"C++ GUI Programming with Qt 3"

The first official Trolltech guide to Qt 3.2 programming!

Straight from Trolltech, this book covers all you need to build industrial-strength applications with Qt 3.2.x and C++--applications that run natively on Windows, Linux/Unix, Mac OS X, and embedded Linux with no source code changes! The book teaches solid Qt programming practices; it is not a rehash of the documentation.

• Build powerful C++ GUI applications quickly and easily
• Design dialogs and main windows visually and in code
• Learn Qt's innovative type-safe signals and slots mechanism
• Use layouts to create forms that automatically size and scale
• Create custom signals, slots, events, and controls
• Program the ''Qt way'' with techniques for Qt 3.2 that'll work with Qt 4
• Code applications with menus, toolbars, dialogs, and drag and drop
• Utilize 2D and 3D graphics, multithreading, and networking
• Write database and XML applications
• Internationalize to reach foreign markets
• Exploit platform-specific-features like ActiveX

Already using Qt or just starting out? Evaluating Qt or managing it? Building open source applications--or commercial applications? Want to develop for Windows without buying an expensive compiler? Whatever your goal, this is the only book you need!
