I am writing a project in MSVS 2015, a colleague has now finished his part, but he wrote in Qt 5.6.0. I myself have never worked with Qt, but from general reviews I realized that you can somehow make friends with Qt with VS. Can you please describe in detail how I can connect Qt to my studio? I suppose that in the end it will be possible to insert .cpp and .hpp files with source code using Qt-chips into my project and collect them in a standard studio manner.

    In general, I do not see any reason to cling to the studio, because the creator is better integrated with the framework, the same philosophy, and I haven’t seen anything like that in the studio that’s not in the creator. - Vyacheslav Savchenko

    Do not listen, QtCreator still grows and grows to the studio, and in the studio it is quite comfortable to work with Qt after installing the appropriate plug-ins, even QtDesigner and help are integrated. - Vladimir Gamalyan

There is such a thing as a Visual Studio Add-in https://www.qt.io/download-open-source/#section-2 . This is a plugin for Visual Studio that will simplify development using the qt framework in Visual Studio. It has the ability to import pro-file - the Qt Creator project file in which your colleague most likely worked. Also this plugin adds different templates that will simplify working with Qt. But, as advised above, in my opinion, it is better to try to move to Qt Creator. It is cross-platform, out of the box provides the ability to use jom instead of nmake, which will give an increase in compilation speed and a bunch of other advantages.
