Installation and getting started with first app

goetz

code -1073741819 = 0xC0000005. On windows this means an access violation. Seems like your UI is not initialized properly or messed up in some way....

KennedyDayala

perfect analysis..

I have moved this line to bottom of the code like this..

@
IDT_MainWindow::IDT_MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
QMainWindow(parent),
ui(new Ui::IDT_MainWindow)

{
// my code here...

    ui->setupUi(this);

}
@

now i moved it to top and works fine..thanks a ton

[EDIT: code formatting, please use @-tags or the editor button, Volker]

only one child item is being shown to my TreeWidget..please look into my code and lemme know where I went wrong !!

@IDT_MainWindow::IDT_MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
QMainWindow(parent),
ui(new Ui::IDT_MainWindow)

{
ui->setupUi(this);

ui->treeWidgetDrives->setColumnCount(1);
QStringList strlstHeaders;
strlstHeaders<<tr("Storage Drives");
ui->treeWidgetDrives->setHeaderLabels(strlstHeaders);

SetupTreeItems();

}
void IDT_MainWindow::SetupTreeItems()
{
QTreeWidgetItem *treeItems = new QTreeWidgetItem(ui->treeWidgetDrives);
treeItems->setText(0,tr("SystemDrives"));
QTreeWidgetItem *treeChildItems = new QTreeWidgetItem(treeItems);
QDir dir;
dir.setFilter(QDir::Drives);

QFileInfoList roots = dir.drives();

for(int i=0 ; i<roots.count() ; ++i)
{
    QFileInfo fiDrives = roots.at(i);
    QString strDrive = fiDrives.absoluteFilePath();
    treeChildItems->setText(i,strDrive);
}

}@

You must create a new item in your loop. You just overwrite the on you have in each iteration.

andre

Your loop keeps on updating the text of the same tree item. Do you really expect to see more of them then?

KennedyDayala

you mean like this ??

@for(int i=0 ; i<roots.count() ; ++i)
{
treeChildItems = new QTreeWidgetItem(treeItems);
QFileInfo fiDrives = roots.at(i);
QString strDrive = fiDrives.absoluteFilePath();
treeChildItems->setText(i,strDrive);
}@

[quote author="Thomas Kennedy" date="1301584395"]you mean like this ??

treeChildItems->setText(i,strDrive);

You can try it to get the answer :-)

KennedyDayala

tried...it added an 'empty item' at 0th position,and 'c:' at 1st..and no more :-(

andre

So... you need to aquire some debugging skills... Just try to follow what happens in your code. Don't guess: measure instead. Try for instance to insert statements like this at every relevant point in your function, and look at the output:

@
qDebug() << LINE;
@

KennedyDayala

:-)) ok..will do that..

goetz

Of course you must have an empty first entry, because you create this one outside your loop (line 21 in your original code snippet).

This is the compactified working version:

@
void FancyClass::populate() {
ui->treeWidget->setColumnCount(1);
QStringList headers;
headers << "Storage Device";
ui->treeWidget->setHeaderLabels(headers);

QTreeWidgetItem *rootItem = new QTreeWidgetItem(ui->treeWidget);
rootItem->setText(0, "SystemDevice");

foreach(QFileInfo drive, QDir::drives()) {
    QTreeWidgetItem *driveItem = new QTreeWidgetItem(rootItem);
    driveItem->setText(0, drive.absoluteFilePath());
}

}

/me is thinking that instead of building a tree like that himself, he would use a QFileSystemModel instead...

KennedyDayala

thanks a lot...I will try with QFileSystemModel too..

"The program can't start because mingwm10.dll is missing from your computer.Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

..i am getting this error when i tried running my application in stand alone mode...any help ??

giesbert

YOu are startin g without QtCreator, right?

Did you try to search the forum for answers?

see this "post":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/4869

KennedyDayala

yes Gerolf..I searched..everybody says that we need to set the invironment varioables..I did that too but of no use..

giesbert

put the needed dlls beside your exe or set the PATH environment variable to contain the path to mingw10.dll.

KennedyDayala

I have set the PATH environment variable..but it says QtCode4.dll is missing !!

giesbert

QtCode4? what's this? or do you mean QtCore4.dll?
Then the path to this dll is miossinmg :-)
You have to add it also.

KennedyDayala

sorry..that was typo..QtCore4.dll is correct..but where will this DLL reside ?
