thanks amn..I will go through that link now..

btw I have this compiler error when I compiled my demo app on windows using QTreeView which I am planning to display the SystemStorage info

In file included from ..\IDT_Demo_UI\main.cpp:2:
..\IDT_Demo_UI/idt_mainwindow.h:23: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of 'QSystemStorageInfo' with no type

its say were you have to look!
ĺine 23 of the file idt_mainwindow.h, you didnt end the line with ; or/and you didnt include QSystemStorageInfo

giesbert

Or you only declared the type like
@
class QSystemStorageInfo;
@
and use it as member. This is not allowed. If you use it for pointers, declaration like above should work.

Gerolf...I have included
#include <QSystemStorageInfo>

and this is the complete compilation report

please wrap your code with @ tag

? Offline

I am realy sorry vinb...I didn't get you !! how to rap with a tag ??

? Offline

i dont think "QSystemStorageInfo" exist in Qt,
only:
QSysInfo
QSystemLocale
QSystemSemaphore
QSystemTrayIcon

If it is your own made you have to use "" instead of <>.

? Offline

use @
then your code and end with "@" without the ""

giesbert

Your problem lies more in the beginning of your build output:

@
..\IDT_Demo_UI/idt_mainwindow.h:4:30: error: QSystemStorageInfo: No such file or directory
@

where does QSystemStorageInfo come from?

If I googled correctly, it's part of QtMobility, did you install that? did you add the needed include paths in the pro file?

? Offline

ok...then which class should i use to get the system storage info if it is for desktop application ?

giesbert

Afaik QtMobility may also be used on the Desktop. But you have to set your include paths.

? Offline

please guide me how to set that ...

giesbert

I said Afaik, not that I did it before ;-)

I never used QtMobility

I don't know what info you want to get from QSystemStorageInfo, but maybe "QDesktopServices::storageLocation() ":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qdesktopservices.html#storageLocation provides what you need.

mlong

In order to use the QSystemStorageInfo class from Mobility, be sure that in your .pro file you have included the lines

@
CONFIG += mobility
MOBILITY += systeminfo
@

Thanks a lot...

without changing .pro file I am trying with QDir::Drives()..I will update you soon about my results..before that I have another query...

I have placed my controls on the main window by opening 'mainwindow.ui' in design mode..how would I create control variables for those controls in my code using QTCreator ?
