    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.
