One little question: - how do I read the Qt docs? Do I read the official one and hope that the C/C++ Qt functions have the same name in FPC? Or is there a deposit for this? - do I import the Qt units in FPC to make that program or do I use the Lazarus Source code editor without a form [visual design IDE] as it would be easier? - Any other info you could tell me that may be usefull? Of course, I'll tackle these cosmetic bugs as soon as my GED is over. [General Education Development Test. :P I just finished high-school and taking my big exams now in hope that I'll end at the Politechnic Faculty in Bucharest :D so time is of the esence right now].
Sorry to ask you such questions, but information is quite sparse.
