Hello Mohannad

Thanks for sharing, the logo is wonderful, I like it :D

>> "documentation is coming soon..."

You could start by adding sample to the package, so it can be installed in ring/samples/UsingRingQML folder

At least add the usage example from README.md file as a start

Greetings,

Mahmoud

[MOHANNAD ALDULAIMI]

Hello Mahmoud,

[MOHANNAD ALDULAIMI]

Hello Bert,

This was an error occurred during developing the ringQMLObject
file , it was writing ‘l’ instead of ‘L’ , and fixed in this commits :

• update revise ringQMlObject.ring file name · mohannad-aldulaimi/ringqml@34515a1
• update package.ring - update version to avoid break of library after … · mohannad-aldulaimi/ringqml@10cf79d
• update package.ring - add ringQMLObject.ring file · mohannad-aldulaimi/ringqml@2e7161e.

Now you can use this commands :

ringpm remove ringqml

then run :

ringpm install ringqml from mohannad-aldulaimi

you will get this output:

[Antonio F.S.]

Hello everyone.

First of all, happy New Year and a prosperous 2026.

Firstly, I apologize for my ignorance regarding QMLRing, and for that reason, I ask the following: since QML is a declarative language based on JavaScript for creating dynamic and animated user interfaces (according to Wikipedia), if Ring already has UI libraries, what does QMLRing actually contribute to the ecosystem?

Best regards,
Antonio F.S.

[Mahmoud Fayed]

Hello Antonio

>> "if Ring already has UI libraries, what does QMLRing actually contribute to the ecosystem?"

RingQML brings several important advantages to the Ring ecosystem:

1. Modern, GPU‑accelerated UI
   Qt Widgets rely on a traditional raster-based rendering model, while QML uses a scene‑graph architecture that runs on the GPU. This enables smooth animations, fluid transitions, and visually rich interfaces with far better performance.
2. Mobile‑first design
   QML is significantly more suitable for mobile development than Qt Widgets. Its declarative syntax, responsive layout system, and built‑in animation capabilities make it ideal for touch‑based, adaptive UIs.
3. Full Qt power with minimal maintenance
   By supporting QML, Ring gains access to the entire Qt framework without needing to manually wrap or update every new Qt class. This dramatically reduces maintenance effort, keeps the binding lightweight, and ensures long‑term compatibility with Qt’s evolving ecosystem.
4. It's not necessary to use RingQt or RingQML directly, the developer could build an abstraction layer on top of them and decide based on needs which one to use.

Greetings,

Mahmoud

[MOHANNAD ALDULAIMI]

Hello Mahmoud, Antonio

“It’s not necessary to use RingQt or RingQML directly, the developer could build an abstraction layer on top of them and decide based on needs which one to use.”>>

I completely agree. My experience confirms that QML is superior for mobile devices due to its handling of gestures and design. Moreover, now that we are in 2026, QML’s declarative structure pairs perfectly with AI code generation. We are already seeing AI successfully create complex QML screens that meet modern design requirements.

Best regards,

Mohannad

[Antonio F.S.]

Hello Mahmoud.

I continue to be pleasantly surprised by your explanations and the speed with which you always respond, whenever possible. It's admirable.

Thank you very much.

This is very nice. One important direction for future development is adding more samples with a polished UI that showcases the beauty of QML. Sharing some applications, as you did before, would also be a very educational resource and extremely helpful for mastering RingQML.

Keep up the GREAT WORK :D

I'm having a LOT of fun working on that! I didn't count the hours I spent since the announcement and found myself writing +30 examples that show the power of Mohannad's RingQML library, and how we can embrace the QML spirit, joined to the Ring intelligence, to make all what we need for modern UIs...

I'll share the test file as a contribution to RingQML along with a didactic article maybe tonight (it's 4PM Tunisia time ) or at least tomorrow!

Hello Mahmoud, Mohannad, and All

This is the first part of my test file of RingQML. It's made to be design-oriented, demonstrating the basic principle a modern programmer should master to develop intuitive GUI applications.

All the tests are working on my side. Looking forward to your feedback...

