    Do a qobject_cast, or use QQuickItem pointer instead of QObject.

      Thanks. It works when I include <QtQuick> instead of <QtQuick/QQuickView>.

        You loose compile time by doing that. Since you are now certain the issue is with headers, try to include hard dependencies only:
        @
        #include <QQuickItem>
        #include <QQuickView>
        @

        (Z(:^

          That works! Thanks again.

          BTW, Does it matter if I use <QQuickItem> or <QtQuick/QQuickItem>, etc? (I suspect not.)

            No, not really. Just <QQuickItem> is considered more "portable": if the class is moved to another module in the future (Qt6...) it will still compile. But that is such a minor thing that I won't bother much. It was very useful in Qt4->Qt5 migration, though.

              Hi guys, thanks SteveG for this post.
              In my case with the same code I obtain those errors:

              • " warning: C4189: 'object' : local variable is initialized but not referenced"

              • "main.obj:-1: error: LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public: virtual __thiscall QQuickView::~QQuickView(void)" (_imp??1QQuickView@@UAE@XZ) referenced in function _main"

              • "main.obj:-1: error: LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public: class QQuickItem * __thiscall QQuickView::rootObject(void)const " (_imp?rootObject@QQuickView@@QBEPAVQQuickItem@@XZ) referenced in function _main"

              • "main.obj:-1: error: LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public: void __thiscall QQuickView::setSource(class QUrl const &)" (_imp?setSource@QQuickView@@QAEXABVQUrl@@@Z) referenced in function _main"

              • "main.obj:-1: error: LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public: __thiscall QQuickView::QQuickView(class QWindow *)" (_imp??0QQuickView@@QAE@PAVQWindow@@@Z) referenced in function _main"

              • "error: LNK1120: 4 unresolved externals"

              When I use the "qobject_cast" i've got this error: "error: C2065: 'object' : undeclared identifier".

              I don't get what's wrong.

              NB: I am working on Qt 5.1.1 .

                Woow! After a "Run qmake" and a "Build All" I don't have anymore errors or warnings, it compiles and works.

                  Maybe the ghosts and goblins are working overtime for Halloween. ;-)
