New in Qt 5.11: improvements to the model/view APIs (part 1)
The Qt model/view APIs are used throughout Qt — in Qt Widgets, in Qt Quick, as well as in other non-GUI code. As I tell my students when I deliver Qt trainings: mastering the usage of model/view classes and functions is mandatory knowledge, any non-trivial Qt application is going to be data-driven, with the data […]
Browse PDFs in a Qt Widgets application
Some months ago Shawn Rutledge blogged about the new QtPdf module, a Qt wrapper around the PDFium library, which allows you to render PDF documents to QImages. Since that blog post we have invested some more work into the module to make it more useful in your day-to-day projects.

One of them is generalized ray casting which can be used to find objects intersecting a 3d ray. Object Picking Available since 5.6, QObjectPicker can be used to detect mouse interactions with an entity. […]
Better support for CUPS features in Qt 5.11
During the last couple of months KDAB engineers have been working on improving CUPS printing support for Linux in Qt. This work has been sponsored by the LiMux project, a big thank you to them for allowing us to spend time improving Qt :). We started in early December with a series of small commits […]
Declarative Widgets adding Qt Widgets support to QML
Declarative Widgets is a QML plugin that adds Qt Widgets support to QML. This means we can now easily mix the power of QML with the comfort of a Widgets UI on desktop. Background Declarative Widgets was born out of a breakfast discussion about how awesome it would be to use QML to describe […]
C++ Modernization Brochure
New releases of the C++ language maintain incredibly strong backwards compatibility, making it easy to keep older C++ code working properly as standards march forward. C++11, C++14, and C++17 have transformed the C++ language in ways that make it as programmer-friendly as more recent languages but with many essential benefits that continue to make it […]
