Doubt large-scale project qt
Hello, first of all I would like to apologize in case the question is already resolved in some thread.
I am carrying out a project with visual basic and would like to do the interface with Qt 5.9 and QML 2. It is the first time that I use qt and qml and therefore I have doubts and problems.
The first thing I wanted to comment is if there is a good tutorial anywhere where I explain: how to structure the project, how to integrate it with what I already have from visual basic and how to configure it.
Above all I want to know how to configure it correctly with qt 5.9 and QML2 for all possible platforms (This section is where more problems arise with tutorials that I have found through the internet) and it is very important that it is a large project and therefore I need a good structuring so much.
Thanks in advance.

As far as I know there is no way to use Qt with or without the QML layer as the UI for a Visual Basic application. VB is Basic, Qt is C++. If there was COM API for Qt, then you could use it that way, but there is no such thing.
The only links I see on Google discuss porting VB code to C++.

This part aside, would there be any structuring / organization and configuration tutorials?
Thanks for your help.

But long term a rewrite might be the best solution in any case.

My interpretation of the OP's question was that he wanted to use Qt from within his VB application. The ActiveQt framework is the other way around - you use Qt to host COM / ActiveX controls, not use VB as a host for Qt widgets. This is what I meant by "no COM API for Qt".

Qt distributions come with a huge set of examples and tutorials and the Qt documentation is extensive. Structuring a large Qt application is no different from structuring an application written in any object-oriented framework: separate the business logic from the UI, and separate the data model from both.
For my personal practices, my apps are all large - hundreds of thousands of lines of code - and are written such that application logic and data structures are in plain, vanilla C++ and Qt is used only for user interaction, visualization, and (via the Model/View Framework) mapping between internal data structures and the UI.
Others prefer to take advantage of Qt's reimplementation of much of the C++ Standard Library and other core libraries and write everything using Qt.
