Custom Widgets in Qt-Toolbox of Visual Studio
Message 1 in thread
Hi,
I created a Qt Designer Plugin with Visual Studio.
It works within the Designer.
But in won't show up in the Qt-Toolbox of Visual Studio.
I use Visual Studio 2003 .Net, Qt 4.3.0 Comercial and Visual Studio
Integration 1.3.0.
I builded the plugin in release mode and installed it into the plugin
folder of Visual Studio Integration as it was written in the qt-dokumentation...without success.
Inside the plugin folder are plugins
(for example worldtimeclockplugin.dll (from examples))
which also dont appear in the Qt Toolbox.
Those were installed during the intallation of Visual
Studio Integration.
What am I doing wrong?
I'll be grateful for any help.
regards
Hans Schmidt

Since you have a commercial license (with a support contract, i suppose) you should ask trolltech support about this.
The VS Integration is closed source, so there is not much the community can do about it.
Why is it not open sourced? It sucks not to have the source!
My guess is, the code is probably not of the same level of quality as the rest of Qt, so they don't want to show it.
Another guess would be that they don't want the integration to be available to non-customers in order to sell more licenses.
Cheers,
Peter

Did you ask support and they told you that custom widget plugins are
"not supposed to appear"? Or is this your guess?

As Peter said, you need to contact Qt support with this question. It's
possible that you have to store your application in another directory for the
VS plugin to pick it up. It's also possible that you just can't do this.
I never tried doing this myself, because I always end up so annoyed with the
designer integration that I run designer separately.
If you do figure out a way, please post it here, so others can google their
way to it.
Bo.

Currently I'm using VS2003 on Vista with the Qwt library with a working
plugin in the Qt toolbar.
My files are located as listed below, maybe it gives you a clue.
C:\Program Files\Trolltech\Qt VS Integration\plugins\qwt_designer_plugin.dll
C:\Qt\4.3.4\plugins\designer\qwt_designer_plugin.dll
C:\Qt\4.3.4\plugins\designer\qwt_designer_plugin.lib

I asked my workmates about that Problem.
We created custom widgets on a Computer with Visual Studio 2003 Net,
Qt 4.2.3. and Qt VS Integration 1.2.2.
It worked.
Then we did the same steps on a Computer with VS 2003 net, Qt 4.3.0
and Qt VS Integration 1.3.0 and it didn't work.
@ Jan which Version do you use?
I will have to contact the customer support like Peter saíd.
Maybe they can help me.

I'm using Qt 4.3.4 Commercial version and Qt VS Integration 1.3.3.
Used different version of Qt, no problem.
I think you should ugrade to the latest version of Qt VS Integration.
