what can i do

You can show us your code.
Also, delete the build directory, run qmake and then build again.

qazaq408

#ifndef DIALOG_H
#define DIALOG_H

#include <QDialog>

class Dialog : public QDialog
{
    Q_OBJECT

public:
    Dialog(QWidget *parent = 0);
    ~Dialog();
};

#endif // DIALOG_H

.cpp file

#include "Dialog.h"

Dialog::Dialog(QWidget *parent)
    : QDialog(parent)
{
}

Dialog::~Dialog()
{

}

main file

#include "Dialog.h"
#include <QApplication>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    Dialog w;
    w.show();

    return a.exec();
}

When I compile by Qt Creator ,it tell me undefined reference to `vtable for<class name>..

Also, delete the build directory, run qmake and then build again.

I had tried to do this... even I copy three file to another independent dir , but it still show undefined reference to `vtable for<class name>..

@jsulm
If I delete Q_OBJECT marco,the programme can run,but QtCreator has a question

"D:\vbox\untitled\Dialog.h:1: Note: No relevant classes found. No output generated."

I can sure the encode is UTF-8

jsulm

@qazaq408 "New File Or Project->choose Qt Widgets Application" - I guess you mean "C++ class" not "Qt Widgets Application" or how did you add the dialog to your application?

qazaq408

@jsulm
I can sure I choose Qt Widgets Application...and I also add dialog to my app
if not ,it can't work (after delete Q_OBJECT marco).

jsulm

@qazaq408 But how did you add the Dialog class? Manually?

I'm only one who use Qt in my company.....
I cast two days on this queston and can't do anything..
My Boss Is angry ....
Who can help me.....

Delete the build folder and re-run qmake. your code is fine

qazaq408

I get more infomation by google...
I try puoduce Moc file by moc tools
moc doc.h -o Moc_doc.cpp
but system always tell me "F:\doc\Doc\Doc.h:1: Note: No relevant classes found. No output generated."
I change the encode of .h file by notepad++,whatever I use utf-8 or ansi,It doesn't work.

@qazaq408 Does MocTest.* contain your Dialog class?

qazaq408

@jsulm
no,My class name "MocTest; and "MocTest" class inheriten QDialog
and I write class declaration inthe .h file,wirte class definition in .cpp file

.h file

#ifndef DIALOG_H
#define DIALOG_H

#include <QDialog>

class Dialog : public QDialog
{
    Q_OBJECT

public:
    Dialog(QWidget *parent = 0);
    ~Dialog();
};

#endif // DIALOG_H

.cpp file

#include "Dialog.h"

Dialog::Dialog(QWidget *parent)
    : QDialog(parent)
{
}

Dialog::~Dialog()
{

}

somthing strange is going on, did you create the class files yourself? because the declaration guards are QtNorming conform and indicate file names of dialog.h and dialog.cpp

#ifndef DIALOG_H
#define DIALOG_H

you didn't just write

SOURCES += MocTest.cpp

because you named your class MocTest, and the file itself is named dialog.cpp, right?

Just made a basic test program and works fine, as expected:

@J.Hilk
I make a mistake when i reply...I'm in a hurry because my boss is kicking my ass....

my class name "MocTest",it's inheriten QDialog,and "MocTest" class is writed in MocTest.h and MocTest,cpp

@qazaq408

I have two suggestions for you:

Create a completely new project from QtCreators wizards and see if you can compile it. Then add a dialog (also with the wizard) and see if it still works. If not, than something may be wrong with your setup.
Upload your complete project somewhere so we can test it.

Regards

@J.Hilk
I guess that's is the point, MOC tools can't prduce moc*.cpp file
alt text
But I don't know why .
the almost answer in google is that the encode of file is wrong,qt need utf-8,but i change the encode of .h file by vs and notepad++, it still don't work...

Then please do clean all build artefacts, and then compile your project. Paste the compile log here for analysis.

PS: Also make sure that there are no Makefile, *.moc, *.o and other generated files in your source directory! This will lead to the strangest effects possible.
