\title Introducing Qt Creator
|
||||
|
||||
As an IDE, Qt Creator differs from a text editor in that it knows how to build and run
|
||||
applications. It understands the code as code, not just as plain text. This allows
|
||||
it to:
|
||||
\list
|
||||
\o Enable you to write well formatted code.
|
||||
\o Anticipate what you are going to write and complete the code.
|
||||
\o Display inline error and warning messages.
|
||||
\o Enable you to semantically navigate to classes, functions, and symbols.
|
||||
\o Provide you with context-sensitive help on classes, functions, and symbols.
|
||||
\o Rename symbols in an intelligent way, so that only the symbol belonging to
|
||||
a particular class is renamed everywhere.
|
||||
\o Show you the locations in code where a function is declared or called.
|
||||
\endlist
|
||||
|
||||
\section1 Why Do You Need Projects?
|
||||
|
||||
To be able to build and run applications, Qt Creator needs the same
|
||||
information as a compiler would need. This information is specified in the
|
||||
project build and run settings.
|
||||
|
||||
Creating a project allows you to:
|
||||
\list
|
||||
\o Group files together.
|
||||
\o Add custom build steps.
|
||||
\o Include forms and resource files.
|
||||
\o Specify settings for running applications.
|
||||
\endlist
|
||||
|
||||
You can either create a project from scratch or import an existing
|
||||
project. Qt Creator generates all the necessary files, depending on the type of
|
||||
project you create. For example, if you choose to create a graphical user
|
||||
interface (GUI) application, Qt Creator generates an empty .ui file for you
|
||||
that you can modify with the integrated Qt Designer.
