Creating Your Own Qt Applications...It's Easy!

thank youuuuuuu

How do qt applications scale with DPI settings?

My python scripts never runs, they just crash on start :(

im tryna get it to work without using a dedicated ide, just wanna use c++ headers with nvim & qmake but ive had no success.. anyone?

I am following all this, I get my .ui converted to .py; I go to run it but all I get is a command line message that there were no errors. I did not get my ui showing up anywhere on my screen. I am sure I missing something simple.

after seeing this video I thought "let's try it"I used Gtk3+ for a whlie but glade didn't work as intuitive as Qt Designer. But I found only a paid version of Qt😪. Where is de open source version?

Would this be similar if I wanted to use a different language such as JavaScript, Ruby, or C?

I know the default language for Qt if you use their main tool, QtCreator (different from designer) is C++, but I’m not a fan of C++.

Is there a doc with a good explanation of the design approach?

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING DT: This is the type of videos you should be making more. Teach people how to actually create stuff in Linux.

Its always been easy just dont be a baby lol ;P

Gambas and Lazarus are also cool IDEs to play with!

This feels like Visual basic used for designing Windows apps when bill gates not even born

You should do one for C++ using kdevelop. Would be quite useful for anyone wanting to get into games development. Also, is it supposed to be pronounced "cute" or "cutie", because I've always treated it like an acronym and said Q.T. as "cutie". Is that wrong?

This helped me in my University project. Our Lab Professor told us to make a graphical app which can compute people's Grades. We were given a junior class's actual result which was a .csv file. Whats funny is the university never taught us how to build graphical apps. Thanks to Qt designer and pyQt I was able to complete it. There is just one thing that I could not figure out. How can I make the app dynamic or responsive like in websites. Different resolutions made the app look very small or very big.

Can you make one with C?

It's the wrong way to use Designer. And for your icons you need to create a resource file. You put all your buttons wherever you want. Choose 1 button. Hold down the ctrl key and choose other buttons. Then click in the top bar on the layout you want. Do this for all your items. If you choose your groupbox, choose button 1 and 2 and choose H layout. Then the second row. Then click in your groupbox and choose V layout. That way if you change the size of your window, all with follow. Never change the pyuic file ! You have to do the layout in Designer. This is a very bad video to show how to use Designer and PyQt. You create a dialog and you remove the buttons. Choose the right one from the create menu!

Excellent jump start into Qt chap. Suddenly seems less daunting. thank you

Reminds me of Visual Basic 6

how can we contact you for cooperation?

Damn... another cool and interesting video from DT. I definitely try this one. I can see myself very busy in the next few weeks... I think I start to hate you DT :-)

I've been literally looking for a video like this yesterday and this comes up now on my feed, couldn't ask for a better timing!

Very cool!

DT: builds a qt application
Also DT: "I am not a programmer"

Say how about interviewing the creater of Slackware?

I much prefer qt over gtk, gtk is basically run by the gnome project, and we all know what those guys are like, now if only someone would port firefox or librewolf to qt

thanks

I would definitely be interested in more programming videos, especially if they are in Rust or C#.

What's happening if you need to do changes in the qt layout and already had adjusted code in the py file? There should be a way to preserve the code alterations, shouldn't it?

Thanks DT, perfect timing for this, i am learning Python and i am set with Qtile, it helped me improve my setup a lot, this type of application is just what i needed to further improve.
DTOS is gradually becoming a unique non-iso distribution

I stopped at the Python part. I thought (and hoped) you'd do C++.

Nice choice of topic though. These GUI Projects are always the best✨

Cheers

No need for Qt etc. Now we have web technologies like electron, making a UI with CSS is so much easy thanks to tailwind and bootstrap, if performance matters then you have web assembly.

I tried Qt in the past. It's functionally really good but the problem is the forced LGPL dual licensing and how vague they are with it. You either release your program for free, pay a massive license fee that no solo dev/small team will be able to pay, or do some weird dynamically linking stuff that they aren't specific about at all. I like Qt but understand why companies usually just use Electron

Thank you.

Awsome👏👏👏👏 Thank you DT Great video only second to Bash Commands! OMG you made me so happy! Please make more of these videos. Wish I were wealthy I would become a Patreon of such a project

This isn’t too different that how things were done back many years ago in Visual Basic and other languages with the difference being that qt designer seems to be just a form designer without having the language included. Here the language is separate. Personaly I have never gotten into visual languages, but those who have should feel right at home with the designer. Thanks dt for showing this.

Bro this a very great tutorial for starting...hop next time try to load the ui file in the python file to be able to modify the ui file without losing all your app again

👍Thanks.

Thats great. Can you do similar video for GTK app ?

The way we are moving ahead with the videos, DTOS doesn't seem very fictional. You may try to do it keeping the default Arch repos, just saying out loud what all your viewers are thinking. ❤

This is giving major Visual Basic vibes, even more than Gambas, but more modern. Totally takes me back to my VB4 /VB5 days-- this is awesome! Now my family is wondering why I'm grunting like those monkeys in Space Odyssey 2001, but they're not geeks and just won't understand. LoL

This reminded me of Microsoft Visual Basic

Now THIS is very useful information for users who would like to dip their toes into the world of coding, but has been seemingly overwhelmed. Please keep 'em coming DT.

Hey DT, thanks for this video. Please do more of this kind of stuff. It is great and you are a very good teacher. 🙂

I was hoping to get a tutorial on Qt 🎉 thanks

this is rlly cool

On the point of QT, neovim qt which comes by default in windows while installing neovim takes really looooooooooooooooooooooo opening up dry start is longer than Emacs.

Put another box inside the group box and then edit the buttons to make them all change.

Thanks! Good job and info! Appreciate the work.

Yes bro we need this kind of video it will help us to contribute in linux
