[SOLVED]C++ class with QML

Javeria

Hello i ve recently made a demo class to test if i can declare its object in main:
Butit gives me unresolved external error, here is the header file:
@
#ifndef DETECTSQUARES_H
#define DETECTSQUARES_H

#include <QObject>

class DetectSquares: public QObject
{
Q_OBJECT
Q_PROPERTY(QString author READ author WRITE setAuthor NOTIFY authorChanged)
public:
explicit DetectSquares(QObject *parent=0);
~DetectSquares();
};

#endif // DETECTSQUARES_H
@

I get error when i declare
DetectSquares r;

Hi,

It seems you have not defined the functions for the property author. Just right click on Q_PROPERTY and click "Generate missiin Q_PROPERTY members".

@@ class DetectSquares: public QObject
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
void Draw();
}; @@

I made it simple but if i call it in the main function like this :
@@ DetectSquares * r();
r.Draw(); @@

I get error .Draw must have class/struct/union

Since you are decalring it a pointer it should be
@
DetectSquares *r;
r->Draw();
@

or keep it on stack
@
DetectSquares r;
r.Draw();

If you choose to use a pointer do not forget to create the object.
Even if that compiles you will get a crash because r does not point to a valid object.
Even better use an automatic pointer to avoid memory leaks:
@QScopedPointer<DetectSquares> r(new DetectSquares());
r->Draw();@
