Is there a good source for 3rd party QT GUI controls?

Question

I have tried to find them through Google but haven't had much luck. I know the number of 3rd party controls is not as big as .NET or Java, but surely there are some out there better than what comes with the library?

Solution 1

Qwt is a source for graphing and technical components and Solutions Catalog has the property browser as well as many other useful widgets.

Also available are the Embedded Widget Demos, ofi-labs, and qt-labs.

ofi-labs is by a former Qt employee, the others are official.

Edit: Almost forgot, diagramming is covered by this example: GraphicsView - Diagram Scene

Solution 2

free: qt-apps.org

proprietary: qt-prop.org

there are Widgets and Components categories

Solution 3

Look at the nice Qt Property Browser/Editor: http://doc.trolltech.com/solutions/4/qtpropertybrowser/index.html

Solution 4

It's not exactly third party, but take a look at the Qt Solutions Catalog. Qt Solutions has been discontinued, but there is an archive.

There's also wwWidgets, although I've never had cause to use anything it provides.

For a property editing widget, see this SO question.

I doubt you'll find a general purpose diagramming widget that works exactly the way you want it to. You're probably going to have to do some work yourself on this one. To get started, take a look at The Graphics View Framework.

Take another look at the lists of widgets and classes Qt provides. There's an awful lot there, and I rarely find Qt to be deficient. When I need something special, it's usually not too hard to build a custom widget that does what I need.

Are you looking for something in particular? What do you think is missing from the standard Qt widgets?

I am looking for starters for a property grid control, similar to the one used by QT's GUI designer.

Thanks, the other biggie is a diagramming component, one that allows you to provide visual graphing, flow charting, etc.
