    Hello,
    I want to try QT on a mini project to see if it can suit our need for our real project but i have some questions :)

    For a desktop application and taking into account that i will use QT 5.6 , should i use QT Quick2 or QT widget ?

    The real project where qt could be use is currently a C++ MFC app with lot of custom views (very few native widget).
    Most of the logic code is already written in multiplateform C++11 (thread,socket,use management, etc...) so qt will only be used for the UI.

    I've read this 4 years old topic but i guess Qt quick has evolved since.
    --edit--
    According to the documentation Qt quick seems to be a good choice , any drawbacks ?

    I'd rather not use Qt Creator for C++. Is it possible ? On Windows we use VS2015 and Clion (or netbeans) on Linux. I could use QT creator for designing UI if it's mandatory but i want to stick to other IDE for the daily coding.
    Any link or tutorial on the procedure would be greatly appreciated :)

    Thanks for your help ;)

      Hi

      • QT Quick or QT widget ?
        well considering how much is already c++ and app sound like
        real desktop program, then i vote for widget.
        Using QML for interface would add a new layer over the views if to exist in
        c++ and even that brings good separation it is more work and maintenance.

        There are full support for some versions of VS. Im pretty sure you can
        use VS for most.
