How to use standard COM method to link a Qt GCC C++ .exe and a project in MVS C++?
(Note: MVSC project code using class.)

Fragment of the MVSC header file code which is supposed to be included in Qt project(filename:catDataPreparator.h):-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
class catDataPreparator
{
public:
// constructor
__declspec(dllexport) catDataPreparator();

// destructor
__declspec(dllexport) ~catDataPreparator(void);

// methods
//=========
// METHODS FOR GUI FORM
__declspec(dllexport) void processInputData(const char*, const char* , const int, const float, const float, const int, const float, const float );
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mainwindow.h which is Qt project header file,where catDataPreparator.h is included, code as below:

#ifndef MAINWINDOW_H
#define MAINWINDOW_H

#pragma once

#include <QMainWindow>

babygal, please use [ code ] and [ /code] tags to enclose code. Makes it easier for everyone to read.

If it is a COM object then you need to read the ActiveQt documentation. Usually it comes down to:

• Run dumpcpp against the COM dll or ocx
• Include the generated header and implementation in your Qt project.
• Create an instance of the proxy object that dumpcpp has defined/implemented.
