Need Help for tabs in title bar
-
What do u think about ribbon ui ? it can be widget ?
-
Sure. You can even buy an "implementation":http://www.devmachines.com/qtitanribbon-overview.html of it for Qt. I've run some tests with it, and it seems to work nicely.
-
I might be wrong but weren't there some MS restrictions as to where you can use ribbon ui? E.g. not in MS competing products (text editors, data sheets etc.)?
-
There are. See the comment on the bottom of the page I linked to:
[quote]Remarks on the licensing Ribbon UI
If you create an application that uses QtitanRibbon components, you must agree to a licensing agreement with Microsoft for the Ribbon UI before you can deploy your application. You receive no rights in the Ribbon UI from Developer Machines. You can request a license from Microsoft at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/aa973809/.[/quote] -
Thank u Andre for your expert Guidance. Can you help me on my problem. I still haven't solve it completely.
Please -
You'll have to be more specific on what your (remaining) problems are than that to get usable answers...

ok
I am developing a document reader application for my college project using QT.
For that i trying to achieve the user interface same as chrome ( having tabs in title bar with new tab button and each tab has its own tool bar). I am trying to achieve this in cross platform manner so that i can develop and deploy the application on Windows, Mac os x and Linux.
this is my problem that how can i do this using qt ? -
As you were told before: there is no cross-platform way to do this. Drawing in the client-area (as it is called on windows at least) is not supported by Qt.

Thank u for answer. I am changing my layout as i don't have enough time to implement it effectively. Instead of drawing tabs on window border i am drawing them inside the window as i draw in following frame

is this will be cross platform with qt ? -
-
Sure, that should be easy to get cross platform. As long as you use normal widgets and don't do OS specific code, it should be completely cross platform.
