Qt in Education

@calcualatexzy Dunno, as a beginner I just did it! :)

Hi again !

Thanks for the follow up. Since you have the contact about that matter, I would recommend that you suggest them to update the wording of this page because it's really not clear that the support is limited to RPi. The way it is phrase sounds rather like you have that in addition to the usual suspects.

@ZeeoTwo said in QtStringList is not a type error even when "Qt.labs.qmlmodels 1.0" is imported:

how can i fix this problem?

QStringList is a C++ class.

You are writing a QML file which is JavaScript.

Check there for the full list of QML types:

Thanks Everybody , all the replies helped me out :)

Okay i got it working.
I'm using Qt Vs Tools extension.
To make it work i had to open:
Extensions > Qt VS Tools > Qt Project Settings > Qt Project Settings (on the left) > Qt Modules
and inside that check QT Widgets.
I guess this is something like a pseudo .pro file or something.
and after including #include <QtWidgets/qapplication.h> inside main.cpp
and changing from QGuiApplication to QApplication inside main.cpp
everything worked, i got no errors and a chart.

Thank you for ur time @J-Hilk and @TomZ

QT Service

What is Qt Service?

Hi,

You might want to answer to our eLearning survey. :) More information here.

I am a student, currently working on a project. I have already applied for the student license but I haven't heard back from you

@sierdzio thank you. I wish there was a direct and easy way. I will search in QSettings

i cannot choose exactly where forum i can post

well, it looks like you chose twice! :-)

You have access to all what Qt Creator provides.

@nightrocker said in Qt Educational license:

Hello all,

Background information.
My question is regarding QT Educational License. I have got the "license number" (not the license file) from my professor for the latest LTS version. I am trying to install this on Ubuntu Linux 18. Currently, I have downloaded the commercial version.

Question
What are the steps I need to follow to associate these license number to the downloaded Qt?

You need to actually have a license file, but if you installed (as well as downloaded) the commercial version of Qt then you would have used a Qt Account to log in which found the license anyway. So it sounds like you have managed anyway, if you PM me the email address you used then I can at least check if that is correct for your needs.

A couple that I have toyed with (and contributed literally on the order of just "lines", less than 100 lines of code) to:

https://subsurface-divelog.org/

https://github.com/mavlink/qgroundcontrol

(I was able to use both those projects despite not having diving equipment nor drone equipment. There are ways to run the GUI applications without equipment or with test/simulated inputs.)

Others that I have been interested in but never got the time to experiment:

KDE Cantor (echoing what @SGaist said about KDE!) https://invent.kde.org/education/cantor

Webcamoid https://github.com/webcamoid/webcamoid

@Thomas-Stein said in Citing QT Docs:

Im a bit confused about who wrote the docs.

This is a bit tricky.

Often (but not always), the person who wrote the code also wrote the original documentation. However, other people could come along at a later time to improve the documentation

Im looking at the sourcecode of qimage.cpp. If I scroll down I can see the docs, but there is nothing about an author being mentioned, just the copyright header at the top for "The Qt Company Ltd."

Documentation and source code are often written in the same file.

Usually, copyright in the file is listed against the "main" contributor to that file. However, if a "secondary" contributor puts enough substantial work into a file, they might add their own name to the copyright list (e.g. https://github.com/qt/qtbase/blob/dev/src/corelib/thread/qreadwritelock_p.h )

Unfortunately, there is no hard-and-fast rule on this. A major contributor might decide not to (or forget to) list themselves as a copyright holder.

Am I safe to cite just "The Qt Company Ltd. " here as the author?

I think so. However, if you can clearly identify an individual who wrote the section that you're citing (e.g. by using git blame), citing them directly might be better.

I suggest talking to your supervisor to see if your university has guidelines on citing works that received input from a wide range of community members. (The answer to "How do I cite a page in the Qt documentation?" might be similar to the answer to "How do I cite a Wikipedia article?")

This is really good content, highly recommended!

@rootshell , we've been also working on some automatic transition tooling: https://doc-snapshots.qt.io/qt6-6.0/porting-to-qt6-using-clazy.html . I don't think it's mentioned in the course yet (which is understandable, given that we just started to document it). There'll be also a blog post about it.

It would be great to get feedback from you about this, too.
