<aname="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>
<aname="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>
<aname="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>
<aname="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>
<aname="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>
<aname="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.
has <ahref="metaobjects.html#TQ_OBJECT">TQ_OBJECT</a> and click the button.
<p> You only need to use this button if you added a file that has <ahref="metaobjects.html#TQ_OBJECT">TQ_OBJECT</a> in it by hand, you don't need to use this if you used any
