dummy question(Error)

Why does this error happen? I am sure that there is such a file in the directory! what is the problem?

In project properties, in the adtional include directories, add a ".\" entry.
This means it will look for user headers in the current directory too.

EDIT: This option is the first one in C/C++ / General.

Hi Marcel,

I just added what you said. But the same thing happened!

Could you post the include section, from the cpp and also from the header?
Why isn't there a ".h" appended to the header name?
Is that what the file is being called? Just "FindDialog"? Not "FindDialog.h"?

Hi again,

.cpp

Code:

---

#include <QtGui/QApplication>
#include "FindDialog"
 
FindDialog::FindDialog(QWidget *parent)
           :QDialog(parent)
{
	label = new QLabel(tr("Find &what:"));
	lineEdit= new QLineEdit;
	label->setBuddy(lineEdit);
	caseCheckBox = new QCheckBox(tr("Match &case"));
	backwardCheckBox = new QCheckBox(tr("Search &backward"));
	findButton = new QPushButton(tr("&Find"));
	findButton->setDefault(true);
	findButton->setEnabled(false);
	closeButton = new QPushButton(tr("Close"));
	connect(lineEdit, SIGNAL(textChanged(const QString &)),
		this, SLOT(enableFindButton(const QString &)));
	connect(findButton, SIGNAL(clicked()),
		this, SLOT(findClicked()));
	connect(closeButton, SIGNAL(clicked()),
		this, SLOT(close()));
	QHBoxLayout* topLeftLayout = new QHBoxLayout;
	topLeftLayout->addWidget(label);
	topLeftLayout->addWidget(lineEdit);
	QVBoxLayout* leftLayout = new QVBoxLayout;
	leftLayout->addLayout(topLeftLayout);
	leftLayout->addWidget(caseCheckBox);
	leftLayout->addWidegt(backwardCheckBox);
	QVBoxLayout* rightLayout = new QVBoxLayout;
	rightLayout->addWidget(findButton);
	rightLayout->addWidget(closeButton);
	rightLayout->addStretch();
	QHBoxLayout* mainLayout = new QHBoxLayout;
	mainLayout->addLayout(leftLayout);
	mainLayout->addLayout(rightLayout);
	setLayout(mainLayout);
	setWindowTitle(tr("Find"));
	setFixedHeight(sizeHint().height());
}
 
void FindDFialog::findClicked()
{
	QString text =lineEdit->text();
	Qt::CaseSensitivity cs = 
		caseCheckBox->isChecked() ? Qt::CaseSensitive 
		                            : Qt::CaseInsensitive;
	if (backwardCheckBox->isChecked()) {
		emit findPrevious(text, cs);
	} else {
		emit findNext(text, cs);
	}
}
void FindDialog::enableFindButton(const QString &text)
{
	findButton->setEnabled(!text.isEmpty());
}

Header:

Code:

---

#ifndef FINDDIALOG_H
#define FINDDIALOG_H
 
#include <QDialog>
class QCheckBox;
class QLabel;
class QLineEdit;
class QPushButton;
 
 
class FindDialog : public QDialog
{
    Q_OBJECT
 
public:
    FindDialog(QWidget *parent = 0);
    ~FindDialog();
signals:
	void findNext(const QString &str, Qt::CaseSensitivity cs);
	void findPrevious(const QString &str, Qt::CaseSensitivity cs);
private slots:
	void findClicked();
	void enableFindButton(const QString& text);
private:
	QLabel* label;
	QLineEdit* lineEdit;
    QCheckBox* caseCheckBox;
	QCheckBox* backwardCheckBox;
	QPushButton* findButton;
	QPushButton* closeButton;
};
#endif

---

But instead of

Code:

---

#include "FindDialog"

---

you should have:

Code:

---

#include "FindDialog[B].h[/B]"

---

It is that simple.
You can even see in the solution explorer that the file is called FindDialog.h.

Do this modification and it will work.

Well! That's right! I actually did it before and when I saw that I got 46 errors then I thought that is not the solution! But yes! Actually this time it sees the ".h" and ".cpp" file but returns a massive amount of errors!

I have to get used to this debugging thing! I am sending the Long Error-list also here.

Add missing #include directives to FindDialog.cpp and the errors should go away.

Those are because you did not included the necessary files in the cpp file.
For example QLabel, QPushButton, etc...

You should include all the headers for the classes that you forward declared in FindDialog.h.

Regards

Yeah! I included those mentioned classes. and seems that it would work! But still a question! I have this error right now!

any idea?

You have declared a destructor, but you didn't implement it. Either remove the declaration or add the implementation.

Yes! It is working now!!
Is it better to use destructor in Qt or let it the compiler do it?

It depends how you implement your class. Qt deletes all child QObjects, when their parent is destroyed, so usually you don't need a destructor.
