    Hi,

    From what you wrote it seems you are doing everything from the command line. So what auto completion are you talking about ?

    Note that if you are using Qt Creator, it already provides lots of projects template to start from so you can already benefit from code completion etc.

    No. I meat in the Edit view of the Qt Creator IDE used for coding.

    Yes, I'm waiting for the place where the book tells me to use them and also directs me.

      hi
      Its very unclear what you are asking. I read it as
      "how can i create a project faster than by hand editing"

      To create a new gui project, one simple choose
      File -> New Project or file
      then Application as type and GUI application in the right side
      alt text

      You get the main.cpp and a mainwindow. ready to run.

        The feature is already there from the start, just use the tools you have at your disposal without waiting for the book to tell you to do it.

        Do you realise you are basically complaining about an "old" book teaching you how to use Qt from scratch while nobody forbids you to directly use Qt Creator with all its features to code ?

          Your Qt Creator is really fascinating! May I ask what version you use or what OS you're using?

            Yes, but there are two options that I should cull one!
            The first is using the new method and that way I can't rely on the book at this point and will be bending to Docs.

            The other option is using the old method but having the book as my supporter! I cull this.

            Yeah, I know. I wish there were a new edition of that book. ;)

              Hi
              That is just the newest Creator. 4.41

              If you can run the
              c:\MaintenanceTool.exe and select "Update components "
              Should give the newest version.

              //your code here

              As far as i recall the book does not really explain much about Creator.
              You can get an overview from here
              https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/index.html
              Most of it is also beginner friendly and explains well

                  Hmm are you using Qt5.5 ?
                  Only saw that error there.

                        I entered my account info and tested it again then it worked and it's now updated.
                        Thanks.
