Using the Qt Charts Module in Visual Studio 2015

[toll]

Hi there,

I would like to use the Qt Charts Module ( found under http://doc.qt.io/QtCharts/index.html ).
I am using Visual Studio 2015 with the Qt5 Plugin and the Qt 5.6 RC installation.
As far as I know there are no .qml files to edit. Instead the used modules should be selected in the "Qt Project Settings" . My problem is, that there is no option for the Qt Charts Module, so how do I get it working then?

Kind regards,

Tobi

@toll welcome to devnet Qt
i think QtChart is not supported in Qt opensource version
it is supported in commercial project.
which Qt do you have?

For Qt 5.6 you can use QtCharts but you need to compile it on your own. From Qt5.7 its gonna be combilled in binaries. So you need to grab a source and do it on your own.

Checked it and it works for Linux, Android and iOS.

Thank you, I am using the opensource version of Qt.

Can I compile this module on my own?

@mrjj Yes, just compile it for your platform and it should work. But I've never checked this on windows.
