Qt Designer : help document viewer error.

[davediamond]

The following alert is shown in Qt Designer when I click 'help'. As you can see it's using Linux symbols AND Windows symbols when reporting the error.

Appears to be a known problem.

Looks like the most popular workaround is run assistant directly instead of calling it through the help window.

I never use designer. I find it very limiting. If you are just starting out I think you should try writing a simple program or two to learn how to program using the Qt libraries. If nothing else it will help you understand what the designer is doing and the code it produces.

Hi Dean, thanks for your comments.

Advice needed

I was going to study the coding from here :

https://realpython.com/qt-designer-pytho...-and-slots

I'm being greedy, but do you have any exercises I could work through? Perhaps a book?

What is the best free IDE to use Python, right now I have Eclipse with something called PyDev. Is there an easier way?

Where I'm at

Currently, I've made a simple design document, if you like, showing the windows, and controls I knocked up in QT Designer. It has three windows, but note it's not an IDE, so I'm lost at this point.

Using VB

I wonder if VB could be made to work on Android phones? Using an emulator perhaps. Probably not though, I fear a Windows emulator on a phone would be pushing it! One very full phone, I should imagine.

Future plans

A tutorial from the QT Company.
