Officially, There were QtQuickControls: https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtquickcontrols-index.html https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtquickcontrols-index.html . No one i knew really cared for them though.
Most of the time, QtQuick was meant to target embedded/mobile world, while QtWidgets - desktop.
QtQuickControls 1.0 have been a dumpster fire anyway. So we had to write our own for performance reasons.
QtQuickControls 2.0 were a bit of a licensing headache iirc. (Most of the companies i worked for stuck with Qt5.6 for licensing reasons).
- sho_hn 3y agoQt Quick Controls still exist and are supported and actively developed - in the 2.x version range, since 2016.
- saidinesh5 3y agoYeah but they were officially released with Qt 5.7 no? iirc they had a different license too. LGPL v3 was a problem for most of the companies i worked for back then. None of them purchased a commercial Qt license. The situation was so weird that even during 2021, they were just using Qt 5.6. Slowly they started moving away to Electron and other tech. (devs were cheaper/easier to find). The closest thing to QQC 2.0 we had was something called QSkinny. Every Qt < 5.6 project I worked on, we ended up reimplementing the same common widgets. 4-5 times. I lost track of things after that.
