Hey Qt!

Along with our Forum moderators, we introduce our Qt Forum Guidelines.
This topic is our point of reference - by adhering to our best practices, we optimise communications in our Forum.
Make sure your behaviour is aligned with a respectful and inclusive environment.
Please, follow our Qt Code of Conduct.

Asking for help
You might want to ask for help whenever you know something is wrong with your code, but can’t pin point it. Writing on our forum can be a great way to get your peers to analyse your code and check it for mistakes, inconsistencies, or even getting some insight on how to optimise your coding.

Help us help you!

• Provide your code where you believe the issue is, it should be compilable
• Provide the minimal amount of code that allows to replicate the issue or work on a solution
• Answer these questions:
  • Which Qt version are you using?
  • Which version of QtCreator are you using?
  • Which platform?
  • How did you install it?
