create QApplication in a dll for uni tests

[rajji_saini]

Hi,

I am creating unit tests for my Qt project using cppunit and my goal is to be able to initiate a map control, add graphics and other objects to map control when unit tests are run. Basically trying to make it UI based automated tests.

I have created a map widget application and wrapped it in to a dll. This is what I want to consume in my tests and draw stuff on it on the fly while running UI tests. My issue is that now I have QApplication inside a dll and once the exec has been called on QApplication it goes out of my control. What should I do to get control back so that I can get hold of map object and add stuff to it.


Regards,
Raj

Is there any kind of Signal that QApplication emits, once it is done creation of the application(i.e. UI has been created) ?????

You can call QMetaObject::invokeMethod() to schedule execution of a method (slot) once the application enters the event loop.
