QRegExpValidator on Windows 10 / Qt 6.1.2

AxelVienna

I am developing a Qt based user interface which is compiled both on Linux and Windows 10 / MinGW.
The project requires me to use Qt 5.15.2 on Linux and Qt 6.1.2 on Windows 10, which works fine with some tweaks in the .pro file.

I get stuck with QRegExpValidator on the Windows compile server:

    ui->serialNumber->setValidator(new QRegExpValidator(QRegExp("[1-9][0-9]*"), this));

...compiles just fine on Linux/Qt 5.15.2 and causes Windows 10 / MinGW with Qt 6.1.2 to say unknown type name 'QRegExpValidator'.

I expected that QT+=core5compat in my .pro file would take care of the issue, but it does not.
For sure I have overlooked something, but I don't find it. Windows and I are not so close...
Thanks in advance for helping me a hand.

Hi,

Please change to QRegularExpressionValidator. The QRegExp related classes were already deprecated in Qt 5.

In the code snippet you show, you can really just swap the two classes.

OMG, I should have looked at the Compiler warnings.
Solved -> thanks.
