    @fcarney said in "Real" code vs "Fake" code:

    this is a different definition of "real" in this case. As in "toy" vs "tool". I do reach for Python for quite a few tasks, but not for any application that needs serious threading.

    This makes me think of LabVIEW, which is the primary language at my workplace. People often look down on it and call it a "toy" language simply because coding involves drawing colourful diagrams, and because it has "lab" in its name. However, it trumps all other languages in its ease of creating multi-threaded code.

    @Kent-Dorfman said in I feel cheated.:

    I know it's troll bait, but I do have to agree with the OP about licensing fees. Monthly use fees are criminal. Really, for as much as I hate windoze, the .net dev model is really the most fair one in the industry: buy once, and use that version forever without restrictions on redistributables.

    +1. And Qt license used to work the same way in the past, too. Maybe it still does, I'm not sure.

    @Guest said in Qt long steep learning curve & expensive price!:

    why I need to pay money for Qt guys and Felgo?! This is absolute madness!

    this part caught my attention deeply. Those are companies providing a service that you may find interesting, and that may help you solve your problem(s) so why not?

    I'm planning to start my own -one man- company

    In that case, aren't you planning to be paid money? It looks like you'll be at the same level of Qt or Felgo right?

    @HaoTian Usually when you have to resort to that kind of workaround, there's something else to be fixed.

    Running development tools and software as root/admin is usually a pretty bad idea. You can destroy your system pretty easily if you execute your application and it contains for example some innocent code that deletes folders and you start that at the root of your disk.

    SOoo... Excellent stuff! Excellent presentations. Emmanuel taking his reputation in his hands with a live demo of PSD/Designer/Creator work flow. Auri(?) talking about Qt ultralite on MCUs and more AND a ton of cool and friendly people.

    Brilliant day out. Yeah, cost me a day of contractor money (us contractors don't get paid for days out like this!) but we enjoyed it.

    I hear rumours there might be another ;-)

    @SGaist
    Piqued my interest. I visited http://www.itgroup.ro/WSX/browser.htm?.landingpage=wsx_content/en/libagents/libagents.html#scroll-page LGPL, mature-looking, standard C++ library to allow you to design your program using https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actor_model , i.e. highest-level completely message-driven objects. Can use Qt for GUI/system access. If that floats your boat it might well be interesting for C++ folks.

    Hm, testing it a bit more, it looks like header is hiding only when there are many replies to a topic and not all fit on the screen. But it happens even when the window is wide (landscape).

    I am not spending some 120 EUR on AAA titles
    (yes, I mean CD Projekt's Witcher 3) last year

    Look: all I know is Steam says The Witcher® 3: Wild Hunt is currently £7.49 which is like €7.49 these days, so it can't have cost €120, or your €s are different from other peoples' €s! Unless you're not PC but game-station-thing, which I know nothing about...

    Hi!

    Welcome to the world of Qt, and all the best with your project.

    @immmomm said in hi! and question bout Qt for Python:

    is there any documentation for Qt in Python?

    Yes: https://doc.qt.io/qtforpython/

    Hi and welcome to devnet,

    Qt is a pretty big framework to write cross-platform applications. It's mainly known for its widgets module however you can do lots more: network enabled applications, database interface, GPS application, 3D etc.

    Take a look at the the documentation. It's full of examples and demos.

    You can also take look at the QtStudios Youtube channel.

    By the way, it's Qt, QT stands for Apple QuickTime which is a completely different thing.

    Cool, I'm glad that it worked.
    Just to be clear,<string.h> is the C strings library (has strcpy(), memcmp() and the likes). The C++ equivalent for this is <cstring>.
    None of these have the C++ type std::string, which requires <string>, so the fact that it worked when compiling was not due to the <string.h> include. It just pulled <string> from somewhere.

    I can only recommend you to comment and vote for QTCREATORBUG-21407. It also contains a workaround to start one Creator without Clang.

    Maybe we should also create a poll here in the forum to see how many users are affected by Clang problems and how they work around those.
