Hi. I'm trying to follow that simple example:
http://amin-ahmadi.com/2015/11/14/how-to-use-system-wide-hotkeys-in-your-qt-application/
Everything good except line with RegisterHotKey function. It gives some error which i can not even comprehend...

Can anybody help please?

@Engelard
what compiler ?
just tried with mingw and it just worked.

sorry missed the link before :)

update:
tried with visual studio also and it works.

So try to completely delete you build and try again - it should work.

Hi
Its a windows API call so you need to link its DLL

try with
LIBS += -lUser32
in your pro file and rebuild all.

@mrjj ofc i did that. That is the point, i followed every step from that example and it gave me this err.

Such bugs of this framework makes me sad. I for the whole day was thinking what's wrong with me...

Its not a bug in a technical sense.
But it would be nice if qmake would recreate ALL of the make file when you change the .pro file or at least ask.
