I have html in a QString, what widget can I use to display it?
(QWebView is not necessary as I dont access Internet)
QWebViews setHtml():
The QWebView class provides a widget that is used to view and edit web documents.
In Qt QWebView is the widget that renders pages for you - if you don't need the networking features it provides, simply don't use them.
Depending on what HTML tags you are using, you might be able to get away with a QTextEdit. It has support for most of HTML, including tables and images. Take a look at the docs and see if it fits your particular needs.
If you need something more advanced, then you will have to use the widgets in QtWebKit.

I'm setting up a carousel in Sitecore using Glass Mapper. In the foreach loop to generate each carousel item, I can get the items out easily enough and make them editable with the #Editable command. What this doesn't give, however, is finer control over the edit process. For example, I want to edit the background image using a custom button in the Experience Editor, but I need to set that up in a rendering.
If I was using straight Sitecore, it looks like I'd use Html.Sitecore().ItemRendering and pass in the carousel item as a regular Sitecore item. In this case, I have my strongly-type class from Glass Mapper, which can't be passed in that way.
Is there a comparable method in Glass Mapper for setting up an item rendering? Or is there another way to affect the Experience Editor buttons for the carousel items? I've also experimented with setting up a separate edit mode, which would work fine, but I wanted to put together a cleaner editing experience with a more WYSIWYG approach to the item.
You'll have to use Custom User Experience Buttons which will allow you to edit in Page Editor Mode.
I just googled and found couple of good article which might help you.

Try Html.Glass().BeginEditFrame() functionality built into Glass Mapper, wrapped in a #using block.
It allows you to specify the fields you wish to edit directly as params. Or if you're feeling adventurous, it can point to a full edit frame configuration in the core DB.
I am trying to write a program that will use a tabbed document interface (TDI) like seen in Notepad++ or most web browsers. I know how to build GUIs using Qt Designer, and code in Qt C++ (after a few days of playing around).
I have created an example of what each page widget will look like using Designer, and now I want to add the ability to create and testroy tabs at runtime, each containing a unique instance of the page widget. However, I have no idea how to do this without adding a class that extends QWidget, and building the page widget with code. I could go down this route, but I'm sure there must be a better way of creating a TDI; but I can't find any tutorials or examples of how to do this.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
For creating tab interfaces you should look into QTabWidget.
It is a container widget included in Qt Designer which automatically handles operations on tabs. It has several build in methods for manipulating its tabs and theirs contents.
Each page of QTabWidget is handled separately and can have different layouts and functionality.
If you want to include several different objects to one page assign a layout to it and then assign the objects to the layout.
I need to create a custom composite control for Sitecore content editor.
(I m using Sitecore 6.5)
I do not have any experience with IFrame or Custom controls
e.g.I want to implement two drop down controls, lable etc. where content authors can store values and save.
What is the best approach?
I could not find a good example which explains my scenario.
In IFrame, can we populate a layout or a sublayout? We can give external links, but it does not work for internal layouts. (If this is possible it solves half of the problem)
Or else, How can I create a custom control and integrate it with Sitecore?
Or are there any better options to achive this, Please help!
Thanks.
I have figured out the way to tackle this scenario,It's "IFrame".
I need to set the URL of my custom aspx page as the "source", good news is that Sitecore passes few parameters (itemid, language and version) to the IFrame (aspx page), so that I can use those parameters and handle data.
What I would like to do is to make a WYSIWYG editor, not a big one, just the common utilities, so bold, italic, underline, size, font, in Qt.
My approach for now is to make it in a QTextEdit, when the user click the button i get the signal and using the cursor index i put html tag, but I don't know if it's a good idea.
Any Advice?
You can always use the webkit module and relay on the contentEditable feature.
Any Advice?
Study "Order form" and "Syntax Highlighter" examples. Also, read QTextCursor and QTextDocument documentation.
I think you refer to the internal format of a document. You just need a solution to keep the formating information, so the editor/viewer can interpret it. Of cause you can choose HTML or HTML-like tags for this. I'd recommend to check out BBCodes, which are widely used for that.
By the nature of WYSIWYG the internal format should be invisible to a user. I don't know about the capabilities of QTextEdit to achieve that. Perhaps there is a HTML/BBCode extension?
i like to display image from server without downloading it , sure i can use qwebkit.
but i like to be able to display the image in some kind of list . what option do i have ?
I know that QTextEdit supports img tags, and I use them in lists. However, I don't know if it actually supports full URLs for those images, I just use images from the resource file. You could however give it a try.
Use setHTML() to set the HTML source code, setText() assumes plain-text.
You -have to- download the image manually and load it into a QPixmap to show it. You can use libcurl to download the image, it's pretty solid and works on virtually any platform. And really easy to use.
