Thanks again for those helpful links and info
However, some Qs crop up to my mind -- plz do pardon me if i'm asking
something stupid, as am a "newbie" to gui programming:
why would one not use an IDE (especially one where one can drag-drop
widgets onto a form) to create a gui? is it not more intuitive? is code
generation not less cumbersome this way? especially with layouts; coz i just saw
that qt4-designer does a very good job of laying out stuff, and that
manually it would be very hard to place stuff at proper positions, and
then configuring each petty detail of each widget
Umm, I am guessing you misunderstood my line. I did say
use the Qt Designer which is not an IDE, its a WYSIWIG tool to design
UIs. Please use it by all means as much as you want. And for doing
that the Qt Designer manual is something I told you to refer. The
point where you have to change your path from a person doing it in C++
is use "pyuic" instead of using "uic". Designer doesnot give any C++
or Py code, it churns out XML which is converted into C++ or Py by uic
or pyuic respecitively.
So in short : to learn Qt4 designer please the Qt4 docs
that come with the source or assistant. But use pyuic. And I say that
because you wanted an PyQt tutorial for designer. The designer part
always remains the same.
Cheers!
