I'm working on a C++11 project with Qt. I have VS configured so that if I open the Qt .ui files in the solution explorer they open up in Qt Designer. If I use Alt + Shift + o to open these files they open up twice.
Kind Regards Palli

Thank you for the follow-up. Maybe it will be useful if someone else run into this problem. |

I have found a fix.
When you right click on a .ui file in the solution explorer and go to "Open With" you can select what to open the file with and furthermore set what to open it with by default. Now for me there are two "Qt Designers" to choose from. The only difference between them is that one is removable but the other isn't. If I set the not removable one I get the aforementioned behaviour but not when I use the removable one.
Thanks for the help and sorry for wasting your time.
Regards Palli

1. Two instances of the Qt Designer open with the design inside it. One design in each designer.
2. At some point I had the .ui files open in the VS XML editor. Then I changed it back to the Qt Designer. I didn't remember what was the default. |

Thank you very much for the detailed explanation. After installing the addin, everything works like a charm.
Now about the problem: I have created a clean new Qt Application using the following steps:
1. File -> New -> Project...
2. Qt5 Projects -> Qt Application
3. The name of the project: qtapp1
(Certainly, I needed to specify qt version first. Which means selecting qmake.exe in the options dialog after clicking on the "Add" button)
Now, if I open the qtapp1.ui using the solution explorer, it opens the QT Designer app, which is a separate program, not a Visual Studio window.
I closed this app.
Now I open the Open File in Solution dialog, and open the same file (qtapp1.ui). The QT Designer app opens, once.
quote:
I have VS configured so that if I open the Qt .ui files in the solution explorer they open up in Qt Designer. If I use Alt + Shift + o to open these files they open up twice.
1. What do you mean by "open up twice"? Is QT Designer opens twice, meaning 2 separate icon on the taskbar, OR two separate designs inside QT Designer?
2. I didn't need to configure anything. Did you do any additional steps? .ui files are shown in the dialog by default and opens the QT Designer for me.
When I open the .ui file again either via solution explorer or via the dialog, QT designer just pops in (gets focused), without starting another instance of the designer or another instance of the ui inside the designer. |

What you installed is the Qt framework for windows. You also need to install Visual Studio Add-in 1.2.2 for Qt5. Go to http://qt-project.org/downloads click "Show Download" and on the bottom of the page you have "Other downloads".
After writing all that I realized I could just add a link ;)
http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/vsaddin/qt-vs-addin-1.2.2-opensource.exe
It is normal not to have Qt listed in the extension manager, but you should get Qt related templates, QT5 on your toolbar and Qt Add-in 1.2.2 should be listed in the Add-in Manager.
FYI, I'm using Qt5.1.1 which has Qt Creator 3.0.0 an Qt Designer 5.1.1 . I can't find a link to the 5.1.1 versions online installer but you can find the regular one here:
https://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qt/5.1/5.1.1/
but I doubt this is important. |

I would like to reproduce this issue here. However, I have never used QT integration with Visual Studio. I have a few question regarding this.
I have installed qt-opensource-windows-x86-msvc2012-5.2.1.exe but cannot find any setting in VS2012 related to QT, and it is not listed in the extension manager.
I cannot create QT project, either.
I created a new QT project, with QT creator, but it doesn't have a Visual Studio project file.
Did I install the right file? |
