Oh my, how time flies by! One month ago, I had the pleasure to travel to Bellevue, Washington, to attend CppCon 2015. It was a blast, and as a C++ developer, easily the best conference I ever attended. Below, I try to summarize my personal highlights of the talks I attended live. Note however that there were up […]

How to integrate OpenGL code with Qt Quick 2 applications (part 1)
The Qt World Summit was a rocking blast! More than 800 delegates, two days packed with sessions (and an additional training day presented by KDAB). Many old faces, lots of new ones, and a packed programme of sessions with terrific technical content. Yours truly also happened to give a talk, “Integrating OpenGL with Qt Quick […]

Qt 5.6 with support for Windows Embedded Compact 2013 KDAB presents Qt 5.6 with support for Windows Embedded Compact 2013
It has been a few months since my last update about the Windows Embedded Compact (WEC) port of Qt. But as I promised last time, I have been working on the WEC2013 support for Qt. Not only because it’s the new embedded platform from Microsoft, but also because Qt wants to adopt more C++11 in […]
How to use static analysis to improve performance
It’s usually said “only improve performance where a profiler tells you to“. I don’t completely agree. Take a big C++ library like Qt: can you profile all classes and all code paths ? It would take a couple of years to accomplish and analyse the results. It’s expensive: It usually only happens if the speed-up […]

Qt Input Method – Virtual Keyboard Implementing an out-of-process virtual keyboard for text input in Qt apps
In the last episode of this blog series we learned about the overall concepts of input methods in Qt, with a look behind the scenes to see how a key press event from the native windowing system travels through the Qt input stack until it appears on screen inside a QLineEdit. In that context, the input method […]
Qt and KDAB at CppCon 2015
For years now I have been watching the video recordings of talks from various C++ conferences across the globe. As a developer, they are an invaluable source of information and inspiration. I have fond memories of watching GoingNative 2012 in a live stream with some colleagues of mine in our office in Berlin. But, over the years, […]
