    Question Good looking app wihout QtQuick?

    Hi.
    I have to make an application that would use C++ and QSerialPort (smart house system) and look minimalistic and user-friendly (like QtQuick apps).
    Should I go for the QtQuick and (somehow???) connect it to the QWidget classes (or backwards - QtQuick UI to QWidget project) or is there a good way to make an phone-like app with QtWidget?
    Thank You in advance.

    If you want a phone like app, then you definitely want to go with QtQuick.

    Any reason you can't use it?

    Cheers,

    Well I am new to Qt and especially QtQuick, so I don't know how to, f.e. make a MouseArea that will onclicked send signal to main.cpp to use a function that will return a number between 0 and 5, then print the number into a QtQuick Text field. I am trying to do something with QQmlProperty. I have smth like

    Qt Code:
    1. QApplication app(argc, argv);
    2. QQmlApplicationEngine engine2;
    3. QQmlEngine engine;
    4. QQmlComponent component(&engine,QUrl::fromLocalFile("/home/smth/main.qml"));
    5. QObject *object = component.create();
    6. QObject *rect = object->findChild<QObject*>("applicationWindow1");
    7. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    How do I add smth like
    Qt Code:
    1. rect->setProperty("visibility", "FullScreen");
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    to applicationWindow1

    or change a Text field in smth like.
    Qt Code:
    1. name->setProperty("thisisthename")
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    Or in any other way i need to make a connection between QML and .cpp files.

    That's way to complicated.

    Just use the QQmlApplicationEngine with a Window in the QML file or a QQuickWindow.

    In either case prepare a QObject derived class as the interface that your C++ offers to QML.
    Create an object of that class before loading the QML into the engine/view and set it via the root context's setContextPropery() method.

    Any slot or Q_INVOKABLE marked method on that object can then be called from QML.

    Cheers,
