Whats the best way? Forms or projects?
-
Hi, I am new in QT5 and I have a question
Which is better: Multiple forms linked to just one project or multiple projects with a small quantities of forms? -
hi and welcome
It really depends on the project/task
There is nothing bad having many forms in a project.A common structure for a desktop app is to have a qmainwindow and then
some forms used as dialogs.If some of the files of a huge project is reused in other projects.
one might also make it a separate project with own forms as to keep it as easy to reuse module. -
I am "converting" a project from Access to QT5 and this project have about 150 forms, what do you suggest?

Hi
In such case, I assume all forms belongs to same core concept so splitting it into
mutiple project would not really give any benefits.So one master projects with all forms, is what I would suggest.
Maybe its possible to re-use some of the forms as Qt is more flexible
than the ACCESS version i have tried. (GUI wise)
So you might not end up with 150 again.Can I ask about navigation of the current Access app?
Is it like a master window and you open dialogs over it or
does the master window have mutiple pages and
each "page" you open dialogs? -

The master window have multiples pages and each page open dialogs@stetstefano
hi
you should have a look at
QStackedWidget
it makes it easy to have "pages"
with different controls.
So that as center in a mainwindow and then dialogs
would most likely suit you well.
