@JacobNovitsky Qt Creator is an IDE, for editing and building from source code. There is no "add and manage threads in Qt Creator". See https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/thread-basics.html and https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/examples-threadandconcurrent.html for using threading in a Qt application. And please make sure you really need threading in your Qt application, which already works asynchronously for many things. A large proportion of beginners who think they need threads in a Qt program turn out not to need them and would be better off without.....

@sierdzio This is $PATH I set [image: a3b4c34e-8d02-4209-b93e-5153ea8dfeb0.png] I ran CMake command like this: cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/home/Qt/6.5.2/gcc_64 -DQT_DIR=/home/Qt/6.5.2/gcc_64/lib/cmake/Qt6 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..

it turns out this bug also can be reproduced in two dispalys with same DPI settings.

@fstech_12 It looks like another instance of the installer is running. You can check in Task Manager and kill it there. If you still get this error then delete the file mentioned in the error message manually and try again. And finally (typical Windows workaround): reboot your machine :-)

@booter Do you have a question? If you get this error - did you install the packages mentioned in this thread?

@dondioci You said you want to customize the stylesheet, how would you change that by stylesheet even if you can rebuild the ifw? The configure command is part of Qt source code. And this step in the documentation is only needed if you want to build Qt by yourself. If you already have Qt then simply follow "Setting up Qt Installer Framework" chapter in the documentation. Well, usually we need to build Qt before building ifw because ifw needs to be built with static Qt.

Hi, Are you looking for the Video Widget Example?

@JonB Hi, thanks for all the help, I finally figured it out, it did have to do with the env variable for structureanalysis, even if I ran it inside cmd there was trouble. I had to send the full path for where structureanalysis is located in my shell script. it worked

Hi, What happens with your model ?

@Roobarb said in Use public slots or private slots?: @dheerendra But if you make the slot private, how can something outside of the slot class call connect() using it? When I try to use a private slot in my connect() call, the compiler says: error: 'onMessage' is a private member of 'my_slot' Hi, That's where you have to properly analyze whether having that slot public is a valid use case or not. Just making it public because it allows connection is not a good reason. Check your architecture first.

@SGaist Thank you ... building Qt out-of-sources was successful. I found this link which was very helpful in explaining how to do it: https://gist.github.com/black13/3a55ed9afb5ba9ab5119ebd271a2aaa5 I saw another reference to this in the Qt documentation, but can't remember exactly where I saw it (EDIT: this was at the very bottom of the previous web page: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/linux-building.html). Now I was able to easily install both a debug and a release version of Qt with this method by setting different -prefix arguments.

@hskoglund I want to using Win32 API for place the tray icon in the notification area

Hi, your BLOCK is "040904b0" means English Unicode but maybe first try Windows 1252: "Copyright 2023 \xA9 More text" and then perhaps UTF-8: "Copyright 2023 \xC2\xA9 More text"
