Console settings
-
Hello, everyone.
Can someone tell me how do I get exit(return) code and message like "Press enter to close the window" in my console application using default Qt console(qtcreator_process_stub.exe)?
Like in Visual Studio, for example:
@Rool This "Press enter to close the window" is not printed by your application, but Visual Studio console. You can verify that if you start your app manually from cmd.exe. If you want to have this in your app you have to do it by yourself, there is no magic. Use std::cout and std::cin for that.

As @jsulm says for the messages (they are just being produced by the VS console, not your program).You also ask about the "exit code". I presume the Russian states your program "exited with code 0". That corresponds to your
return 0at the end of yourmain(). If you write a Qt program which runs another program like the one you show, or any other program, it can retrieve the exit code of that program via, say,int exitCode = QProcess::execute("someprogram.exe", QStringList()). -
QtCreator should write that line too.
Do you have
consolein your.profile?
(Something likeCONFIG += console)Is the "Run in terminal" option checked in your kit / run & build settings?

@jsulm Yeah, I know, but I was thinking is there is an option to print this as Visual Studio console does. And also I've seen it is possible in Qt console:

Yes, it's also the program, but I think I can manage it in another way.

You are getting hung up on what VS console is doing for you.qtcreator_process_stub.exeis just VS's own wrapper for executing your Qt console application. None of this exists outside of running your program from VS. Forget about what it does.-
If you want to output the messages you see there, do e.g. your own
cout << "Message". Orcinfor reading characters. -
The only point of the "exit code" stuff you see there is if you run a sub-process from your Qt program, and you want to get its return code. (Which is how the VS console is acting in this case.) For that I showed you how to do that from a Qt program. If you don't have that situation, then the return code is of no interest.

I can confirm:
- Console project, with Qt in QtCreator (MinGW) -> no message.
- Raw C++ console project, no Qt (MinGW) -> "Press <Enter>... " message
