QtCreator is an IDE from Nokia for Qt. It contains QtDesigner for UI design.
 
= Creating a new program =
 
Qt Designer is a graphical program which allows you to easily build user interfaces, using a ''drag n drop'' interface. Here is a short example how it can go, for more information read the [http://qt.nokia.com/doc/designer-manual.html user documentation].
 
;Step 0:
Call Qt Designer from within the [http://labs.trolltech.com/page/Projects/Tools/QtCreator QtCreator] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_development_environment IDE]:
qtcreator
 
;Step 1:
Add the widgets you want by drag-and-drop

;Step 2:
Select the mainwindow. This is the one un-intuitive step. To lay out the objects in the mainwindow, you do not select the objects in the mainwindow, but the mainwindow itself.

;Step 3:
Select Form -> Lay Out in a <u>G</u>rid

;Result:
You get a decent look, and if you resize the window, the widgets resize as well.

== Adding a toolbar ==
To add a toolbar, right-click on the UI and choose "Add Toolbar". Then you can set icons and text in your mainwindow's constructor with code like this:
ui->toolBar->addAction(QIcon("/usr/share/icons/oxygen/22x22/apps/ktip.png"),"hello world");
