    Question A Style Question of how Code & Files are Organised !

    Hi All,

    Most of all the Qt examples and structures i have familiarised myself to are simple and restricted to around 3 files which might include (main.cpp, form1.h & form1.cpp).

    Lets say your developing a Dialog application with a QTabWidget with many tabs, and each tab contains many buttons/widgets. While both the form1.h class and main.cpp files are quite manageable, the form1.cpp implementation file is becoming VERY LARGE !!!

    I would like to ask you what are your preferences in terms of how you would partition/organise this implementation ?

    Some simple examples would be really useful too !

    Many Thanks & looking forward to your replies.

    You can implement each tab in a separate class (and separate two files) and then integrate them using a wrapping class. You can also refactor any class into smaller parts and use them. So the area to experiment is practically infinite.
    Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.

    Please ask Qt related questions on the forum and not using private messages or visitor messages.

    I would put the Dialog class into it's own directory, along with a class for each tab, which would be in there own file in that directory. The controller class (which the tab classes would communicate with) would also be in that directory.
