Style Plugin Example does not show red Button


  • Hi,

    I have run Style Plugin Example in Qt5.6
    But I don't see the red button. Is it a bug?
    I am using Windows 7.

    hi
    Most likely the plugin dll was not copied to the right folder.
    This seems to be QTDIR/plugins/styles but not sure as I never made a Style plugin.
    Its not a bug with the sample as such.

    Thanks,
    I found that the plugins at
    C:...\styleplugin\release\styles\libsimplestyleplugin.a
    C:...\styleplugin\release\styles\simplestyleplugin.dll
    Isn't it the right location?
    The excutable was created in
    C:...\styleplugin\release\styleplugin.exe
    But still I don't see the red button.
    I also put libsimplestyleplugin.a and simplestyleplugin.dll to
    QTDIR/plugins/styles
    but I could not see the red button.

    Hi , i think it needs to be placed in predefined folder unless the sample
    uses other means to load it.

    Does predefined folder mean QTDIR/plugins/styles?
    I also put libsimplestyleplugin.a and simplestyleplugin.dll to there, but it did not make any change.
    I used Qt windows binary version.
    Do I have to compile Qt itself to use plugin?

    Yes I think so. I have not tried a Style plugin but it was the same with designer plugin.
    Should be placed in right folder.
    It should be clear from reading the docs.

    Update:
    The sample says
    "We set the library to be stored in the styles folder under stylewindow because this is a path in which Qt will search for style plugins."
    So maybe it looks there.

    Hi,

    You should also add QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1 to the environment variables in the Run part of the project panel. That should give you more clues about why it doesn't load.

    Thanks, I put qputenv("QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS", QByteArray("1")); before
    QApplication app(argv, args); in main(). And I got the following output,
    It seems it loaded the simplestyleplugin.dll. I don't understand why it checks
    C:/Qt/Qt5.6.2/5.6/mingw49_32/plugins/accessible which I don't have. And it
    says libsimplestyleplugin.a is not a plugin. I heard that .a is a static
    library. This example is for dynamic plugin. I have no idea why I created a
    static library.

    From this line: loaded library "C:/Qt/build-styleplugin-Desktop_Qt_5_6_2_MinGW_32bit-Release/release/styles/simplestyleplugin.dll" it looks like it has been loaded, no ?
