    that's a bit difficult to debug with just that information.

    a couple of things to check:

    • did you include MyLineEdit.h
    • as a header only class do you still have a .cpp file in your project
    • switch to the compiler output tab, the error there should provide more information

    @j-hilk i've put MyLineEdit class directly in .cpp file
    to keep Target value

    this is Compile Output

    Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
    "vtable for MyLineEdit", referenced from:
    MyLineEdit::MyLineEdit(QWidget*) in fresatura.o
    NOTE: a missing vtable usually means the first non-inline virtual member function has no definition.
    ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
    clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
    make: *** [CNCMaster.app/Contents/MacOS/CNCMaster] Error 1
    13:25:08: The process "/usr/bin/make" exited with code 2.

      @j-hilk i've tried to put MyLineEdit class to .h file like explained here

      https://lizardo.wordpress.com/2009/04/24/undefined-reference-to-vtable-for-errors-in-qt-derived-classes/

      but

      i have this:

      use of undeclared identifier qApp

      on this line

      QWidget * widgetName = qApp->focusWidget();

          @eddy said in QLineEdit lostFocus problem:

          #include <QApplication>

          you're right .. i forgot it

          but now i have this:

          duplicate symbol _Target in:
          fresatura.o
          mainwindow.o
          duplicate symbol _Target in:
          fresatura.o

            search your project for "Target"
            the compiler tells you you have defined it twice

            EDIT: look in the pro file also

              EDIT: can TARGET in pro file give duplicate??
              it's better change name??

                I would not expect it.

                But anyway is it possible to upload a small compilable example. We're guessing all the time what could be wrong in your application.

                        You cannot put a line without putting something behind MOBILITY
                        like
                        MOBILITY += sensors
                        What is it you want to do here?

                        I recommend when looking at your code to make it work first on desktop before even thinking on using it on Android.
                        Comment that line for now and look in Qt Creator at all the lines with errors. Solve one at a time...you cannot let lines open or ignore warnings from the compiler.

                            It may cause trouble, because you define two QObject - derived classes in one header file. Put your custom LineEdit in a separate headerfile (and .cpp) and include it in your dialog. Then try to compile it again :)


                            If debugging is the process of removing software bugs, then programming must be the process of putting them in.

                              and i've #included it in fresatura.cpp

                              #include "mylineedit.h"

                                @thecipo76 said in QLineEdit lostFocus problem:
                                extern QString Target;

                                and then in the mylineedit.CPP file you also have

                                QString Target;

                                so its actually defined ?

                                      @mrjj No, if i click on "1" pushbutton i have to read Target in order to know in wich mylineedit i have to insert "1".

                                      Target is the mylineedit who lost focus

                                      i don't know if it's clear

                                        well first of all the buttons should have NoFocus set so clicking them do not steal focus.
                                        There is no reason for it to lose focus unless you pop something else up first that takes focus.
                                        But in your case, its not keyboard that steal it but something else
                                        that takes focus while in the window ??

                                          @mrjj Ah.. with NoFocus setted i don't need to subclass QLineEdit
                                          and it's all more easy

                                          Thank you very much
