At times I find myself editing the XML files on Qt creator rather than using the drag and drop interface for example if I can’t get my widgets in the correct row of my grid layout. Is there a good reference anywhere on how to lay UIs out using XML? For example, I’d been interested in altering the visibility of a checkbox in the XML rather than in C++ code… is this doable, or am I too much in the WPF mindset? Either way, I’d still be interested in that reference.
You may find the Qt Designer’s UI File Format page useful.
I generally just use the designer to prototype something quickly, and then code it up in C++ once the design is correct. Breaking the UI up into custom widgets, rather than one massive form often produces something more manageable.
