Qt VS Tools integrate the Qt development tools into Microsoft Visual Studio 2013, and later. This enables developers to use the standard Windows development environment without having to worry about Qt-related build steps or tools. An older version, called Qt Visual Studio Add-in, worked with Visual Studio 2008 upto Visual Studio 2013.

The main features of Qt VS Tools are:

  • Wizards for creating new Qt projects and classes.
  • Automated build setup for the Meta-Object Compiler (moc), User Interface Compiler (uic), and Resource Compiler (rcc).
  • Import and export of Qt project files (.pro) and project include files (.pri).
  • Automated conversion of a Qt VS Tools project to a qmake project, or the other way around.
  • Integrated Qt resource management.
  • Creating a Qt translation source (TS) file and starting Qt Linguist to translate the strings.
  • Integrated Qt documentation.
  • Debugging extensions for Qt data types.

A quick start guide can be found here.
