Newbie questions: installation, setup, licences etc.
-
Hi all,
if my topics are in the wrong forum then just let me know.
Basically,
- I'll need only the GUI framework (and widgets) part of QT
- My programs will be commercial without source code.
- I'll only use QT in DLLs form.
- I use Windows and Visual Studio as dev OS and IDE and only Windows as target OSs.
- No company
I downloaded and ran the QT installer but I didn't finish the installation.
My questions:
- Do I need the commercial edition of QT?
- The last QT version for developing 32 bit programs is 5.15.2? Starting from 6.2.4 I can only develop 64bits programs. Right?
- Can I start developing with QT 6.5.2? Or should I use another version?
- During the installation of QT, it seems the only Visual Studio supported is 2019. Can I use QT with VS2022?
- After the installation and on Visual Studio on coding time, do I have a toolbox pane with all QT Widgets? Or is better to use QT Design/ Qt Creator for those?
Thanks you

Hi and welcome to devnet,
- No you can use the LGPL version of Qt provided you abide by the license constraints
- No, it should still be possible but you have to build Qt yourself
- Use the latest version available, so yes
- You can, Visual Studio has had backward compatibility since the 2017 version
- I don't remember that one, I always write them fully in code.

- Qt Designer and Qt Creator are two separate programs. Designer is part of your Qt installation, even if you don't have Creator. You can use Designer with Visual Studio to make .ui files for widgets. If you use the Qt VS Tools extension it even sets up an integration for that.

Thank you all.
I eventually installed QT, installed QT VS Tool under VS2022, configured both versions of QT, 6.5.2 and 5.15.2.
When I launched QT Designer however, it had the UI language set differently from English. I had, on Windows 10, three different keyboard layout available and QT Designer picked one. Apparently there is no options on the main menu of QT Designer to change it.
How can I change the UI Language of QT Designer?Thank you
Edited.
