It looks like you are missing the declaration matching this implementation in the protected section of your main window header file.

thanks for replay

I don't think that because i find the declaration in QWidget.h by click "Switch between method declaration/definition" in the context menu.
here is the declaration :

#if defined(Q_WS_WIN)
virtual bool winEvent(MSG *message, long *result);


I built this project successfully few days ago !!!!!!!!! I don't know what happened and what is the solution !!!!!!
please some advice may be helpful
thanks for advanced

ChrisW67 already answered, its basic C++ - if you want to reimplement a method in a subclass, you need to declare it again.
