[Qt-creator] Automatic handler creation + crossplatform project...

[Ernst Huber]

Hi Alex

You find the signal/slot editor in the editor toolbar or press F4. Then 
you can conveniently connect related widgets and handle signals/slots as 
required. Connect signals to existing or your own defined slots. But 
regarding your message it's more about actions - which have their own 
window always visible below the form design area. Just press the "new" 
button and define your action. I presume you know that actions are 
mainly for menus and toolbars. So if you have your actions defined drag 
them to their position in a menu and/or in a toolbar. As far as i know 
the handlers for actions must be implemented manually, there's no 
"visual" in the IDE - but this is how Desginer (which is integrated into 
Creator) works. In my opinion it's little extra work to do it like this, 
even more, I prefer writing my own code as compared to other IDE's 
(Visual ...) where the code generators often prepend the code with 
"don't change this or that..." and one has little clue why.

Regards
Ernst
