    Default passing arguments from command line to QT application

    Hello!

    I've got problem with passing arguments from command line to application:

    Qt Code:
    1. #include <QtGui/QApplication>
    2. #include "mainwindow.h"
    3.  
    4. int main(int argc, char *argv[])
    5. {
    6. QApplication a(argc, argv);
    7. MainWindow w;
    8.  
    9. w.show();
    10.  
    11. w.myVariable = QString(argv[1]).toInt();
    12.  
    13. return a.exec();
    14. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    myVariable is public. And it has very weird values. When I pass that argument to function which is printing that value on console at startup everything is ok. How can I do it?

    thanks in advance
    best regards
    Tomasz

    Use QCoreAppliction::arguments() instead of argv.
    Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.

    Please ask Qt related questions on the forum and not using private messages or visitor messages.
