QThread base class not being populated in Creator IDE

[Aham]

I've installed Qt 5.7 with Creator IDE on Windows (8.1). I'm not getting QThread option (as a base class) when I try to add a new class to a project on the Creator IDE? What could be the reason?

AFAIK, Qt Creator's new class wizards offer a limited selection of base classes. QThread inherits from QObject, so just choose QObject as the base class, then edit the resulting code to change the base class to QThread.

I think the wizard has an option for "custom base class"

Cheers,
