How to draw QR codes using Qt library

This simple class allows showing QR codes within applications using Qt 5.x series and supports Qt Designer. It requires libqrencode which is available for both Windows and Linux.

To set the contents for QR code, call showQRCode(). This simple version only supports encoding printable text.
