However, sometimes this does not happen properly, so +you need to manually carry out the following steps. +<p> <ul> +<li> Ensure that the file '%MSDevDir%\addins\qmsdev.dll' exists. +<li> Start Visual Studio, if it isn't already running. +<li> Select Tools|Customize|Add-ins and Macro Files. +<li> Ensure the checkbox to the left of the "TQMsDev Developer Studio-Add-In" add-in is checked. +<li> Click Close. +</ul> +<p> Now the integration plugin should be properly installed. If this doesn't +work, then contact Trolltech technical support giving details of +what went wrong. +<p> <h2> How to uninstall the Visual Studio Integration Plugin +</h2> +<a name="2"></a><p> When you want to uninstall the integration plugin, just carry out the +following steps. +<p> <ul> +<li> Close down any instances of Visual Studio. +<li> Delete the file '%MSDevDir%\addins\qmsdev.dll' +</ul> +<p> <h2> What can the Visual Studio Integration Plugin do? +</h2> +<a name="3"></a><p> The integration plugin adds the following options to Visual Studio: +<p> <ul> +<li> New TQt Project +<li> New TQt Dialog +<li> TQt Designer +<li> Open TQt Project +<li> Write TQt Project +<li> Use TQt In Current Project +<li> Add MOC +</ul> +<p> <h3> Using the 'New TQt Project' button +</h3> +<a name="3-1"></a><p> The 'New TQt Project' button allows you to create a simple TQt project +ready for development. Simply fill in the form and if you select +'Dialog' or 'Main Window' without MDI support then it will +automatically start up <em>TQt Designer</em>. When you have finished with +the form in <em>TQt Designer</em> just save it and it will appear in a +ready made TQt project. +<p> If you select 'Main Window' with 'MDI Support' then it will simply +give you a code skeleton in a project ready for you to populate with +your own code. +<p> <h3> Using the 'New TQt Dialog' button +</h3> +<a name="3-2"></a><p> The 'New TQt Dialog' button works in two ways: You can use it to create a new +dialog for your project; or you can use it to insert an existing +dialog into your project. +<p> If you want to create a new dialog then all you need to do is specify where +the dialog file should be saved and give it a name. This will start up +<em>TQt Designer</em> to allow you to design your new dialog, and will add it to +the existing project. +<p> If you want to add an existing dialog to your project, then just select the +relevant <tt>.ui</tt> file. This will then add it to your existing project and add +the relevant steps to create the generated code. +<p> <h3> Using the 'TQt Designer' button +</h3> +<a name="3-3"></a><p> The 'TQt Designer' button simply starts up <em>TQt Designer</em>, it has no ties to +your existing project so whatever you do with it will not affect your +existing projects. It can also be started up by using the Ctrl+Shift+D key +combination in Visual Studio. +<p> <h3> Using the 'Open TQt Project' button +</h3> +<a name="3-4"></a><p> The 'Open TQt Project' button allows you to convert an existing <tt>qmake</tt> project file into a <tt>.dsp</tt> file which you can insert into +your existing workspace. When you click the 'Open TQt Project' +button, just select an existing <tt>qmake</tt> project file (a <tt>.pro</tt> +file) and then click OK. You will get a message box at the end +which asks you to insert the newly created <tt>.dsp</tt> file into your +existing workspace. +<p> <h3> Using the 'Write TQt Project' button +</h3> +<a name="3-5"></a><p> The 'Write TQt Project' button creates a <tt>qmake</tt> project (<tt>.pro</tt>) +file for your current project so that you can easily copy the files +onto another platform and be able to use <tt>qmake</tt> to create a Makefile +on that other platform. All you need to do is make the project you +want to create a <tt>.pro</tt> file for, and click on the button. Just +name your <tt>qmake</tt> project file and click Save. +<p> <h3> Using the 'Use TQt In Current Project' button +</h3> +<a name="3-6"></a><p> The 'Use TQt In Current Project' button simply adds in the necessary +information for the current project so that it links against TQt and +sets any other settings needed to use TQt in that project. +<p> <h3> Using the 'Add MOC' button +</h3> +<a name="3-7"></a><p> The 'Add MOC' button will add in the custom build step for the selected file +so that it creates any needed MOC files and it will add these generated +files to the project. All you need to do to use it is click on a file that +has <a href="metaobjects.html#Q_OBJECT">Q_OBJECT</a> and click the button. +<p> You only need to use this button if you added a file that has <a href="metaobjects.html#Q_OBJECT">Q_OBJECT</a> in it by hand, you don't need to use this if you used any +of the previously mentioned buttons. It can also be invoked by using +the Ctrl+Shift+M key combination in Visual Studio. +<p> +<!-- eof --> +<p><address><hr><div align=center> +<table width=100% cellspacing=0 border=0><tr> +<td>Copyright © 2007 +<a href="troll.html">Trolltech</a><td align=center><a href="trademarks.html">Trademarks</a> +<td align=right><div align=right>TQt 3.3.8</div> +</table></div></address></body> +</html> |
