Cross-Platform Capabilities
Eunki Hong, Principal Research Engineer at Xycron, explains that they first heard about Qt from a customer, when they were looking for a cross-platform IDE during the development of a new product. Over the past years, Qt embedded technology has become an integral part of development work at Xycron.
Xycron only develops products for desktop PC application. When faced with the challenge to develop a multi-OS solution the team was unsure how they could support cross platform solutions. “We were able to solve this by using Qt, furthermore certain functions need high performance in our product so we also began using multi-threading (Qt Concurrent) for this purpose. CAM solutions require easy and powerful GUI development (Form Layout, Resizable Dialog) as our team develops many dialogs and UIs. We have also found Qt Widgets to be a very valuable tool, saving development and management time for GUI development.” Eunki continues, “We have many data models such as lists and tables, which can be done with the MVC (model-view-controller) making it easy to create, display, and manage models. The Signal & Slot method makes it easy to communicate between widgets, we have many widgets that need to communicate each other, so this also saves development time.”
