Overview of this book

Qt 5.7 is an application development framework that provides a great user experience and develops full-capability applications with Qt Widgets, QML, and even Qt 3D. This book will address challenges in successfully developing cross-platform applications with the Qt framework. Cross-platform development needs a well-organized project. Using this book, you will have a better understanding of the Qt framework and the tools to resolve serious issues such as linking, debugging, and multithreading. Your journey will start with the new Qt 5 features. Then you will explore different platforms and learn to tame them. Every chapter along the way is a logical step that you must take to master Qt. The journey will end in an application that has been tested and is ready to be shipped.

Preface

Displaying a picture with PictureWidget


This widget will be called to display a picture at its full size. We also add some buttons to go to the previous/next picture or delete the current one.

Let's start to analyze the PictureWidget.ui form, here is the design view:

Here are the details:

  • backButton: This object requests to display the gallery

  • deleteButton: This object removes the picture from the album

  • nameLabel: This object displays the picture name

  • nextButton: This object selects the next picture in the album

  • previousButton: This object selects the previous picture in the album

  • pictureLabel: This object displays the picture

We can now take a look at the header PictureWidget.h:

#include <QWidget> 
#include <QItemSelection> 
 
namespace Ui { 
class PictureWidget; 
} 
 
class PictureModel; 
class QItemSelectionModel; 
class ThumbnailProxyModel; 
 
class PictureWidget : public QWidget 
{ 
    Q_OBJECT 
 
public: 
    explicit PictureWidget(QWidget *parent = 0); 
    ~PictureWidget(); 
...
