Latest Qt 4.8 snapshot Nokia Corporation Online Reference Documentation. Qt supports the development of cross-platform GUI ( Graphical user interface ) applications with its “write once, compile anywhere” approach. Using a single source tree and a simple recompilation, applications can be written for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, and many other versions of Unix with X11. Qt applications can also be compiled to run on embedded Linux, Symbian and Windows CE platforms. Qt has excellent cross-platform support for multimedia and 3D graphics, internationalization, SQL, XML and unit testing, as well as providing platform-specific extensions for specialized applications. Qt is the de facto standard C++ framework for high performance cross-platform software development. In addition to an extensive C++ class library, Qt includes tools to make writing applications fast and straightforward. Qt’s cross-platform capabilities and internationalization support ensure that Qt applications reach the widest possible market. Qt includes a rich set of widgets ( “controls” in Windows terminology ) that provide standard GUI functionality. Qt introduces an innovative alternative for inter-object communication, called “signals and slots”, that replaces the old and unsafe callback technique used in many legacy frameworks. Qt also provides a conventional event model for handling mouse clicks, key presses, and other user input. Qt’s cross-platform GUI applications can support all the user interface functionality required by modern applications, such as menus, context menus, drag and drop, and dockable toolbars. Qt applications can be built visually using Qt Designer, a flexible user interface builder with support for IDE ( Integrated development environment ) integration. The release of Qt 4.7 introduces the foundations of Qt Quick, a collection of technologies for rapid prototyping and creation of modern, intuitive user interfaces. Qt makes it possible to create platform-independent database applications using standard databases. Qt includes native drivers for Oracle®, Microsoft® SQL Server, Sybase® Adaptive Server, IBM DB2, PostgreSQL™, MySQL®, Borland® Interbase, SQLite, and ODBC-compliant databases. Qt is a mature C++ framework that is widely used around the world. In addition to Qt’s many commercial uses, the Open Source edition of Qt is the foundation of KDE, the Linux desktop environment.
