QtCreator -- Making Qt Creator find other sources when using Signals/Slots, and deploying for Win..
-
Hello, I recently been using just plain cpp files, and decided to just use QtCreator, and when I go to make an Options.cpp and Options.h file, and gave a class name of Options, it doesn't detect my Options class name, I've included my Options.h file in the TExtEditor.h file, and Options doesn't appear in the drop-down menu within Slots section, can anybody help here? Also, I couldn't find any how-to's on making qt compile for Win , I use Arch Linux, how can I compile for Win, if I don't use it? I have a friend who said he'd like to give my apps a go, and doesn't want to download Qt, so is there any way I can compile it on Arch, and then zip it up for him? Wished I could be more specific, but I have no way of explaining it any other way, and have no error messages. Thanks in advance, =).

If you already have files with code, it's not necessary to create a new class with Creator. Just add the files to the project file (.pro file, variables SOURCES and HEADERS).
Regarding the windows build: You want to cross compile, should be possible with MinGW. I do not have any experience with that, maybe some others can give you some hints. If you do not have a windows box at your hand then good luck with finding errors in your deployment package. That's no fun even if you're sitting right in front of windows, let alone try-and-error on some remote box.

That's what I mean, I added an Options.cpp Options.h file, I tried to use the actionOptions Menu Item clicked event to the Options class, it doesn't detect it, I just started over and just going to use my custom sources, no biggie, =). Are you familiar with QTabWidget?? I can't quite understand it.. I even used QtCreator to check what it did, no clue on that one, as in, I didn't understand it..

It would be helpful, if you could provide us the content of Options.h and Options.cpp (use pastebin, if it's too big).
Regarding the QTabWidget, please open a new thread with the actual question you have. It's not quite hard to use. Also, look at the examples in the Qt sources.

Yeah, it's kinda late.. But I'll include what I did have in the source files..
@
#ifndef OPTIONS_H
#define OPTIONS_H#include <QMainWindow>
class Options : public QMainWindow
{
Q_OBJECTpublic:
Options();private:
};
#endif // end of Options .h
#include "Options.h"
#include <QtGui>Options::Options()
{setWindowTitle(tr("Set your options)); setGeometry(350, 350, 700, 800);}
// end of Options.cpp
@I just made the class H and CPP Files, just for now, later I'll edit them..
in the TextEditor.h file I have this : Options *options;
#include "Options.h"; // also
in the TextEditor.cpp file I have this : options = new Options();Any clues why QtCreator doesn't put Options in the dropdown when in the signals slots pane?
[EDIT: code formatting, pleas use @-tags, Volker]

Can you make some screenshot(s) and describe what you expect to appear where?[/quote]
yeah, sorry about that, I deleted those files a while ago..
