    It may be difficult to find such a technical book in Braille. I had a look but came up empty. You can find a copy of "C++ gui programming with qt4 2nd edition" in .chm.

    https://github.com/sherlock/qt?files=1

    I think your screen reader should be ok to read epub? If so you could pickup most textbooks from amazon or something.

    I tried searching for the .chm file "C++ gui programming with qt4 2nd
    edition" on the link you provided, but it says "No Matching Files Found". Where do I go next?

        I downloaded the .chm file, but now when I attempt to read any of the topics, it seems there's nothing in them. Is there something wrong with the file?

          Hi
          Yes it seems that at least on windows 10, only the toc is there -
          nothing is shown when you click on a topic.

          If pdf is ok, here is direct link

            Sorry if I provided a bad link. (Didn't really download to check it).
            See if your screen reader can read epubs ok. And you can find all you need on amazon. (Alternate outlets are available too.)

              1. This machine I'm on is Windows XP.
              2. My screenreader doesn't read PDF's.
              3. What are EPubs?
              4. Would I have to pay to find it on Amazon? If so, how much?

                Would finding a pdf that would read her all the text from a basic C++ book work?

                Then use Jaws to google examples or terms that she doesn't understand?

                EPUB is an e-book file format with the extension .epub that can be downloaded and read on devices like smartphones, tablets, computers, or e-readers.

                  Which book of Basic C++ are you thinking of? PDF's in general don't work with my screenreader. .chm's, .txt's, and .doc's work just fine.

                    Excuse my jumping in. I am not a Qt professional, but I have been following this thread.

                    I hope you find success in however you approach programming. Even for a fully-sighted person C++ can be a bit daunting! May I suggest you have a brief look at this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/3274617/489865, from a blind person reporting success with C++. There are also interesting posts in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/118984/how-can-you-program-if-youre-blind

                      Sorry, I hope that my reply it isn't off topic.
                      If you have and idea about an application to write and you think that it will be have a business or you already have customers that have asked for it don't worry.
                      You can design the ui (that it is easy) and you can ask to someone that knows C++ to write the code for you.
                      In the past I had a customer that did somehing like this.

                        1. I know how to write some of the code. It's the compiling part that I have trouble with. Also, I want to find a .chm help file that explains more of the codes of the Qt programming language in detail.
                        2. I haven't even started my company, so I don't have any customers as of this moment.

                          @Annabelle I can't help you with the chm part, but if you need help compiling I can help you figure out both qmake and cmake. Cmake being my preferred method of building Qt projects.

                          I build everything command line and rarely use IDEs. That sounds exactly what you're looking for if you are using notepad++ and just need a command line build.

                            @ambershark this topic was already covered. From context that she has used "compile" in various times I think she means that she isn't sure how to "fit all the pieces" together to get her code working.

                              JAWS is really good with the command line method. What are the commands I should put in when compiling my program?

                                @Annabelle Sorry, I was at work when I made my initial response to this thread. A more elaborate answer for you follows as I take it you are beginning in Qt and it may be difficult for you to look up resources.

                                Given the scope of your project I think it will suffice to use a simple Qmake project file such as:

                                myapp.pro

                                TEMPLATE = app
                                
                                QT += widgets
                                
                                SOURCES += main.cpp \
                                    MainWindow.cpp \
                                    SpouseWidget.cpp
                                
                                HEADERS += \
                                    MainWindow.h \
                                    SpouswWidget.h

                                You may need to make changes to this in order to fit the needs of your project, but this should be a good enough example for you.

                                Once you have this in place, you can open up your favorite Command Line Interface (eg. cmd.exe for Windows).

                                Type:

                                qmake myapp.pro
                                make
                                

                                Your compiler will generate a binary file for your application at this point.

                                I hope this helps,
                                Have fun.

                                @Annabelle Sorry, I was at work when I made my initial response to this thread. A more elaborate answer for you follows as I take it you are beginning in Qt and it may be difficult for you to look up resources.

                                Given the scope of your project I think it will suffice to use a simple Qmake project file such as:

                                myapp.pro

                                TEMPLATE = app
                                
                                QT += widgets
                                
                                SOURCES += main.cpp \
                                    MainWindow.cpp \
                                    SpouseWidget.cpp
                                
                                HEADERS += \
                                    MainWindow.h \
                                    SpouswWidget.h
                                
                                OTHER_FILES += \
                                    anyotherfile.png

                                  The above was posted four days ago. You have not compiled and tested your program at all?

                                    No I haven't compiled and tested my program yet. I'm still writing up the code. I'm wondering if there's a .chm help file out there, which will list all the available possibilities for parameters like buttons, checkboxes, radiobuttons, tooltips, infotips, comboboxes, and edit boxes (both single line and multi line).

                                      @Annabelle I struggled to find a .chm for you. But the best place you can look for help with the SDK is the official documentation: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/

                                      Check out:
                                      http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwidgets-module.html
                                      You will find what you need in relation to Radio Buttons, tooltips etc..

                                        @Annabelle My suggestion would be to start small. Split your project up into small pieces rather than look at it as a whole. I would use a Qwizard and make pages with the ability to select options and those options give out the results you are looking for.

                                        I would get some Ebooks on C++ and learn the basics. Start with console applications and learn the basics of what you are trying to do. Make a text story with options and results base on what is written in the command prompt. Little stuff like this will help you understand the basics of programming.

                                        When it comes to QT your gonna have to learn it from the ground up. Learn about the main..

                                          So for example, in the Wedding Elements Page of the wizard, there are checkboxes with different titles, and I want to give a description of what each title means. Would I give it as a "QToolTip", or a "QWhatsThis"? The following is an example in HTML of one of the Checkboxes. The part that says "<span Data-tooltip" is the part where I need help converting to Qt, and is the part where I'm confused on which widget to choose, either QToolTip or QWhatsThis.

                                          							<label class="checkbox">
                                          								<span data-tooltip="It is required by law that a wedding ceremony include a Declaration of Intent to marry between the two individuals electing to join in the marriage contract." This can be in the form of an "I Do", where the minister/officiant asks questions to the soon-to-be married couple beginning with "Do you", and in turn, the couple answers "I do". Or it can be in the form of an "I Will", where the minister/officiant asks questions to the soon-to-be married couple beginning with "Will you", and in turn, the couple answers "I will.".>
                                          									<input checked="checked" value="declarationOfIntent" id="elements-declaration-of-intent" type="checkbox">
                                          									Declaration of Intent
                                          								</span>
                                          							</label>
