    MODERN USER INTERFACES FOR C++

    Milian Wolff / KDAB


    OUTLINE
    Introduction
    Widgets
    QML / Quick
    Essentials & Addons
    Misconceptions
    1. INTRODUCING QT
    THE C++ UI FRAMEWORK
    20+ years of innovation
    thousands of developers
    CROSS PLATFORM
    Windows
    Mac OS & iOS
    Linux & Android
    QNX
    …
    WHY I LIKE QT
    C++
    simple, consistent API
    excellent documentation
    open governance
    versatile
    practical
    WHAT I DISLIKE ABOUT QT
    code legacy
    performance traps
    lack of work with isocpp
    2. QT WIDGETS
    KMail
    https://projects.kde.org/kdepim
    Spotify on Linux
    Krita
    https://projects.kde.org/calligra
    USING QT WIDGETS

    Qt Creator and Qt Designer


    http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt-creator/qt-creator.git
    // generated by uic
    #include <ui_mainwindow.h>
    // part of KF5::ItemModels
    #include <KRecursiveFilterProxyModel>

    MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget* parent)
    : QMainWindow(parent)
    , m_ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
    , m_treeModel(new MyTreeModel(this))
    {
    m_ui->setupUi(this);

    auto proxy = new KRecursiveFilterProxyModel(this);


    proxy->setSourceModel(m_treeModel);
    m_ui->treeView->setModel(proxy);

    connect(m_ui->treeFilter, &QLineEdit::textChanged,
    proxy, &KRecursiveFilterProxyModel::setFilterRegExp);
    }
    QT WIDGETS
    proven technology
    perfect for desktop applications
    not going to die anytime soon
    contemporary, if not modern
    3. QT QUICK
    QT QUICK

    import QtQuick 2.2


    import QtQuick.Controls 1.4

    ApplicationWindow {
    visible: true
    width: 400

    Button {
    text: "Check Me"
    checkable: true

    x: checked ? parent.width - width : 0


    Behavior on x {
    NumberAnimation {
    duration: 1000
    easing.type: Easing.OutBounce
    }
    }
    }
    }
    declarative QML + JavaScript
    hardware accelerated scene graph
    trivial to create fancy animated UIs
    perfect for embedded devices, phones
    ideal for OpenGL overlays
    only for representation
    data and logic in C++
    keep JavaScript to minimum
    4. ESSENTIALS & ADDONS

    mix and match with Boost, STL & others
    signals & slots
    unicode strings
    any type wrapper
    filesystem access
    networking
    state machines
    localization
    accessibility
    date & time
    settings
    JSON
    XML
    SQL
    ...
    QT THE TOOLKIT CONT'D
    2D painting
    OpenGL & 3D
    modern HTML
    printing
    testing
    serial ports
    sensors
    multimedia
    location
    bluetooth
    NFC
    ...

    ...
    INQLUDE.ORG
    listing of additional Qt libraries
    easy installation of libraries via command line
    add what's missing!
    5. MISCONCEPTIONS
    code generators
    containers
    C++11
    development process
    QT CODE GENERATORS

    moc
    uic
    rcc
    ...
    improve productivity
    simplify code maintenance
    overcome C++ limitations
    BUILD SYSTEM INTEGRATION
    QMake
    CMake
    Visual Studio
    MOC: REFLECTION

    limited C++ parser to extract annotations


    generates QMetaObjectfor reflection:
    class name
    inheritance chain
    signals
    slots
    basisinvokable
    for QML, methods
    DBUS, WebChannel, Remote Objects
    moc is not required anymore for slots
    #include <QCoreApplication>
    #include <QDebug>

    int main(int argc, char** argv)


    {
    QCoreApplication app{argc, argv};

    // execute lambda with 1s delay


    QTimer::singleShot(1000 /*msec*/, [&] () {
    qDebug() << "The time has come!";
    app.quit();
    });

    return app.exec();
    }

    QT CONTAINERS

    QList
    QVector
    QMap
    QHash
    ...
    understand implicit sharing
    prefer to use QVectoror QHash
    STL / Boost containers are also fine!
    QListshould die
    C++11 & QT
    internally:
    C++11 optionally used up to Qt 5.6
    Qt 5.7+ will depend on a C++11 compiler
    in your own applications:
    use the latest and greatest C++XY
