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 use a combination of both:

1. I find for x,y coordinates, Designer is the way to go.

2. A lot of the other UI properties etc can be set in your code.

I think trying to do UI completely by hand-coding would be a very time consuming project. It's not as simple as setting up HTML tables.

Yes version 4 is bad, but people at work who have used version 3 said it was REALLY bad. Lots of crashing.

I, along with my fellow QTers, are truly hoping that version 5 will be an improvement.

I know this is an old question, but I hope this helps! One man's experience.
