The Qt way of doing visual form design is a completely different paradigm from the one used in Visual Studio. You don't define a class and then switch to a design view. Rather, the form you design is compiled into its own class, which you either instantiate or inherit from in your own code to add functionality to it.
Creator also doesn't have any support for Windows forms, so you're not going to be able to edit those resources from within the IDE. You'll need Visual Studio for that. /s/ Adam On Thu, May 5, 2011 at 12:34 PM, Bradley Allen <[email protected]> wrote: > hi all > > New to QT, familiar with Visual Studio; Just opened an existing project > that runs as a windows or WinForm GUI.
