<![CDATA[How to develop plugin UI components for a Qt GUI application]]>We want to create an GUI application which will have different modules/functions/components. Each of them is not depended on each other. But not all of those modules/functions/components are needed in different cases/users. All of them have a GUI for user to interact with. We may use Qt Widgets to develop out application.

We are thinking to make them as plugin components. It is new to me. I think I can do it in Java Swing with a property file and available classes files to plug (dynamically) or unplug a component.

How about in Qt/C++? the same with a property file and available dll in window? So I need a separated Qt Creator project to create dll for each of them? How about the interfaces?

Any suggestion/link will be appreciated.

Have a look at this "example":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/tools-plugandpaint.html

It should give you a good starting point
