Posts about Qt, for feeds like planetqt and planetkde
Qt provides a rich set of high-quality, cross-platform APIs, but can't cover every possible use case. KDE has created code to fill these gaps in its many projects, sharing these libraries as KDE Frameworks.
This 3-part blog series shows in detail how to get up to speed with a Qt project using Visual Studio Code. Part 3 further integrates Qt into VS Code with syntax highlighting, Qt Creator quick switch and more…
These are some really cool or obfuscated code snippets for your amusement. We didn’t want to rate them, so the order doesn’t mean anything at all 🙂 Just to make sure that there’s no misunderstanding: This code really is/was in the Qt or KDE repositories. From Kivio, main.cpp From Qt 2.2.1 (src/canvas/qcanvas.cpp) Writing code that […]
GammaRay 2.11.3 has been released! GammaRay is KDAB’s software introspection tool for Qt applications. Leveraging the QObject introspection mechanism, it allows you to observe and manipulate your application at runtime. This works both locally on your workstation and remotely on an embedded target. Version 2.11.3 will be the last in the 2.11 series. After this […]
CppCon is the annual, week-long face-to-face gathering for the entire C++ community – the biggest C++ event in the world. This year, CppCon takes place both Online and at the Gaylord Rockies Hotel and Convention Center in Aurora, Colorado. KDAB is a Registration sponsor, and Ivan Čukić is offering a talk on Wednesday, October 27th […]
Qt provides both a Wayland platform to run Qt applications as Wayland clients in a Wayland compositor and a library to build that, but only on Linux. The WSL subsystem makes that possible on Windows.
In Qt 5.10, we added support for recursive filtering in QSortFilterProxyModel, which means keeping all parents of items matching the filter. One of the comments in the blog post about that feature was “Sometimes, you do not only want to show parents for a match (so the match is visible), you may (also) want to […]
KDAB will be Gold sponsors at this year’s free online edition of Qt World Summit on November 3rd, 2021. Our very own Jesper Pedersen will present his talk “Qt Productivity tips – highlights from Qt Widgets and More”. Don’t miss out! Join developers, designers, managers, and executives to get inspired by the latest developments with […]
If you ever need to create a project around a single C++ file (or just a few C++ files) in CMake, as you might for quick test cases, you might find it tedious to write a CMakeLists.txt file by hand every time. To make this easier, I’ve written a script called cmake-project that you can […]
In 2019, I optimized QStringList::removeDuplicates() by using std::pmp::unordered_set with a std::pmr::monotonic_buffer_resource, when available. The class that I wrote to encapsulate this optimization has since been re-implemented three times. The latest iteration has recently landed in KDToolBox. If you have code that looks a bit like this: then you should read on.
