Solved Qt GUI in Visual Studio..New Added Widgets through Qt Designer inaccessible
-
Hello Everyone,
I wrote an application in Visual Studio and I needed to create a GUI for it so I decided to use Qt and I'm having a small but weird problem.
Let's say I add a Push button to the GUI in the Qt Designer. When I build the Application the UI Compiler creates the corresponding header file "ui_myApp.h" which has the new Push button.
When I Try to access the new Button and connect Signals and Slots the I can't find the Button. I only see old Widgets that I added before the Last build. It actually should show me "pushButton_2" and "pushButton_3" but I have only access to the pushButton and other Widgets before the last build.(See Figure)
I Checked the headerfile "ui_myApp.h" and the new Widgets are actually there. The Header file is correctly included. When I run my Application the new Button and new Widgets are there too. Why can't I access them when Connecting Signals and Slots in "myApp.cpp"??
Thanks!

This may or may not help anyone. But if anyone ever faces the problem here how I solved it:
Each time I add new Widgets to my GUI using QT Designer I save the changes in the Form. Then I clean the Solution and Rebuild. Then I close Visual Studio and start it again. The new Widgets are accessible after these action. Not sure why.. but it does the job.
