    Default How to use C++ includes?

    Hi,

    I have used Qt Designer to create a simple application, inside the form1.ui.h File I have my slot functions. In order to understand better when which part is called I wanted to print text output to stdout via cout << "we are here"; I have place the #include<iostream> inside the form1.ui.h file. Anyway the compiler complains that "cout" is not defined.

    Am I trying something really stupid? Where do I have to place the include?

    Regards,
    Jochen

    Ok, found that I have to enter the include in "Includes (in Implementation)" of Qt Designer, now I can compile. But I don't see an output...

    I expect to see some output after I click on file open, I have implemented:

    void Form1::fileOpen()
    {
    cout << "my output";
    }

    Since it uses the standard signals/slots created by default I can't see where the error is.

    Flush the output buffer:

    Qt Code:
    1. #include <iostream>
    2.  
    3. void Form1::fileOpen(){
    4. std::cout << "my output" << std::endl;
    5. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    And remember that you have to run the application from a terminal.

    BTW. It might be easier to use qDebug() instead of those cout statements.

    That works perfectly! Thanks as well for the hint with qdebug. Will have a look into this as well.
