With C++ the QComboBox widget or with Qt Quick the ComboBox QML type.

Hi
What is the finished script ?
Should it be a document with formatting ?
Or can a text format do it ?There is the QTextEdit Class that can display rich text but what format would the end user want to have the script in ?

Hi and welcome
You can also create widgets directly from code, using normal c++.So to create a button
one would simply do
QButton *mybutt= new QButton(this);Creator uses UI files which are xml files.
It then reads and convert these to c++ code.
So there is no text syntax as such for creating interfaces in text.You could in theory write the UI syntax directly, but it is most likely not
very fun.Many do not use Creator / Designer at all and write the code directly so yes, it is
very possible to do.So the "*mybutt" part of the "QButton *mybutt= new QButton(this);" code is where I would type a name for the button? For example, QButton *Next= new QButton(this);
How about for radio buttons and checkboxes? -
There's QRadioButton and QCheckBox.

When I create those widgets, how would I name them? For example, how would I translate the following code into Qt Widgets?
<label class="radio"><input checked="checked" name="basicInfo[spouse_one]" value="woman" type="radio"> Bride</label> <label class="radio"><input name="basicInfo[spouse_one]" value="man" type="radio"> Groom</label></br> -

Isn't a "text edit" something the user would write into? For example, when they get to Step 19, which asks the customer to write what they want to choose for the "Introductory Music", "Interlude Music" which can be played at any time during the ceremony, and "Exit Music", those would be separate multiline edit boxes. The finished document would be one that's not editable, so a plain text format would do. The hard part for me would be how I would notate the widgets for paragraphs and sections.

How would I translate this example of checkboxes into Qt Widgets? Also, how would I make the tooltips of these checkboxes be spoken as "tutor messages" by a screenreader?

You can set a tooltip on widgets.
If you'd like something different for the accessibly description there's a property for that too. By default it uses what you put in the tool tip.
From your description it seems your application could make use of QFormLayout to put your "wedding editor" in shape.

For the "Baptism Ceremony Builder" part of my Ceremony script generator, how would I make a single-line edit box who's label changes depending on which radio button is selected. For example, if the "Infant" or "Child" radio button is selected, the edit box would be named "Child", and if either "Youth" or "Adult" is selected, the same edit box would be named "Participant". This is of course where the customer would put the name of the child/participant being presented in the baptism/christening/dedication/naming ceremony. Same thing goes for the boxes named "Parent 1" (or "Sponsor 1") and "Parent 2" (or "Sponsor 2"). Also, how would I automatically fill in gender appropriate nouns and pronouns in the finished text based on the gender selected (Male or Female)?

That's where signals and slots comes into play. For each control proposing a choice you will have a slot that will modify your UI based on the state/choice of the control that was just modified.

I would appreciate if you could please be so kind as to give me an example of code as to what this will look like. Also, here's a bit of an example of Qt widget code I've put together. Please tell me if this looks right. If there's anything I need to change in my code, please let me know.
QButtonGroup QRadioButton *button = new QRadioButton ("Bride", this); QRadioButton *button = new QRadioButton ("Groom", this); QLineEdit *lineEdit = new QLineEdit ("Spouse 1 Name", this); QButtonGroup QRadioButton *button = new QRadioButton ("Bride", this); QRadioButton *button = new QRadioButton ("Groom", this); QLineEdit *lineEdit = new QLineEdit ("Spouse 2 Name", this); QPushButton *button = new QPushButton ("Back", this); QPushButton *button = new QPushButton ("Next", this); -
@SGaist said in Qt Programming Language:
Do you want to build something like a QWizard ?
I guess you could say that. Then when customers come to the last step, the "Download" button would be like the "Finish" button of an Installation Program if you like. So when customers click the "Download" button, a finished document appears on their screen. Then there could be a "Print" button, and a "Save" button.

There's something that is not exactly clear. Do you want to write an application that people install on there computer to generate these scripts ? Or should they go to some sort of web site ?

It's the former. I want to build an application that people install on their computer.
