Qt Creator | Introduction to Application Development by Qt

  

What is Qt Creator?

It is a cross platform integrated development environment (IDE) to create C++ and QML applications for multiple desktop, embedded and mobile platforms. It comes with a code editor, and is integrated with tools for designing, coding, testing, deploying and maintaining your software throughout its product lifecycle.
For GUI in Qt, We use QML, a JavaScript variable.
For Logic : C++


Introduction

Qt Quick Controls 2 applications provide a native look and feel for several target platforms by using styles such as the macOS, 

Windows, 

or the Material style for Android. 

 

This has so far not been the case for iOS. QQC2 applications running on iOS did not look native and developers had to manually customise the controls or create their own style in order to give their UIs a more native look.

 The iOS Style is a native-looking style for iOS. It is based on pixmaps and designed to look and feel as similar as possible to the native controls in UIKit

To achieve this :

most of the controls use 9-patch images to draw their components 

and use QML to add animations. 

We chose a pixmap-based approach, as opposed to using native APIs like we do for the macOS and Windows style, in order to have a style that is easier to maintain, opens up for more animations, and that is not subject to visual regressions resulting from periodic updates and changes in iOS. 

This also means that over time the controls can deviate from the controls in UIKit, and will therefore need regular design updates from our side.
