My screenreader can't tell if an underline has a color or is squigly. It can say _ (underline). Is that the mark you're talking about?
In your latest screenshot, there was a red squiggly line underneath "#include". Did your screenreader announce that? If not, don't worry -- the error is repeated under the Error List pane: "cannot open source Hello World! file "stdafx.h". Did your screenreader announce that?
@Annabelle said in Qt Programming Language:
Here's a screenshot of yet another error.
Change
<stdafx.h>to"stdafx.h". In other words, change the angular brackets to double quotation marks.wrote on 4 Nov 2018, 01:43 last edited by@JKSH said in Qt Programming Language:

This looks fault-free, and seems to have run without error! I don't know where the "Hello world" output went though? On thatOutputtab you have theShow output fromcombobox set toDebug, you may have to set that to something else to see/hear the program output? -

Ignore my comment about theDebugtab, I think. The question is: when you run the program, it should outputHello world!, where does that output go to? Does it maybe open a console window, send it there, and then close it as soon as your program finishes, all of which would be near "instantaneous"? It may depend on your project type, I don't know. You may need hep on this from VS C++ people here.... -

When you run your program (Ctrl + F5), a window should pop up and that window should contain the words "Hello world!". The window will close if you press any key while the window has focus.
Did JAWS read the contents of that window to you?

It's just Visual Studio letting you know good news! It's telling you that you just ran your program executable (
Hello World!.exe), it ran to completion and exited, and it returned an "exit code" of 0 (which is good, is what your code does, but which you don't care about).My question still remains, however. When that program ran it sent the string
Hello World!to its "output" (that's the purpose of this program). Where did that "output" go?

I didn't hear about the output. When I pressed the shortcut to run the program, it first asked me if I wanted to build it, and I said "Yes". Then it launched the Command Prompt. What's up with that, I wonder?

At this point, wait for somebody helpful to try just what you have in Visual Studio and explain what it is they see about where the output goes. -

This user (KrolPolski) found that arrow keys don't work in the Command Prompt for JAWS, but another user (Graham87) described a workaround: https://www.reddit.com/r/Blind/comments/8zf1f1/using_a_command_prompt_with_jaws/
See if you can get JAWS to read something on the Command Prompt before it closes. The Command Prompt should contain the text, "Hello world!"
If you still have no luck with JAWS, does the Microsoft Narrator work?

Well, that's it for "Hello World": you've done it! (And very well done!) You have written a program, compiled it, and run it successfully with the expected output.
What you do now is up to you :) If you mean you want to turn to Qt you'd have to install it, I don't know what you intended to do.

You can integrate Visual Studio with Qt to develop programs, or you can use Qt Creator as your "IDE" (Integrated Development Environment). I don't know whether previous discussions have indicated a preference for which one for you. -

JAWS does work with Visual Studio: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/d9b295e6-fa48-4c44-8129-37ccf55689f9/is-visual-studio-compatable-with-any-screen-readers-for-example-jaws-nvda-or-zoomtext-i-am
@Annabelle said in Qt Programming Language:
Is there a web site I can go to in order to learn more about these concepts you explain? I've tried http://www.learncpp.com, but what's there doesn't seem to focus on some of the code you explained.
All the concepts I mentioned are discussed in http://www.learncpp.com.
- Strings are in chapters 4, 6, and 17.
- Variables are in chapters 1, 2, and 4.
- Literals are in chapter 2.
- Enumerations are in chapter 4.
- Assignment and comparison operators are in chapter 1 (specifically, section 1.5).
ifstatements are in chapters 2 and 5.
At the very least, work through all of chapter 0, all of chapter 1, section 2.1, and section 2.6. After that, search for the concepts I mentioned before.
This will take time (a few weeks at least), but it will be worth it.
All the best with learning C++!

Do you remember the plan? Your task is to learn the basics of C++ first, without Qt.
First, try to modify the code to make the Command Prompt say something other than "Hello world!". For example, try to make it say, "Hi Annabelle!"
After that, continue working through the learncpp.com tutorial.
@Annabelle said in Qt Programming Language:

C++ is a programming language, while Qt is a library for C++. You use the C++ language to write programs with the Qt library.
This is why learning the basics of C++ is an important step to achieve your goal of making Qt programs.

Would I put "Hi Annabelle!", in the spot of code where it would usually say "Hello World"? I'm confused!
