Qt6 Model-View Architecture in C++: Build Data Driven UIs

Qt6 Model-View Architecture in C++: Build Data Driven UIs free download

Build advanced UIs in Qt using C++ with clean architecture, reusable components, and real data models.

Build desktop apps like inventory systems, media libraries, project trackers, and finance tools—powered by Qt and C++. This course gives you the hands-on skills to master Qt’s powerful Model/View architecture so you can design UIs that are fast, scalable, and built to last.

We start with the basics—Qt’s convenience widgets like QListWidget, QTableWidget, and QTreeWidget—to build a solid foundation. From there, we dive into essential built-in models:

• QFileSystemModel for navigating and interacting with the file system

• QStringListModel for simple lists of dynamic data

• QSortFilterProxyModel to sort and filter data without changing the underlying model

You’ll then go deeper into custom model development using QAbstractItemModel:

• Read-only models for displaying external or static data

• Editable models with support for user interaction

• Models that support adding/removing rows and custom data roles

• Table models that mirror real-world tabular structures

• Tree models to manage hierarchical data like org charts or file explorers

To enhance interactivity and UX, you’ll build custom delegates and editors:

• Custom painting and editing using delegates

• A reusable star rating widget and editor

You’ll also implement drag-and-drop:

• Between standard widgets

• At the item level within views

• In fully custom models

Finally, you’ll apply all your knowledge in a real-world capstone project: building an Expense Tracker UI backed by SQLite.

By the end of this course, you’ll have the skills to build complex, data-driven applications such as inventory systems, project management tools, media libraries, personal finance apps, and configuration editors—all using Qt and C++.

Whether you're a Qt beginner or a seasoned developer looking to deepen your skills, this course will take your Qt UI development to the next level.
