+ \title The QMsDev Plugin
+
+ The Visual Studio Integration Plugin is currently available only to users of
+ Visual Studio 6. It offers simple ways of doing common tasks when writing a
+ Qt application.
+
+ \tableofcontents
+
+ \section1 How to install the Visual Studio Integration Plugin
+
+ When you install Qt, the integration plugin should be installed for you,
+ however, sometimes this does not happen, so to install the integration
+ plugin manually just carry out the following steps.
+
+ \list
+ \i Start up Visual Studio.
+ \i Select Tools|Customize|Add-ins and Macro Files.
+ \i Ensure that there is a tick next to QMsDev Developer Studio Add-In.
+ \i Click Close.
+ \endlist
+
+ Now the integration plugin should be installed. If this doesn't
+ work, then contact Qt technical support giving details of
+ what went wrong.
+
+ \section1 How to uninstall the Visual Studio Integration Plugin
+
+ When you want to uninstall the integration plugin, just carry out the
+ following steps.
+
+ \list
+ \i Close down any instances of Visual Studio.
+ \i Delete the file '%MSDevDir%\\addins\\qmsdev.dll'
+ \endlist
+
+ \section1 What can the Visual Studio Integration Plugin do?
+
+ The integration plugin adds the following options to Visual Studio:
+
+ \list
+ \i New Qt Project
+ \i New Qt Dialog
+ \i Qt Designer
+ \i Open Qt Project
+ \i Write Qt Project
+ \i Use Qt In Current Project
+ \i Add MOC
+ \endlist
+
+ \section2 Using the 'New Qt Project' button
+
+ The 'New Qt Project' button allows you to create a simple Qt project
+ ready for development. Simply fill in the form and if you select
+ 'Dialog' or 'Main Window' without MDI support then it will
+ automatically start up \e{Qt Designer}. When you have finished with
+ the form in \e{Qt Designer} just save it and it will appear in a
+ ready made Qt project.
+
+ If you select 'Main Window' with 'MDI Support' then it will simply
+ give you a code skeleton in a project ready for you to populate with
+ your own code.
+
+ \section2 Using the 'New Qt Dialog' button
+
+ The 'New Qt Dialog' button works in two ways: You can use it to create a new
+ dialog for your project; or you can use it to insert an existing
+ dialog into your project.
+
+ If you want to create a new dialog then all you need to do is specify where
+ the dialog file should be saved and give it a name. This will start up
+ \e{Qt Designer} to allow you to design your new dialog, and will add it to
+ the existing project.
+
+ If you want to add an existing dialog to your project, then just select the
+ relevant UI file. This will then add it to your existing project and add
+ the relevant steps to create the generated code.
+
+ \section2 Using the 'Qt Designer' button
+
+ The 'Qt Designer' button simply starts up \e{Qt Designer}, it has no ties to
+ your existing project so whatever you do with it will not affect your
+ existing projects. It can also be started up by using the Ctrl+Shift+D key
+ combination in Visual Studio.
+
+ \section2 Using the 'Open Qt Project' button
+
+ The 'Open Qt Project' button allows you to convert an existing \c
+ qmake project file into a \c .dsp file which you can insert into
+ your existing workspace. When you click the 'Open Qt Project'
+ button, just select an existing \c qmake project file (a \c .pro
+ file) and then click OK. You will get a message box at the end
+ which asks you to insert the newly created \c .dsp file into your
+ existing workspace.
+
+ \section2 Using the 'Write Qt Project' button
+
+ The 'Write Qt Project' button creates a \c qmake project (\c .pro)
+ file for your current project so that you can easily copy the files
+ onto another platform and be able to use \c qmake to create a Makefile
+ on that other platform. All you need to do is make the project you
+ want to create a \c .pro file for, and click on the button. Just
+ name your \c qmake project file and click Save.
+
+ \section2 Using the 'Use Qt In Current Project' button
+
+ The 'Use Qt In Current Project' button simply adds in the necessary
+ information for the current project so that it links against Qt and
+ sets any other settings needed to use Qt in that project.
+
+ \section2 Using the 'Add MOC' button
+
+ The 'Add MOC' button will add in the custom build step for the selected file
+ so that it creates any needed MOC files and it will add these generated
+ files to the project. All you need to do to use it is click on a file that
+ has Q_OBJECT and click the button.
+
+ You only need to use this button if you added a file that has
+ Q_OBJECT in it by hand, you don't need to use this if you used any
+ of the previously mentioned buttons. It can also be invoked by using
+ the \key{Ctrl+Shift+M} key combination in Visual Studio.
