General and Desktop

Just copied the .dll libraries (all of them) from OpenCv to Release directory. Now i should find exactly what libraries are needed for the application to work.

I'll change this to "solved" even though I believe the solution I used is a work around. What I would like to know is why my original approach did not work. With that kind of knowledge I'm thinking I could figure my way out of future problems. This way (using a work around) it feels a lot like guessing until something works.

Simply create the connection at the moment you instantiate the object.

Also, widgets have properties, and one of these properties is marked the user property. That property will contain the value you need. You can find out and query the property you need using QMetaObject.

There is also a ready-made "proxy model":http://qt-project.org/wiki/QSortFilterProxyModel_subclass_for_text_alignment_-and_readonly_columns available on the wiki for this.

Mixing: extern "C" and __stdcall is wrong as __stdcall is the standard ABI conventions for C++. There is a __cdecl which would be correct for C but will be implied by the: extern "C" part and so it no needed.

The QSetting constructor you are calling is using the file name as is, which means it looks for it in the current directory, which is more likely the directory you launched the application from, not necessarily the one where the application executable is. To get the latter you can use: @QSettings mySettings(QApplication::applicationDirPath() + "/myfile.ini", QSettings::IniFormat);@ You would have to prefix explicitly the file path with QDesktopServices::storageLocation(QDesktopServices::DataLocation) (+ "/") instead to look for the file in ~/.config/organizationName/applicationName

I guess the difference is that if you first connect and then moveToThread the connectionType choosen by Qt (if you don't set it explicitly) will be DirectConnection which is incorrect after the moveToThread. This might mess up the connections. If you first moveToThread and then connect the correct QueuedConnection type is choosen by default.

Yes, they are both Qt 4.8.1 for Desktop - MSVC2010 (QtSDK) and they both use the Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler 10.0 (x86). I suppose I'll try that Dependency walker

bq. Please take a look at ReplWidget [github.com] Thank you so much! This is perfect for my purposes!

No, I have not. However, I have abandoned this so the thread is obsolete. It can be closed.

I don't know if you would find it helpful or not, but there is an old Qt Quarterly article on events that has a pretty good in-depth discussion in general terms "here.":http://doc.qt.digia.com/qq/qq11-events.html

After some tests, make install does work in windows, but the -prefix option does not. So it installs in the source directory... However, I found the solution on another forum. configure.exe may be called from an empty directory using the full path to configure.exe. Then make, make install and make clean do a clean installation inside this previously empty directory. Works perfectly

[quote author="Lukas Geyer" date="1349789428"]Does an apple become a banana just because you paint it yellow? Most probably not. The same way you can't cast a QString to a QAction. If you want to create a QAction with a given text you will have to construct a QAction object and set the text, by either passing it to the constructor or using setText().[/quote] Awesome Example.. :) Great..
