Can't create a QWidget from dynamic library: "Must construct a QApplication before a QWidget"
-
I built a QtMmlWidget as a dynamic library and included it in my project. But when I'm trying to create this widget, I'm getting "Must construct a QApplication before a QWidget" error.
How can I solve this issue? -
Hi,
Like the error message says, you need to create a QApplication object in order to use widgets. You also need to start the event loop by calling QApplication::exec().
This needs to be done in a separate thread, to avoid blocking your main thread. Start a new std::thread, and call the initialization function there.

Thanks, it helped me.
