opening exe files, comercial version vs opensource

[Gily]

thanks . I am subscribed .
Another question:

I need to create a dialog that will be activated from the main menu
I want the function to open a dialog that the user can choose color.
I read I need to use ColorListEditor . still not sure if I need to create a widget? if I understand correctly no need to delete it later?
what widget to I need to use? is it a window? do I need to implamant it?
it is common to create new class for this window? or do you usualy create a base class that handle all wndows in the application?
or do I just inhirate the needed widjet to the function that handle the image?
hope I am clear
thanks

It there a reson why sometimes the app include in different ways??
why the different ways are needed and when should I use them?

#include <QComboBox>
 
 class QColor;
 class QWidget;
 
 class ColorListEditor : public QComboBox
 {
     Q_OBJECT
     Q_PROPERTY(QColor color READ color WRITE setColor USER true)

#include <QComboBox>

 class QColor;
 class QWidget;

 class ColorListEditor : public QComboBox
 {
     Q_OBJECT
     Q_PROPERTY(QColor color READ color WRITE setColor USER true)

• Use meaningful thread titles. "few general question" tells nothing about actual thread context.
• Do not ask multiple unrelated questions in same thread.
• Search Qt docs & examples and the forums first, then ask.

Another question:
I want to do sub menu. I mean I have menu in the top of the application with the right slot who calls the function
like in save ->save function

now I want the function to open a dialog that the user can choose color.
I read I need to use ColorListEditor . still not sure if I need to create a widget? if I understand correctly no need to delete it later?
also not sure what s the result of that class. do I need to use the visual editor for that?
hope I am clear

I'm afraid you're not very clear. Of course you need to create a widget if you want to show an additional window. A modal dialog may be allocated on the stack, any other widget may not.

Forward declaration

[Gily]

what I wanted to know , if there is common use/agreement for QT users when to use Forward_declaration an when to include?
is there a way /convention?

It is a good practice to use forward declarations whenever possible. It will make compilation faster. A forward declaration is enough when the corresponding type is only used as a reference or as a pointer, in other words, when the compiler doesn't need to know actual size of the type. I'm sure this is all explained in more detailed in the given wiki article.
