void run();
private:
QString messageStr;
volatile bool stopped;

};

Thread::Thread()
{
stopped=false;
}
void Thread::run()
{
while (!stopped)
std::cerr<<qPrintable(messageStr);
stopped=false;
std::cerr<<std::endl;
}
void Thread::stop()
{
stopped=true;
}

class ThreadDialog:public QDialog
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
ThreadDialog(QWidget *parent=0);
protected:
void closeEvent(QCloseEvent *event);

private slots:
void startOrStopThreadA();
void startOrStopThreadB();

private:
Thread threadA;
Thread threadB;
QPushButton *threadAButton;
QPushButton *threadBButton;
QPushButton *quitButton;
};
ThreadDialog::ThreadDialog(QWidget *parent)
:QDialog(parent)
{
threadA.setMessage("A");
threadB.setMessage("B");

threadAButton=new QPushButton(tr("Start A"));
threadBButton=new QPushButton(tr("Start B"));
quitButton=new QPushButton(tr("Quit"));
quitButton->setDefault(true);
connect (threadAButton,SIGNAL(clicked()),this,SLOT(startOr StopThreadA()));
connect (threadBButton,SIGNAL(clicked()),this,SLOT(startOr StopThreadB()));


}

void ThreadDialog::startOrStopThreadA()
{
if(threadA.isRunning()){
threadA.stop();
threadAButton->setText(tr("Start A"));
}else{
threadA.start();
threadAButton->setText(tr("Stop A"));
}
}

void ThreadDialog::startOrStopThreadB()
{
if (threadB.isRunning()){
threadB.stop();
threadBButton->setText(tr("Start B"));
}else{
threadB.start();
threadBButton->setText(tr("Stop B"));
}
}
void ThreadDialog::closeEvent(QCloseEvent *event)
{
threadA.stop();
threadB.stop();
threadA.wait();
threadB.wait();
event->accept();
}


int main(int argc,char *argv[]){
// what shoul i write here for using this program?
}

Am... you should not start with threaded programming in C++ before you know basic C/C++.
Then you could start playing with Qt, but not threaded.
THEN learn what threaded programming is.
And only then you will be able to code Qt threaded apps.

Look at Qt examples.

Particularly, where is your QApplication variable?

Did you work through all the example programs in chapters 1 through 13?

Seriously: if you don't understand what the main function does, or how to declare variables, you're skipping over way, way too much. You need to take several steps back and learn the basics first.

Chapter 14 of the book assumes that you have read the explanation on the very first page of Chapter 1 and can work it out for yourself. Chapter 2 has an example almost perfectly suited. There are numerous other examples in the book before Ch 14, each with a similar pattern just to reinforce the lesson.
