Qt
Qt is a cross-platform application and UI framework.
qmake
The build system tool of the Qt framework is qmake
. It uses .pro
files as
configuration files. These contain settings for building Qt applications, such
as source/header files, libraries, and required modules. They also specify
target platform, compiler options, and resource files. Qmake uses this
information to generate project files (such as a Makefile).
QML
The Qt Modeling Language (QML) is a declarative programming language for building UIs in Qt applications. In QML, the structure and behavior of the UI is defined using a JSON-like syntax. It can be used with JavaScript for more interactivity.
QML Code Example: Show "Hello World" on button press
import QtQuick 2.15 import QtQuick.Controls 2.15 ApplicationWindow { visible: true width: 400 height: 200 title: "Hello World Example" // A property to control the visibility of the text property bool showText: false Column { anchors.centerIn: parent spacing: 20 Button { text: "Press me" onClicked: { showText = true // Set the property to true when the button is clicked } } Text { text: "Hello, World!" visible: showText // Show the text only if showText is true font.pointSize: 24 } } }
#include <QGuiApplication> #include <QQmlApplicationEngine> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { QGuiApplication app(argc, argv); QQmlApplicationEngine engine; engine.load(QUrl(QStringLiteral("qrc:/main.qml"))); return app.exec(); }
