Here's one:
It's a number pad. Press buttons to add digits to your number, then press enter and it'll print the number to stdout.

Actually, if you're using Qt Creator, there's a great "Examples" and "Tutorials" section available if you click on the "Welcome" tab.

now i have installd 5.1.1 and it is now saying that it needs a compiler setup??? i don't know how to solve this???


The latest version is 5.3.1 so start off by getting the that version. On Windows, Qt uses the Visual Studio compiler and you have to link to it and/or install Widows7 SDK, or something like that I forget exactly. To make it simple just go to the download page:
https://qt-project.org/downloads
click "Show Downloads" and select this one:
Qt 5.3.1 for Windows 32-bit (MinGW 4.8.2, OpenGL, 735 MB)
Then you can start working on some of the examples.

Thanks to all of you
Will you tell me what version of visual studio is exactly required for this ??
Need4Sleep (570)
Why would use visual studio for this? QT comes with an IDE
admkrk (505)
Just get the installer I mentioned and save yourself a lot of frustration.
Stewbond (2827)
Generally, you'd use Qt creator instead of visual studio. That comes with a nice GUI editor meant for Qt, has the libraries already installed, and has syntax highlighting for macros like private slots.

If you want to use visual studio, you're definitely doing things the hard way, but there are valid reasons for doing so (perhaps this is what your workplace uses, or you're integrating with a larger project and want this to be part of the same .sln).

To use this for visual studio, you need to install the Qt library. Go the link posted above and click: "Not the version you wanted? Show downloads". Then you can find a package for VS, choose whether you want OpenGL or 64 bit versions, then install that. To use it in a project, you'll probably need to link to the appropriate library, but there should be some tutorial on that website for that.

Thanks to all of you
i have got it working .........yeahhhhhh
