4584d300a40bfd84517072f7a6eee114fb7cab08 GUI: remove now unneeded 'm_balances' field from overviewpage (furszy) 050e8b139145d6991e740b0e5f2b3364663dd348 GUI: 'getAvailableBalance', use cached balance if the user did not select UTXO manually (furszy) 96e3264a82c51b456703f500bd98e8cb98115697 GUI: use cached balance in overviewpage and sendcoinsdialog (furszy) 321335bf0292034d79afa6c44f7f072942b6cc3c GUI: add getter for WalletModel::m_cached_balances field (furszy) e62958dc81d215a1c56318d0914dfd9a33d45973 GUI: sendCoinsDialog, remove duplicate wallet().getBalances() call (furszy) Pull request description: As per the title says, we are recalculating the entire wallet balance on different situations calling to `wallet().getBalances()`, when should instead make use of the wallet model cached balance. This has the benefits of (1) not spending resources calculating a balance that we already have cached, and (2) avoid blocking the main thread for a long time, in case of big wallets, walking through the entire wallet's tx map more than what it's really needed. Changes: 1) Fix: `SendCoinsDialog` was calling `wallet().getBalances()` twice during `setModel`. 2) Use the cached balance if the user did not select any UTXO manually inside the wallet model `getAvailableBalance` call. ----------------------- As an extra note, this work born in [#25005](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/25005) but grew out of scope of it.

This directory contains the source code for the Bitcoin Core graphical user interface (GUI). It uses the Qt cross-platform framework.
The current precise version for Qt 5 is specified in qt.mk.
Compile and run
See build instructions: Unix, macOS, Windows, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD
When following your systems build instructions, make sure to install the Qt dependencies.
To run:
./src/qt/bitcoin-qt
Files and Directories
forms/
- A directory that contains Designer UI files. These files specify the characteristics of form elements in XML. Qt UI files can be edited with Qt Creator or using any text editor.
locale/
- Contains translations. They are periodically updated and an effort is made to support as many languages as possible. The process of contributing translations is described in doc/translation_process.md.
res/
- Contains graphical resources used to enhance the UI experience.
test/
- Functional tests used to ensure proper functionality of the GUI. Significant changes to the GUI code normally require new or updated tests.
bitcoingui.(h/cpp)
- Represents the main window of the Bitcoin UI.
*model.(h/cpp)
- The model. When it has a corresponding controller, it generally inherits from QAbstractTableModel. Models that are used by controllers as helpers inherit from other Qt classes like QValidator.
- ClientModel is used by the main application
bitcoinguiand several models likepeertablemodel.
*page.(h/cpp)
- A controller.
:NAMEpage.cppgenerally includes:NAMEmodel.handforms/:NAME.page.uiwith a similar:NAME.
*dialog.(h/cpp)
- Various dialogs, e.g. to open a URL. Inherit from QDialog.
paymentserver.(h/cpp)
- (Deprecated) Used to process BIP21 payment URI requests. Also handles URI-based application switching (e.g. when following a bitcoin:... link from a browser).
walletview.(h/cpp)
- Represents the view to a single wallet.
Other .h/cpp files
- UI elements like BitcoinAmountField, which inherit from QWidget.

Using Qt Creator as an IDE
Qt Creator is a powerful tool which packages a UI designer tool (Qt Designer) and a C++ IDE into one application. This is especially useful if you want to change the UI layout.
Download Qt Creator
On Unix and macOS, Qt Creator can be installed through your package manager. Alternatively, you can download a binary from the Qt Website.
Note: If installing from a binary grabbed from the Qt Website: During the installation process, uncheck everything except for Qt Creator.
macOS
brew install qt-creator
Ubuntu & Debian
sudo apt-get install qtcreator
