    Both @jsulm and I have asked you explicitly to show the context of your .pro file, else we won't be able to help. Is there any reason you have chosen not to do so and want people to guess?

      Do you have a .pro file for your project? Have you put into that which Qt modules your project will be using?

      .pro file is missing. Additional modules are not connected. An example of the program is taken from the finished blank when creating a new project.

          Yes, Cmake is used, I just started learning and working with Qt, so I don't fully understand you. As I understand you mean file with name CMakeList.txt:

            @Nik_prog04 QMainWindow should be found.
            Question: does your app build?

              Yes, there are no obvious errors in the build process.

                @Nik_prog04 So, as I assumed at the beginning the problem is the code model used to analyse code in QtCreator. What QtCreator version do you use? I think there were bugs related to code model.

                      @Nik_prog04 You can disable the Clang code model plug-in in QtCreator to get rid of these false positives.
