Not only is this tutorial useful, you made it interesting and fun at the same time. In other words, you make my learning much easier. Thank you!

Thank you for your support Michael!

Good video. I literally had a long hard time figuring this out. I also use visual studio designers, and its table layout is the best. QT can do better

[@AdamMacNeil]

Thank you for the video. Can someone explain how to make the red and green cell borders visible? Having those visible would help immensely with trying to layout a window.

[@blackiedk]

I didn't do anything special to make them visible, so I'm afraid I can't help you there. Cheers Jesper.

Hi Yggy! Thank you very much for watching! Nice to hear that we can be of help! :)

Glad to see a new upload. It's been a few months already since your last qml video. What is the inspiration behind starting a new widgets series? Will Qt support it moving forward even in Qt 6?

[@KDABtv]

Yes, Widgets are not dead despite rumors to the contrary. It will be supported in Qt6, and it continues being very relevant to many organisations for dekstop development. And mentioning the desktop - if you are interested in that, there is a free online event next week www.qtdesktopdays.com About the Qt/QML series: it had a little summer break and will continue in a few weeks. :)

[@epus2383]

@@KDABtv Looking forward to the upcoming QML videos. and now widgets as well! Will checkout the event. Thanks

Very nice video

Eagerly waiting for drag and drop, with eg like slider or apps drawer

[@mayankjha1986]

Hi ! Can you please help me in one doubt regarding TextArea? Actually there is some rich text inside the textarea and i want the line-height to be 22px and when a new line is encountered then it should change to 44px and further 66px so how to do that with TextArea ?

[@blackiedk]

This sounds like a QML question, so slightly off topic here in this channel, did you see the QML training we put online? kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKnchZ6OgceWjJY Cheers Jesper.

Sometimes I wonder if it's not just easier to do all this in code.

[@blackiedk]

Of course this all boils down to personal preferences. Here is how I see it: Many times I've sit in front of my computer and told myself: "This is just a QTextEdit plus a push button, not worth it bringing Qt Designer into play here" and then coded it by hand......just to learn that there then needed to be a label and a ... and a ... and and and. At which time I cursed myself for not doing it in Qt Designer to start with. Indeed grid layout's in designer is sometimes harder than doing it by hand, but at least in my experience it is worth to pay that price for not having to layout a larger dialog by way of C++ code (in which the grid may just be a smaller part).

[@nyanpasu64]

I am convinced that Qt Designer was a mistake, with those single-pixel drag spaces. You didn't even mention the fun(tm) part where tab order isn't based on visual organization, but the order you dragged widgets in. Or column numbering changing when you add and delete a widget midway into a QGridLayout. And last time i checked, the Object Inspector arranged items in a seemingly random order.

[@blackiedk]

Qt designer for sure have a few rough edges, but I wouldn't go as far as claiming it was a mistake. Personally I prefer using designer over hand coding my UI. I suggest you report your findings with the Qt projects, maybe someone will pick up the issues and fix them once and for all.
