It offers simple ways of doing common tasks when writing a + Qt application. + + \tableofcontents + + \section1 How to install the Visual Studio Integration Plugin + + When you install Qt, the integration plugin should be installed for you, + however, sometimes this does not happen, so to install the integration + plugin manually just carry out the following steps. + + \list + \i Start up Visual Studio. + \i Select Tools|Customize|Add-ins and Macro Files. + \i Ensure that there is a tick next to QMsDev Developer Studio Add-In. + \i Click Close. + \endlist + + Now the integration plugin should be installed. If this doesn't + work, then contact Qt technical support giving details of + what went wrong. + + \section1 How to uninstall the Visual Studio Integration Plugin + + When you want to uninstall the integration plugin, just carry out the + following steps. + + \list + \i Close down any instances of Visual Studio. + \i Delete the file '%MSDevDir%\\addins\\qmsdev.dll' + \endlist + + \section1 What can the Visual Studio Integration Plugin do? + + The integration plugin adds the following options to Visual Studio: + + \list + \i New Qt Project + \i New Qt Dialog + \i Qt Designer + \i Open Qt Project + \i Write Qt Project + \i Use Qt In Current Project + \i Add MOC + \endlist + + \section2 Using the 'New Qt Project' button + + The 'New Qt Project' button allows you to create a simple Qt project + ready for development. Simply fill in the form and if you select + 'Dialog' or 'Main Window' without MDI support then it will + automatically start up \e{Qt Designer}. When you have finished with + the form in \e{Qt Designer} just save it and it will appear in a + ready made Qt project. + + If you select 'Main Window' with 'MDI Support' then it will simply + give you a code skeleton in a project ready for you to populate with + your own code. + + \section2 Using the 'New Qt Dialog' button + + The 'New Qt Dialog' button works in two ways: You can use it to create a new + dialog for your project; or you can use it to insert an existing + dialog into your project. + + If you want to create a new dialog then all you need to do is specify where + the dialog file should be saved and give it a name. This will start up + \e{Qt Designer} to allow you to design your new dialog, and will add it to + the existing project. + + If you want to add an existing dialog to your project, then just select the + relevant UI file. This will then add it to your existing project and add + the relevant steps to create the generated code. + + \section2 Using the 'Qt Designer' button + + The 'Qt Designer' button simply starts up \e{Qt Designer}, it has no ties to + your existing project so whatever you do with it will not affect your + existing projects. It can also be started up by using the Ctrl+Shift+D key + combination in Visual Studio. + + \section2 Using the 'Open Qt Project' button + + The 'Open Qt Project' button allows you to convert an existing \c + qmake project file into a \c .dsp file which you can insert into + your existing workspace. When you click the 'Open Qt Project' + button, just select an existing \c qmake project file (a \c .pro + file) and then click OK. You will get a message box at the end + which asks you to insert the newly created \c .dsp file into your + existing workspace. + + \section2 Using the 'Write Qt Project' button + + The 'Write Qt Project' button creates a \c qmake project (\c .pro) + file for your current project so that you can easily copy the files + onto another platform and be able to use \c qmake to create a Makefile + on that other platform. All you need to do is make the project you + want to create a \c .pro file for, and click on the button. Just + name your \c qmake project file and click Save. + + \section2 Using the 'Use Qt In Current Project' button + + The 'Use Qt In Current Project' button simply adds in the necessary + information for the current project so that it links against Qt and + sets any other settings needed to use Qt in that project. + + \section2 Using the 'Add MOC' button + + The 'Add MOC' button will add in the custom build step for the selected file + so that it creates any needed MOC files and it will add these generated + files to the project. All you need to do to use it is click on a file that + has Q_OBJECT and click the button. + + You only need to use this button if you added a file that has + Q_OBJECT in it by hand, you don't need to use this if you used any + of the previously mentioned buttons. It can also be invoked by using + the \key{Ctrl+Shift+M} key combination in Visual Studio. + +*/ |
