    if you need to add plugin into your project.....first add library to your .pro file.

      so, one day has passed and I can't compile with msvc... Qt can't find the compiler but I have installed it...

      @-AVM Which library ? The .pro file of the example should be complete, no ?

        Hi
        Just to be sure.
        Did u also run the maintenance tool and selected
        the correct Qt for Visual Studio XXX version ?

        In the picture i have 5.7 installed for the mingw compiler.
        And nothing for VS.

            You don't need to blindly test every MSVC version. Open QtCreator and click "About -> Qt Creator". The version used is displayed there e.g. Qt Creator 4.0.2 Based on Qt 5.7.0 (MSVC 2013, 32 bit). That's the only version that will work and the plugin needs to be compiled in release mode.

            As for obtaining MSVC - Installing Qt package for MSVC does not install MSVC itself! You need to download it from Microsoft's site.

              @Chris-Kawa Yes, I have this version. Yesterday I downloaded msvc 2013 and 2015 from Microsoft's site but it said that a version is already installed

                I finally found a solution : I have uninstalled and reinstalled QtCreator.
                So now I can compile the example in msvc2015 in 32 and 64bit, I did it in release and place the generated DLL into
                C:\Qt\Tools\QtCreator\bin\plugins\designer
                but I still have the same error : worldtimeclockplugin.dll : %1 is not a valid Win32 application

                  You need the same version of MSVC that was used to build Qt Creator.

                  In Qt Creator, click "Help" -> "About Qt Creator...". If it says "MSVC 2013", then you must use MSVC 2013. MSVC 2015 is not compatible.
