type cast from int to QString

I am a windows programmer looking to get started in Linux. I have chosen kdevelop and qt to design and code. How big is the learning curve when moving from a msdn enviroment to a Linux enviroment?

I could use any resourses for kdevelop and qt that anyone may have, I have a few already but you can never have enough.

Now for the big question I am goofing with a turorial and I need to know how to type case from an int to a QString?

Code:

#include <qlineedit.h>

#include <qcombobox.h>

#include <qmultilineedit.h>

#include "sigcreate.h"



SigCreate::SigCreate(QWidget* parent, const char* name, WFlags fl)

    : Form1(parent,name,fl)

{}



SigCreate::~SigCreate()

{}



/*$SPECIALIZATION$*/

void SigCreate::slotCreateSig()

{

        QString TestString;

        int StringLength;

        

        TestString = nameBox->text();

        StringLength = TestString.length();

        

        sigBox->setText(TestString);

        sigBox->append("\n--");

        // sigBox->append(Cstr(StringLenght));

}

Does my windoz experiance hang out?

Got it if anyone else wants to know use QVariant like so:

Code:

#include <qlineedit.h>

#include <qcombobox.h>

#include <qmultilineedit.h>

// ADDED THIS

#include <qvariant.h>

#include "sigcreate.h"



SigCreate::SigCreate(QWidget* parent, const char* name, WFlags fl)

    : Form1(parent,name,fl)

{}



SigCreate::~SigCreate()

{}



/*$SPECIALIZATION$*/

void SigCreate::slotCreateSig()

{

        QString TestString;

       // ADDED THIS 

        QVariant StringLength;

        QString CastedString;

        

        TestString = nameBox->text();

        StringLength = TestString.length();

        CastedString = StringLength.toString();

        

        sigBox->setText(TestString);

        sigBox->append("\n--");

        sigBox->append(CastedString);

        

        

}

Whaaat? Just use the static function QString::number(yourInteger), which also works with doubles / longs etc....
