mini-term in qt4.

Today's features:
  • A simple terminal-like application built from a qt4 class that can be used for other stuff too.
  • The present application can run shell commands and has copy/paste (ctrl-c, ctrl-v) capabilitity.
  • Another example of the Windows-like api so that C/C++ code can run in Qt4.
  • Runs the custom code (terminal in this case) inside a QT 'exec' loop... sorta. We call it 'run()'.

QT4 -- Having trouble with qInitResouces_<appname>() ?

Having trouble with qInitResouces_<appname>()?

Try this.
Code:
#ifdef Q_INIT_RESOURCE
#undef Q_INIT_RESOURCE
#endif

#define Q_INIT_RESOURCE(name) extern void qInitResources_##name()
The version of this macro in qglobal.h could never have ever worked.

If you enjoy digging into the low level stuff, I think you'll be amused by the context of this bug. ;-)

Posted 12-13-2012 at 01:52 PM by rainbowsally

[This is FUN!! It works. What a freaking trip. :-)]

The previous entry on using Old Style callbacks wasn't much of a hit. Ooooooohhhh... it's a hit alright.

But here it is in it's second incarnation cleaned up a bit though it needs a bit more simplification due to the number of elements that are involved and where they need to go. But this is cool.

Today's Features

A Stand Alone executable QT MsgBox with Stays On Top attribute

  • How to center a window on the screen.
  • Using the short optargs to parse the options.

The msgbox utility in the 'extras' folders of the mc2 d/load (see link below) uses xmessage for the display widget. That makes it independent of QT so it can run on any computer that has the X windowing system.
