I'm searching for a consultation, or maybe an opinion, a suggestion, or something like this.
I'm starting a project (desktop application) that is something like an IDE for writing books/reports. I'm planing to introduce LaTeX features, if I can name them in a such way.
So the question is: Is it possible to integrate a LaTeX script or plug-in in my software in order to have the needed features?
Waiting for questions or suggestions on my topic.
Thanks in advance!
P.S. Sorry if this topic was already posted.
Not sure I understand your question correctly. I never heard of some kind of LaTeX library or plugin of some kind, which is readily available to be integrated in other programs.
You tagged your question 'qt' so I assume, you use Qt as your framework. The only way I see to integrate LaTeX into Qt is using QProcess. Write your LaTeX code, start pdflatex with QProcess. The question then is if you can do something with the created pdf file.
Look for MikTeX and TeXworks. If you google those, you should be able to get the links to download those. That should do what you need.

I am doing a computer vision project where i have to recognize the text in an image and output it. So I want to develop a simple GUI for my C++ code, where I can show the image in a frame and show the recognized text next to it in some text box. I have no previous experience in developing GUIs, but i think it shouldn't be hard since the interface is not complicated. I am using windows 8 and both eclipse and netbeans are installed. Please provide me with the steps and packages I need to download. Any references to some tutorials or code will be very appreciated.
I suggest to use Qt, the cross-platform application framework.
Download Qt:
Drag and drop features with C++ IDE.
Many video tutorials are available on the web.

I'm looking to start developing Linux, specifically graphical elements and visuals. For example, the gnome-panel. I would be developing graphical interfaces like that. So the question is, what do I need to know? What resources do I need? I've looked all around for resources and I've discovered qt (of course) FVWM, and looked through an archived version of lynucs.org. So, what should I begin with? I haven't found a single tutorial on creating graphical elements for linux, so hopefully someone here can help me.
Thanks.
In Qt you have a very good documentation. You can start with some easy tutorials and than work on with more advanced concepts.
Here is a good starting point: http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.1/qtdoc/gettingstarted.html
If you are looking to develop desktop components that integrate with Linux desktops, then the answer is not straightforward. Depending on the desktop environment you develop for, you have to use different libraries.
If it is for Gnome, then definitely look into GTK+, or more recently Javascript.
If it is for KDE, then you should use Qt, as KDE is written entirely in Qt.
For working on gnome-panel (or some other GNOME component), you could look into GTK+.

I recently ditched C# for C++ because I enjoy coding in it much more.
However, I really do miss Windows Forms and how simple it was to create windows, buttons, etc.
Are there any good C++ libraries out there similar to .NET windows forms? I CAN use C++/CLI, but it bugs me that there isn't any intellisense in Visual Studio!
You may want to look at Qt. I find that the signals and slots is a fairly simple concept to pick up if you're used to Windows Forms.
I would recommend you Qt. It has got great documentation and it is really simple to learn and use. Also it has huge abilities. For example Google Earth was using it :) Here some more informations.
Try wxWidgets. It compiles on many differnt plattforms and in contrast to Qt features native widgets, significantly imporving usability.

I have a program un C++/Qt written for Windows, which prints some graphs in pdf format and some other data in HTML.
I need to print all together into a single PDF, a single-file report.
I have looked for some libraries similar to Crystal reports, but I just find paid ones and I need a free open-source solution. I finally found RTK reports but it looks to run only with UNIX.
Any library or different solution for my needs?
You might want to check out what Qt has built into it in versions 4.7 & 4.8. From Qt 4.8: Printing with Qt, there is this little tidbit "Qt's printing system also enables PostScript and PDF files to be generated...." The QPrinter class supports several different Output Formats, including PDF.
Disclaimer: I haven't played with this part of Qt, so YMMV.

I am looking for a simple C++ library for tokenizing and parsing RTF (Rich Text Format) files. I am planning to edit them with Qt's QTextEdit.
More the Formatting preserved the better -- but actually I am planning to use Bold and Italics only.
In perl I would use RTF::Tokenizer.
It would be nice if the module had some sort of interface for writing also, but I am able to brute force that with a template and some regular expressions.
I helped writing the RTF import export filter in KOffice. You can have a look at the code at https://cgit.kde.org/koffice.git/tree/filters/kword/rtf. The code is modular and it depends only on Qt.
A quick SourceForge search suggests librtf. It hasn't been developed in a while, but is listed as stable and is under the LGPL. I don't know whether it will support what you need, but I always suggest searching SourceForge for libraries.
You can ask the #koffice guys on irc.freenode.org over irc. Their program kword is able to open RTF files, and is indeed also written in Qt. I'm sure they would be glad to tell you about how they do it.
