Qt Quick consists of a rich set of user interface -\l{QML Elements}{elements}, a \l{QML Syntax}{declarative} language for -describing user interfaces, and a language \l{QtQml Module}{runtime}. A -collection of C++ APIs is used to integrate these high level features with -classic Qt applications. Version 2.1 of the Qt Creator integrated development -environment (IDE) introduces tools for developing Qt Quick applications. - -\image qml-clocks-example.png - -\section1 The QML Language - -QML is a high level language that uses a declarative syntax to define how the -user interface should appear and behave. QML is used to build interfaces using -a collection of standard elements for fundamental user interface features. -These elements expose properties that can be changed at run-time, allowing -visual elements to be animated and used in transitions between states of the -user interfaces. - -\div{class="float-left"} -\inlineimage qml-dialcontrol-example.png -\enddiv -A Dial element might define a \e value property that can be used to control -the position of the needle on the dial. The element could be declared to -use a slider that adjusts the value of this property. - -\snippet examples/declarative/ui-components/dialcontrol/qml/dialcontrol.qml the dial in use - -Building user interfaces by importing these elements and linking their properties -together is one of the fundamental features of QML and Qt Quick. - -\clearfloat -Behind the scenes, QML leverages the power and efficiency of the Qt libraries -to provide rendering facilities, perform processor-intensive operations, and -to access components written in C++. - -The QML language also gives the developer more flexibility to create parts -of their user interface by allowing \l{About JavaScript}{JavaScript} to be -used to implement high level user interface logic. - -\l{How to Learn QML} introduces the reader to the language and declarative -concepts. - -\section1 QtQml Module - -To make Qt Quick possible, Qt introduces the \l{QtQml} module. The -module creates a JavaScript runtime that QML runs under with a Qt based backend. -Because QtQml and QML are built upon Qt, they inherit many of Qt's -technology, namely the \l{Signals and Slots}{signals and slots} mechanism and -the \l{The Meta-Object System}{meta-object} system. Data created using C++ are -directly accessible from QML, and QML objects are also accessible from C++ code. - -The QtQml module separates the interface logic in QML from the -application logic in C++. It also allows the range of standard QML elements -to be \l{Extending QML with C++}{extended with new ones written in C++}. - -\section1 Qt Creator Tools - -Qt Creator is a complete integrated development environment (IDE) for creating -applications with Qt Quick and the Qt application framework. - -\image qmldesigner-visual-editor.png - -The main goal for Qt Creator is meeting the development needs of Qt Quick -developers who are looking for simplicity, usability, productivity, -extendibility and openness, while aiming to lower the barrier of entry for -newcomers to Qt Quick and Qt. The key features of Qt Creator allow UI designers -and developers to accomplish the following tasks: -\list -\li Get started with Qt Quick application development quickly and easily with -examples, tutorials, and project wizards. -\li Design application user interface with the integrated editor, Qt Quick -Designer, or use graphics software to design the user interface and use scripts -to export the design to Qt Quick Designer. -\li Develop applications with the advanced code editor that provides new powerful -features for completing code snippets, refactoring code, and viewing the element -hierarchy of QML files. -\li Build and deploy Qt Quick applications that target multiple desktop and -mobile platforms, such as Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Maemo. -\li Debug JavaScript functions and execute JavaScript expressions in the current -context, and inspect QML at runtime to explore the object structure, debug -animations, and inspect colors. -\li Deploy applications to mobile devices and create application installation -packages for Maemo devices that can be published in the Ovi Store -and other channels. -\li Easily access information with the integrated context-sensitive Qt Help -system. -\endlist - -\image qtcreator-target-selector.png - -\section1 Where to Go from Here - -\l{external: Developing Qt Quick Applications with Creator} -{Developing Qt Quick Applications with Creator} provides an overview -of user interface development using the visual \e{Qt Quick Designer} tool. - -\l{How to Learn QML} introduces the reader to the language and declarative -concepts. - -The \l{QML Reference} page has links to various Qt Quick topics such as QML -features, addons, and tools. - -The \l {Qt Quick Code Samples} page has a gallery of QML applications. - -\section1 License Information -\list -\li \l{Qt Quick Licensing Information} -\endlist -*/ |
