I figured out my problem... I forgot to include the widget in the .lib.pro file...

Thanks @J-Hilk
The link provided needs other configuration.

My machine configuration is

Red Hat Linux - 32 bit
Qt creator 1.2.92, based on Qt 4.6.0 (32 bit)
Make version: GNU Make 3.81
Qmake version: 1.07a (Qt 3.3.6)

Please let me know what are the pre-requisites for a plugin. I want to create a menu item for Qt creator.

Thanks in advance.

Thanx bro! I just guessed and download it :D

If someone interesting you can solve problem like this:

C++ side:

QVariantMap params { {"osm.mapping.highdpi_tiles", YOUR_CUSTOM_VALUE}, {"osm.mapping.offline.directory", YOUR_CUSTOM_VALUE}, {"osm.mapping.cache.directory", YOUR_CUSTOM_VALUE} }; QQuickView *view = new QQuickView; view->setSource(QUrl(QStringLiteral("qrc:/qml/OSMView.qml"))); QObject *item = (QObject *) view->rootObject(); QMetaObject::invokeMethod(item, "initializePlugin", Q_ARG(QVariant, QVariant::fromValue(params)));

QML side:

Item { id: osmMain property variant parameters function initializePlugin(pluginParameters) { var parameters = new Array; for(var prop in pluginParameters) { var parameter = Qt.createQmlObject('import QtLocation 5.6; PluginParameter{ name: "'+ prop + '"; value: "' + pluginParameters[prop] + '"}', map) parameters.push(parameter) } osmMain.parameters = parameters map.plugin = Qt.createQmlObject('import QtLocation 5.6; Plugin{ name: "osm"; parameters: osmMain.parameters }', osmMain) } Map { id: map <...> } <...> }

I've changed it to check if it's in the first edit, to stop the timer so it'd look like

123.___.___.___

And then the user will have to manually hit "Delete" repeatedly to delete the characters. This way, the program doesn't crash. It's not exactly elegant, but it's close enough to the requirements I was given.

I have also changed that curEdit->installEventFilter(this) is only called once.

Thank you very much for your help, I will go ahead and mark this as solved.

Thank you @jsulm, I thought I read the documentation through, but apparently not. Also, I'm not calling QFrame. I saw the link I posted and used it as more of a guideline to create an IP Editor for my needs. Thank you for your help :)

Thanks for the link, but I am mostly interested in being able to do it all through the Qt Designer UI via a plugin.

Build Qt qml plugin for iOS (static plugin)

Plugin Pro file like flow:
TEMPLATE = lib
TARGET = iostestqmlplugin
QT += qml quick
CONFIG += qt plugin c++11 static
uri = IosQmlPluginTest # module name
QMAKE_MOC_OPTIONS += -Muri=$$uri # static plugin must use this

2.qmldir file
module IosQmlPluginTest
plugin iostestqmlplugin
typeinfo plugins.qmltypes #static plugin required
classname IosqmlpluginPlugin # static plugin must set classname for plugin c++ class

TimeLabel 1.0 qrc:/TimeLabel.qml # your self qml document

3.qrc file must contains qmldir file, Qt default put qmldir in qrc file with prefix likes: “/qt-project.org/imports/your-plugin-modele-name”, You can special yourself prefix but must endwiths “your-plugin-module-name” and in main cpp need add addImportPath(eg: engine.addImportPath(“qrc:/your-self-prefix-not-contains-your-plugin-module-name”))

4.put plugins.qmltypes, qmldir and plugin library files together into where Qt install dir’s sub fold name qml($$[QT_INSTALL_QML] Qt default serach path), maybe you can special yourself path in your app pro file by variable QMLPATHS(QMLPATHS += /your/plugin/path)

Init the plugin resources(contains qmldir) at plugin c++ class construction function like:Q_INIT_RESOURCE(your-qrc-file-name);

6.pulugins.qmltypes file it’s required. can gernerate by qmlplugindup tool.

7.refrence QtWebView plugin project from Qt source

usually error:
1.static plugin for module “QtQuick” with name “your-module-name” has no metadata URI
fix by add in pro file:QMAKE_MOC_OPTIONS += -Muri=$$URI #URI = your-module-name
thanks from:https://github.com/wang-bin/QtAV/issues/368

2.Plugin “your-module-name” is missing a classname entry
fix by add in qmldir file: classname your-plugin—c++-name
Reference http://doc.qt.io/qt-5.6/qtqml-modules-qmldir.html

module “your-plugin-module-name” is not installed
fix by: Qmldir file must in plugin qrc file, plugins.qmltypes need in the plugin dir and special in qmldir

Well knowing windows searching, i always cheat and use
https://www.voidtools.com/
On NTFS drives, it will find anything really fast and takes wildcards.
Its only for filenames but on the other hand, it finds a file in secs even on a 4 TB drive. :)

The meta data is specific to each plugin type. For QQmlExtensionPlugin, there are none, as of Qt 5.7 at least. The JSON properties are mentioned in the documentation of each plugin type that uses the meta data for something. For example, the meta data file of a QStylePlugin contains the name/key of the style(s) it provides, for QSqlDriverPlugin it's the name/key of the driver, and so on.

workaround A: register private types in initializeEngine() instead workaround B: remove the protected module identifier line from the qmldir file

Thank you for your answer!

The database is on a remote server elsewhere, so the openssl stuff I have no clue outside what I included already from my system.

and it works ! Thank you all :)
