Some problems

Hi
I'm learning Qt from its,as I heard,official book.But I have problems with two of its examples.
1-This with the find Dialog example.I wrote exactly what was written in the book.But after making,I understood that the layout direction is right to left.As you may know,this example doesn't have a .ui file that I can modify it to change the layout direction.What is the problem and the solution?
2-This one is with the cell location dialog example.Again I did exactly everything that was written in the book.But after making it,there was two errors.The strange thing about the errors was this that they were complaining about the XML code in the .ui file.The errors are:

expected unqualified-id before '<?' token
'Cell' does not name a type

They are respectively for the lines below:

Qt Code:

Switch view

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
<string>&amp;Cell Location</string>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
<string>&amp;Cell Location</string>

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

thanks

Are you trying to compile an XML file with a C++ compiler or what?

No.I just run make on my project and I got these messages.I if I tried to compile the XML file with the C++ compiler I would take hundred lines of error.

So where does this error:

expected unqualified-id before '<?' token
'Cell' does not name a type

come from? Could you paste a bit more, including the last command what was run etc?

EDIT: And what does your .pro file look like?

This is my .pro file

Remove the file from HEADERS, it shouldn't be there. Anyway your first post suggests you did try to compile an xml file with c++ compiler - it broke on the <?xml token and tried to recover by moving to the next statement (after the semicolon) and immediately broke again on "Cell".

I didn't write that.anyway I changed it but there was no difference.when I remove and run qmake on it,it adds that line again and the make gives the same error.I even deleted that line and run make on it but there was still the same problem.
