Qt Creator has a wizard that can create the project for you. Our application has the name Text Editor and it is a Qt Quick Application. We can start by creating the project in Qt Creator. All files used in the application are listed for viewing in the Qt Quick Controls 1 - Text Editor Example page. The files are part of the Qt package and are available when searched for Qt Quick Text Editor in Qt Creator's Welcome mode.
Feel free to click on the links, but it is not necessary to leave the guide to find the information necessary to develop the application. The guide attempts to be self-contained but will refer to topics in the Qt reference documentation. If not, here are the pages that will help you:
This guide assumes that you have downloaded Qt and are able to install, open, and run the basic examples found in Qt Creator's Welcome Mode. We will also implement the logic and connect the user interface to a C++ backend that will handle the saving and loading of text files. We will use Qt Quick Designer to add QML controls onto our application and set up the controls and resources.
Specifically, the example uses QML to set up the user interface, C++ to implement the file operations, and the Qt tools to manage the project files and build environment. The Text Editor example is a simple example of creating an application with Qt.