In the second part I'm working on (and will share tomorrow), I focus on more UI-Controls-oriented use cases (combo-boxes, data grids, datavizs, etc).

Thank you Mouhannad for all the fun I got in preparing these samples !

Thank you Mahmoud for letting Ring be THE LANGUAGE OF BEAUTY AND INNOVATION !

You both helped us enter a new GUI-programming era in Ring through the support of QML.

All the best,

Mansour

Hello Mansour

Very nice samples :D

Suggestions: Separate each sample in a specific ring file for easy testing :D

Greetings,

Mahmoud 

[Mansour Ayouni]

Hello Mahmoud,

You can easily test any sample by just adding an "*/" after the sample title section. This decomments only the sample code since all other samples are commented by the opening "/*--- Sample ..." at the beginning of the title.

I found this to be very practical so I adopted it in Softanza Test File Format.

Mohannad may separate them in different files like he did for other samples to stay consistent with the structure he opted for for the RingQML library.

Best,

Mansour

[Mansour Ayouni]

Hello Mahmoud, Mohannad and All,

Here you find the second part of the test file focusing on the use of the various ui-controls provided by QML.

The third and last part will be exploring the use of QML as a bridge to other Qt features without the need of passing by RingQt.

Best,

Mansour

[Mahmoud Fayed]

Hello Mansour

>> "You can easily test any sample by just adding an "*/" after the sample title section."

>> "I found this to be very practical so I adopted it in Softanza Test File Format."

First, thank you for the beautiful samples. However, the way they are executed doesn’t match the quality of the samples themselves. It feels like receiving gold wrapped in a plain sheet of paper instead of a proper gift box.

 

(1) I need to add */ ---> 1 Second

(2) After running the sample, I need to remove */ ---> 1 Second

(3) I need to scroll down to the next sample while searching for the sample start ---> 1 Second

(4) Sometimes I forget step (2) which lead to running a previous sample (not the one I want to test)

(5) Running the last sample ---> Produce syntax error because of the comments/text at the end of the file

(6) At least 3 seconds are waster per sample, we have 30 samples ---> ONE AND HALF MINUTE IS WASTED FROM EACH PROGRAMMER

(7) Doing this with Softanza is more dangerous for two reasons

7.1 The samples are huge

7.2 This doesn't encourage testing automation and detecting errors in the samples

The samples are beautiful, and thanks again for sharing it, but as a team we should provide suggestions that helps us move forward faster.

Greetings,

Mahmoud

[Mansour Ayouni]

Hello Mahmoud,

Thank you very mutch for your honest feedback!

I'll think about it...

[Mahmoud Fayed]

Hello Mansour

You are welcome 

To quickly do this (if you want), You can add a comment before each sample like

#RingFile: sample1.ring

Then write a tool using Ring that process the file that contains all of the samples, generate separate file for each folder like (samples/sample1.ring)

This way you can continue using the one-file approach that you like, while enable distributing each sample alone.

Greetings,

Mahmoud

[Mansour Ayouni]

Hello Mahmoud,

I planned sutch tool for the future.

Now I've done it manually for the first 30 samples, so our friends can try the theme without difficulty.

I'll do the same for the other tests too.

All the best,

Mansour

Hello Mansour

Why not create a GUI for the User

That lists All the samples as a drop down list

User can Select and click on the sample he wants to execute.

Or Run them All sequentially using a Next Button or Previous Button with separate output.

[Mansour Ayouni]

Hello Bert,

I created these samples to help programmers learn how to craft code using QML and Ring. Seeing the code itself is essential to understanding how things are meant to be written.

Unfortunately, I don’t currently have the time to implement your very good suggestion, though I truly appreciate it.

Hello Mansour,

Thanks for sharing samples, I’ll test them then add them to GitHub and let you know…

For the single-test file , as Mahmoud mentioned I suggest you to use the reverse method that I used in this file:
ringqml/src/create_ring_qml_production_files.ring at main · mohannad-aldulaimi/ringqml

This file takes all cpp/header files and aggregate them to single header/cpp file for easily injection inside the .pro files.
