General and Desktop

Have a look a the "Main window example":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/demos-mainwindow.html, in particular "toolbar.cpp":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/demos-mainwindow-toolbar-cpp.html.

thanks for your suggestions, I'm going to implement it from scratch :)

O man I'm embarrassed, I accidentally deleted those functions, please disregard this.

Yes this is a subclass of QTextEdit. I do see that I have to do all the blinky cursor stuff myself. QPlainTextEdit has a really nice convenience function called getPaintContext that handles the state of the cursor for you, wish they had the same call in QTextEdit. oh well.

try this: @ bool readXmlFile(QIODevice &device, QSettings::SettingsMap &map); bool writeXmlFile(QIODevice &device, const QSettings::SettingsMap &map); int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { const QSettings::Format XmlFormat = QSettings::registerFormat("xml", readXmlFile, writeXmlFile); QSettings settings(XmlFormat, QSettings::UserScope, "MySoft", "Star Runner"); ... }@

how about using these style attributes in a stylesheet? selection-color and selection-background-color would that solve your problem. I'm able to set my choice of colors here ...

Wierd, works for me. All I do is add the Q_OBJECT macro and save the file and it generates everything needed to compile, both on 2010 and 2008....

I think you know that the setToolButtonStyle() can only set the icon position wrt the text. e.g. the "folder" icon for the File->Open ... not to be confused with menu arrow position. From what I've seen, I don't think by default you can set the menu arrow position to a different location using stylesheet. Check this "faq":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/faq/answer/how_can_i_draw_custom_subcontrols_for_a_complex_control on a similar example on how to draw custom sub controls for a complex control

I have read this documentation - but experimenting with static linking takes a lot of time (i.e. you need to completely rebuild Qt) - and it does not build WebKit when you do configure -static. As I am not sure if it is really doable, I wonder if somebody could try to build it if he already have the configured information.

well i didnt post a complete code solution, i only mentioned a thread that sleeps a bit in every loop

I created a new "forum topic":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/1105/ that has link to published sources.

so would the solution be ... if the pixmap size is smaller than the current label size, then call setGeometry on the dialog based on the pixmap size? also if not programatically, then one can use the setSizeGripEnabled on the dialog I think.

No, 'just' canghe the connection string, or maybe you can use ODBC for connection.

Note to all who had this problem, update Qt via the ubuntu repository, and you may or may not need to restart for it to take effect, but this bug is fixed.

Yes, the cmd shell does obviously not support Latin1. I can change the font using the chcp command, but no avaiable font matches Latin1. But QT supports encoding to the console encoding, which is "IBM 850" in my case. What I need is a method that tells me the current encoding of the console font, so I can set the correct encofing in my program.

It could be possible by either accessing your display driver/framebuffer directly or you can have your customized paint engine. bq. To render outside of Qt's paint system, e.g., if you require native painting primitives, you need to reimplement QWidget::paintEngine().

Excellent discussion! Thanks for all the options. There's a few other conditions I have on this problem, but looks solvable at a much higher level than I'm using.

Unless you mean a tool bar or the status bar, this is in general not possible since the title bar is outside of Qt's control (it is provided by the window manager). There may be platform-specific solutions for adding things to the title bar though. At least I've seen applications that appear to do that on Windows and Mac. But you would have to use the platform API for that.

You will need a font for the languages you want to use. If such a font is provided then Qt can render "most of the world's writing systems". This refers to being able to do all the complex arranging of the individual bits and pieces found in the font file correctly.

QtSvgRenderer also fails to load the CSS if the SVG uses relative path to the CSS. Have logged a bug "here":http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-14043
