Trolltech Creates Qt Solutions to Provides New Add-on Components

12/11/2003 - Trolltech®, a leader in multiplatform development frameworks, is pleased to announce the Qt® Solutions group. This group provides new add-on components and tools to extend and enhance the Qt application framework.

Qt Solutions provide platform and industry specific tools and components, as well as cutting-edge components that are too new to include directly in the Qt framework releases. Qt Solutions Components are designed to plug directly into projects based on Qt.

"We’re doing this to make life easier and more productive for our customers," said Haavard Nord, CEO and co-founder of Trolltech. "Qt Solutions provides developers with powerful components and tools that make developing with Qt even easier."

With this announcement, Trolltech is releasing the first eleven Qt Solutions components and tools. These include:

  • SOAP: The SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) component implements this XML-based standard for describing how to exchange messages. The Qt SOAP component provides web service support with version 1.1 of the SOAP protocol.
  • MFC migration tool: The Qt/MFC Migration Framework tool assists in the migration of existing Win32 or MFC applications to the Qt toolkit.
  • Pie Menu: The Pie Menu component provides circular pie menus.
  • QtService: The QtService component is useful for developing Windows services and Unix daemons.
  • Single Application: The QtSingleApplication component provides support for applications that can only be started once per user.
  • SSL Filter: The QtSSLFilter component provides SSL encryption support for QSocket controlled network connections.
  • Undo/Redo Framework: This component is an undo/redo framework based on the Command design pattern.
  • MML Widget: The QtMmlWidget component renders mathematical formulas written in MathML 2.0.
  • Thumb Wheel: The QtThumbWheel component provides a vertical or horizontal thumb-wheel widget.
  • Window Menu: The Window Menu component provides a popup menu that contains a list of windows that are currently displayed in a QWorkspace.
  • XEmbed: The XEmbed component allows developers to easily run Unix/X11 programs inside their Qt application.

Availability
Currently, all the Qt Solutions mentioned are freely available to Qt Enterprise licensees. Some components will be available under dual open source and commercial licenses.
