    @lfreeman6490 said in setupUi is not a member of my QT application:

    ui_Pathloss.h

    do not change ui_Pathloss.h because it is generated. Change pathloss.ui or Pathloss.ui file
    Your class name has to match to the name defined in
    <class>*****</class> in pathloss.ui or Pathloss.ui file

      Depending on what that interface contains, it could be simpler to just rebuilt it from scratch and be done with it.

                  You can see where I use TestWidget in .cpp, .h and .ui. They have to be the same.

                      @JoeCFD I have it all the same except for one line in my pathloss.ui file. It has my widget class as a "QFrame" and it has to be changed in the design mode it says

                      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
                      <ui version="4.0">
                       <author>free</author>
                       <class>pathloss</class>
                       <widget class="QFrame" name="pathloss">
                        <property name="geometry">

                        use upper case
                        <class>pathloss</class> ===> <class>Pathloss</class>
                        <widget class="QFrame" name="Pathloss"> <====not critical

                          @JoeCFD I was able to edit the xml and change my widgets section to be a QWidget and I'm dealing with some other errors from here. Thanks
