#include <QtWidgets/QtWidgets> problem

SherifOmran

Dear guys,

I had my program compiling very well but now i dont know what happened ..
I have now Qt.4.8.6 with mingw

in my header i had

@
#include <QtWidgets/QtWidgets>
@

and
@
#include <Qtwidgets/QApplication>
@
and
@
#include <QtPrintSupport/QPrinter>
#include <QtPrintSupport/QPrintDialog>
@
but now it says: no such file or directory

could any body please describe me the problem in details because i don't understand it?

I ve this code and there is a mistake, i wonder it used to compile very well before.. Could it be that i used vs2010 compiler and now MinGw?

In Ui_login.h file , i get the following

@
void retranslateUi(QWidget *Login)
{
Login->setWindowTitle(QApplication::translate("Login", "Login", 0, 0));
loginbrowse->setText(QApplication::translate("Login", "...", 0, 0));
} // retranslateUi
@

Error says

Invalid conversion from int to Qcoreapplication::Encoding

I know it could be solved with the following, but i want to understand what is the mistake in the above QApplication::translate ..
@
QObject::tr("Login"));

tanslate() takes different number of arguments in Qt4 and Qt5:
"Qt 4":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qcoreapplication.html#translate
"Qt 5":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qcoreapplication.html#translate
You need to supply the additional Encoding argument or drop the last 0 entirely if you're not using it anywhere.

thank you for your reply
when i drop the last 0, it works .. but i am using Qt4.8 ..
how come that it inherits the Qt5 stuff?
this is the proper way to do it
@
Login->setWindowTitle(QApplication::translate("Login", "Login", 0, QApplication::UnicodeUTF8));

I have now the following issue, it does not find the QInputMethod any more
and says keyboardinputlocal is not a member of QLocal .. haa !!
Any idea?
thanks

@
#include <QInputMethod>
QLocale t= QLocale::keyboardInputLocale ();

@
QLocale::keyboardInputLocale ();
@[/quote]That function doesn't exist in Qt 4 or Qt 5. Where did you get it from?

Anyway, your question was already answered 6 months ago: http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/42636

bq. how come that it inherits the Qt5 stuff?

It doesn't inherit anything. What does that even mean?

This is apparently code written for Qt5 and you are trying to run it with Qt4 so it breaks.

no it was written for qt4
but may be a different version of qt creator

any body has a clue for the input keyboard function above ..

It's like saying it was written for different version of notepad. Qt Creator is an IDE (a fancy text editor that also runs build tools). It has little to do with whether this code compiles or not.

Most of the code that you posted so far was Qt5 specific and needed a backport to Qt4, so get your story straight ;)
