Creating Your Own Qt Applications...It's Easy!

I've done some videos in the past creating GTK apps, but today I'm creating my very first Qt app using 'Qt Designer' and 'pyqt5'. Creating a Qt app with these tools is shockingly simple.

Your support is very much appreciated. Thanks, guys!

Now THIS is very useful information for users who would like to dip their toes into the world of coding, but has been seemingly overwhelmed. Please keep 'em coming DT.

You should never edit the py files generated with pyuic, it's always expressly warned about both in PyQt and PySide. Always inherit/compose in a separate file.
Qt itself is fantastic. Basic applications are easy but the different models and mappings for data can get quite complex. It's extremely powerful, more so than any other native frontend builder.

This isn’t too different that how things were done back many years ago in Visual Basic and other languages with the difference being that qt designer seems to be just a form designer without having the language included. Here the language is separate. Personaly I have never gotten into visual languages, but those who have should feel right at home with the designer. Thanks dt for showing this.

I've been literally looking for a video like this yesterday and this comes up now on my feed, couldn't ask for a better timing!

Hey DT, thanks for this video. Please do more of this kind of stuff. It is great and you are a very good teacher. 🙂

[muhtasimahmedtausif]

Yes bro we need this kind of video it will help us to contribute in linux

Awsome👏👏👏👏 Thank you DT Great video only second to Bash Commands! OMG you made me so happy! Please make more of these videos. Wish I were wealthy I would become a Patreon of such a project

Thanks DT, perfect timing for this, i am learning Python and i am set with Qtile, it helped me improve my setup a lot, this type of application is just what i needed to further improve.
DTOS is gradually becoming a unique non-iso distribution

I would definitely be interested in more programming videos, especially if they are in Rust or C#.

This is giving major Visual Basic vibes, even more than Gambas, but more modern. Totally takes me back to my VB4 /VB5 days-- this is awesome! Now my family is wondering why I'm grunting like those monkeys in Space Odyssey 2001, but they're not geeks and just won't understand. LoL

Couple of things. First, 0:28 When you create the main window, use the "Main Window" not the "Dialog". Second, don't use PyQt, Use Pyside, Pyside is the official Qt python implementation (There is nothing wrong with PyQt perse, it's just that its license is not the same as Qt and with licenses, the less you mix the better). Third, don't edit the file generated by pyuic.

Excellent jump start into Qt chap. Suddenly seems less daunting. thank you

You can just drop all your widgets at once, selecte them, and use the buttons at the top to put them in a layout. If you have nothing selected then those buttons set the root layout iirc

[theintjengineer]

I stopped at the Python part. I thought (and hoped) you'd do C++.

Nice choice of topic though. These GUI Projects are always the best✨

Cheers

DT: builds a qt application
Also DT: "I am not a programmer"

[EstebanLopez-bnpd]

Are going to explore QML at some point? Because that would be awesome!

[muddyexport]

Thanks! Good job and info! Appreciate the work.

[Ex_impius]

Put another box inside the group box and then edit the buttons to make them all change.

My python scripts never runs, they just crash on start :(

[danieleg]

Damn... another cool and interesting video from DT. I definitely try this one. I can see myself very busy in the next few weeks... I think I start to hate you DT :-)
