Hi,

You can't copy QObject derived class so addToList should have a pointer to staff as parameter

[Dn588]

Thanks a lot SGaist

I now get another error I don't understand...

error: expected unqualified-id before if'

At the code:

@
QFile file("staff.txt");

if (!file.open(QIODevice:: WriteOnly | QIODevice:: Text))
return;
@

[SGaist]

Is this code located in a function ?

[Dn588]

No it's not could that be it?

[SGaist]

You can't write code freely anywhere in a file in C/C++ It needs to be inside a function/method.

Thanks I moved it into a function. now i'm getting an error invalid conversion from int to char* in the following function @QString staff::toString() {
return QString("Name: %1 \n Birth Date: %2 \n Staff Type: %3 \n \n").arg(s_name).arg(s_birthDate.toString('yyyyMMdd').arg(getTypeString()));
}@

there's no int in this function though? Could it be the enum s_type? I created a function getTypeString @
staff::getTypeString() {
return property("Type").toString();
}
that's supposed to return a QString...

[SGaist]

The only error I see currently is that you have a misplace arg. You attached your third parameter to the s_birthDate.toString call

[Dn588]

So should the parameters start at %0?

[SGaist]

Nop, that part is fine

[Dn588]

which third parameter did I attach to s_birthDate.toString()?

[SGaist]

@
QString("Name: %1 \n Birth Date: %2 \n Staff Type: %3 \n \n")
.arg(s_name) << correct
.arg(s_birthDate.toString('yyyyMMdd').arg(getTypeString() << arg of toString rather than arg for QString()
