Qt Creator and other tools

Thanks very much! The other piece I was missing is that CMake uses if/else statements. So, the result is:

if(APPLE) target_compile_options(mytarget PRIVATE -DMAC_ONLY_SYMBOL) else() target_compile_options(mytarget PRIVATE -DOTHER_SYMBOL) endif()

In fact you need multiple things:

Grouping and / or modules in the documentation of your code An "idk.qdoc" file for the main content of the documentation to act as a starting page

I would recommend checking one of the smaller Qt modules. They should have a pretty simple set of documentation files that you can get inspiration from.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

I haven't used it but its documentation is here.

It's an extension.

@jsulm the kits are installed correctly and I can use them from QtCreator.
With the QtInstaller I have cmake 3.29.3.

Sorry, I'm not sure to understand your last question.

@dencla You need to create and add a ressource file to your project. In the ressource file you can add all the icons. After that, they will be available in the designer as well. for more information , check this https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/resources.html

The issue is tracked at https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-32319

I finally found some more logs from Qtcreator. Just the terminal ones XD

@Mahdir2111 That doesn't address any of the questions. Up to you.

What has QtCreator to do with the Qt version you want to use for compiling? It's just an IDE...

@dencla Only if you follow Creating Custom Widgets for Qt Widgets Designer.

The code above was just my attempt to create a minimal reproducible example because I had this problem with all of my 3 programs which are all pretty large and I couldn't come up with a small program that had the same issue other than this silly example.

The dock widget, however, refers to one of my actual programs. That is, the problem with all 3 was the QML debugger being enabled and on top of that one of the programs needed the dock widget closed. I just thought I'd write it down in case someone has a similar problem and finds this post.

After trying to change the layout configuration for those shortcuts without result, I found a workaround by using the up and down keys from the numeric pad of the keyboard, and it works, so I will use that on this machine.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

You might want to make a feature request for that suggestion.

I have similar problems:
autocompletion works with user defined classes, but not with Qt classes.
Following some google search I have tried playing around with disabling and enabling the clang tools plugin. This did not change the autocompletion's behaviour.

I remember that autocompletion worked very smoothly with Qt Creator 4, which I have been using for a very long time .
I don't know exactly, when it stopped working.

After much back and forth, I finally figured out how to debug QML code using the current QT Visual Studio tools with CMake + Qt + Visual Studio IDE. First, if you have a project built with CMake + Qt, open the root directory of your project using the "Open Folder" method in Visual Studio 2022, and select the CMakeLists.txt file. At this point, Visual Studio 2022 IDE will create CMakePresets.json and CMakeUserPresets.json for you based on the QT Visual Studio tools.

At this stage, you can only modify CMakeUserPresets.json to configure the dependencies required for building your project, ensuring that your project can be successfully built. Once the build is successful, you can directly press F5 to start debugging.

I hope the method I discovered can help those who have this need.....
