I am getting the following types of error while using qcustomplot in visual studio
................
1>qcustomplot.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "protected: virtual void __cdecl QObject::timerEvent(class QTimerEvent *)" (?timerEvent@QObject@@MEAAXPEAVQTimerEvent@@@Z)

Hi
qcustomplot uses Qt.
So i think you are not linking to Qt dlls which would normally happen if it was a
Qt enabled project.
Normally people use
http://doc.qt.io/qtvstools/index.html
to help use Qt. but i guess you have a normal vs project ?

Yes it is a normal VS project.

@yabhishek
Well then you bascially just have to link to the Qt dlls like you would nay other external
lib. At least QtCore QtGui i would imagine.

I have followed the steps mentioned here
http://ldmartin68.com/QTSetup4VSNET.html
but not finding which .dll or .lib to add

@yabhishek
My guess would be
core gui widgets printsupport
as that is needed for running CustomPlot examples.
