QT help

Okay I don't loaded it installed it, but when I make a C++ project it doesn't let me use the Desinger thing...

That's not a very accurate problem description. What exactly is wrong?

Well I can't use the desinger tool on it...

KyleFYI, did you also download QT Creator? This is the typical way in which a beginner would interact with Qt, not with Qt Designer directly. It is a file a couple of MB in size available from the Qt downloads page. Then you can access Qt directly from your desktop.

I have a short cut on my desk top, and I don't loaded a 1GB one and a small one.

Qt Designer is easy enough to use. What's your problem with it?

I mean, of course integrating the Qt tools into an IDE is a good idea, but you could just use an eclipse plugin if you use eclipse, or a Visual Studio add in for... visual studio. Or whatever. Most IDE's nowadays are extensible, why not use that instead of switching to a new IDE everytime you want to use a new lib?

So do you have Qt Creator as well as Qt Designer, Qt Assistant, Linguist, etc.?

I downloaded the 1GB+ one and the little one, I think its QT Creator and QT Designer.

Ok, so what happens when you load up Qt Creator?

Try going through the first 3 tutorials by VoidRealms:

There he tells you how to download and install Qt, how to create a console based app, and how to create a simple GUI app (around 5 mins each).
