mPro (formerly Migari) is a comprehensive software system for the management, monitoring and automation of precision measurement systems in the context of quality control. It can integrate a wide variety of measurement hardware and buses and is programmable and extensible by the integrator and end user. This is necessary as such systems are generally custom […]
QNX CAR is a framework for building In-Vehicle Infotainment systems, including: the QNX OS a powerful mobile connectivity framework a best-in-class acoustic, noise reduction, and hands-free solution an HMI framework supporting HTML5, Qt, and other native UI toolsets. Using Qt5 on QNX, we created a mock-up of a modern interface for a sailing boat, to […]
Quick overview of profiling tools QtQuick is often used to create UIs for embedded devices. One SoC that is quite popular at the moment is the i.MX 6 board from Freescale, with its Vivante GC2000 or GC880 3D GPU. Performance on such a device matters, users expect a fluid interaction. With the QML Profiler, Qt […]
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 […]
Update: Here you have also the Chinese version, thanks goes to Foruok. In the last two Qt on Android episodes we learned how to use basic JNI on Android and how to use an external IDE to easily manage the Java part. In this episode, it is time to move forward and focus on extending […]
Qt is a native library at the heart. As a native (C++) library, it already outperforms most higher-level language libraries when it comes to startup performance. But if you're using native languages, you usually do so because you need to get the most out of the available hardware and being just fast may not be […]
Right from the start, we at KDAB have had lots of fun playing a leading role – and as the Qt experts, we look forward to continuing to contribute to the growing Qt community. As a toast to the next 20 years of fun and success, we are combining the company meeting, this year here […]
The multimedia layer in Qt contains various possibilities for including streaming video in your QtQuick applications - most commonly there's the Video element, which you include in your QML interface, specifying the source URL, playback options and so on. Unfortunately, on iOS you'll discover a limitation: the backend for QtMultimedia only supports window-level integration. In […]
Update: Here you have also the Chinese version, thanks goes to Foruok. In the last Qt on Android episode we learned the basics of JNI on Android in a Qt way. In this episode I'd like to focus on tools that will help us to be more productive when we extend our Qt on Android […]
Trading communication market leader IPC created revolutionary dealer boards by using the Qt software library Stock exchanges are some of the most stressful working environments where shares worth millions of Euros/Dollars are traded within milliseconds. Naturally, brokers and stock traders rely on state-of-the-art communications and trading systems to ensure constant availability and reliability of information […]
It has been very quiet around WEC platform support in Qt, and you would have been forgiven for thinking that nothing was happening. But behind the scenes, we have been tackling some pretty hard issues. We just did not blog about the ongoing work……until now. Be assured that the platform is still maintained and there […]
A technical overview of Qt's mobile platform support covering Android, iOS, and Windows Store development. Details implementation architectures, native integration methods, Qt Quick Controls for mobile UI, cross-platform WebView solutions, and complete deployment workflows for publishing Qt applications to mobile app stores.
This presentation introduces the jobs of DIY moc and sheds light on an obstacle that might occur when using dynamic languages, such as QML.
Use QML for its extensible type system. QML offers a simple, yet powerful way for creating and using a custom domain-specific language.
Lately, the engineers have been hard at work on improving this platform, making it one of the most actively developed modules. After we changed the JavaScript engine last year, this year’s development focus has been three-fold: The garbage.
A conversion tool that automatically generates QML code from Qt Designer UI files, enabling seamless migration from widget-based applications to QML frameworks. Preserves all UI elements, actions, and signal-slot connections while supporting both Declarative Widgets and Qt Quick Controls output formats.
A technical demonstration of implementing a custom polar positioner in Qt Quick for declarative circular layouts. Shows how to extend Qt's positioning system with C++ to eliminate repetitive mathematical calculations when arranging UI elements like clock ticks and gauge markers around circles.
A technical demonstration of implementing CSS-style theming in QML applications, featuring cascading stylesheets, dynamic theme switching, and attached properties. This custom solution addresses the scalability issues of traditional QML theming approaches while maintaining designer-developer workflow separation.
An experimental implementation of Node.js require() functionality in QML JavaScript, demonstrating how to use npm modules like Underscore.js directly in Qt applications. This proof-of-concept enables familiar Node.js-style modularization for QML developers.
A guide to bridging Qt 5 applications with native iOS and Android functionality, covering native function calls, callbacks, custom view integration, and application lifecycle management. Demonstrates practical solutions for accessing platform-specific services while maintaining Qt's cross-platform approach.
