Hi,

Do you have any static QWiget object ?

no

If possible can you share your project bat pastebin or somewhere else ?

@jronald I hope in the constructor definition you are passing the parameter to QApplication.

MyApp (int &argc, char **argv) : QApplication(argc, argv)
{
...
}

1. create a new Qt Widget Application
2. modify .pro to add INCLUDEPATH and LIBS for QtPropertyBrowser
3. edit MainWindow.cpp

#include "MainWindow.h"
#include "ui_MainWindow.h"
#include <QtTreePropertyBrowser>

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
    QMainWindow(parent),
    ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
    QtTreePropertyBrowser * p = new QtTreePropertyBrowser(this);
    ui->setupUi(this);
}

MainWindow::~MainWindow()
{
    delete ui;
}

Application Output Window shows: QWidget: Must construct a QApplication before a QWidget

sure, it's by default

@jronald Can you paste your MyApp.h and MyApp.cpp here. Also If possible your .pro file.

I've created a new Qt Widget Application for testing.

QtTreePropertyBrowser

Where did you get that class from ?

Tried https://code.qt.io/qt-solutions/qt-solutions.git, to my surprise it works.
Thank you very much

2 points to mention:

• debug/release must be matched for app and the lib
• clean before build (rebuild may be ok, not tried), or delete the build dir manully
