    @Money Hi, today i faced exactly the same problem. Thus found your question through a google search. The problem seems to go away if I turn a setting on. Go to Edit->Preferences->Qt Quick->QML/JS Editing tab. Then tick 'Use custom command instead of built-in formatter'. In my case this option is now marked checked along with 'Enable auto format on file save'. Now I don't have this weird issue anymore.

    The issue is that QT Creator does not capitalize the first letter of the variable when it adds a word to the start when using the refractor menu option. The MOC file has it automatically renamed. As the MOC file is constantly regenerated I will need to correct the function definitions and declarations.

    Hi, From a quick look at the forks of the project, this one seems to have something for Qt 6.

    I solved this by loading the icons into the actions using an absolute path. I know it isn't pretty, portable, or standard, but it works for me on my computer. The only place this app will ever be used. QString openIcon = "absolute path to my icon image"; ui->actionOpen->setIcon(QIcon(openIcon));

    Steps to reproduce: Open Visual Studio 2019. Navigate to Extensions → Qt VS Tools → Qt Versions. Click Add and select qmake.exe from the msvc2017_64 folder of my Qt installation. Click OK (no error messages appear). Reopen Qt Versions—the list is empty again. Troubleshooting attempted: Restarted Visual Studio after adding the Qt version. Ran Visual Studio as Administrator. Checked the registry entries under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\16.0\QtProject but found no Qt versions listed. Tried reinstalling the Qt VS Tools extension. Verified that my Qt installation is working by running qmake --version in the command prompt.

    Ok. Finally solved everything. Checked compiler output and wx-config shell execution doesn't work in case of QMAKE_CXXFLAGS like it works in LIBS. So I changed this: QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += `/home/dibo/programowanie/wxWidgetsInstallGTK/bin/wx-config --cflags` To what this command exactly return: QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -I/home/dibo/programowanie/wxWidgetsInstallGTK/lib/wx/include/gtk3-unicode-static-3.2 -I/home/dibo/programowanie/wxWidgetsInstallGTK/include/wx-3.2 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D__WXGTK__ -pthread And now everything works perfectly, even code completion. Important -D__WXGTK__ was missed because gcc was called without what wx-config return

    To answer my own question, I was setting OE_QMAKE_CFLAGS and OE_QMAKE_CXXFLAGS with those values. This appears to be what it was pulling from. By removing these and instead moving it to the Platform codegen flags and Platform linker flags for the compiler settings, I seem to achieve the result that I want. It's a little more duplication than I would want, but it is functional.

    @Adka Do you mean something like this? [image: tBeJYwA.gif] In Qt designer, you can set the button property to checkable, then you can right click the button and create or add it to a QButtonGroup, then select the group, and in the properties you can check the "exclusive" property for only one to be active at a time.

    Thanks for the advice. It turned out that I needed to manually add the CMake path to qmake.exe After that I was able to select the CMake Tool: setting on the Kits tab. [image: 765cd0cc-d48b-4943-88a8-f8d93a327dac.png] [image: a4c9b1be-e97c-403e-abe7-c81b534e9517.png]

    Best use Qt Creator instead, it offers the same functionality while being a full-blown IDE at the same time. Alternatively, you can try downgrading to some older Qt version, or use older Qt Designer with new Qt, it should still work.
