Qt Designer vs Handcoding

Question

Every time I start a project with some graphical toolkit, one of the first conflicts happen with the decision of how to deal with the visual design and the widget layout: A grap

Answer 1

I tend to layout dialogs using the designer but I do all the event handling stuff in the main code. I also do all the main windows, toolbars, menus in direct code.

The designer is just frustrating - a pity since decent drag and drop sizer based designers have been around for more than a decade
