QProcess: show window of console application and get access to application status at the same time ?

[MHermann]

Hello,
I have to start a console application from my Qt application.
Therefore I am using QProcess and start().
The task manager shows me that the console application was started successfully. But no console is shown.
I also tried it with startDetached(). Then the console is show, but then I am not able to get the status of the console application, because (as the function name says) it is detached from my Qt application.
Can anyone tell me how I can start a console application with a shown console and have access to the status of the console application at the same time?

Greetings,
MHermann

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Can you show the code where you use QProcess ? Also on which OS/Qt combo are you working ?

Hi,

I am using Qt4.7.1 and I am working on Windows 7 64bit.

@
// ...
QString programAndArguments;
programAndArguments += ""example.exe"";
programAndArguments += " -x -y";

QProcess *m_processAvrdude;
m_processAvrdude = new QProcess(this);

m_processAvrdude->start(programAndArguments);
bool ret = m_processAvrdude->waitForStarted();
if (ret == true)
// ...
@

And as I mentioned in my post before the process starts but the belonging console isn't shown.

Pretty old version of Qt, are you locked to it ?

Please take a look at QProcess's documentation to build the argument list
