Qt Creator and other tools

Correct. The button group was the next possibility that occurred to me. Perhaps I could have checked to see if it was a Widget first. I probably should have worded the question differently since I wasn't specifically interested in the class itself, simply the set of buttons that I wanted to group together.

Solution: i forgot to add the custom build step where i assemble all the components in the destination directory! gosh what a doofus move! okay but thanks so much for your help, your ideas sparked me to look in more places!! :D the hiccup for me was that the IDE didn't OBVIOUSLY report that launching failed due to a missing .dll, which would have been helpful.

Thanks, I think that in summary I will try to restructure my code to capture the initial state through slots in the MainWindow (as described previously), and I will also implement loading of settings via QSettings (at which point the Designer-set values won't mater much anyway). I think I've probably got enough to come up with a solution now, so I'll mark this question as answered. Thanks to all for your input!

@sum123987 Maybe you should also install the latest Qt version :-) You're using Qt 4, right?

I tried to use FileSystem view but it doesn't have tree structure like project view has. Every time I want to expand a folder I have to open that folder. Besides that using FileSystem view and switching between files is annoying.

I have now. It was not out when I did the original test. Anyway with Creator 4.3.1 it seems to be OK independently from the compiler or Qt version. I guess this solves it. Thanks for pointing out.

@Learner I found this now I but it seems to mess up with the color scheme. Now I am researching how to fix it.

I haven't used that platform yet but you should find more information about it here. Hope it helps

@Andy-Page You could ask on QtCreator mailing list where QtCreator developers are: http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/qt-creator

Qt 5.9 downloaded using qt-unified-windows-x86 (online installer). I installed packages for UWP 32bit, UWP64 bit and 32bit MinGW Btw I now removed to whole building directory (manually) and rebuilded the project and it does not complain. I'm puzzled here, will mark it solved after a few more tests.

Actually scrap that, it's much easier, don't know what I was thinking... const QString dateText = QLocale(QLocale::English).toString(ui->deMonth->date(),QStringLiteral("MM/yyyy"));

@SGaist Thanks. I will try it.

Yes, it's happening, Code: int* p = mask.size.p; is shown as int and value is p[0] [image: be44f35c-c006-42dd-8302-e87c830039f0.png]

Hi, AFAIK, you'll have to write your own plugin to provide that.

@m.sue .pro file is extremely simple: #------------------------------------------------- # # Project created by QtCreator 2017-06-21T14:10:32 # #------------------------------------------------- QT-= core gui TARGET = gren-freetype TEMPLATE = lib CONFIG += staticlib DEFINES += FT2_BUILD_LIBRARY INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/include SOURCES += \ font_loader.cpp \ src/base/basepic.c \ src/base/ftadvanc.c \ src/base/ftapi.c \ src/base/ftbase.c \ src/base/ftbbox.c \ src/base/ftbdf.c \ # ... # More .c files HEADERS += \ font_loader.hpp \

Oh you have 1000 rows. Yes then report generator is surely the way to go as it would have been a huge image to show all them at once :)

Yep I know, but it's not an option on my project. By the way, i got the exact same behavior using the VS2013 compiler. The scene parser plugin that fails to load (the dll files) are well present in the folder.
