Qt has both Qt Designer and Qt Creator to build GUIs with drag and drop.
- toyg 6y agoIsh - Designer is basically deprecated and unloved.
- GloriousKoji 6y agoIt's not just the drag and drop, it's the drag and drop and edit (single) callback. Like drag a button in the middle, resize it, change the text and then right-click and start coding what pushing it does. Now a days it's not push button but mouse over, mouse down, mouse up, press, long press, triggered, etc. etc. and I have to manually find or create the right source code file linking itself to the GUI form file.
- systemvoltage 6y agoOmg that sounds amazing.
- 72deluxe 6y agoThis drag & drop behaviour is still perfectly viable in WinForms eg. using C#. Never quite a polished as Borland's offering of yesteryear (the GUI editor always felt clunky) but it's perfectly do-able.
- nurettin 6y agoQt and it's designer is great until you try to deploy to mobile devices. That aside, I find the non-visual components of delphi/lazarus the easiest to use when doing GUI work for the desktop. You drag a data connection, a datasource, give it a table, some filtering, connect it to a grid and the grid handles all the CRUD operations for you. Even at design time! Hard to find that ease in Qt. PS: I really love Qt. It lets me do things no other framework can easily do. I love building performant, graphically heavy and fast user interfaces. It just wasn't built for mass-producing desktop forms that are connected to a DB.
