- An application main window (QMainWindow).
- Menu bar (QMenu and QMenuBar).
- Tool bars (QToolBar) and status bar (QStatusBar).
- Actions (QActions).
- QTextEdit for text inputs.
- Some useful inbuilt dialogs, including for file selection (QFileDialog) and messages (QMessageBox).
- How to use embedded image files/resources as icons.

And more!
