Qt Quick, first introduced in Qt 4.7 and in Qt Creator 2.1, is a high-level UI technology that allows developers and UI designers to work together to create animated, touch-enabled UIs and lightweight applications. It includes:
- New Tools in the Qt Creator IDE: including a visual editor that allows UI designers and developers to cooperate, working on the same code in an iterative approach
- QML (Qt Meta-Object Language): an easy to use, declarative language
- QtDeclarative: a new module in the Qt library that enables a new declarative programming approach
And while no C++ programming skills are needed to use Qt Quick, it is 100% based on Qt and can be extended from C++ (and other languages, thanks to the bindings), limited only by your creativity.
Scope (Qt Creator and Quick)
- QML project wizard and project management (new file format for pure QML applications)
- Advanced QML editor with syntax highlighting, code completion, integrated help features and more
- Qt Quick Designer: Visual WYSIWYG editor to create Qt Quick user interfaces (technical preview)
- Qt Quick Components: Common UI Elements that fit into platform Look & Feel
QML vs. Widget-based GUI
Qt beginners often ask: What option will be the best for creating my user interface. With Qt there are 3 techniques (which can be integrated):
- using Qt Designer to create *.ui files
- a XML-based UI description coding the setup of your UI in C++ with Qt widgets classes
- write or visually design (or modeling with Qt Creator) QML files
