Yes, of course. We don't use QtCreator at all, just express edition of VisualStudio(2005 to 2013) and of course XCode(3.5 to 6). You can use Qt libraries/framework exactly the same way you use any other library. Of course for moc, uic, rcc you need to create custom build tools on both VC and XCode. Check documentation for moc/uic/rcc for calling them from command line
For example:
"moc command line":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/moc.html#command-line-options

For creating custom build tools there are a lot of tutorials on the web ...

Still, qmake can generate VS solutions as well. Note that you can also use the VS compiler from within Creator, if that is what you are after.

Ah, I think you have your terms mixed up, Qt Creator is an IDE, RAD is a development process (which is why I struggled to make sense of the abbreviation in your initial post :) )

I wonder, is there a tutorial somewhere that you might know of?

PS. I'm curious, but what does RAD stand for? :)
