who started with Qt back when Qt was widgets only and the version was 1.44, which gives him 21 years of experience with Qt.

Remember this tip: when an application is being introspected by GammaRay, you can use Control + Shift + Mouse click on any of its widgets to select it for further inspection. This lets you check all the properties for the widget, its positioning, as well as simply get an answer to the question: of which class is this widget?

We know that we should use layouts to arrange chidren widgets inside a container widget. Layouts do the right thing for us, automatically, except when... they don't!

In this video we will explain how to install and use an extremely useful plugin for Qt Creator: the SpellChecker plugin, a 3rd party contribution. Do you wonder, why do we even need spell checking? The answer is pretty simple: when we use a GUI framework such as Qt, we are going to have many user-visible strings. It would be really silly to ship software containing spelling mistakes appearing on our users' screens, wouldn't it? And while word processors have implemented spell checking for decades, editors for programmers used to not have a similar feature... well, not any more! You can download the SpellChecker Plugin from https://github.com/CJCombrink/SpellChecker-Plugin The video is presented by Jesper Pedersen, who started with Qt back when Qt was widgets only and the version was 1.44, which gives him 21 years of experience with Qt.

Spell checking in Qt Creator

Sometimes a view would like to have more data for a cell than what is in a cell. Examples include: A view that offers special context menu entries if the cell contains an employee. The text in the cell itself might just be the employee's name, and from that alone, it would be very hard to come to the conclusion that the cell indeed holds an employee. A delegate that shows an annotation symbol (think cut of corner like in excel) if the data behind the cell is annotated. Again the cell text does not reveal this information. One way to implement this is for the view or delegate to reach out to the model in question using a regular function call, but that will break in case there are proxy models in between. This video shows how to obtain the effect by using custom roles.

Today Jesper holds a fancy business title, but that doesn't prevent him from coding both in his job and in his spare time.

Communicating between a View/Delegate and a Model

Sometimes a view would like to have more data for a cell than what is in a cell, examples includes:

A view that offer special context menu entries if the cell contains an employee. The text in the cell itself might just be the employees name, and from that alone it would be very hard to come to the conclusion that this the cell indeed holds an employee.

A delegate which shows an annotation symbol (think cut of corner like in excel) if the data behind the cell is annotated. Again the cell text do not reveal this information.

One way to implement this is for the view or delegate to reach out to the model in question using a regular function call, but that will break in case there are proxy models in between.

This video shows how to obtain the effect by using custom roles.

The example code showcased in this video is available here: https://github.com/KDAB/kdabtv

Got a stack of proxy models where there is a subtle bug somewhere in there? No worries --GammaRay to the rescue! It can visualize the stack of models for you, but there is one thing you better remember in your code --watch this video to find out what it is! 🙂 Link to download GammaRay: https://www.kdab.com/development-resources/qt-tools/gammaray/ The video is presented by Jesper Pedersen, who started with Qt back when Qt was widgets only and the version was 1.44, which gives him 21 years of experience with Qt.
