Newbie cannot create project (invoke QY Designer) using Qt Creator 2.8.1 standalone on OSX 10.7.5
-
I have installed Qt Creator 2.8.1 (Standalone) on my MAC (OSX 10.7.5), using the (qt-creator-mac-opensource-2.8.1.dmg) package installer; with the sole intention of using Qt designer to create Qt Widget interfaces, that I will populate with PyQt code.
I have successfully installed and use PyQt4, so I know Qt works on my machine. However when I try to create a project using creator I cannot find the Qt Widget template, I have a screen shot of the problem that I can provide if required.
So I have three questions...
-
Is there a way to run QtDesigner as a standalone program to generate template code for the GUI to be designed? If the answer is "yes" how do I invoke QtDesigner.
-
How do I overcome the missing QtWidget template to use QtCreator.
-
What is the purpose of Python in the template? Will this allow me to program in Python3.x in QtCreator? I thought QtCreator is only for C++?
I apologize for asking such rudimentary questions, but I'm new to this.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi and welcome to devnet,
-
If you have Qt installed (unless it's only a lib build) you have Qt Designer with it. Use spotlight with the key word Designer
-
You probably don't have any Qt version registered with Qt Creator. Go in Preferences, Build and Run, Qt Version and add there you're installed Qt then make a Kit with it. You should have now the QtWidget template.
-
Haven't tested it yet, but you can give it a spin. AFAIK, you have at least highlighting provided for python but I don't know if there's more to it.
Hope it helps

First thing to do is is to add the Qt version, then when you create the kit, there's a combo box to choose which version you want to use for the kit.

Did you add Designer Form ? Or a Designer Form Class ?
