QApplication::desktop()->screenGeometry() not work in qt6

timob256

I'm trying to find out the screen size.

Previously, I recognized with one command, but now it does not work.

 QRect size = QApplication::desktop()->screenGeometry();  
 this->resize(size.width() * 0.25, size.height() * 0.25);

but QApplication::desktop() not work this now ;_:

i traing using

QSize size = screen->availableSize();
this->resize(size.width() * 0.25, size.height() * 0.25);

but this hot work

How to find out the screen size now ???

    QSize size1 = screen->availableSize();   // error
    this->resize(size1.width() * 0.25, size1.height() * 0.25);


  QRect size = QApplication::desktop()->screenGeometry();  // error
    this->resize(size.width() * 0.25, size.height() * 0.25);

    gridlayout = new QGridLayout(parent);
    gridlayout->addWidget(wgt);

    this->setLayout(gridlayout);

You have to know this ! I mean - is your crystal ball not working today?

Educated guess: If you want to use QDesktopWidget you should insert the header where the class is defined - basic C

I had a similar problem, as I was trying to build the small project of
https://github.com/LAmmeraal/sourceCode/blob/master/changeline.cpp
in Qt6 , I could see the error, and in the end what I did is substituting the line:

//QRect rec = QApplication::desktop()->screenGeometry();  // for Qt5
QRect rec = QApplication::primaryScreen()->geometry();  // Qt6 , along with the #include <QScreen> at the top

@geodoomgr: your tip helped, now works great on QT 6.6.3 thanks
