Load Qt projects

If your Qt projects have .pro files that you use to build them with qmake, load them to Visual Studio and convert them into solutions. Then, use Visual Studio to build them.

To open Qt projects (.pro) in Visual Studio, go to Extensions > Qt VS Tools > Open Qt Project File (.pro).
