Creating a QMainWindow in _tWinMain()

Perdrix

Can I create an instance of a subclassed QMainWindow in my WinMain() function and then invoke the overridden CWinApp::Run() that QMfcApp delivers?

Or do I have to throw away WinMain and all the QMfcApp and QWinWidget stuff and just go for a standard main() that invokes QApplication::exec(). If so where do I put all the MFC/Ole/GDI initialisation stuff that's necessary for me to use MFC components that I haven't yet converted to Qt?

Confused - yes!

Well, I tried it:

		DeepSkyStacker	mainWindow;

		if (!fileListName.isEmpty())
		{
			ZTRACE_RUNTIME("Set Starting File List");
			mainWindow.setFileListName(fileListName);
			ZTRACE_RUNTIME("Set Starting File List - ok");
		}

		mainWindow.show();
		ZTRACE_RUNTIME("Creating Main Window - ok");

		try
		{
			ZTRACE_RUNTIME("Invoking Run() ");
			theApp.Run();
		//	dlg.DoModal();
		}

The main window opened just fine, but when I closed it, theApp.Run() didn't return as it didn't return from QMfcApp.Run().

BOOL CDeepSkyStackerApp::Run()
{
ZFUNCTRACE_RUNTIME();
const int result = QMfcApp::run(this);
delete qApp;
return result;
}

If I use "Break All" in the debugger at this point the call stack looks like:

What am I doing wrong?
