I won't be active in this thread, because IMHO this is the stuff of legends: We are about to usher in a new decade of flame wars for all of C++ with this topic (and these wars are underway in other C++ communities outside Qt). However, I want to chime-in here for Qt, and then I'll not be active o

> Since in modern Qt you connect signals to functions/lambdas, is there a reason to declare slots anymore? Interesting question, I've thought about this also. IMHO, deep consideration is important: "slot": A "slot" is a non-coupling thread-safe execution bridge. It's already been mentioned i

Hi, Preet-- I haven't tried it in QtCreator, but I just started using Catch several weeks ago -- WOW it's awesome. For the casual reader, it's C++ header-only (uses advanced C++11 template features in its implementation), and allows for "Behavior Driven Design" (BDD) in defining the tests. It's

[Interest] Design for a C++ Custom QML-Text-Editor-Component? (ala "Code Bubbles")

2014-08-22 Thread charleyb123 .
I'd like to implement in C++ a "rich-text-editor" component for QML. Think "code-bubbles" for editing (where many of these text-editor-components will exist side-by-side on a QML canvas). I'd like it in C++, as I expect it to become somewhat "rich" for internal behavior, such as to support advanc
