Introduction to Qt Widgets (Part 29) - Dialogs

In Qt, you can create a top level window, simply by providing nullptr as the parent. However, we still have a class called QDialog specifically for creating dialogs. Among other things it offers to wait for the dialog to be completed before your code continues execution.
In this episode, we will also discuss the difference between a model and non modal dialog, and how you create your own.

About the host:
The video is presented by Jesper Pedersen, who started with Qt back when Qt was widgets only and the version was 1.44, which gives him 21 years of experience with Qt. Since 2000 he has taught almost 100 Qt classes, ranging from Qt Widgets to QML. Heck, Jesper even taught a few classes on QTopia Core - Trolltech's initial attempt at creating a phone stack. Today Jesper holds a fancy business title, but that doesn't prevent him from coding both in his job and in his spare time.
