Installation and getting started with first app

vinb

please wrap your code with @ tag

KennedyDayala

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

vinb

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

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

vinb

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

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?

KennedyDayala

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.

KennedyDayala

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.

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
@

KennedyDayala

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 ?

andre

"control variables"? You mean you need a pointer to them?

@
m_ui->myCoolLineEdit->setText("I'm so cool!");
@

works for me. myCoolLineEdit is of course the name you gave the widget in Designer, and m_ui is the member variable that holds the UI class you created.

KennedyDayala

excellent..now i understood this part Andre..I have creaed a QTreeWidget on my MainWindow and coded like tihs..

@
ui->treeWidgetDrives = new QTreeWidget();
ui->treeWidgetDrives->setColumnCount(1);
QStringList strlstHeaders;
strlstHeaders<<tr("Storage Drives");
ui->treeWidgetDrives->setHeaderLabels(strlstHeaders);
@

...when i run my code nothing is happened to my TreeWidget(no header is assigned)..instead it is showing the properties which i set from 'Edit Tree Widget' dialog !!!

[EDIT: code formatting, please use @-tags, Volker]

The tree widget is automatically created for you. Just remove the first line of your snippet.

KennedyDayala

if i remove that line and run the code I am not getting my Window displayed and here is the ouput..

Starting E:\Bose\Qt playground\IDT_Demo_UI-build-desktop\debug\IDT_Demo_UI.exe...
E:\Bose\Qt playground\IDT_Demo_UI-build-desktop\debug\IDT_Demo_UI.exe exited with code -1073741819

goetz

code -1073741819 = 0xC0000005. On windows this means an access violation. Seems like your UI is not initialized properly or messed up in some way....

KennedyDayala

perfect analysis..

I have moved this line to bottom of the code like this..

@
IDT_MainWindow::IDT_MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
QMainWindow(parent),
ui(new Ui::IDT_MainWindow)

{
// my code here...

    ui->setupUi(this);

}
@

now i moved it to top and works fine..thanks a ton

[EDIT: code formatting, please use @-tags or the editor button, Volker]

KennedyDayala

only one child item is being shown to my TreeWidget..please look into my code and lemme know where I went wrong !!

@IDT_MainWindow::IDT_MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
QMainWindow(parent),
ui(new Ui::IDT_MainWindow)

{
ui->setupUi(this);

ui->treeWidgetDrives->setColumnCount(1);
QStringList strlstHeaders;
strlstHeaders<<tr("Storage Drives");
ui->treeWidgetDrives->setHeaderLabels(strlstHeaders);

SetupTreeItems();

}
void IDT_MainWindow::SetupTreeItems()
{
QTreeWidgetItem *treeItems = new QTreeWidgetItem(ui->treeWidgetDrives);
treeItems->setText(0,tr("SystemDrives"));
QTreeWidgetItem *treeChildItems = new QTreeWidgetItem(treeItems);
QDir dir;
dir.setFilter(QDir::Drives);

QFileInfoList roots = dir.drives();

for(int i=0 ; i<roots.count() ; ++i)
{
    QFileInfo fiDrives = roots.at(i);
    QString strDrive = fiDrives.absoluteFilePath();
    treeChildItems->setText(i,strDrive);
}

}@

goetz

You must create a new item in your loop. You just overwrite the on you have in each iteration.
