  • The Future of Qt as a C++ API

    I use Qt as a cross platform library for desktop applications. That's why I am still using QWidgets and not QML. Also, I do understand the use of QML for larger companies that have separate designers (we don't), but for the common C++ programmer it is not actually necessary. As a C++ programmer I would certainly support being able to use QML widgets right from C++ without actually requiring QML at all). As @Axel-Spoerl already mentioned it is unlikely that QWidgets will be abandoned any time soon. Even if it does happen, I am not to concerned. It would be still possible to continue open source development of a Qt fork. There have been interesting forks in the past (based on Qt 5). Verdigris (https://github.com/woboq/verdigris) tries to get rid of moc (by using macros) and still be ABI compatible with Qt. CopperSpice (https://www.copperspice.com/) takes a slightly different route and tries to use proper C++ code instead of macros. It is not ABI compatible with Qt. Also, they have reimplemented a few things which means it has diverged from Qt and you cannot just compile Qt code using CopperSpice anymore (I believe this worked initially). With the advent of reflection in C++26 (and hopefully more reflection features in C++29 that make it more usable) I do hope to see a change in Qt or something derived from it. This would certainly help us to get rid of the moc for good (without sacrificing any of the beloved syntax).

    @L0uisc The simple answer is that Qt must have have hundreds of classes and thousands of methods. You could add useful/utility features forever. There is no deep reason why one is offered but not another, other than popular usage. QInputDialog --- which by the way is not used that often --- is only really a convenience class on top of QDialog. Nothing wrong with your suggestion --- and you can always make those at https://bugreports.qt.io/, or offer to implement it yourself --- just TQtC probably has a million other things to do :)

    Hi and welcome to devnet, I don't have an answer to that issue. Sorry for that. But what exactly would you need ? The open source version might already cover your requirements.

    @markleo So you mean "projects" (or software) maintained and published by Qt? Or what "other projects"? If so, you forgot to mention Qt's C++ core framework as "Qt for Python" are bindings for Python based on the C++ Qt Framework. The PySide Python wrapper for Qt is developed by the Qt Group, however other implementations such as PyQt (by Riverbank) exist. If you are talking about things not developed by Qt... there are millions of side projects that evolve around Qt. For this check GitHub or similar platforms.

    Yes I did! Of course! But when I select "Edit profile" I can change : "full name", "website", "location", "birthday", "group title" and "about me" ... and I can't change "NazgulMood"... I can send you a screenshot of my "Edit profile" if you tell me how to do.
