LInk Qt framework to an MFC project
-
Hi
Ok seems you are not linking to the Qt dlls.
Also how will you handle the event loop?
Do you create a QApplication object also?Mixed MFC and Qt might be really hard.
@mrjj No I'm not creating a QApplication object. Do I have to create it in order to make a test QMesssageBox?
I red that creating a secondary thread solves the issue, and also I checked that I will have to re-write the MFC signals so that Qt UI would be able to catch them. But in fact I do link to them, In visual studio I set the Reference path to the Qt\bin folder, also I have installed Qt visual studio plugin -
Hi
Yep you need QApp
The visual studio plugin is not ment for MFC projects. not sure it
work with that. never tried.The error says its not linked. So check compiler output etc and see if you can spot something.

@mrjj that's a run-time error. And I have a compile time, I mean that even If i'll create a Qapplication object nothing changes. Why it does not see the dll? Have you tried to connect Qt to MFC? Thanks in advance.
That is what happens if i make a msg box before the application.
You will get the same if it linked and ran.Sadly i never tried to mix MFC and Qt as what would be the point?
Both are for GUI so one is enough.But i understand you do it for learning. I dont have visual studio IDE so cannot tell you
if you have added it to the right place.

what is wrong. -

UPD: got it working.
But receiving this error:
This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "windows"

But its 2010 VS so dialog might have changed. -

That is because it cant find the dlls.
very normal case when people click the .exe outside of creator. -
