QtCreator new project Qt Quick Controls vs. Qt Quick


I want to create new Qt Quick project in Qt Creator and I've pressed New project, selected application name and location in Wizard, but then I am confused at next wizard's step (Qt Quick Component Selection), as seen in screen-shot:

Qt Creator New project wizard Qt Quick Component Selection

Which set should I select, Qt Quick Controls 1.3, or Qt Quick 2.4? What is the difference between them?


Solution

  • It's stated in the Qt documentation :

    In the Qt Quick component set field, select the component set to use for the project. The Qt Quick imports enable you to use the basic QML types to create user interfaces, whereas the Qt Quick Controls provide a set of ready-made controls that you can customize by using Qt Quick Controls Styles

    So that just specifies a primary import of modules. You can add other imports like Qt Quick Dialogs or Qt Quick Layouts later in your code.
