@Gabber said in How to hide all widgets from a QVBoxLayout with spacer?: The "morph into" function in the QT creator does exactly what you write, doesn't it? There I can also convert the layout into a QWidget. I have hard time to figure out how to convert (morph?) a layout to a widget.

@mrjj said in Uniquely identify a machine: then it should be rare that someone change the mac ID yeah that's what I counting on.

As stated in the documentation you gave us, you have to set _WIN32_WINNT to a value greater or equal to Windows 8 and you must not redefine a value defined by the windows headers itself. When you use qmake you can add a compiler definitions with the DEFINE command: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5.12/qmake-variable-reference.html#defines DEFINES += _WIN32_WINNT=0x0602 But since we're here in Qt-forum - why not use QHostAdress?

@mrjj Thanks for your code example, it works perfectly! I have thought about the whole thing again and will stay for now with a simple select (without shift). Therefore I will mark the thread as solved.

Hi Many use an online code revision system as not to lose code if the system fails. Like https://bitbucket.org/product You don't have to use an online service but if you use it only locally, the safety is lacking. Alternatively, you can use a sync service like pcloud and let it store copies of the projects into the cloud.

Hello, I want to know how to add a suffix to a file after saving it on filedialog in qml and I came here in hope to find my answer. But It makes me sad when I can't find it. I tried filePath = filePath + '.txt' but isn't working for me. Can anyone share a website with me in which I can find the solution? I will be very much thankful to you.

These slots are named to take advantage of automatic connections between signals and slots implemented by QMetaObject::connectSlotsByName() and most often used in Qt Designer UIs. This mechanism is not inherently evil. However, if you rename the object in the Designer UI and not the matching slot then the automatic connection will not happen (silently). Conversely (and less likely), if you name a function on_blah_triggered() for a reason unrelated to the UI, but where blah exists and has a triggered() signal, you may find an unexpected connection is made (silently). You will find these at run time. This fragility is the reason for the warning. The alternative is to avoid the automatic connection naming and explicitly code connections in your constructor. If you use new-style connect() then this will fail at compile time in the first case, and the connection will not be present in the second.

If you mean official documentation for QtMvvm then no. This is a third-party library, so The Qt Company is not the one to document it. I have no idea what Qt_MVC might be referring to. I suspect the answer is the same.

Text { anchors.left: parent.left anchors.verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter anchors.leftMargin: 8 font.pixelSize: 12 text: modelData.name color: "#b9b5b5" Component.onCompleted: { console.log(JSON.stringify(modelData.name)) } } so modelData.name does the trick....maybe there are better ways, if someone hve any suggestion, please share

@testmonkey o2 was updated yesterday with qt6 goodness, included that into the .pro file, changed about 6 lines of code and managed to spit out sha256 signatures. legacy lines of codebase using older o2 had to be changed to from O1RequestParameter to O0RequestParameter. created a patch for the differences to o2 -- https://github.com/pipacs/o2/issues/156 still don't know how to do it natively through qnetworkauth route....

@SPlatten said in Help with timer and JavaScript slot.: right now before trying your suggestion the output is: setupForm() !!!! S000000000029E000000003405T09:32:06.594W:QObject::startTimer: Timers cannot be started from another thread Same issue, you are trying to start a QTimer from the wrong thread. QTimer::singleShot(0, myTimer, [myTimer]() { myTimer->start(); } ); will solve this.

@harsha123 I do not think there is a C++ library for Qt which can read a .xlsx and understand enough about it to actually render/print/export to PDF. I think at best it can parse it. There may be a library for Python which can accomplish this, but not C++. I stand to be corrected by someone more knowledgeable, I may be mistaken. Maybe I am wrong. What about https://qtexcel.github.io/QXlsx/ ? I see it has Qt-Table-Printer is under BSD 3-Clause license. https://github.com/T0ny0/Qt-Table-Printer at https://github.com/T0ny0/Qt-Table-Printer. Maybe that can leveraged to produce PDF file (which is why I talked abour "printing" earlier, do print-to-PDF-file).

@JKSH said in Is it possible to fill color in bounding rectangle?: @Swati777999 said in Is it possible to fill color in bounding rectangle?: I wanted to just fill colors to a textbox, so tried with this one. ... Is it possible to fill color to a textbox ? or just do as the above and then put a QLabel inside it? ... It's not a Qt class, in general how text-box is represented in [Untitled] By default Paint Application of Windows OS. I'm afraid I don't fully understand your descriptions or what you're trying to do. Can you please describe what you have already implemented, and what changes you want to make? If you just want to fill the background colour of a QLabel, you can apply a stylesheet to the label: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/stylesheet-examples.html#customizing-qframe For example, label->setStyleSheet("background-color: red;"); Thanks. This works for me.

@ChrisW67 Before I read the last reply , I did this . Works as required Form_SYSTEM *FS = new Form_SYSTEM(); mdiArea->addSubWindow(FS)-> setWindowState(Qt::WindowMinimized) ; //modify current / last addition mdiArea->currentSubWindow()->showNormal(); mdiArea->currentSubWindow()->resize(400,400); SOLVED

@Korsarq said in Statically linked executable requires dll: KERNEL32.DLL and MSVCRT.DLL Any Windows application will depend on the first (directly or indirectly): it is the Windows base API (along with USER32.dll, GDI32.dll etc.). Almost any Windows application with components built in C/C++ will depend on the Microsoft Visual C Run Time (MSVCRT): it is the C standard library. MinGW also uses this library. Both are part of Windows, not part of your application. I thought that those libraries are build statically, but it appears that's not the case. In the default Qt build those libraries (e.g. libQt6Widgets.a) are stubs that provide the linker with information to connect your application to the corresponding dynamic library at run time. If you build Qt statically (which you are not doing) then these libraries will contain the actual Qt executable code. Your linked application binary will include this code directly and grow substantially in size. These static Qt libraries will still have dependencies on dynamically loaded (shared) Windows components like KERNEL32.dll.

Hi, Looks like there might be an error in these variable declaration. Did you already check the bug report system for something like it ?

I got it. Just as a dumb test I copied the plugin from plugandpaint sample into plugindir of my app and that got loaded. This showed me that the loader failures had nothing to do with my programming, but that there was a problem with the plugin files. So I investigated further in that direction and found out that no link errors are output at building the plugins. So if you think everything is error free, that is far from true for the plugins. Was then still a tough piece of work, but in the meantime all plugins get loaded.
