announcing JsQt-0.4-beta

[Burak Arslan-4]

hi,

jsqt was recently completely rewritten. apart the much cleaner codebase,
the most significant change is that it now generates factory functions
instead of one monolithic constructor function, making its output easier
to customize.

it also additionally supports the split pane.

i hope it is useful to you.

sincerely,
burak

Hello Burak,


this is very interesting! I am sure we will mention this in our weekly blog
post.
Could you perhaps write a few words about jsqt to explain it to our
mailinglist users?

Keep up the good work!

Kind regards
Jonathan

hello jonathan,

Thanks :) As indicated in its web page (http://jsqt.org), jsqt is a tool
that compiles QtDesigner's .ui files into qooxdoo code.

We're using it to save the hassle of writing gui code ourselves, but
also to have our screens in a compatible format with the qt world, in
order to avoid doing the same work twice.

Dialect support coming in release 0.5 will also mean that you will be
able to dodge at least some of the api changes that happen with 0.x
releases.

Because qt and qooxdoo share some fundamental layouting and event
management concepts, my opinion is that QtDesigner is *the* graphical
designer qooxdoo community has long been looking for.

Anything more you want to know, please let me know.

best,
burak

Hi Burak,

that's a very interesting project.

Sorry my ignorance but where is the download link for QtDesigner?

All I can find is Qt Creator IDE that come with the Qt SDK.

Is QtDesigner a part of Qt Creator?

Anyway, I'm downloading the SDK to test it. :)

Hello Guilherme,

I'm glad you find it interesting.

As to your question, the designer comes from qt-gui package. but then,
i'm on gentoo linux, and it may be different on your platform. again in
my case, the command to launch it is "designer".

I guess it should be in the sdk. let us know!

best,
burak

Hi Burak,

which version of qt designer is it?

In Ubuntu the packages are called qt3-designer and qt4-designer, I believe.

On Ubuntu-Jaunty the current version of designer is 4.5.0.

Cheers,
Fritz

hi fritz,

you need files produced by designer 4.4 and above. so 4.5.0 is fine.

Burak,

what I great project you have here. Congrats!

Question: Once you have created your .ui file and converted to JS, you edit it to include your logic and remaining details, right? How do you proceed to make changes and keep the layout in sync with the .ui file?
Because, for example, I'm going to change quiet a bit the generated code to include data binding code. After creating that code, if I want to change something in the .ui file, how to include those changes back to my (now changed) js file?

Another question: here what it generated for me (Add.ui): qx.Class.define("sample\draw\Add", {
Is that right? Shouldn't it be dots instead?

hey, thanks a lot :)

well, you should inherit the class and override the methods you want to
modify -- you're not supposed to change the generated js file. see the
implementation of virtual functions in qooxdoo oo model, especially
http://qooxdoo.org/documentation/0.8/oo_feature_summary#calling_the_overridden_superclass_method

those being said, this method may or may not suit your needs, and i'm
certainly interested in your feedback.

one more thing, a not yet documented feature that may interest you is
that you can use "promote class" option to alter the instantiation line
without overriding the method, if that's the sole thing you're after.

ah, you're on windows. i'd completely forgotten windows uses backslashes
in paths. i'll look into it.

thanks for your feedback and best regards,
burak

ps: would you mind cc'ing the jsqt list as well with matters regarding
jsqt? i don't want jsqt discussions to get much fragmented. thanks.
