#go-qt5

##Before you start
This is a fork of visualfc's qt4 bindings, and several critical bugs are inherited along the way. Until these bugs are fixed, **this package is not recommended for any real use**.
I don't have any time to actively work on this project, but I'll keep reviewing and merging pull requests.

Some other Qt-related, active go projects:
* [Qt bindings for Go](https://github.com/therecipe/qt)
* [QML bindings for Go](https://github.com/niemeyer/qml).

##Before filing an issue
* Please read the above section first.
* Make sure it's specifically about the go-qt5 wrappers, and not "how do I do XYZ in Qt?". Such questions are better placed in [Qt5 forums](http://qt-project.org/forums).
* If you find that go-qt5 lacks the wrapper for a particular class you need, feel free to send a patch.

##Introduction
go-qt5 provides with qt5 bindings for Go programming language, based on visualfc's go-ui library.

Lua code that generates the wrappers (`uiobjs.go` and `cdrv.cpp`) can be found under `make`.

The wrapper code is by far incomplete, so pull requests are more than welcome. Adding new functionality usually consists of editing or adding files under `make/qt5`, and updating `make/make.lua` script, and making relevant changes in `qt5` and `qtdrv`.

##A minimal example

	package main

	import (
	    "github.com/salviati/go-qt5/qt5"
    )
    
    func main() {
	    qt5.Main(func() {
		    w := qt5.NewWidget()
		    w.SetWindowTitle(qt5.Version())
		    w.SetSizev(300, 200)
		    defer w.Close()
		    w.Show()
		    qt5.Run()
	    })
    }
