Hi,

I am programming using OpenSG and I want to use Qt for having a better 
interface for user interaction. I found a tutorial how to combine Qt and 
OpenSG, this one:

http://www.opensg.org/doc-1.4.0/QT.html

However, I do not manage to make it work. I have Qt Version 4.1.4 installed, 
and OpenSG Version 1.6.0, and Visual Studio .NET 2003. The tutorial seems to 
be for an older version of Qt.

I can not find OSGQGLManagedDesignerWidget and i cannot create it, because 
there is no dialog that allows me to create my own classes. Can anybody tell 
me how to place my own custom Widget in the form, so that OpenSG can handle 
the content? Would be great to have a tutorial of  how to do it with the 
actual version of Qt.

If I am in the wrong newgroup for this problem, please let me know.

Thanks

You probably want to post to the Qt mailing list - look at 
http://lists.trolltech.com/.

At a guess, I'd say you're OpenSG installation was done before 
installing Qt, or maybe you got the Qt path wrong. The reason
you don't see the widget you're expecting is that there is
no such widget in the Qt plugins/designer directory.

That's a bit old, I'm not sure if they actually updated it but the
(theoretically:) most current version is at:

http://www.opensg.org/doc-1.6.0/QT.html

I think at least the current CVS version works with Qt 4, dunno about
the 1.6 release.

I've never actually used it, but it is included in my version in the
WindowQtLib. Perhaps you didn't install/build that one.

I know it's not much help, but you could try asking on the user list,
it's usually very responsive and you should get an answer directly from
the core developers within a very short timeframe.

The user list is at:

https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/opensg-users

A good (as in actually working as opposed to the one at SF) archive is at:

http://www.mail-archive.com/opensg-users%40lists.sourceforge.net/

(If you want to do any development with OpenSG I highly recommend that
you subscribe to the list.)
