GUI help

At first, excuse my English. I would like to make a GUI for the beginning. It should look like this

I needed to advise on how best to do it in qt creator. The question is: How to do for each button in the panel, next window.
I should create Multiple QMainWindow or otherwise. I want the panel to be in every link.
I hope you can advise me. Thanks

Hi,

Do you mean something like a QTabWidget ?

Hi, no. I think the GUI file for the game. both panels should have all the necessary links in it to open another window (on image 'window'). I need to link to a window from the panel.but I do not know how to split the window for each link.

So a bit like Qt Creator then ?

yes in Qt Creator. Qt Widget Application

I meant, like the GUI of Qt Creator, with the bar on the left with all the buttons and the central widget that changes depending on what you clicked on the bar ?

Yes, now I'm looking at it. And something like that

Finally, I do not know if it will look like this in the GUI final. But it's about learning how to have a central widget in more variants. If it works.

Hi
You should also have a look at
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qstackedwidget.html

It makes it easy to have a design where on part of the window can be turned
back and forth like pages in a book.
Each "page" is a normal widget and can contain other widgets.
So in effect it would be like many central widgets.

StackedWidget is a good idea. But I was wondering how to make more central widgets. I still thought how to make a panel. Do you have any instructions?

QStackedWidget is used as a "container widget" where you put all the other widgets you are going to use.

I would still have one question

it does not work with debug. how can I fix it?

@caca0o
hi
Seems you have chosen Qt for visual studio.
Did you also install the compiler from microsoft site ?
(or had it already installed)
Unlike the mingw version, the compiler is not included with Qt
and must be installed separately by user.

If yes, did you also install the debug tools?
for getting a debugger.

hi ... do you mean this link?

https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/windows-10-sdk

@caca0o
Hi
Nope, the actual compiler
https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/
If you dont want the whole IDE, you can use
http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools

If you dont need to use visual studio , you might consider removing the VS qt
and install the mingw Qt instead. It comes with compiler and debugger and is ready to go.

Tool is located in
"C:\Qt\MaintenanceTool.exe"
