I want to learn how to use Qt with C++

[LieutenantLeo]

Well, I know a fair bit about C++, and I want one of my C++ programs to run in my own GUI instead of the console. I don't want anything fancy like buttons, I just want my own GUI, instead of that dirty ol' console. My main thing is that I want the user to be able to copy and paste stuff easier. It's kind of the point on my program. Anyways, where do I go to learn how to incorporate Qt, or any other GUI program into my C++. I just want text, and input. My code is here:

#include <iostream>
#include "conio.h"
#include <string>
#include <time.h>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;


void keep();

void keep()
{
	string UserInput;
	srand ((unsigned) time(0));
	int random = (rand()%10);
	string name;
	string response;
	system ("title Easy Roll V.0.4");
	cout << "Easy Roll V.0.4 \n";
	cout << "---------------------------------------------------  \n";
	cout << "Enter the player's name. (No spaces) \n";
	getline(cin, name);
	cout << "Enter the player's command \n";
	getline(cin, UserInput);
	cout << " \n";
	cout << "--------------------------------------------------- ";
	cout << " \n";
	cout << name;
	cout << " \n";
	cout << "Action: ";
	cout << UserInput;
	cout << " \n";
	cout << "Roll: ";
	cout << random << " \n";
	cout << "Outcome: ";
	cout << " \n";
	cout << " \n";
	
	
	
	






}




int main()
{char cInput;
while(true)
{
    keep();
    cout << "Enter C to repeat, anything else to close program";
	cout << " \n";
    cin >> cInput;
	cin.ignore(99999, '\n');
    if(cInput != 'C')
    if(cInput != 'c')
    {
        break;
    }
}
	
	system("pause");
	

}

I want that to be in it's own GUI. Just a textbox with inputs. Thanks.

Google Qt with C++.

I'm going to ignore you because you are a [b] HUGE [/b] idiot.

Actually I searched stuff like that and couldn't find anything USEFUL that teaches me.

:sigh: when will people learn that insulting those who are trying to help is not the way to get help?

It wasn't an insult I was quoting your title cause I thought it was funny :| Anyways, thanks. I'll check that out.

Ok, that didn't work. I've been searching for a bit now. There isn't really anything on youtube. Isn't there a simple way to get my code into something other than Console?

Yes. You really went out of your way to tell him to google...

[Skorpy]

Just download QT Creator and you're good to go.

personally disagree about QT creator, you should learn how to implement it manually before just having it be auto-generated(you know, so you really know how the framework works).

yeah reading the documentation is the best way to learn it!!

The files created by QT Designer need to be processed by the uic tool anyway.

QT creator, AFAIK, does not generate files beyond the above.

QT Creator makes the dialogs for you and lets you visually connect the inputs and outputs which can be a huge relief - no need to write masses of what is essentially boilerplate code.

Or QT designer, whichever it was

[LieutenantLeo]

Yeah, I already have QT Creator. I don't know how to use it.

If you're using Visual Studio there's an add-in which makes stuff really easy. But for some reason I can't find it on the site anymore...

I believe it is included in the QT SDK. It was automatically installed.

Have you learned about classes yet? If not you shouldn't really do anything with Qt.

I say stick with the "dirty ol' console" until you have learned about the "advanced" stuff in C++, like classes, templates, pointers, dynamic memory, etc.

Also, you should really return something from main().
