Michael Scopchanov's examples of how to use the Qt library

CuteScope is a collection of example desktop applications under Windows, aiming to offer an additional help to the developers, looking for how to implement a particular feature with Qt.

There is a plenty of information on the Internet of what the Qt library is and how to use it. The Qt documentation iself offers a rich variety of examples in C++ and QML. Even then, it is sometimes not so obvious how to achieve something. CuteScope is meant to serve as an additional source of helpful ideas in this regard.

To use the examples you need the Qt Library and a C++ compiler for your platform.

1. Download the code
2. Open the pro-file of a particular example in Qt Creator
3. Set a build kit
4. Build and run the project from Qt Creator

My personal setup is a Windows 10 PC with a Microsoft Visual Studio 2019.

The code in this repository is not an official release by the Qt company or any other organization. It is written solely by me, Michael Scopchanov, in my spare time, based on my personal programming experience, as well as on my understanding of the intended way of using the Qt library. Despite my effort to keep my knowledge of Qt at a very high level by:

• reading the official Qt documentation and examples,
• watching tutorials available on Youtube,
• participating in online events like webinars, Qt related talks, etc.
• reading books about generic C++ programming, clean code and design patterns,
• actively participating in Stack Overflow by asking and answering Qt related questions,
• updating to the latest versions of Qt shortly after their release,
• digging into the Qt's source code,
• working on several Qt-based projects of mine for desktop applications and open-source libraries,

I cannot guarantee that the code shared in this repository represents the best or the only way to solve a particular programming problem. Please do not use the code blindly, as it is meant only for demonstration purposes. Instead, analyze how it works and, when necessary, adapt it to make it fit the requirements and standards of your particular application.
