This is Part 2 of a 2-lecture/lab introduction to C++ and GUI programming with Qt. Part 1 can be found here.

Main References

What is Qt?


  • Qt is a cross-platform application framework
that is widely used for developing application software with graphical user interface (GUI) (in which case Qt is referred to as a widget toolkit when used as such)


  • Qt uses standard C++
but makes extensive use of a special code generator (called the Meta Object Compiler, or moc)


  • Qt can also be used in several other programming languages
via language bindings.


  • It runs on all major platforms


  • Non-GUI features include


    • SQL database access,


    • XML parsing,


    • thread management,


    • network support,


    • and a unified cross-platform API for file handling.


  • GNU Lesser General Public License, Qt is free and open source
