How can I connect Items that can be either in ListWidget 1 or LW2 to textEdit 'Description'.
The idea is to have a list with entries that have thier individual description viewed in the textEdit (and to be able to edit that description at any point). I want description to 'follow' its object to list 2.
I thought about making txt files for the text Edit 'Desccription' but there can be quite a lot of them. Is there any other way?

I'm using QTextEdit from C++ Qt5. I want to properly split and show rich text in numerated pages similarly to how it's done in Microsoft Word. I've tried document->setPageSize, however that does not work for me - text is still shown in one continuous page.
AFAIK QTextEdit doesn't support the word-processor-style concept of "pages". Rather, QTextEdit is designed around editing and viewing a continuous document, whose only delineation is at the level of "blocks" (i.e. paragraphs).
Note this telling comment in the QTextDocument::print(QPagedPaintDevice *) const method-documentation of the QTextDocument class:
If the document is not paginated, like for example a document used in
a QTextEdit, then a temporary copy of the document is created and the
copy is broken into multiple pages according to the size of the paint
device's paperRect().
In sitecore "content editor" we can use the "image editor" by clicking "edit image" in the data section, but in the experience editor it is not visible.
is there a way to make available for editors to use the image editor? or this behavior is a sitecore standard?
thanks for help

I've just written it up in a blog post.
First you'll need to add a new button under
/sitecore/system/Field types/Simple Types/Image/WebEdit Buttons
You can duplicate one of the existing ones and change the icon and text yourself. Make the contents of the Click field:
chrome:field:editcontrol({command:"webedit:changeimage"})
(there's already a webedit:editimage so we can't name it that).
Open App_Config\Include\Sitecore.ExperienceEditor.config and duplicate the entry for webedit:chooseimage. Change the command name to webedit:changeimage as per above. Then change the type to the class you will create below.
If you have access to a decompiler, take a look at the existing command Sitecore.Shell.Framework.Commands.Shell.EditImage as well as the existing command
for selecting an image in Experience Editor Sitecore.Shell.Applications.WebEdit.Commands.ChooseImage. You'll see that they're similar, but unfortunately they use two different
methods of opening a dialog (Windows.RunApplication and SheerResponse.ShowModalDialog) so we can't reuse the existing class as-is. I have created a class that uses a bit of both (link below).
Create your class (eg. EditImage.cs), make it serializable and inherit from WebEditImageCommand like the other EE buttons. I have posted the full class as a gist for you.
When you select an image in the Experience Editor, you should now have an extra button in the list which opens the image editor in a modal window when clicked.
You need to do next steps, is not the most elegant way but you can do it:
In the Experience Editor, click the image that you want to edit, and in the floating toolbar that appears, click More and then Edit the related item. This opens the item in the Content Editor, from where you can scroll to the field that contains the image and click Edit image.
Is it possible to save the current tab position/order in a QTabWidget in Qt?
What I want is basically to be able to let the users arrange the tabs as they like and then let them save the position so when they open the application again the tabs are where they were when last saved.
In the past I have done this put this only saves the window geometry.
QSettings mySettings("someName", "MyApp");
mySettings.beginGroup("MainWindow");
mySettings.setValue("geometry", saveGeometry());
mySettings.endGroup()
;
Any idea how or where can I find the information to get this done?
Thanks
Apparently there is no built-in way to do it, so you need to implement it. I don't see any possible troubles with it.
For example, you may obtain the index of each widget using QTabWidget::indexOf, or you may iterate over all tabs and obtain widgets using QTabWidget::widget, depending on which way is more convenient in your app.
When starting the app, sort your widgets by saved index and add them to the tab widget in that order.

So what im trying to do is recreate the gui in the posted video. I have the main window created, and the dialog window. Im brand new to Qt and I have been going over tutorials for all the basics. What I havent been able to find much on is how to go about storing the three values from the "new student" dialog window into the list and how to display the first and last name. I'm also not too sure on how to go about making the values editable.
This is NOT an assignment for any sort of class. I'm trying to learn for my own purposes.
Any sort of strategy for how to link the values from the dialog window to the list, and from the list to main window line edits would be very helpful to me.
A good place to start is the Qt's Model/View introduction.
LE: for a simple way to start look at QListWidget class
I'm coding a small and basic error tracker with Qt. The whole application is in a QTable.
Each error is linked to a file ; so, one of the columns of my table deals with that. I have a QLabel and a button next to it ; you click on the button to select a file, and then, the label displays the name of the file.
What I'd like to do now : the QLabel appears as a link, and when you click on it, it opens the file (with whatever app is associated to the file's extension). I'd rather it in the form of a link, because it's more obvious for the user. If I don't manage to do it, I'll go with a home QLabel herited class with a click signal, but it's not quite the same thing.
So, is what I want to do possible ?
And how would you do it ? Thanks in advance for your help !
You can use html in QLabel's text, so lets use that. Then set the QLabel to automatically open the link:
ui->label->setText("Link to file");
ui->label->setOpenExternalLinks(true);
