[Jprogramming] Qt or GUI tutorials and information

[robert therriault]

Hi Rob,

Probably a good place to start is the j wiki http://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Guides/Window_Driver

http://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Guides/Window_Driver/Form_Definition is also useful to see how forms are constructed

http://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Guides/Window_Driver/Layout  gives a sense of how bins (used for layout of controls) can be used.

Joe Bogner also did a very useful write up that helps explain bins a bit further. http://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/User:Joe_Bogner/QtLayout

A way to see things in action is to access the Help/Studio/Showcase... Menu. If you select 'events' from the list that pops up and click ok - you will see the results of the script. To see the script itself double click on 'events' and the script itself pops up. 

That should get you started.

Cheers, bob
