Qt is an open source multi-platform framework for developing C++ applications. Qt is especially useful for GUI applications. Before you can work with Qt projects, you must download the Qt libraries for your Windows, Linux, or Mac OS X platform from http://qt.digia.com.
If you are using a Solaris platform, you must build the Qt libraries from sources that you can get from http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qt site.
The IDE supports creating, building, running, and debugging of Qt projects without leaving the IDE. You can create Qt applications without complex project configuration and hand-editing of Makefiles.
Typical Qt files, such as forms, resources, and translations, can be easily created from inside the IDE in the standard ways when working with C/C++ projects. When the project is a Qt project, you see additional file types for Qt. To create the files, the IDE opens standard Qt editing tools: Qt Designer for form files and Qt Linguist for translations. Qt tools such as qmake, moc, and uic are launched automatically as needed.
Code Assistance is configured automatically if the IDE can find a Qt installation on your computer. When you open project properties on a Qt project, you can set Qt-specific project properties which cover typical configuration needs, and also allow experts to fine-tune the generated qmake project file.
