Qt controls in QML
-
Hello,
Can I use the Qt controls in QML? Something like the Windows Forms controls in WPF ( "http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms742875.aspx":http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms742875.aspx )?
Regards

Qt Components does not provide this today and should not be recommended yet to be used in applications, as it's still under heavy development and there is no guarantee of either API and features.
Alternatives (not ideal, I know):
- Encapsulate those controls in QGraphicsProxyWidgets then export them as Components to be used in QML
- Create a QML based control, with a QOBject as model (this one could be the basis for a future Qt-Components part)
Yes, if you want to contribute with Qt-Components, you're welcome! In the second link posted by Alexander you'll find information about the project and how to be part of it. :-)

Do you recommend to use the current Qt controls in QML or just create those again in QML from scratch?[/quote]Well, if you have enough time and resources, I would recommend creating them in QML (of course with parts in C++).
But this is my opinion based on the experience I had mixing QWidgets with QML - you'll face some issues, e.g. input focus stuff, etc.

Stupid question: What is a control? Is that how widgets are called on windows?

Tobias, yeah, something like that. Came from MFC or something near it.
